    Summary

    It’s a really unfortunate thing, developing a crush on your husband. Wei Ying had assumed this would be easy. Lan Zhan had been so icy and unpleasant to him, it had never occurred to him that he might end up spending the next however many years with this dumb, burning feeling in his chest whenever he looks at him.

    “Okay,” says Wei Ying. “But tell me if I…if the pretending gets to be too hard, okay?”

    “It will not,” says Lan Zhan, quietly certain.

    Summary

    “There’s a new art exhibit opening tonight.”

     

    Mu Qing rolls his eyes. “Okay, and what about it?” he asks, sipping his tea.

     

    “Your wedding portrait’s one of the main pieces on display.”

     

    Mu Qing chokes and spills hot tea all over himself.

     

    (or, Feng Xin dies. Centuries later, a wedding portrait goes on display at a museum.)

    Summary

    “Oh, that’s He Xuan. He’s a regular.” 

    They’re on their break. Shi Qingxuan sips his coke through a straw, a small bag of chips open in his lap. The break room had been so crowded, so they’re sitting in the bath section, tucked near the back where the cheapest tub options are displayed. Shi Qingxuan sits atop a faux-marble countertop, and Xie Lian is sinking relaxedly into the boxy bathtub. His phone is in front of his face, a twizzler dangling from his lips. 

    “At first, I thought he was gonna hit me for telling him we couldn’t do the refund.” 

    Xie Lian snorts, good-naturedly. “He Xuan is as harmless as a butterfly.” He bites off a piece of the twizzler, then takes the rest from his mouth, spinning it between his thumb and forefinger. “He’s just a little...eccentric.” Shi Qingxuan thinks that’s a charitable opinion, but he doesn’t say so. Xie Lian slides his phone into the pocket of the gaudy orange apron that’s a part of their uniforms. “Anyway, manager says we should give him refunds when he wants them. No matter what state he’s bringing things back in.” 

    “Why?” Shi Qingxuan asks, baffled. 

    Biting off another piece of candy, Xie Lian shrugs. “Maybe she’s got a soft spot for him, I dunno.”

    Summary

    In order to pay off a debt that's not his, Shang Qinghua agrees to marry a man that's as cold and unyielding as he is stupidly rich.

    “Marriage?” His voice breaks over the word like it’s a curse. “Really? Doesn’t it feel a bit irrational?”

    “Are you planning to pay off an eight-figure debt with this job and a host job?” Mobei Jun asks, and Shang Qinghua almost wants to throttle him. Though, if his wallet didn’t have a direct funnel to his dad’s bank account, Shang Qinghua might actually have been a little comfortable.

    “That’s not what I meant!” Shang Qinghua huffs, his head still spinning. As far as being a married man goes, Shang Qinghua is nowhere near ready.

    “What?” Mobei Jun raises a single eyebrow. “Were you looking to marry for love?”

    Summary

    When Feng Xin reconnects with his childhood friend Xie Lian, after more than ten years, he doesn’t expect how much he’s changed. Co-owner of a tattoo shop, a shady and vaguely unsettling boyfriend, and a colorful collection of friends.

    He doesn’t expect Xie Lian’s business partner and best friend. He’s covered in tattoos and has a terrible attitude, and Feng Xin finds him fascinating and infuriating.

    Their first meeting goes terribly. It just goes downhill from there. Until it doesn’t.
