Summary
Facing the yearly friends' trip alongside his ex's new partner, Jimin's options are slim:
1) Being a mature adult who basks in others' bliss.
2) Asking a random stranger on a dating app for help.
Okay, in hindsight, the first one might have been the smarter move.or,
Yeah, he definitely should have swiped left.

Summary
Six years after the infection tore through the world and left something feral in its wake, life has narrowed to the stretch of farmland Park Jimin protects, and the handful of lives still breathing inside its fence. Once special forces, now one of the settlement’s leaders, he has rebuilt himself around discipline and distance, convinced that attachment is a weakness and mercy is a mistake he cannot afford to make.
On a supply run in the ruins of the city, they find Jeon Jeongguk fighting like he has nothing left to lose, and against Jimin’s better judgment, they bring him back to the farm. Later, beneath lantern light and stripped cloth, they find the bite. But whatever altered Jeongguk did not end with infection, and the past he left behind has begun to stir.
Jeongguk should be a liability, and Jimin treats him like one. What he doesn’t anticipate is the way the alpha refuses to crumble—slowly eroding Jimin’s resolve instead. As time passes and the threats around them begin to shift, Jimin is forced to confront the one thing he has tried to avoid since Day Zero:
The cost of letting someone get too close.

Summary
“A-Cheng. Where is your brother?”
Jiang Cheng leaned closer and, through gritted teeth, whispered, “Out, ba.”
The emperor blinked, a complicated expression washing over his face before it settled into a forced smile as he turned back to his guests. Lan Wangji chanced a glance at the empress, just to see the fire burning in her displeased eyes. Unlike the emperor, she did not try to hide it.
The emperor exhaled a chuckle before he said, “Apologies, old friend. It seems I will have to ask you for one more favor.”
“Do not worry, your highness,” Lan Qiren said. “I will have my nephew, Wangji, bring your son home safely immediately.”
“Even if you have to drag him back crying and screaming,” the empress said, words spat out with unrestrained anger, “you get that boy home immediately.”
After Wen Ruohan makes a direct threat against the emperor, the knights of Gusu Lan are summoned to bring the princes and princess to safety at Lotus Pier. They manage to make it to their destination without a scratch, but it does not take long before trouble finds them anyway—and Lan Wangji must make a choice.

Summary
Park Jimin is prince of a cursed land, his kingdom frozen in eternal winter for generations. But there’s hope: an ancient prophecy speaks of one of the godstouched, great witches favored by the gods who are said to have the power to break even the bleakest of curses.
Jeon Jungkook is a witch of no particular skill or talent, but what he lacks in power he makes up for in stubborn determination. Together, they just might save the kingdom—if the secrets they're keeping don't undo everything they strive to fix.
