    Summary

    “Your Highness,” Xie Lian begins, letting his voice become soft and kind in a way that feels much too forced. He slides his hands across the table and grabs onto Lang Qianqiu—his grip is quick and tight, but not so much that it’s taken as a threat. The prince is still staring back at him, lip trembling like a child who isn’t sure whether to yell or cry. “Your Highness,” Xie Lian repeats, “All you have to do, to end all of this, is kill me.”

    Lang Qianqiu’s brows furrow. “What?”

    “Kill me,” Xie Lian repeats, and smiles behind the veil. His eyes crinkle, turning into half crescents. “Once you do that, you can move on.”

    After the Gilded Banquet Massacre, Xie Lian is imprisoned by his former student. Lang Qianqiu wants answers. Xie Lian wants Lang Qianqiu to 'kill' him already so he can find a nice, new, different country to struggle in.

    Summary

    “Victor, you could have let some psychopath into your apartment.”

    “Oh come on, he’s not a psychopath,” Victor chides. Christophe makes a gesture with his hand that says ‘are you seriously this naïve or are you drunk at work again?’.

    “Victor, you don’t know that. You don’t know anything about him. Whose name am I going to give to the police or face I’m going to describe to the sketch artist when they find your body chopped up like Hannibal Lecter’s side dish?”

    --

    in which Victor and Yuuri are roommates and Yuuri has a secret

    Summary

    “Mu-shidi,” Yue Qingyuan speaks up, taking his seat at the head of the table. “Have you heard of this curse?”

    “I’m afraid not,” Mu Qingfang says, shaking his head. “A curse of compulsion, with dire consequences for disobedience… I’ve heard of many similar things, but not exactly this.”

    “For all we know, the perpetrator invented this little trap just for us,” Shen Qinqiu says, tapping his fan dangerously. “Tailormade to ruin us.”

    “I have no secrets to hide,” Liu Qingge says, and lifts his chin challengingly at Shen Qingqiu, who bristles in return. “Do you?”

    “Ah, Liu-shidi, if you don’t have any secrets then you should get some real quick!” Shang Qinghua says with bright, manic cheer, his smile and his eyes a little too wide. “The consequences for not meeting the curse’s requirements would be very very bad!”

    -

    The Peak Lords of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect are stricken with a curse that forces them to reveal a secret, and they all must submit to this curse or suffer the consequences...

    Yue Qingyuan wishes he were anywhere but here.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?
