    Summary

    Hua Cheng, a rather famous leader of a bandit, stole something he shouldn't have which somehow led him into being the crown prince of Xian Le's sole concubine to save his sister's life from a deadly curse.

    "Kneel."

    Hua Cheng kneels, head hanging low and complexion still. It is not that he is afraid, it's just that after years of living, he has learnt to be intelligent. Clever enough to analyze the situation, do as it suffice, abide and object when the time is right.

    "Why so far away? Come closer."

    When he is in this situation, however, kneeling with his head resting against the prince's lap, he doesn't feel quite right.

    Hua Cheng has learnt by living for years and for the first time in a while, he feels like he is doing his part wrongly.

    Or;

    Hua Cheng stole treasures but became one himself.

    Summary

    Once upon a time, there was a kingdom by the name of Xian Le. This country was renowned for its four treasures – delicate beauties, thriving literary arts, glimmering jewels, and of course…

    His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

    You see, there is a famous trial in Xian Le. On the night of his 16th birthday, Xie Lian would be free to wed. "Pass all three trials, and the crown is yours!" Sounds simple, right? Suitors from across the country flocked to the Royal Capital, eager to try their luck in courting the elusive prince. But alas, the spot next to the Crown Prince continued to remain empty a decade later.

    Exultant praises of the Crown Prince's beauty soon morphed into muttered scepticism. Maybe... there’s something wrong with the Crown Prince? Is he ugly? Disfigured? Unlovable? Or maybe, the challenges were truly too difficult.

    The day of summer solstice, a mysterious figure appears. "My name is Crimson Rain Sought Flower," the masked man announces, "and I'm here to ask for the Crown Prince's hand in marriage."

    Summary

    Noticing Xie Lian’s attention on him, Hua Cheng’s lip curled into half a smile as he tilted his head.
    “Tinder, hm?”, he drawled, “what for?”
    Xie Lian rubbed a hand against his forehead, Hua Cheng’s direct question leaving him flustered.
    “Ah, Qingxuan said that it could be good for me to…”, another sheepish cough, “to get to know some new people. To, uh-“, Xie Lian looked away, “…to flirt.”
    He could feel the weight of Hua Cheng’s stare against the side of his face.
    “…To flirt”, Hua Cheng repeated, his face unreadable.

    Xie Lian downloads a dating app. Hua Cheng is of course there to help him.

    Summary

    Mei Nianqing is still proud of his former pupil—and why SHOULDN’T he be? Despite 800 years and, ahem, a little rebellious phase, Xie Lian still had all the qualities of the perfect student: diligent, intelligent, celibate—yes, CELIBATE! Surely he was still celibate, even after running off with that no-good ghost king, right? After all, he's Xie Lian! He wouldn’t break his principles, especially not over someone like that.

    But, over the course of a prolonged stay at paradise manor, the evidence starts building up...and to his horror, Guoshi is beginning to suspect that...his star pupil, his pure snow-white lotus...His Highness the Crown Prince...

    ...IS SECRETLY TEACHING HUA CHENG CALLIGRAPHY!!!
