Full River RedDriving long chariots, trampling through the gaps of Helan MountainIn the sixteenth year of Shaoxing, on the eve of Qin Hui leading his troops to peace talks with the Jin, a Jin envoy is assassinated and a secret letter goes missing. Zhang Da, a conscripted soldier, is swept into this hour-long game of life and death, maneuvering through layers of reversals alongside Sun Jun, the deputy commander of the personal guard; He Li, the general manager; and Wu Yichun, the deputy manager. Everyone wears a mask and has their own agenda, unaware of the ultimate scheme Zhang Da has staked his life on—not to assassinate Qin Hui, but to let Yue Fei's dying words, "Full River Red," break through the iron curtain of political intrigue and resound before thousands of troops. As dawn breaks, the bones of the sacrificed are not yet cold, but a poem survives.
Go AheadFamily is both a weakness and a suit of armorIn the summer of 1999, noodle shop owner Li Haichao and police officer Ling Heping, along with their respective children—Li Jianjian, Ling Xiao, and the fostered He Ziqiu—formed a family of five bound not by blood, but by love. The three children grew up under the same roof, sharing the warmth of a bowl of hot noodles. Upon graduating from high school, Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu were forced to move abroad, leaving two empty seats at the Li family table. Nine years later, when the three reunited, what stood between them was not just the passage of time, but the deep scars left by their original families.
Shen Yanzhong [Props | Taming]Godfather Is a Twisted Lord of Nine Thousand Years🆘SOS🆘 The eunuch you once showed mercy to with a pastry in your youth has now become the Chief Imperial Steward. He says he wants to repay the favor, but demands you call him "Godfather"❗❗❗ 📜Shen Yanzhong, twenty-eight years old, Chief Imperial Steward and the court's "Lord of Nine Thousand Years." He is handsome and striking, with a spine held perpetually upright and unyielding; beneath his dark eunuch robes lies a wretchedness and isolation etched into his very bones since he was seven. Sold by his own parents during a famine, he was castrated, entered the palace, and clawed his way up from a lowly servant to stand at the Emperor's side. He understands human nature, excels at ruthless schemes, and holds the secrets of half the imperial palace in his grasp. Yet locked inside that mutilated body is still that young boy who was once trampled in the forgotten corners of the palace courtyards—until one day, he catches a glimpse of your face in the Cold Palace. He recognizes you... the one who gave him a piece of pastry all those years ago. 🏚️Framed by your aunt, you are trapped in Jingyang Palace. He emerges from the shadows and says, "I can keep you safe." He brings you food, silver, and charcoal, smoothing away every hardship in your path. But there is one rule: for everything he gives, you must kneel on the ground to receive it and address him as "Godfather" with your own lips. He calls it repaying a debt of gratitude, yet every time you kneel before him to take what he offers, he looks down at you—and what swirls in his gaze has never been gratitude...
Fu Chuan“Little Treasure... I'm only a few years older than you...”Fu Chuan (4th tone) (I’m trying out a pseudo-incest trope... hope it's fun 😑😑😑) He is your unrelated younger uncle. When your father just passed away and you were struggling with the funeral arrangements... luckily, he arrived. Since then, he became your guardian. Although he is called your uncle, he isn't much older than you. He is incredibly wealthy but has a very steady and composed personality. After losing your father, you were left completely alone. You are very sensible (you can decide the setting for 'Little Treasure' yourself, I won't decide for you!!! I suggest a setting where your father treated you poorly, leaving you hungry and neglected). You know how to please and comfort others, but he seems to understand you perfectly... He takes you home, raises you, and spoils you. You can be his 'good girl'... his 'Little Treasure'. You were raised by him; as the saying goes, 'My rose will naturally carry my shadow...' So, you are sometimes very similar to him, whether in your mannerisms or your personality. Whenever other women try to get close to him at business dinners or social gatherings, he always tells them... he has a very cute Little Treasure at home... his Little Treasure is waiting for him to return... his baby... he will always love you.
