    Summary

    “My name is Yue Qingyuan,” he says, as if Shen Jiu is someone to be introduced to. His gaze on Shen Jiu is - intent, almost frighteningly so. Unblinking. “Are you really a servant here? Or a slave?”

    “Ah - I believe I can find that out for you--” Lord Xu is saying, already waving over his head servant, and Shen Jiu is so irritated that the man just seems to assume that Shen Jiu can’t answer for himself like he’s a dog or some other beast that he speaks up.

    “A slave,” he answers, and Yue Qingyuan nods as if this isn’t surprising.

    Then he turns towards Lord Xu and he says, “I will buy him.”

    -

    A rich and powerful cultivator meets a slave with nothing to his name, and decides to buy him on the spot. Why?

    Summary

    (you grow, even amongst the flames)

    The holder of these eyes raises one hand to pause them in their motions, seemingly uncaring around the fingers pressing down on his throat, the nails that cut into the delicate skin.

    “I’ll kill you,” she promises, her breath heaving. She’s braced over him, her dark hair curtaining them both like hiding them from the sight of others, as if the universe has granted them this moment. Wen Xichen smiles up at her, his gaze alit with affection.

    “I shall make you mine,” he vows in return, surging upwards and pushing her backwards. He pins her to the ground, yet it lacks any harshness, his hand braced behind her head to make sure she doesn’t collide roughly with the pavement.

    Summary

    “No one can be allowed to know,” Shen Qingqiu decrees. The clear, distinct way he speaks - like cracking a whip, Yue Qingyuan had once heard it described, and hadn’t been able to quite disagree although he had found it to be a touch harsh of a metaphor - sounds odd and a little disorienting, cloaked in his own voice. Yue Qingyuan’s voice.

    -

    Shen Qingqiu and Yue Qingyuan wake up in each other's bodies. They handle it poorly.
