Summary
In a world where 99.9% of people have a red string and a fated special other, Xiao Zhan is an odd one out, with no string at all.
He's been navigating his life just fine, completely resigned to being fated to be alone, but something is still missing, and he still wishes for the opposite. Soon after the feeling begins amplifying, a new neighbor moves in next door - and although Xiao Zhan is instantly pulled towards him, and with inexplicable force, his new neighbor does possess a red string of his own, even if he didn't yet meet his match.Is it worth to try and defy fate? Can it even be done? Or is Xiao Zhan just making things worse for himself by wishing for someone he can't keep in the end?

Summary
Xiao Zhan is suffering. He is an accomplished journalist and photographer, now tasked with following GT World Challenge Asia to then write an exclusive report about China's newest promising racer. The only issue? Xiao Zhan doesn't have a the slightest interest in motorsports, and the racer in question keeps turning down everyone asking for interviews... at least until the two of them meet.

Summary
Wang Yibo is famously bad with horror movies, especially the haunted kind. So, when it turns out that his own new apartment might be haunted by an actual real-life ghost, very much outside of a horror movie, he is ready to assume that the universe is playing a cruel joke on him.
Except, this ghost is very different from the ones depicted in such media. Very ironically, that ends up making it all the more cruel, somehow, especially as the question arises: can you fall in love with someone who isn't really there?

Summary
"After his first encounter with him, there are two things Xiao Zhan is certain of; one, Wang Yibo definitely is a menace. And two… he’s unfortunately also very compelling."
Xiao Zhan is the most popular boy in school; he's student council president, has perfect grades, is in choir and the arts club.
When Wang Yibo transfers to his school a grade below him, his popularity is swift to rival his own - though he is excelling in the sports department instead.
Once Xiao Zhan is tasked with helping new boy Yibo to keep up with his studies, he finds it harder and harder to keep himself from gravitating to him.Bookmarked by reading_magpie

Summary
He raises his head up at the drinks menu and that's when the guy behind the counter turns around and greets them both with a smile.
Oh.
Yibo is aware that he's staring, but he just. Can't stop. The guy is tall--taller than Yibo--with long hair tied loosely into a bun. Soft bangs cover his forehead, with longer tendrils framing the most beautiful face Yibo has ever seen on a human person. And Yibo has met a lot of beautiful human people.

Summary
[Rien ne va plus: "All bets are off / the stakes are set"]
When does years of pretending get too much to bear? When does it start to effect a friendship? And what happens if you slip before you get the chance to talk about it?
When Yibo begins noticing cracks forming on his friendship with Xiao Zhan, he knows it must be because they are not being honest with each other. It's definitely not the lack of love, because there is a little bit too much of that, enough to lead to a slip. Terrified of losing even what he does have of him, Yibo takes a risk and jumps. Now the only question is: will Xiao Zhan take the plunge with him, or will he lose him for good?

Summary
desiderium (noun): an ardent desire or longing
"It feels like his whole body is filled with jittery, nervous energy; the tension that likely only he is experiencing running so high in the air between them that his skin feels like it’s buzzing with electricity. Xiao Zhan referred to himself as the band’s energy generator earlier, which might have not been so far off, because now that he’s being exposed to this, Yibo feels like if someone plugged Him into a socket, he’d likely be able to supply electricity for this whole studio – for several days to come."
The story of what feels like two stars crossing paths in the night sky, then trying to find a way to shine together without accidentally putting the other's light out. Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo, from their first meeting to their present.
