    Summary

    It’s screaming again. Shen Qingqiu lies unmoving in his bed, just listening to it for a long time. What wretched, heartbroken wails. It only stops for air, brief pauses as it fills up its lungs to screech it all out again, high and piercing. He put it in the sideroom to get it out of his sight, to try and muffle it, but it still feels as if it’s screaming directly into his ear. Not a soul on Qing Jing Peak must be able to rest with such a clamor.

    Eventually, he does get up out of bed. It feels like dragging a corpse, his body aching and unwilling, still half torn apart from what he had gone through weeks ago. A pain so awful that it had felt like violation, torture. Almost nostalgic, really.

    He opens the door to the sideroom, and it does somehow get louder. And there, in the little crib gifted (forced, snuck into his home while he was in labor) to him by Yue Qingyuan, is the infant. Shrieking, its voice ragged with unanswered despair, its little face screwed up hideously. It no longer looks red and shrunken all the time, but crying brings back that appearance.

    It is almost always crying.

    -

    Shen Qingqiu has made a life and he hates it, and hates it, and hates it.

    Summary

    Shen Qiao, a deer hybrid who’d escaped the awful fate of being captured and experimented upon like many of his fellow hybrid shapeshifters, was saved by a wolf hybrid named Yan Wushi after being betrayed by his own kind. When Yan Wushi offered to help him rescue his clansmen from Lin Chuan, an institute infamous for experimenting on hybrids in the name of finding a cure for the virus that’d wiped out the majority of human population several decades ago, Shen Qiao was glad to accept his aid, only to fall deeper into the wolf’s entrapment.
    -
    “Do you regret trusting me?”

    “What’s there to regret about?” Shen Qiao glanced back up at him through forelocks disheveled by the wind, his gaze steady, almost indifferent. “Placing my trust in you is my decision and mine alone. If Yan-langjun decides Shen Qiao is no longer worthy of your time and attention, then so be it. I have never fooled myself into thinking we share the same aspirations in any way.”

    Summary

    Shen Yuan transmigrates as an infant into what is basically just a xanxia remold of his previous life, and meets Luo Binghe while they're both disciples of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect. The only problem: he doesn't realize he's a transmigrator and his memories of Proud Immortal Demon Way have been locked away. Surely that won't cause any problems, though. Surely he can protect the protagonist from his fate and make a better end to the story somehow anyway... right?

    Summary

    Shen Yuan, a Qing Jing researcher with low cultivation and an unhealthy interest in the demonic entities that crawl out of the rift in the abyssal zone of the ocean, gets his hands on an amulet to allow him to personally travel down there to conduct his studies. It gives him an aquatic spiritual form, with fascinating traits to help him survive at the bottom of the sea.

    The problem is that he’s not only being allowed down there for his research. Twenty years ago, the levels of demonic energy emanating from the rift rose and haven’t fallen since. Cang Qiong monitors the coast, certain that there’s a powerful entity down there, lurking, biding its time. If possible, Shen Yuan is meant to find and report on that entity—but the chances of him actually stumbling across it are low enough to basically be zero, right?

    Or: There is a creature at the bottom of the ocean. It takes exception to having its territory crossed over.

    Summary

    “Now that he had hope, Shen Jiu’s voice became fervent. ‘You absolutely have to remember the things you said! You must come back to save me!’

    Qi-ge seemed to be nodding his head hard. ‘All right,’ he said emphatically. ‘Wait for me. Once I finish my training, I’ll definitely come back—then we'll leave together!’”

    --

    “As if testing the waters, Yue Qingyuan said, ‘Xiao-Jiu...’

    ‘Shixiong,’ said Shen Qinggiu, ‘it’s Qingqiu.’”

    --

    Yue Qi, grieving.

    Summary

    Shang Qinghua is a pretty disappointing Alpha. Not only does he look nothing like an Alpha should, but he's also only attracted to other men who are Alphas too. It's all very embarrassing, and his romantic life is a complete disaster. His dating app is barren, without a message in sight, and he hasn't been on a date in years. So, on one lonely night, Shang Qinghua decides to embark on a little experiment—What would life look like if he was an Omega?

