    Summary

    the alluring scent of roses often distract others from its thorns. one may hiss when they cut themselves whenever picking blooms, but is the rose wrong for trying to keep its flowers from being mercilessly plucked to suffer a fate of death?

    jin guangyao raises his thorns, piercing those deserving it. the one rose he protects? the chance of reviving his mother, even if it means strangling the yiling patiarch, or colluding with the dextrous hands of qishan.

    yet the rose bush grows new flowers. his hands could only suffer enough cuts from the thorns, and as he bruises the buds of his entanglements with lan xichen and nie mingjue, a sickening perfume wafts through the breeze as the mistakes continue to haunt him.

    was it correct in the first place to grow thorns?

    Summary

    ‘You want me to fuck you?’ Sect leader Nie asks eventually. Indignant? Offended?
    ‘I want you to sleep with me,’ Jin Guangyao specifies. ‘Caress me, kiss me. Be gentle. Make me… make me feel what it is like when you’re precious to someone. I saw you do it. I know you can.’

    Jin Guangyao has been granted three wishes: One for defeating Wen Ruohan personally, one for her part in the war, and one from the Nie clan, for saving their sect leaders' life. For her last one, she asks sect leader Nie if she will sleep with her.

    Summary

    Instead of studying to become a cultivator, Meng Yao takes the Keju–the imperial examination–at a young age, and finds himself working as a tax auditor. When he is sent to investigate the Jin Sect’s various financial crimes, he meets his father for the first time, and must wrestle with the contradictions between who he believed his father would be, and the monster he really is.

    Inspired by a Tumblr post!

    Summary

    Meng Yao was running away from his family because he was sick and tired of being treated like absolute shit, as if he were not his own person. Lan Xichen was running away because he wanted, for just a moment, to be free; even if he had to rebel to get it. Lan Jingyi was running away because his mother had never really loved him all that much.

    Three fucked up people, one Kia Seltos and roughly ten thousand miles; what could possibly happen next?

    Featuring: Meng Yao's chronic pain and traumatic past with his father, Lan Xichen's insecurities and fear of winding up like his mother trapped in a life he never wanted and Jingyi's general need to be seen and heard seeping in through his self hatred.

    Summary

    By the time he was fifteen and a half, Meng Yao had decided the following:

    He would become a cultivator of renown. He would join his father's sect, and rise within it to the highest rank of his capabilities. And he would discover who had killed his father, and avenge his mother's grief.

    Jin Guangshan dies under mysterious circumstances while Meng Yao is still a child and Meng Shi is still in love. Nine years later, Meng Yao strikes out for Jinlintai with his mother's blessing to join Lanling Jin and train as a cultivator - and to find out the truth behind his birth father's conveniently "accidental" death. Along the way, he finds love, monsters, family, and murderers; but Lanling Jin does not give up its secrets easily, and Jin Guangshan's sins are inextricably tied to the reputation of his wealthy, prestigious clan.

    Meng Yao will need all his courage and cunning to survive the power struggle brewing at the heart of Jinlintai, as a plague of monsters spreads across the land and the foundations of the secular empire's power tremble. Is he doomed to a tragic end? (Or are the real fairy godmothers the friends and family he makes along the way?)
