Summary
Soulmates are real. “The proof of it lives in their very skin. The truth of it is enshrined in stories. It is carved into the Wall of Discipline. It is. It simply is.”
Once, Lan Sizhui believed that too. But Jingyi’s soulmate is dead. Zizhen’s soulmate is a ghost. Sizhui is in love and fate has nothing to do with it. He has been a victim of fate since his childhood, and he’s tired of it. When fate drops his soulmate in his lap, Sizhui has to choose: his heart or fate? And try not to hurt his friends on the way.
The juniors grapple with love, loss, and questions of fate.

Summary
Jin Chan insults Lan Sizhui, and Lan Jingyi stands up for him. Jin Chan gets a broken arm, and Jingyi gets too many thoughts about his feelings for Sizhui. Finally, he realizes that Sizhui might just be in love with him too.
“I love him,” Jingyi repeats, and it’s like breaking a dam because the rest of the words pour over his tongue unbidden. “I love him so much it scares me. I love him so much I would kill for him without thinking twice about it, and that terrifies me.”

Summary
Jin Ling likes his clothing so covered in straps and chains and flowing scarves that he’s 90% dangly bits by volume. And then there’s his hair.
It’s really not Jingyi’s fault that he wants to tie him to things.
It’s definitely not Jingyi’s fault that Jin Ling gets so prettily flustered when he’s tied to things.
It might be Sizhui’s fault that it went this far.
