    Summary

    “You don’t even count as human, and you still want to become an immortal? You’ve missed the optimal time to begin cultivating – what can you become? Even if you muddle along with him, that charlatan Wu Yanzi, he isn’t even guaranteed to want you.”

    Shen Jiu growled, wrenching out of Qiu Jianluo’s grip to hurl an ink stone at him. He missed.

    Shen Jiu saw the change in Qiu Jianluo’s face instantly, the man’s hand rising up and blocking out the glow of candlelight. His towering shadow was Qiong Qi given flesh.

    Shen Jiu’s body froze instinctively as he readied himself for a blow.

    But it never came, because when Shen Jiu managed to look up, all he could see was a man’s broad back swathed in black robes, his grip tight around Qiu Jianluo’s wrist.

    “Qiu-gongzi, what could ever make you think that a charlatan like me wouldn’t want this boy as his disciple?”

    Or: Shen Yuan transmigrates into Wu Yanzi’s body and gets followed around by a feral teenager called Shen Jiu… who is kind of obsessed with him.

    Summary

    “Would the honorable Mobei-Jun agree?”

    “WHAT!?”

    There’s a loud crash, and everyone’s attention instantly flicks over to Shang Qinghua standing off the side. He seems to have dropped some large platter of something - he should not be doing something so lowly as serving things, he’s not a servant any longer. But it is very typical of him to mindlessly reach out and start doing whatever unfinished tasks he sees before him, grumbling all the while as if someone is forcing him into it. Right now, he looks gobsmacked. Pale and wide eyed and gaping in shock, looking shaken to his core.

    “Marriage!?” Shang Qinghua demands, his voice high and strangled.

    -

    Several misunderstandings happen in a row.

    If a starving man, accustomed to ignoring the feasting around him, had suddenly thrust into his hand a perfect apple, of course he would eat it.

    Summary

    Laurence had been at first bemused by Tharkay’s quiet vanity towards his hair and then later nearly transfixed by it.

    Laurence and Tharkay, and the ways in which they allow themselves to touch.

    Summary

    It all started because Laurence had come into the sitting room when Granby was visiting Tharkay’s estate, mildly cross and holding Tharkay’s greatcoat, which was rumpled from lying in a damp heap in the entryway for two whole days before Laurence noticed it. He had entered the room while shaking it out and folding it, as such a fine piece of clothing deserved, and saying something chiding, along the lines of, “Tenzing, did you never learn you must care for your things if you wish for them to last--?”

    “Ah,” Tharkay said, slouching in his practiced way and tilting his sly smile at Granby, “here’s the missus.”