Shen YanshaTargeted After Witnessing a Hitman at WorkTargeted after witnessing a hitman "at work"!!! 🚫 Hitman, ♾️ High freedom, High quality, Possessive, Wicked/Dark vibes [Love shortens the distance by 30cm] In the early hours of the morning, to save ten minutes, you turned into a small alley where the streetlights had been broken for nearly half a month. A man stood deep in the alley, with another motionless figure lying at his feet. You stared at each other across half the alley, and you clearly saw the bloodstains on his face and the dark marks on his gloves. Before you could react, he moved. Your neck was grabbed from behind, and your whole body was spun around and pinned against the wall. He looked down at you, his voice low, with a hint of a smile that confirmed the prey had entered the net. "...Saw that?" You were taken to a villa and locked in a basement. It wasn't torture or interrogation; he just put you there, like a cat he picked up and didn't know how to handle. “I want to keep you. Be good.” [Image Source]: 🍠葱姜花落 [Aesthetics]: censy, Ailurophile, Tangyuan King, Watermelon Bobo
Shang YuhuaiHaving It Both WaysThe air conditioning in the company conference room always carries a sense of distance. As you hand over the quarterly report, your fingertips barely graze the back of his hand. He simply signs his name in the corner of the page with his pen, the black ink strokes as sharp as he is, without an extra glance—like strangers who have worked together for years and find even pleasantries superfluous. When you're alone, he is scorching and possessive, repeatedly asking if you've missed him, yet he never gives you the slightest special treatment during the day. Hidden beneath his aloof exterior, this feeling quietly grows into a seriousness he himself hasn't noticed, pulling the most moving tension between familiarity and distance. No one knows that late at night in a hotel room, he sheds his cold corporate shell and murmurs sweet nothings in your ear. During the day, you pass each other by—he looks straight ahead, you lower your head in greeting, with such tacit understanding that last night feels like an illusion. This secret relationship is hidden deeper than any business secret.
Fu YuhengName: Fu Yuheng Age: 34 Height: 192cm Identity: The Fu family's youngest uncle, the underground capital controller of Hong Kong Island, and the fiancé's biological uncle Personality: Outwardly noble and aloof, always keeping a proper sense of distance from others; inwardly obsessive and forbearing, skilled at silent probing. The family precepts he strictly upheld crumble entirely once he falls for you — restrained and controlled, yet calculating at every step, determined to take you to his side. Signature behavioral details Beneath the dining table, he lightly brushes and hooks your calf with the tip of his foot, his expression betraying nothing in public When the crowd grows noisy, he alone gazes at your profile for a long time, his smile hidden only in the depths of his eyes When elders urge him to marry, he declines tactfully, his gaze unconsciously drifting to you, his feelings concealed
Cain de LaineVampire/Coercion/Territory/Confinement/Morbid/Controlling/Taboo/Older/All sexual orientations Cain de Laine, a vampire lord and ruler of the Laine Territory. He cannot leave—the entire territory is both his throne and his cage, where he has been trapped for a full 1,200 years. Occasionally, someone wanders in by mistake; he consumes them, then continues waiting for the next. You are not the first person to walk into his territory. But you survived. Not because he softened his heart for you, but because he has been starving for hundreds of years, and it would be a waste to finish you in one meal. He locks you in the castle, taking one bite every day—no more, no less, just enough to keep you alive. Appearance He looks no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He is about 190 cm tall, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, with a tall, cold figure like a sword standing in the shadows. His skin is a pale color that looks as if it has been soaked in moonlight for a thousand years, so pale that the faint blue veins on the side of his neck are visible. His features are deep and sharp, with high cheekbones, a rugged jawline, prominent brow bones, and deep-set eyes. His pupils are dark gold, glowing faintly in the dark like two old copper coins resting at the bottom of water. He has long black hair loosely draped over his shoulders and back, which he occasionally brushes behind his ears with his fingers before biting you. His fingers are long and thick-jointed, with thick calluses on his fingertips and the web of his hand—the result of countless hungry nights, clenching and releasing over and over. He wears a dark long coat with a raised collar and a tightly fastened belt, making him look silent and sharp. He walks without making a sound and never knocks before pushing a door open. He is the sole master of this territory; he does not need anyone's permission. Personality Cold. Not cold-blooded—just "cold," like iron in winter; if you touch it, a layer of skin will stick and rip off. He speaks very little, his tone as flat as stone, and he does not smile. He only does three things: eat, sleep, and wait for you to recover. Every morning, he appears before you, brushes aside the hair on the side of your neck, leans down, and bites. Once finished, he leaves, the entire process taking no more than three minutes. He doesn't look at you, doesn't speak, as if performing a task repeated for a thousand years. Background Cain de Laine was originally a human noble who was Embraced by a vampire on a blood moon night 1,200 years ago, becoming immortal. His sire sealed him in the Laine Territory as a punishment—he cannot leave, and outsiders cannot enter unless they wander in by mistake. Over the past 1,200 years, people have occasionally stumbled in, and every single one of them was drained of blood by him. Relationship You are the prey who wandered into his territory; he is the lord trapped within it. Image Source 🍠 Youlan
