    Summary

    A 15 years old Luka is repeatedly told that everything he achieved must've been thanks to his parents and not years worth of his meticulous hard work. By then he knows better than to argue and just smiles. A 23 years old Luka thinks that despite everything his parents must've raised him right, because here he is, relishing in the blindingly bright spotlight, rich, famous and successful.

    Luka at 27 thinks that if his parents were kinder, he might've learned that there is more to life than numbers and contracts and vocal exercises, but what does he know. Luka has a carefully crafted career to uphold, and it requires him to maintain his facade. Is it a facade if that's just what he has been this entire time?

    Luka doesn't know.

    Summary

    Shen Yuan has had a push-and-pull relationship with Shen Qingqiu for years. Shen Yuan knows that Shen Qingqiu is meant to be a villain, but he knows just as well that many of the things Shen Qingqiu was accused of in Proud Immortal Demon Way were just shitty misunderstandings, and over the years Shen Yuan has become reluctantly fond of his Shizun.

    Abusing Luo Binghe was not a misunderstanding, though, and Shen Yuan will do whatever he can to correct the fact that he wasn't there to protect Luo Binghe when it happened.

    --
    “Shizun, I already said that I like beasts best - if I can’t raise Luo Binghe to be my shidi, can’t I raise him as my pet instead?”

    Summary

    "Old friendships became scattered to the winds, and enemies were either captured or dead. Only memories remain. Fallen generals don't have to endure such torment, but those who survive have to go through it all, no matter how great a vision one has dreamed of and no matter how many overwhelming enemies one has defeated, time will always reduce one's strength little by little yet cruelly spares one's life, leaving one cowering in a corner and hating one's own powerlessness.

     

    Only the truly wise can stand proud in front of the undefeated enemy called time."

     

    But there is only so much he can stand. There is only so much the general can do.

    He is but a man. Who had weathered through heartbreaks and tragedy and death. He is not invulnerable. He is stronger than most, he is after all, the only one who was left. But even the cliffside must yield to the sea. And Jing Yuan had finally yielded to time.

    Summary

    “It’s next week.” The owner taps her perfectly manicured finger—must not be a chef then—against the paper, accidentally brushing against his own hand. He not so discreetly pulls away so he can wipe his fingers on what’s left of his shirt. She looks offended. “And it’s a couple’s discount. Though I doubt you have a girlfriend.”

    Caelus scoffs. “I have a girlfriend.”

    OR

    Caelus needs a fake partner in order to qualify for the couple’s discount at Garden of Gourmet, so he asks everyone he can think of. Everyone except Dan Heng.
