    Summary

    With a heavy sigh, Kaveh buried his face in his pillow. All of his romantic ideals, as usual, were quashed by the one man he actually yearned for such affections from - a marriage for the sake of fucking tax deductions.

    Though it made sense in a cold, rational way, such a logical and disinterested proposal for Kaveh to willingly sacrifice his heart for nothing more than mora cut deep into his chest. And worst of all... Alhaitham was unaware that Kaveh’s heart could never even belong to anyone but him - that he was already the sole benefactor of Kaveh’s silent longing, having stolen Kaveh’s heart against his will long ago.

    Kaveh curled around his pillow as if the soft cotton of his pillowcase could offer a reprieve from the turmoil churning deep in his stomach. He’d long since made peace with his unrequited love for Alhaitham, resigning himself to a lifetime of suppressed yearning - but this? This was torture, plain and simple, demanding mental gymnastics that Kaveh wasn’t confident he was flexible enough to contort himself into.

    Summary

    Xie Lian hadn’t given up. “It’s alright, though! We’ll just have to find something else for you to be worshipped for!”

    Mu Qing looked at Xie Lian quizzically. “Something else?”

    “Just like how Feng Xin became the God of Pleasure by a misunderstanding, you could also find a secondary domain of worship! Something that ghosts need or want...”

    “Like what?”

    Xie Lian cleared his throat lightly before he suggested, “How about becoming a God of Style?”

    After losing one too many spars, Mu Qing finds out that—due to new worshippers of Ju Yang in Ghost City—Feng Xin's divine power had become ever-so-slightly stronger than Mu Qing's. Mu Qing's solution? Build a following in Ghost City, too: bigger and better than Feng Xin's. The issue? Ghosts don't care for martial arts or war at all! Mu Qing would have to find something else to be worshipped for.

    Thus begins Mu Qing's life as Xuan Zhen: the God of Beauty.

    Feng Xin thinks he might die.

    Summary

    The Great Hall of the Xianle Royal Palace is a magnificent place.

    It’s massive. Absolutely enormous in width and stature, bolstering towering pillars and large stone steps that frame the nation’s greatest treasures: the ruling emperor and empress of the kingdom, Their Majesties Hua Cheng and Xie Lian.

    In any other circumstance, Feng Xin’s undivided attention would be on them. He’d cling on to their every movement like greedy merchants do gold, but today, things are different. Today, Feng Xin’s twin sister stands beside him; body bowed, arms raised, speaking.

    “Your Majesties,” she pleads. Feng Xin hates how earnest it is. “My brother has gone three decades of of living without a lover now. I beg of you - arrange a match for him."
    °•*⁀➷
    Or; Even at the age of thirty, Alpha General Feng Xin shows no sign of wanting to take a mate. A run in with a certain omega during a campaign changes that.
