    Summary

    Xie Lian has had a rough decade, and now, having been given access to his high school reunion group chat he sees them share a meme, one poking fun at something he hand carved and was attempting to sell on his Etsy. Little does he know, this meme will (via the Shi Qingxuan to He Xuan pipeline) make its way to Hua Cheng, who recognizes the artist immediately not from the craftsmanship (or lack thereof) but the black-handled pocket knife beside it in the picture. One such knife that had once led to his hospitalization and the last time he had seen Xie Lian.

    Could this be the start of a romance between Xie Lian and freelance artist San Lang? Or will Hua Cheng's various hidden identities and Xie Lian's past come back to haunt them?

    Summary

    Have you ever read Book 4 and thought, "Wow, this is really fucking sad. Wouldn't it have been great if things had gone just a little differently?" Do you love Wu Ming and wish there had been more of him in the novel? Are you a fan of pining, slow-burn, and hurt/comfort tropes?

    If so, then this might just be the fic for you~

    Summary

    Xie Lian smiled politely, looking down at the computer screen in front of him. Before even glancing at the next customer, he began to say the practiced greeting. "Good morning. How can I help you today?"

    Upon seeing the customer's face, Xie Lian's stomach sank. Because he didn't see a face at all. The person in front of him wore a dark hood, and their face was obscured by an eerie white smiling mask. It was obvious what was happening. A person would only walk into a bank dressed like that for one reason.

    "I apologise for the disturbance," the stranger said, his voice surprisingly friendly and warm. "I need you to calmly collect as much money as you can and bring it to me without making a scene."

    Summary

    “Look,” Hua Cheng says. “I know there’s still technically, like, a week or two left that we’re supposed to go through, and there’s probably some grand thing I’m supposed to do to announce my decision or whatever. But I’m dying here, can we just, like—cheat? Skip to the good stuff?”
