    Summary

    These are MXTX's early works from when she was still a student. They were published in 2013-2014 in a magazine called “Super Nice”《超好看》. She wrote a total of five short stories, each around a few thousand words. All bearing elements of drama, horror, death, and complex character relationships that you can find later in her novels. These short stories are not particularly well-known and have never been translated before.
    Someone compiled these shorts together in a book on JJWXC, and we've decided to translate them together.

    The Chinese compilation can be found in the Notes.

    Summary

    It seems that, when it came to saving one another, Hua Cheng and Xie Lian were growing to be experts.

    Or the one where Xie Lian is a mermaid, and Hua Cheng grows up to be the most notorious ghost pirate who happens to reside in Xie Lian's cove. Purely by coincidence.

    Summary

    On cue, a series of hasty knocks sound on the prince’s cabin door. Xie Lian allows his features to relax into a dejected expression before he stands up and opens the door. Two royal guards greet him with panic-stricken faces.

    “My prince, our ship is under attack,” one of them informs, bowing his head in respect. “We advise you not to come out of your chambers until we rid the ship of all threats.”

    “I see,” Xie Lian mumbles softly, bowing his head in return, even though he’s of a much higher status than his guards. Nevertheless, they are the ones who dedicate their lives to ensure his well-being. “Who has invaded our ship?”

    Both guards share a nervous look, then turn toward their prince with a newfound urgency.

    “Crimson Rain,” the second guard says gravely.

    Summary

    “I’m afraid there isn’t anyone left who will pay a ransom for us now. Apologies.”

    “Why the fuck are you apologizing to them?” Mu Qing snaps. “Do you recall the part where we’re their unwilling captives?”

    “Politeness never hurts,” Xie Lian says.

    “I have a hard time believing no one would want you back, gege.” Hua Cheng’s words are spoken in almost a purr. Xie Lian sees He Xuan give Hua Cheng a subtle pinch on his upper arm—though, to the captain’s credit, he doesn’t even flinch.

    Summary

    Faced with such odd behaviour, Xie Lian couldn’t help but worry. As he took a deep breath to calm himself, a sweet scent suddenly assaulted his nose; an aroma that he was shamefully familiar with. It wasn’t long before he realized that it was coming directly from the man in front of him.

    All of him, really. His breath, his clothes, his hair—Hua Cheng reeked of it.

    “Oh, you’re…” Xie Lian said quietly. “You’re drunk, aren’t you?”

    In an over-the-top show of gratitude, Hua Cheng eagerly downs the whole jug of wine Xie Lian had thoughtfully given to him.
