Summary
Xie Lian is a talented aerial silk performer but he has been plagued with misfortune since an accident befell his best friend - an accident he's responsible for. His life gets turned on its head when he saves someone from an assassination attempt in the park, not knowing this mysterious stranger is in fact The Crimson Rain Sought Flower, Hua Cheng, a man feared across the city of Dynasty for his ruthless nature and dark past. Hua Cheng feels indebted to him but feeling as though he did nothing to be worthy of gratitude, Xie Lian refuses his offer to repay him - not having any idea of the persistence of this handsome man he knows only as San Lang, or his power.
Or: Xie Lian becomes the object of affection to the most powerful man in the city.

Yu-ayi’s right. He really is going to choose me, she thinks. Oh, no. Oh, good Heavens, no!

Summary
“This is what you heard?”
Qin Su has never seen Lan Xichen lose his composure before. The corners of his eyes are scarlet, and his face is whiter than the snowy collar of his gown; and if the two of them were not seated, Qin Su suspects that he would have collapsed on the spot.
She takes another sip of tea. “That is what he said.”
Lan Xichen looks at her in desperation. “But—”
“Do you think I would mistake the voice of my intended?” she asks quietly. “I heard him speaking with one of your former disciples—Su Minshan, I think. My child will be allowed only two or three years; though A-Yao said that he would reconsider if it learns to talk before its first birthday, as he did.”
At the other end of the table, Zewu-jun makes another sound of anguish.
(In which Lan Xichen hosts a hundred-day feast and a wedding, and Qin Su and Jin Rusong are spared by a timely stroke of luck.)

Summary
How does a slave from the stables end up being shipped off to a neighboring country as a gift to warm the bed of the crown prince? Well, Hua Cheng wasn't actually in the room at the time but, judging by everything he's put together and what Yin Yu has told him, it goes something like this.
1 The King of Yong’an wants to conquer Xianle.
2 The King doesn't want Xianle to know that yet so that he can take them by surprise.
3 To bring this about the King wants a spy deep enough in Xianle’s royal court that they can learn the royal family’s most intimate and military secrets, and who could be better positioned to do that than a concubine?
So 4 the King of Yong’an tells his inner counsel that the first step in his invasion plan is to give the crown prince a concubine.
Or Hua Cheng is given to the crown prince of Xianle as a concubine with the job of seducing him in order to spy on him for the neighboring kingdom of Yong'an, but when real feelings get involved things get ...complicated

Summary
Though the loss of its master was disastrous enough, the first true sign that all was not well at the Jinlintai came a fortnight after Jin Guangyao’s death.
“They say that Jin-furen refuses to wear mourning,” Nie Huaisang said to Lan Xichen, when he visited Gusu in the wake of Jin Guangyao’s funeral. “What if—what if something’s wrong, Xichen-gege? She was devoted to San-ge, so why would she…”
This was so far beyond belief that Lan Xichen dismissed Huaisang’s report at once. But he wrote to Qin Su that evening, asking her if all was well; and though he visited the mail-office nearly every day during the week that followed, he received no reply.
In which something is rotten at the heart of Lanling, and Lan Xichen attempts—and fails—to discover what it might be.

Summary
Her body twitched uncontrollably against his as she could only stare in shock at the other brats lying lifeless with eyes wide open, reddening the ground below them. Their sensei, in a desperate attempt to save her, had just given him his much-needed advantage.
The moment his blade made contact with the man's wrist, he knew he had struck well. The soft flesh felt like air beneath his sword, cutting through muscle, veins, soft tissue and even bones without the slightest bit resistance. The large blade gleamed brighter as warm blood flowed over it.Bookmarked by PickyMagpie

Summary
Kiryu just got out of jail; trying to re-enter society, find a paying job and learn how cell phones work should have been enough on his plate. Instead, on top of all those things he's also trying desperately to pick apart a ten-year knot of Tojo Clan politics before it kills him, keep a little kid safe and fed, relearn how to defend himself, and figure out what happened to Yumi. He simply doesn't have the capacity to also try and understand what the hell is going on between him and Majima.
Majima seems happy to help him out, though. With several of those things. Not that Kiryu asked.

It's All About the Bit by LerxstInSpace

Summary
It's a long story but here's the quick and dirty version: they have to convince pretty much the whole-ass Kamurocho criminal underworld they're in love and other than two very specific people nobody, absolutely fucking nobody, can know it’s just a bit till the job is done.
You want the long version, including the part where this whole dumb stunt was Majima’s idea? Kiryu kind of insists that it be made real nice and clear that this was, in fact, Majima’s stupid idea and he just went along with it because he didn’t know what the hell else to try. Which, y’know. Fair enough.
[In which Majima and Kiryu pretend to be a Thing for family business reasons. With these two, this is easier said than done.]

Summary
Sesshōmaru doesn’t like change. He doesn’t like being lied to. And he certainly doesn’t like watching competent people get replaced by nepotistic fools.
So when Kagome’s “replacement” fumbles a critical client question, Sesshōmaru schedules an emergency call. And when he confirms she’s being removed, he deems it a threat to business continuity—and makes her his next acquisition target. His proposal is simple: leave the company that failed to keep her. Come work directly for him. If not in business, then…other capacities.- Language:
