BeiTang MinQian:... more>>

He is a world class super model and is the only son and heir to a prestigious aristocratic family.

Because of the pressure as the family’s sole successor, he must face the norms of an expected societal marriage.

Su YuanHeng:

He is a talented neurosurgeon and was an orphan abandoned at an orphanage.

A chance encounter during a surgery led him to fall in love at first sight with the then 14 years old, BeiTang MinQian.

But the childhood trauma of being abandoned by his father had cast a dark shadow in his heart that is impossible to be erased.

These factors caused their ambiguous relationship to be even more unsettled. Before everything even became clear, an even bigger ‘random incident’ unexpectedly occurred —

Facing a relationship that is full of cracks, the ‘fate’ that God bestowed upon them… is it actually deep or shallow?

At night, when Su YuanHeng is lying on the big cold bed by himself, the blistering heated air obstructed his breathing.

He turned on the air conditioner to high. Wrapped in a thin blanket, he tossed and turned in bed. The days without BeiTang MinQian by his side, he thought that he was already used to it. But when this person came back for just one night, his pathetic body still longed for his embrace.

Su YuanHeng slowly closed his eyes and dazily reminisced about his very distant past. His father had once held him in his arms, mumbling tenderly, “Xiao Li, FeiLi…the meaning of this name is ‘never to leave forever.’ You must remember…”

“Remember…”

“Daddy, I remember, but what about you? You still left me…”

Even the person that is by his side, there is going to be that day when he will also leave him … <<less

Of poor background, Jiang Zhe, styled Suiyun, has finally, after ten years of hard work, passed the imperial examinations and become a scholar within Hanlin Academy. Unwittingly, he becomes involved in the succession dispute of the Great Yong Dynasty. He faces conspiracies and machinations and countless battles of strength and wits. Intending to avoid court politics, he ultimately has no choice but to become involved. With no alternative, Jiang Zhe can only follow the crowd, joining the chaotic political turmoil.

This world is inequal.... more>>

Some revel in abundance, sipping wine from their glasses, while others are forced to drink from the murky waters trampled upon time and again. Some are swathed in luxurious furs, while others barely manage to cover themselves in dirty rags.

This world is full of misery.

From the moment they are born, people drown in the sea of inequality. Whether they are born into wealth or poverty, nobility or peasantry, or even into the chains of s*avery, their fate is sealed. The chains of s*avery bind them, forbidding them from ever rising above their station.

This world is cruel.

The joy experienced by some is gained at the expense of others. In the relentless pursuit of limited resources, people become ruthless, they fight, they take, they kill. Survival is but a revolting dance upon the graves of others.

As the madness takes hold, one is left with nothing, they can only devour, violate, and slay.

Truly, this world is a living hell.

And yet, it is within the depths of this darkness that people desperately yearn for a glimmer of light. <<less

Shu Nian who grew up in the orphanage dreamed of becoming a princess since childhood so that a prince will come to rescue him. In the end, the one who came was not a prince but a cranky 「master」 Xie Yan...... more>>

One wants to love him while one doesn't want his love. 「Love」 between these two men, will they be able to achieve a common ground one day? It's not like he never held men before but there are only two words to illustrate this feeling -- very stiff. There's nothing good about it!

Quickly shaking his head to remove the vague idea of 「Xiao Nian seems to be better than girls」 to the outer space. Xie Yan turned pale and went back to the living room. <<less

Midnight. ... more>>

A slow elegiac song enveloped the cold night.

Ye Wenshui stood beneath a flowering tree with his hands clasped behind his back. The light of the moon and stars shone on his clear face, further illuminating his porcelain-like purity.

The sound of heavy military boots came from not too far away as the flowers upon the ground were crushed underfoot. <<less

As part of the imperial family, every move by Chu Yuan in this game of chess is made with apprehension, fearing that with a moment of inattentiveness, the whole match will be lost in a single move.... more>>

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Note (1): Chu Yuan is using the royal ‘we’ here.
