After settling in Longcheng, the cold weather that sets in reminds Shen Wei and Wu Xie of how they once breathed together. And maybe it promises them that they will still be there when time passes, appreciating what they never wish they had let go.

In the bleak industrial wastelands of Dixing, a mother poisons herself and her twin sons in an attempt to escape the collective abject misery and poverty that envelopes their existence.

A decade later, an undergraduate senior proceeds with a sensitive research topic for his honors thesis.

Son of Haixing housing mafia's boss, seeking redemption from a painful past, with his estrangement from his family spawning feelings of self-loathing, finds himself irrevocably, devastatingly drawn towards the person that threatens to topple his life as he has always known it.

With Ye Zun's face bare, there's only one reason why someone would recognise him.

Or, Ye Zun is caught attempting to steal the Hallows from the Alliance. It changes things.

"Well, aren't you going to do something?" Zhao Yunlan asks, with a teasing leer.

Shen Wei huffs and tells him, "I'm admiring you, Zhao Yunlan. You're quite amazing."

It makes Zhao Yunlan's expression soften into a warm smile for a moment, before he declares, "Of course I am. But if you're just going to look at me—"

Zhao Yunlan has to wrap his arms around Shen Wei's brother to keep him from running to Shen Wei. For someone who'd apparently hated Shen Wei up until a handful of moments ago, he sure is desperate to join him now.

Shen Wei is caught in the rain. It ends well.

Keep moving...

Keep going...

You have to keep...

He stumbled, foot sliding on the rocky ground. Searing pain turned his vision white for a moment before returning to the blurry mess from before. A hiss escaping his lips. A firm, yet gentle arm tightened it's hold on his waist. It was the only thing keeping him upright at this point.
“Xiao Wei?”

In the distant future, a university student receives an unusual gift: An antique lamp, of a type not manufactured in centuries.

That’s when the dreams begin.

Zhao Yunlan returns late from work one cold evening to find Shen Wei knitting him a gift, taking this new development in his stride - Captain Zhao seeks an escape in the means of finding the answer to solving a cold case that has resurfaced and fallen at this investigation team's door.

“Wait,” Guo Changcheng interrupts Zhao Yunlan mid-flow. “When you say they’re kidnapping ‘inexperienced and sheltered young people’, you mean…?”

“Yes,” Zhao Yunlan says. And now, at last, he looks at least a little uncomfortable. “I mean sexually inexperienced.”

“Virgins,” Guo Changcheng says and then the penny finally drops. “You think I’m a…?”

“Well…” Chief Zhao rubs the back of his neck awkwardly. “Aren’t you?”

[Spoiler: He is not. But turns out someone else is.]

“We’re asking you out,” says Guo Changcheng. “Or—well, asking you in. If you want to.”

"Sit on my face," Zhao Yunlan repeats like that's an entirely reasonable thing to ask when they're both naked and kissing. It would perhaps be even less appropriate in any other setting, Shen Wei concedes quietly to himself.
