    Summary

    It didn't take long after the events of the Sanctuary for Subaru to find himself unable to fall asleep. Things between him and his contracted spirit were going well, but as unfortunate as it was, the adorable spirit didn't have a magic spell to cure insomnia.

    The exhaustion and struggles born from the lack of sleep, along with the shame of bothering everyone else with it, made him choose a way out he normally wouldn't have ever considered.

    Peaceful nights is all he asks for, I suppose!

    Summary

    Cheng Xiaoshi went wherever life took him. The more active he tried to be, the more he just messed things up for himself, and so he was forced into a passive role. Always following orders, always following what his parents told him, always following what his teachers thought was best for him.

    That's why, for the past three years, Xiaoshi’s life had consisted of attending highschool, studying in the library, getting tutored until dinnertime, eating, and passing out. Day by day. Three years long.

    Well, he’d managed to get into the most prestigious university…in Bridon.

    Eight thousand kilometres away from Guidu, and he barely spoke the language. Yet he had to complete a nursing degree in English.

    [Xiaoshi just left China for the first time in his life to study four years abroad. Feeling completely isolated, he's more than ecstatic to find Lu Guang, another Chinese person living in Bridon. Over the years, they prove to be inseparable and seem to be the only two to really find comfort in each other]

    Summary

    Meanwhile, Lu Guang can feel his own boundaries slipping despite his better judgement. And is busy angsting, but hey, what's new, really?

    There's quite a plot twist in this, actually.

    Summary

    It started when Subaru was telling Beatrice a bedtime story he concocted in the back of his mind. Beatrice though captivated his stories keeps on interrupting him to grill him on the inconsistency. Like why is the colour of the cloak red now when it used to be black. Subaru tired of being corrected had simply elected to write down the story to keep the details consistent. Eh, would probably help in becoming fluent in this world's writing system.

    It would have been fine and dandy if Otto didn't barge in clutching his notes, blabbering about how brilliant his stories are and why he should publish them. Subaru had humoured him then not really believing that his book would sell while making fun of Otto's previous record at predicting market values.

    Turns out Otto hit the jackpot this time and Subaru's story ended up becoming a hit.

    His friends and acquaintances becoming his avid reader much to his embarrassment.
