    Summary

    Mu Qing has spent centuries convincing everyone—including himself—that he doesn’t need anyone.

    He is perfectly capable of carrying his burdens alone. Perfectly capable of hiding his exhaustion behind sharp words and his pain behind anger. Perfectly capable of smiling and saying I’m fine when he is anything but.

    But Xie Lian, Feng Xin, and Hua Cheng are beginning to notice the cracks.

    When Mu Qing’s self-hatred and suicidal thoughts finally become too much to hide, the three men he never expected to stay refuse to let him disappear into the darkness alone.

    Healing isn’t quick, and love can’t erase years of pain overnight. But perhaps Mu Qing doesn’t need to be fixed.

    Perhaps he only needs someone to remind him that he is worth staying for.

    And, for the first time, Mu Qing begins to believe them.

    Or: Mu Qing thinks he is unlovable. Xie Lian, Feng Xin, and Hua Cheng strongly disagree.
