    Summary

    ! AUTHOR IS BACK FROM HIATUS !

    This is NOT a crack fic, whatever the tags swear to you.

    TL;DR:
    Disgraced ex-neurosurgeon Xie Lian becomes a janitor, gets thoroughly ruined by an attractive trauma surgeon, gets blackmailed into hospital embezzlement, and tries to avoid a nervous collapse.

    It’s fine. He’s fine. Everything is normal and entirely fine.

    Contains:
    – brain-breaking sex and brain-putting-back-in-afterward sex
    – Catholic levels of guilt
    – moral rot in the healthcare system
    – Texaco Mike
    – surgeons as a metaphor for godhood
    – and one man’s slow descent into bureaucratically sanctioned hell

    Explicit scenes are modular. Read them, skip them. You won’t miss any essential plot by doing so.

    Summary

    Yet, despite its overwhelming dissonance, despite all the molar-grinding concessions disguised as compromise, the appearance of the wedding itself wasn’t what now had Xie Lian choking on his own pesky expectations as they came surging sourly up his throat– but rather, the one and only empty place to be found in the entire venue.

    The altar.

    Xie Lian’s first thought was a mortifying head-on collision: one, that he couldn’t believe it, and two, that he should have fucking known.

    -

    After his decade-long, soul-sucking relationship with Jun Wu ends with being left at the altar, Xie Lian decides to take his life back into his own hands once and for all— starting with his would-be luxury honeymoon, now turned solo trip.

    Out of practice with relaxation, Xie Lian doesn't expect much more than a week of privacy in which to lick his wounds and try to start over. He certainly doesn't expect San Lang, the bold and spirited young man he encounters on the way, who seems determined to raise Xie Lian’s standards /for/ him, who somehow has all the gossip on the island resort they’re both going to— as well as its notorious owner, Hua Cheng.

    Maybe 'unexpected' is exactly what Xie Lian needs.

    Summary

    Five years of war leave the land drowned in blood. The Sheng dynasty has fallen, a new emperor sits on the throne, and the broken remnants of Xianle await their fate.

    Among them is the former Crown Prince, Xie Lian—once beloved, now a prisoner awaiting judgment.

    When rewards are offered for his role in ending the war, General Hua Cheng asks for only one thing: to marry the fallen prince.

    The court believes it must be cruelty, humiliation, or some elaborate punishment. No one understands why he would want a disgraced prince with nothing left to give.

    Least of all Xie Lian himself.
