    Summary

    Xie Lian is an archaeology grad student, who returns to school after a three-year leave of absence.

    A new roommate, as well as an old pen pal, help Xie Lian reacclimatize to grad school, and Xie Lian begins to struggle with his feelings for both of them.

    Over time, Xie Lian also learns that his memories of what happened three years ago might not be the entire story.

    (I was like, hey, what if HOB met You’ve Got Mail, but it was an academia AU and Xie Lian was an archaeologist)

    Summary

    “Xie Lian!” His aunt pressed her face against the bars, her eyes wide with fear. “Do not offer anything else! Beg forgiveness and ask to leave!”

    He clenched his fists against his thighs. Forgive me, he pleaded silently.

    “My freedom for hers,” Xie Lian whispered.

    The vampire smiled the widest he’d seen yet, his teeth gleaming in the light of the night pearl. “We have a deal.”

    Summary

    “I swear on my life I am not here to hurt you,” came the voice again.

    Silence.

    Xie Lian slowly poked his small ferret head out of the leaf pile.

    “Why are you giving me free eggs?” he asked suspiciously, one of the leaves now balanced on his head like a bamboo hat.

    It is forbidden to ask what a person turns into at night.

    By day, they remain human. When the sun sets: an animal form, unique to each person. Day and night are separate worlds and separate lives. It is the greatest, most unbreakable taboo to know a person’s nightform. And even more dangerous for Xie Lian, as he is cursed.

    But one night in the forest, he meets a fox. A very powerful fox, who seems hell bent on protecting him at all costs. And the very next day, he meets a man calling himself San Lang.

    “Oh,” he exhales. “You’re not in love with me anymore.”

    Hua Cheng seems to come to perfect stillness, somehow, improbably more so than he was before.

    “I never was.”

    --
    A year after Jun Wu is defeated, Xie Lian sees the light of three thousand lanterns in the sky, and his heart rejoices. Hua Cheng is back! Only instead of running into Xie Lian's arms, he breaks up with him. Xie Lian is devastated, but that is only the beginning...
