    Summary

    "We are both bound to our own duties. For you to find your sibling, and for me to defend Liyue. And yet you wish for us to be lovers, as if we can discard our duties so easily? What you suggest can only end in tragedy.”

    As Xiao is lulled into the comforts of a mundane life with Lumine, fragments of his past begin to surface. What originally appears to be a simple and dreamlike love devolves into yet another tale of violence and tragedy...

    Is the life of a yaksha truly destined to be one of despair? Or will the oaths he and Lumine have sworn to each other hold strong against even the shackles of the past?

    Summary

    Memories of their kisses and mindless ideas about Xiao's hands slipping underneath Lumine's shirt, each one leaving hot traces on her skin, slowly start to surface. It's hard to pretend that he doesn't affect her at all, even if she knows that it's not the right time to think about it.

    Summary

    “Just this once.”

    Lumine’s hands come to cup his face, her eyelids drop as her thumbs gently caress the apples of his warm cheeks. She sees a flash of his pronounced canines when he smirks; she’s fallen so far and can’t help but wonder how they’d feel against her skin. Pain? Pleasure? A masochistic mix of both?

    It's a sin to fall for her master, but the bodyguard still does.
