    Summary

    He lifted his gaze, meeting the dark obsidian eye staring back at him. The man before him was striking, handsome in a way that caught Xie Lian off guard. Long inky black hair fell around his face in a slightly messy wolfcut, the uneven layers softening the sharpness of his features. A single red coral pearl earring hung from his right ear, vivid against the dark strands, while a white bandage eyepatch rested over his right eye.

    The man flashed a devilish grin, catching Xie Lian completely off guard. His gaze lingered before he could stop it, tracing over the sharp lines of the man’s face, the flash of perfect teeth behind that grin, and the sliver of bare skin visible where his shirt had fallen open while bent over.

    Xie Lian moved to speak, only to realize the steamed bun was still caught between his lips.

    OR: Third-year undergraduate student, Xie Lian, expects his first peer tutoring shift for Ancient Literature to be uneventful, until he meets a strangely bold first-year named Hua Cheng on the way to class. Despite having only just met, Hua Cheng speaks to him with the familiarity of someone he's known for years.

    Summary

    Xie Lian has spent long enough around sirens to have some grasp of their communication, and some of it is even a little similar to mer noises. This sound, for example, is like the one podmates use to call for each other—curious, beckoning. He suspects it means much the same thing for sirens. Has this siren lost someone, maybe?

    Hopefully it will find its lost someone soon, so Xie Lian can go back to sleep.

    Then, because nothing good can ever happen to Xie Lian, the siren peeks beneath the overhang. It hangs its head over the jut of stone, its hair billowing like a crown of ink and the yellow sclera of its eye bright against the black. That singular eye catches on his, its pupil dilating, and Xie Lian stiffens.

    Summary

    So Shen Yuan, after considering all the other terrible transmigration options, doesn't think the place she's in is bad. Yes, well, she wasn't a woman before, but now she is. There's nothing to be done about it. In PIDW, being a man means being a petty villain or cannon fodder. Shen Yuan has transmigrated not just into a beautiful woman in a stallion novel, but into a wife!
    However, after some time in the palace, there was one thing Shen Yuan hadn't considered that she would have to deal with.
    The Heavenly Pillar.

    ...Shen Yuan transmigrates into a wife. Becoming Emperor Luo Binghe's favorite, however, might involve more than just being a wife.

    Summary

    As much as Xie Lian’s heart wants to pound an unsteady beat, he forces it to calm. Still waters across which he can watch his life float by—and not only his life.

    “You’re alright,” Hua Cheng murmurs, and Xie Lian’s eyes flutter open to catch his smile as the last few seconds tick by.

    “Neural handshake: initiated.”

    His breath stills in his lungs, plunged beneath that smooth surface into the murk and grit of his past.
