Summary
“Like this?” Hua Cheng’s voice sounds deeper than usual. Something about it sounds off, as though...
As though Hua Cheng is scared. (...)
Xie Lian glances at Hua Cheng’s hands. They’re smaller in this form and the silver vambraces are nowhere to be seen, but for Xie Lian that doesn’t matter. He reaches for them.
The touch is feather-light at first. A shiver runs down Xie Lian’s spine. Hua Cheng’s hand is cold, colder than it’s ever been before in this form. Could it be that he gave up on pretending? No, Xie Lian can still hear his breath—and it’s nervous and labored, shallow and fast. He covers Hua Cheng’s hand with his own, running his thumb over one long, elegant finger. A smile curves his lips. Xie Lian’s fingers slide over the back of Hua Cheng’s hand until they’re intertwined.
It’s warm.
His voice is no more than a whisper. He repeats, “Like this.”Xie Lian really wants to see Hua Cheng's true form—and with it finds out he has far more feelings for the Ghost King than he lets on.

Summary
Xie Lian shakes his head. “I can’t be a Queen without a marriage.”
“But we have a King!” Ban Yue’s voice rises a few octaves. Xie Lian bites his lip, desperately trying to contain his laugh. He can’t help but hope Hua Cheng can hear this.
“I don’t look good in red.”
“General Hua always looked beautiful in red!”
“I’m a terrible cook.”
“He likes your food.”
“I’m weird.”
“You are weird.”
“Ban Yue!”
She laughs, light and carefree like a bird. Xie Lian’s heart warms a bit at its sound.Ban Yue has some things to say and Hua Cheng happens to agree with every one of them.

Summary
Hua Cheng’s arms are gentle and warm around him. Xie Lian knows from experience that they’re strong enough to carry him through a battle with ease. His mind wanders back to the Sinner’s Pit, to the steady comfort of Hua Cheng’s hold, to how cherished he felt when Hua Cheng said in a serious voice, “It’s dirty.”
He can’t help but inwardly chuckle at the memory. And then, something else resurfaces, something Xie Lian pushed to the back of his mind over eight hundred years ago. Xie Lian bites his lower lip, his chest suddenly full of want yet too scared to appear selfish or spoiled.
Hua Cheng notices the change right away. He pulls back just enough so he can look at Xie Lian’s eyes. His eyes are full of curiosity, as well as concern. “Gege?”
“It’s nothing. Nothing wrong,” Xie Lian says quickly, not wanting to worry Hua Cheng. “I just remembered something we used to do... In the court of Xianle.”
“Oh?” Hua Cheng tilts his head to the side.
Amidst the dream that is Paradise Manor, Xie Lian remembers the good and bad of Xianle. Thankfully for him, Hua Cheng is right there to remind him how loved he really is.

Summary
(...) Hua Cheng’s eye watches him with rapt attention. His gaze fixates on the crimson robe clinging to Xie Lian’s body. A wave of embarrassment makes his skin burn under the alpha’s gaze.
If this was in the past, Xie Lian would be spilling a thousand apologies—for intruding, for taking up a space he’s not sure he’s welcome in. Right now, however, he’s secure in the love of his alpha. There’s nothing to fear. He doesn’t apologize. Instead, he smiles.
Hua Cheng parts his lips. His gaze softens. “You’re happy,” he says somewhere between satisfaction and astonishment.
“San Lang makes me happy,” Xie Lian answers simply.
“Even in this form?”
“Especially in this form.” There’s no room for arguments. Xie Lian’s fingers close around the lapels of Hua Cheng’s robes. He pulls on them lightly. “Won’t San Lang kiss me?”It's been eight hundred years since Xie Lian built his last nest. He enjoys this new chance to the fullest—with the help of the precious silver butterflies he learned to love.
