Summary
Cui Buqu pulled open the curtains and glanced outside.
They were driving deeper into the forest. All around were the calmly swaying oak trees and the hushed sounds of the wilderness.
It was true that being in nature was beneficial to a person’s wellbeing. It relaxed one’s mind, cleared all anxious thoughts and…
“Ququ, what are you looking at? Isn’t the most beautiful man alive right in front of you? What use is there in staring out the window?”
Cui Buqu: “…”
The Commander of the Zuoyue Bureau closed the curtains irritably and turned back to glare at the other person in the carriage. “I was trying to find a reason for which the Second Commander of the Jiejian bureau would be here. I found none.”
Feng Xiao unhurriedly waved himself with a fan, as he sat in front of Cui Buqu in a languid manner. “Daoist Cui, why be so fierce? Of course, I have a reason to be here!”
“Which is?”
“You are here, so naturally, I'm here too!”
Cui Buqu: “…”

Summary
Pei Xiu quickly changed his sword’s trajectory and swung with all his might. Only that, even after being fooled, the butterfly was still faster than him and easily fluttered away.
“Not bad, so you can use your brain. But can you avoid this?”
The butterfly changed its trajectory and flew towards Pei Xiu like a shooting star. It was going way too fast for Pei Xiu to dodge, so he raised his sword and prepared to take the hit.
At that moment, a silver sword’s glare appeared from his left. It moved even faster than the butterfly and accurately sliced the insect in half.
His saviour was wearing a helmet that made it hard to discern his identity. However, without even looking Pei Xiu knew that this soldier was Xie Lian.
The butterfly master clapped his hands with a laugh. “So your friend also decided to come out. And here I though he was only planning to watch.”
Xie Lian sheathed his sword and politely clasped his hands in greeting. “Sir, we mean no harm. It would be degrading for you to lower yourself to the level of mortals. Please let us go.”
The man’s hands that had been clapping a moment ago froze mid-air. There was an obvious shift in atmosphere causing Xie Lian to turn wary.

Summary
The couple of weird looking men looked at Wei Wuxian, like he was the weird one, saying:
„Mo Xuanyu, what are you saying? How can you possibly forget where this is?”
Ah, so that’s it. These people seemed to have known, who his body’s owner is.
“Ah, you see, this is really embarrassing. I seem to have hit my head on a rock and don’t remember anything besides my name! Could you guys remind me where we are and what is that paint on your faces? This doesn’t seem like a festival…’’
The two men looked at each other with complicated expressions, before one of them laughed bitterly.
"Forgetting everything huh? Ignorance really is bliss. I wish I could have been the one who forgot everything..."
Noticing Wei Wuxian confused expression the man cleared his throat and explained:
‘‘We are in the detention camp. But it‘s not the kind of camp for prisoners. It‘s specifically designed to detain omegas. There are lots of alphas patrolling here making us work like dogs for them. They treat us like animals, only that they’re the real beasts here…’’

Summary
Lu Feng followed behind him. “It’s different.”
An Zhe really wanted this conversation to be over but he couldn’t help being provoked by Lu Feng each time. “How so?”
Lu Feng tapped his ID card against his door reader. “Can’t explain it.”
An Zhe wanted to strangle him with his hyphae. “Then how am I supposed to understand it?”
Lu Feng’s door was open, but he wasn’t entering his apartment. He looked back over at An Zhe—who hadn’t even opened his door yet, too engrossed in the conversation and probably too curious and naive for his own good. Lu Feng didn’t respond at first and An Zhe finally turned his back on him and pulled out his ID card to open his own apartment and leave.
Before An Zhe could enter, however, Lu Feng said, “I could show you.”

Summary
When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.
It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
Xie Lian has a plan.
“Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
His voice caught.
“I mean, to—”
Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
“As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”- Language:

Summary
“Your Highness,” Feng Xin says carefully, “what do you…how much do you remember?”
“Clearly, he remembers enough,” Mu Qing snaps. He waves an emphatic hand. “He’s happy to see us, isn’t he?”
“Ah, it’s really alright, I remember most things,” Xie Lian says, placating. “I just don’t…”
His eyes skitter nervously towards Hua Cheng and then away again; the tension in Hua Cheng’s shoulders, in his entire body, stretches closer to snapping. It feels like every muscle is straining under the weight of this, like every cell in his body is rebelling against this…this horror.
Still, he manages to say what Xie Lian apparently cannot: “He just doesn’t remember me.”
