Summary
Birds who have lived in a cage since their birth can not be introduced again to nature by themselves and, sometimes, even the aid of others is not enough to make them self-sufficient for once. Their innate freedom is long gone and all they know is how to sing inside their little cages.
The girl adjusted her sleeves, playing with the fabric.
I’m too stiff for such things. This was her way of denying her desire to go to the shore and stay there for a moment, watching the sea. Feeling the sand on her toes.
Her clothes would be ruined. It would be a burden to her servants.
She wasn’t like him, anyway.
Yet maybe, just for once, for a fraction of a moment... Maybe then she could be a little bit different. At least until the windows were closed again.

Summary
Everyone acquainted with the writing society of Liyue knew of the friendly, loyal, and healthy competition between Miss Hu of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and the young heir of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, master Xingqiu. From simple sonnets to complex structures, there was no genre they wouldn't explore. Under pseudonyms, they continued to release several works that swayed the widest of audiences amongst Liyue.
And although the Versemonger of the Darkest Alleys had come victorious for most of their matches, Zhenyu came up with a new strategy capable of leaving the most talkative of poets speechless. Hu Tao happened to find it amongst his manuscripts when looking for a pen in his room while the young master distracted himself with his ice-like companion.
Flabbergasted, she knew her own life experience was no match for what her rival had written. Bold and quite provocative, the words he had prepared to dispute against her in the crowd were unmatched given her own life experience. Even so, their dispute became secondary as soon as the image of a certain moody Adeptus came to mind between the lines of the erotic novel. She was adamant, there was no way of winning this competition without Adeptus Xiao's expertise.

Summary
On the path before sunrise, she saw a clear silhouette - It was Artem, waiting for her. She couldn’t leave quietly after all.
“I have been deeply in love with you ever since you saved my life. I have never seen such a tenacious, independent, and gentle woman like you. There were plenty of chances for me to tell you: I like you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
“But I cannot stay with you. If there’s one thing that I must do in life. it is to go on adventures, continuous adventures. I’m sorry…”
“I think I’m also a romanticist. I’m willing to risk everything I have for the sake of adventure. I’m sorry…”
With tears in her eyes, Anna knew.
She knew the moment she embarked on this journey. It was the kind of man she fell in love with.

Summary
"Reality is harsh. There is no comfort, nothing to hold on to.
The blessings of the gods? Long gone.
Expecting something more out of it... Salvation, even, was something only the foolish would do.
Yet here he was... A yaksha entertaining the delusions of imbecilic humans who brazenly mistook a mere beast for some sort of god... How ridiculous.
What was he supposed to do when telling the truth for (un)known reasons became more complicated than slaying the mightiest of demons?
He never imagined he would ever become the object of his own ridicule due to... Lack of self-control."