    Shang Qinghua only ever intended to keep up this ruse for a short while, but when Shang Qinghua meets Mobei-jun, the Alpha of Alphas, things start to get a bit more serious. Shang Qinghua doesn't know if he can maintain his lie, while also managing his growing feelings, and navigating a budding relationship with the enigmatic Mobei-jun.

    Summary

    With his rut coming on, Shen Yuan knows better than to leave the safety and comfort of his apartment. Still, it is tempting to go out with Luo Binghe, even if he would be tagging along just to keep an eye on his alpha best friend who is absolutely capable of taking care of himself!

    He won't of course! Even if it is difficult to decline Luo Binghe's invitation! So instead Shen Yuan resigns himself to a night spent alone. It's fine! He can handle his rut on his own - he's been doing it for years!

    What Shen Yuan doesn't expect is to hear from Luo Binghe much earlier than the expected "home safe and sound" text...

    Summary

    Around the bend of a great pine tree, there laid a figure. Mostly buried in snow, on their side with barely the side of their face, shoulder, and hip emerging from the snow, with a fine layer falling fresh on top of them. The snow had started falling again, clinging to the ink-black hair that seemed to sprawl off into the darkness like a raven’s spread wings. Their skin was almost as white as the snow itself, but their cheeks were flushed a painful red and their lips near purple. Icicles glinted from their eyelashes.
    An inhale, and an uneven exhale.

     

    Shen Yuan, an expert on all things demonic, monstrous, and spiritual in the realms of creatures, stumbles upon one of the most dagerous kind of demon to roam these mountains. And invites it inside.

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu, his lovely cheeks stained red, carefully takes the mysterious flower from his hands. His eyes sparkle, and Liu Qingge’s breath is punched out of him. Liu Qingge doesn’t know what’s so special about it, but if flowers get that kind of reaction from him, then he would gladly uproot a whole meadow just to see that smile again.

    “I accept.”

    It’s a flower, and nothing more. But Shen Qingqiu looks at him like he’s brought the greatest gift of all.

    Summary

    Shen Yuan is completely obsessed with supernatural creatures, so, when Shang Qinghua invites him to stay for a while in Qing Jing — a city known for its strange phenomena — in search of inspiration for his new novel, Shen Yuan eagerly agrees.

    However, Luo Binghe, the manager of Bamboo Inn, the place where they’re staying, seems to have a peculiar interest in Shen Yuan — an interest that arose the moment Luo Binghe realized this man was the reincarnation of his former master, enemy, and lover.

    Amid suspicious encounters, covered-up murders, and a twisted obsession, Shen Yuan uncovers secrets about Luo Binghe and himself that don’t seem to unsettle him much. All this while staying in that strange inn, which feels oddly familiar and, in a way, like home.

    or: shen yuan is the reincarnation of shen jiu, and luo binghe is utterly obsessed with him — but, apparently, shen yuan likes it. (another day, another freak4freak bingqiu with a happy ending).

    Summary

    For a long moment, Shen Yuan stares into empty space almost sightlessly, trying to understand what the hell is going on.
    Then, the boy finally sits up shakily. His eyes are as dark as pitch black, with a firm gaze that's too hard for a boy his age. His hair is a thick, dark, and dense tangle, escaping from his high ponytail in unruly strands. Despite how wild his hair makes him look, there's a delicate beauty mark under his eye.
    In the center of his forehead, Shen Yuan stares in stupefied horror at a red zuiyin that he knows very well.

    A half-Heavenly Demon child emerges from a dark portal in the middle of Shen Yuan's apartment. Fine, Shen Yuan can handle it. He'll just have to take care of little Luo Chengle, one of Luo Binghe's sons, until his father comes to pick him up. Luo Binghe couldn't possibly take too long to search for his own son, right?
    ...Right?
