    Summary

    “Mind telling me what this is?” Hua Cheng asked.

    Curious, Xie Lian brought a hand to it, and he traced the delicate filigree that ran along the edges of the box. Hua Cheng seemed to think that he knew what it was, but he really couldn’t recall. It wasn’t until his hand laid flat on the lid of the coffer that something suddenly clicked, and it brought a mortifying memory to the surface.

    All the blood quickly drained from his face, and he clutched the lid tightly enough to whiten his knuckles, too.

    “You already know what this is… don’t you?” he asked meekly.

    “I do,” Hua Cheng confirmed. “But I’m curious to know where you found such a thing. Won’t you tell me?”

    Nestled within the box was that dreadful child-bearing pill that was almost gifted to Hua Cheng a while back.

    Xie Lian suffers the consequences (or rather, reaps the rewards) of hanging on to one of Hua Cheng's birthday gifts.

    Of course, Shen Qingqiu isn't that sweet - nor that harmless.

    Summary

    “You’d do anything to save him, wouldn’t you.”

    Shen Qingqiu forces his eyes to meet Luo Binghe’s. “Anything.”

    “I already have your life,” Luo Binghe says idly. “You don’t have much more to give, do you?”

    Shen Qingqiu blinks placidly. “I’m sure you can think of something.”

    Luo Binghe smiles slowly, looking almost vulpine. “Of course, I can. In fact, I know what I want from you, Shen Qingqiu.”

    He doesn’t want to imagine what depravity lurks in Luo Binghe’s mind. He inclines his head, skin itching at the contact with Luo Binghe, and waits.

    When Shen Qingqiu's life is in his hands, Luo Binghe asks for something Shen Qingqiu thought he'd given away long ago-- his loyalty.

    Summary

    Shi Qingxuan was born to be doted on.

    It’s a feat that He Xuan, to this day, hasn’t figured out. Her parents, first, then her brother, all splurging to give her the shiniest life with the bloodiest money.

    And He Xuan could never argue that he’s any different, try as he might.

    Summary

    the Yi City s/m performance art AU that really, no one asked for.

    The night Xue Yang meets Xiao Xingchen is the night Xingchen wires Song Lan’s hands down onstage. Barbed metal; hovering just above his skin. A series of compass points skittering sharp across the thin flesh of his wrist, its hefty jut of bone.

    Xue Yang’s mouth waters to see the steel, glinting sunny in the smear of the projector’s beam.
