    Summary

    Lord Liu thought he'd seen it all; his life was as peaceful as a cat napping in the sun, or at least as peaceful as life in the capital could be. But he never imagined he'd be caught in a situation this wild. Now he found himself entangled in a perplexing predicament, completely unaware of what was unfolding around him.

    Summary

    Yuanzhi considered him, weighed the variables – let the black silk of Shangjue’s robe slide slightly off his shoulder - and in a tone he practically never used on Ziyu, said: “Ziyu…gege.”

    It was not a purr. It was not even loud. It was simply soft, a word dressed without its usual armor, offered like tea in cupped hands.

    Yuanzhi looked up, tilted his head, wide-eyed with a calculation so naked it became endearing by accident. “Please?”

    Ziyu’s mind misfired.

    Yuanzhi figures out he’s wanted and immediately weaponizes it: robe theft, throne theft, and “gege” privileges on cooldown.

    Summary

    Yuanzhi frowns up at him, his familiar face set in something approaching a pout. Gong Shangjue cannot, under any circumstances, let him know that there's something wrong; he feels all loose and out of control, dangerously unguarded. He's not safe like this. It's not safe. He can't protect Yuanzhi from anything: his cousins, Wufeng, the machinations of the compound. Himself.

    They let some of their biggest truths sit unspoken between them. It was a kind of a game or an act of trust. I know who you are. And every time he came through for her, each leap of faith that paid off with interest, each time she raised her eyes to his and found them watching her -- assessing, caressing, surprised, knowing, wanting -- she found it harder and harder to wait the few short weeks to their wedding night.

    “They say I’ll need an alpha.”

    Minoru chokes on his rice ball so loudly it draws the attention of passerbys in the park. “An alpha?”

    Yutaka nods, inching further back on the bench. “Sorry,” he says. “It seems I’ve been reckless. My dosage of suppressants is too high. Was too high. If I don’t come off of them, they say I could…It could be bad.”

    Minoru doesn't say anything for a stretch of time but when he does, his voice is strained and his eyes are everywhere and nowhere: "So, an alpha, then?"

    Or, the one in which Yutaka is touch-starved and needs an alpha in order to balance out his hormones, and Minoru can't help volunteering.

    Summary

    At first, it was subtle; a buzzing sound, ominous but distant. Then the sound rumbled louder, closer, and urgent. But before anyone could react, the floor lurched sideways, a sound like metal tearing through bone. The world tilted; the table slid; reports became a storm of white paper.

    A shadow crossed his vision, Shen Wenlang’s arm pulled him down, and then the ceiling gave way.

    Shen Wenlang gets injured and loses six years of his memories.

    4.5/5 Very well written and satisfying, though I probably won't re-read it like some of the author's other works, hence the 4.5/5. Nothing is wrong with it, just more domesticity and focus on pregnancy in the last third than my attention span can enjoy more than once.

    “Have you heard of the Cherry Magic curse?” he asked.

    Hua Yong blinked once. Then twice. Then he burst into uncontrollable laughter, a mocking, grating sound that made Shen Wenlang instantly regret speaking. “Are you seriously scared of the virgin curse?”

    Shen Wenlang’s jaw clenched. “It is not the virgin curse—”

    “It is literally the virgin curse,” Hua Yong cackled, positively glowing with delight at his suffering.

    An AU where Shen Wenlang turns thirty and is hit by the -Virgin Curse- Cherry Magic curse.

    When Gao Tu straightened again, the patch was gone, hidden beneath crisp fabric and impeccable posture, as if it had never existed.

    The pieces slid into place with brutal efficiency. The suppressant patch. The secrecy. The carefully maintained distance. The Omega partner Gao Tu referenced whenever heat leave came up.

    Gao Tu was not a beta. Gao Tu was... an Alpha?!

The characters were so on-point, and so many moments had me laughing outloud or gleefully giggling. You balanced everything well with high-tension and heart-cleanching moments too. Thank you so much for writing this and sharing it with the world. Bravo"

    When Gao Tu gasps, opening his mouth wider, Wenlang takes the opportunity to push his thumb into Gao Tu's mouth, to touch the soft wet of his tongue.

    Or, what if in ep. 9 Wenlang was quicker to go after Gao Tu and knows it's him from the start?

    He couldn’t scrub the feeling off, no matter how hard he tried. Sleep came slow, and when it did, it brought too much with it—memories, wishes, things that felt almost real.

    At first, he ran from the dreams. Then he started chasing them. A voice. A touch. A life that never happened, but felt like it had.

    The days grew quiet. The nights louder.
    And he stopped trying to come back.
