    Summary

    "That’s right." Harvey sipped his drink, enjoying the way the burn settled on his tongue. "If I were working right now, you wouldn’t know it. You’d just think I was completely focused on you."

    She tilted her head. "Are you? Focused on me?"

    He was supposed to say yes. Instead, something in his chest gave the smallest, traitorous twist. The wrong face flickered in his head, the wrong eyes, blue and earnest and always, somehow, there. He shoved it down, smirked wider, and leaned in. "Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?"

    Julia held his gaze like she didn’t quite buy it, then let it go, swirling the wine in her glass. Harvey went to finish his own drink, but when the liquor hit his stomach, it felt heavier than it should have.

    Or, Harvey was drugged during a date, and Mike is there to help him pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    Set in Republican China, Chi Cheng has spent his life behind the walls of guilt and grief. Scarred by his mother’s suicide and haunted by his father’s words— “It was all your fault”—he has vowed to forever be afraid of touching another soul.

    When his uncle arranges a marriage to Wu Suowei, a gentle, innocent boy from a modest family, Chi Cheng expects only duty and distance. He does not expect the quiet persistence of a man who sees past the cold mask, who leaves tea by his door, hums in empty halls, and reaches without forcing.

    Bound by obligation, they navigate a house heavy with silence and echoes of the past. Slowly, small gestures and stolen glances crack the walls Chi Cheng has built around himself. In a world where love was never promised, two men must learn that desire, trust, and warmth can be chosen—even when everything else is arranged.

    [Inspired by Turkish drama: Kizil Goncalar.]
