    Summary

    Hua Cheng is a successful idol, reaching his ten year anniversary. In an interview, the inevitable question of his partner's brought up, and while everyone expects him to repeat the usual script, this time he doesn't.

    “I’m married,” he says, a ripple of audible gasps from beyond the cameras. “There’s already someone at home.”

    “This–this…”

    “I owe everything to them. And so, I want to say it today. Crimson Rain is off the table everyone. It’s time I embrace my beloved back, with all the same love and gratitude.”

    Unfortunately, Hua Cheng forgets one detail: perhaps he should have told this to his beloved first.

    (Or: Hua Cheng confesses in the most roundabout way possible, Xie Lian's confused and jealous, and in between all of this is Yin Yu's braincell saving the day.)

    Summary

    After waking up in Puqi Shrine, Xie Lian finds everything to have changed overnight with no explanation. His cursed shackles are missing, his cultivation seemingly gone, a ring around his neck and two brothers who are as enigmatic as they are striking. Despite all known reason, his heart moves.

    Not just for one. But both of them.

    (Or; hualian experimenting something new with their memory-eating monster.)

    Summary

    Xie Lian is an incubus who wants nothing more than to be human. Haunted by a tragedy that nearly destroyed him a decade ago, he’s sworn off feeding, craving only solitude and silence—except for the voice of one singer, Crimson Rain Sought Flower, whose music stirs something deep and unspoken inside him.

    Out of options and desperate for stability, Xie Lian takes a job at The Gambler’s Den, a club veiled in secrets and whispers, known for sheltering the supernatural and the damned. Its enigmatic owner, Hua Cheng, is a man of many faces and even more secrets. No one knows which one is real—but he sees Xie Lian, and he’s decided he won’t let him slip away.

    Or, the one where an incubus dances to forget, and a devil watches to remember.

    Summary

    Then, cautiously, he asks, “You want me… to be your date?”

    Hua Cheng’s lips pick up. “Mm… no.” He stops fiddling with his braid and leans in closer, knuckles brushing the underside of He Xuan’s chin. He tits his head up like he’s assessing a product.

    He Xuan’s breath catches, his fists clench.

    “Not a date,” he murmurs, “A pet.”
