    Summary

    Bai Wuxiang, the conquering emperor of the Feral Plague, gets his hands on a new pet for his adopted son, Hua Cheng. What's more is it's the brightest, and possibly, last light of human civilization- the fallen Crown Prince, Xie Lian. He hopes to use this creature to further twist his child's mind into madness. But he has always underestimated Hua Cheng - his strength, his resilience, and apparently, his propensity to love.

    How could Bai Wuxiang know that not only was he bringing Hua Cheng the encouragement he needed to overthrow this nefarious demon, but also his fated mate and moon of his life?

    Summary

    There's a turquoise awning over the gold-trimmed doorway and before San Niang even walks her through, Xie Lian is trying to straighten her back into proper posture. San Niang lightly squeezes her hand.

    There is a small crowd milling around inside; waiters in matching uniforms carrying trays of champagne, and people standing in front of some of the displays talking quietly to each other. San Niang's work occupies a whole room, the wing to the right of the doorway. The brick walls are decorated mostly with her largest oil paintings— massive abstract and lurid scenes that are at once sinister and inviting.

    At the center, there is a sculpture of a plum branch, frozen in bloom, the flowers made of blown glass rather than steel like the rest. The branch is twice San Niang's height and each of the dozen flowers is a unique one.

    "This came out incredible," Xie Lian says, stopping a few feet away from the centerpiece to take the whole thing in. San Niang snorts, her eye darting the other way.

    Summary

    No matter how she tries to word it, the question is going to sound terribly awkward. Even if San Niang is the most trustworthy person Xie Lian knows, she might decide to simply hang up and go back to sleep.

    “I wondered… I mean, since then I have been wondering if maybe what Shi Qingxuan was suggesting might not be entirely out of the realm of possibility,” she rushes through this as quickly as possible, squeezing her eyes closed as she speaks. “I don’t really know how to judge what I’m, um, supposed to feel.”

    “About… women?” San Niang says, posing the question tentatively.

    “Yes,” Xie Lian says, breathing it out.

    “Oh,” San Niang says, just as softly. “Okay. Um.”