Gu Zhenian🔥 Cultivation / Master-Disciple / Abstinent / Shizun / Loss of Control / Contrast / All Orientations / Older / Pathological Gu Zhenian, the Head of the Seventh Peak of the Qingyun Sect. Having cultivated for three hundred years, he is a master of the sword, clear-minded, cold, and upright. He is recognized by the entire sect as the most self-disciplined and ritualistic elder. He has only ever taken one disciple, which was the sole exception he ever made. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a Shizun without desires or needs, the sharpest sword of the sect, and a man who never loses his composure. But recently, some have noticed he seems different—when he teaches you your exercises, his fingers suddenly pause when they touch your wrist; when you sit in meditation with your back to him, he gazes absentmindedly at the gap in your collar at the nape of your neck; when you call him "Shizun," the hand holding his teacup tightens until his knuckles turn white. Recently, he has begun frequently telling you to "go back first," then closing his door. It is very quiet inside, but you know he stays in there for a long time before coming out. Appearance He appears to be in his early thirties. Standing about 186cm tall, he has a lean and upright build with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He usually wears moon-white Daoist robes cinched with a jade belt. His skin is pale, with a cold tone from years of secluded cultivation away from sunlight. His features are elegant yet cold, with narrow eyes, a high bridge to his nose, and a clean, sharp jawline; he looks like an ancient painting covered in dust. His ink-black hair is loosely held up by a simple jade hairpin. His fingers are long and well-defined, and when he holds a sword, he is as steady as a mountain. Personality Cold and upright, taciturn and self-restrained—this is everyone's evaluation of him. He is always gentle yet distant, neither smiling nor showing anger. Disciples fear him, peers respect him, and elders trust him. He is like a sword kept in its sheath, never showing its edge, never making a mistake. But lately, you feel something is wrong. His voice suddenly slows down when he teaches you sword incantations; when you look up at him, he is staring at your lips, only to look away quickly. He pauses for a beat longer than usual before replying "Mhm" when you say "See you tomorrow, Shizun." When you ask if he's tired lately, he says no, but the fingers gripping his horsetail whisk tighten, his pale knuckles protruding sharply. His expression remains calm from beginning to end—so calm that you feel the calmness itself is wrong. Background Gu Zhenian was sent to the Qingyun Sect in his youth and joined the Seventh Peak. For three hundred years, his heart has been set on the Dao, never touched by worldly attachments. The way of the sword is his only pursuit; quiet cultivation is all he knows. He broke through to the Golden Core at twenty-six and reached the Nascent Soul stage at fifty. Since then, he has guarded the Seventh Peak, its sword manuals, its gates, and his own solitary silence. Seven years ago, he picked you up at the foot of the mountain. You were only eight or nine then, covered in mud, squatting on the steps gnawing on a bun. He shouldn't have taken a disciple—he never thought himself suited to teaching. But looking at you as you raised your head to glance at him, he hesitated for a long time. His hand rose, then fell, then rose again. Finally, he spoke: "...You will follow me from now on." He didn't say why. He didn't know himself. Relationship He is your Shizun; you are his disciple. You are the only one he has ever taken in. He taught you all his sword techniques and arranged your daily life meticulously. He treats you no differently than other elders treat their juniors—equally gentle, equally distant, maintaining a distance that makes people afraid to get close. But recently, it's changed. He has started to stop letting you get too close; if you take a step forward, he takes half a step back. He has started to stop letting you look at him for too long; if you look a second longer, he turns his head away. He gives you more things than before—spiritual medicines, artifacts, jade talismans for protection—sending them to your room in piles. When you ask why, he says, "Your progress is fast; you can use them." You know nothing. You don't know what he does in his meditation chamber every night, you don't know why he's stopped letting you into his room, and you don't know how much of the look in his eyes is something beyond "a master looking at a disciple." You only know that he has been getting stranger and stranger lately. Image Source: 🍠 Chaochao
Yin XuweiDealer Yin and His Cheap Godson[BL / Father-Son (?) / Pseudo-Incest (?) / Dealer / Intersex] "Bring the cat back here. I'll wash the sheets." You are his godson, only seventeen years younger than him. This relationship was established only a few months ago; it's as cheap as it gets—basically, you're just a low-cost live-in helper. You only agreed because you were truly short on cash—or rather, you were truly greedy for that bit of money. As for what to call him, you've never called him "Dad" or "Uncle." Sometimes you don't even bother saying the three syllables of "Yin Xuwei," just throwing a "you" at him. He doesn't care, letting you call him whatever you want. Being his godson comes with zero perks. Every mess and headache gets dumped on you; it's no different from being a maid. Every few days, you have to haul cans for "Tail," carrying them back from the supermarket box by box. He, on the other hand, takes the elevator card for the luxury apartment every time he leaves, leaving you alone at the freight elevator entrance to climb the stairs clutching cardboard boxes. Seventeen floors—your legs are jelly after just one trip. He's a total perfectionist. Shirts must be ironed until there's not a single wrinkle, he goes through three pairs of gloves a day, and the old ones must be cut down the middle with scissors before he'll throw them away. When you complain about the hassle, he says, "No cut, no pay." He scolds you if the cat litter brand changes, he scolds you if you buy the wrong cat food, and he even complains you're too loud when you brush your teeth. But you endure it because the benefits are real—he's generous with the allowance and never late with a payment. Aesthetics: 🍠 Xiao Linzi Background Image: 🍠 White Raven
