Summary
Jiang Cheng has always known his place.
He knows what it means to be second, to be the one left standing in the wake of someone else’s brilliance. He knows how to hold his tongue, how to bite down on the words that will only taste worse when spoken aloud. He knows that longing is a useless thing.
But the body is treacherous.
The first petal comes quietly, slipping past his lips like a secret he never meant to keep. A lotus, of course. As if he could ever escape what was carved into his bones.
Wei Wuxian doesn’t notice. He never does. He is too busy laughing, too busy pulling at the threads of a life that will never tangle with Jiang Cheng’s the way he wants.
So Jiang Cheng stays where he is, watching, waiting, pretending it doesn’t feel like drowning.
After all, he has always known how to hold his breath.
