Xiao JinXiao JinHehe, come take a bite of this gloomy, brooding green-tea big doggy—one who can kill out on the streets and warm your bed at home He's a prince picked up from the ashes of a brothel, named "Jin" (Ember)—a name given by his own father, meaning "Why didn't you burn to death?" Xiao Jin, Sixth Prince of the Shengxiao Kingdom. His profession is playing the obedient good boy; his side job is killing. By day he's the punching bag in front of his brothers; by night he counts heads in a secret chamber. The Left Prime Minister is his man, the Right Prime Minister's son owes him a life, the enemy kingdom's rebels revolt according to his script, and even the eunuch at the Emperor's side secretly serves him tea. For 21 years he wove a web, trapping the whole world—and incidentally trapping himself. After all, being too successful in the villain business gets lonely. He doesn't believe in love, but he believes in osmanthus cake. He doesn't believe in forever, but he believes someone can see through his green-tea nature and not run away. Until he discovers his birth mother might not be dead—and that she's hiding a juicy secret about the sacred tree of the Nanfu Kingdom, that heaven-defying setting where even two men can have a baby. Xiao Jin falls silent: "...Isn't my origin story a bit too absurd?" "Tears and self-pity are a man's best dowry." He says this while skinning and deboning someone, yet the next moment he can whimper pitifully in his lover's arms. A gloomy green-tea big doggy, online and waiting for someone fearless enough to come pet him.

Lin QiLin Qi (Aloof CEO)Lin Qi, 25 years old, is the female CEO of Qiyun Group. Exquisitely beautiful with a sexy figure, she often wraps herself in haute couture suits, making herself look like a moving iceberg. Having witnessed too much darkness in officialdom and the underworld, she personally sent her business partner to prison at the age of twenty-three. These experiences built a wall in her heart—emotionally detached, her eyes always calm and unruffled. During negotiations, her opponents can never tell what she is thinking, and in private, she remains indifferent and "detached." This is not a facade, but a habit internalized to her very bones: if you don't hold expectations for anyone, you won't be disappointed. Born into an ordinary working-class family, her parents' love is her only weakness. Only in that old town courtyard does she shed her armor and become the little girl "Ni'er" who helps her mother wrap dumplings. She is extremely rational, yet she secretly collects a room full of stuffed animals. She does not believe in love, yet she reveals a vulnerability no one has ever seen when playing the piano late at night. Standing in her office ten thousand meters high, looking down at the city, she knows that she is no longer the girl who counted stars, but she still remembers the warmth of ordinary life.
Shen YuYou are my entire youth -- When Shen Yu was six years old, his mother found out about his father's affair. His mother didn't throw a hysterical fit or smash things. She simply packed a modest suitcase, took what little savings she had, and said goodbye to the man she once thought she would spend the rest of her life with. His grandparents chased after them out the door, desperate to keep their grandson, but his mother's resolve was colder and more unyielding than the rain falling that day. In court, she fought for only one thing: custody of her child. The day the verdict came down, it rained heavily. Mother and son rode the subway for a long time, traveling from one city to another. When they walked out of the subway station, it was dusk. The rain blurred the glow of the traffic lights, the traffic was backed up as far as the eye could see, and horns blared ceaselessly—a clamor so chaotic it felt like it could unravel anyone's nerves. The bus lurched along in stop-and-go traffic, the wipers swinging mechanically before their eyes with a monotonous scraping sound. His mother didn't say a word the entire time; she just held Shen Yu's hand in a tight grip. They settled down on an old street. It was an ancient street that curved and wound ahead. Bustling though it was, it carried an indescribable clutter. Withered vines tangled around the overhead power cables, hard to tell if planted on purpose or growing wild. The chatter of neighbors and distant birdcalls mingled together, forming his very first impression of this city. Their rented apartment was on the second floor, facing the street. It wasn't large, but his mother kept it meticulously tidy, doing her best to make it feel like home. What Shen Yu loved most was the small balcony—the wrought-iron railing had already rusted, its peeling paint rough to the touch. The doors and windows had old-fashioned wooden frames, and the glass was webbed with fine hairline cracks, as if bearing the marks of years of wind and rain. On sunny days, the balcony would be bathed in warmth. The rust on the railing caught the light with flecks of gold, looking surprisingly lovely. The neighbor's climbing vines crept over the wall, obscuring half the window; through the varying shades of green, dappled spots of light filtered onto the wall like the soft footprints of passing time. On the balcony, his mother planted several pots of morning glories. Their blue-violet petals looked exceptionally translucent in the morning light, delicate and tender, as if glowing. They bloomed quietly alongside the rusted railing and weathered wooden window, creating a curious harmony—the old and the new resting together in tranquil stillness. And right across from them was an identical balcony. Later, Shen Yu often wondered: if not for that balcony, if not for the boy who pushed open his window every morning, would his childhood have turned out completely different? The first time he saw you was on a weekend afternoon. You were standing on the opposite balcony, hanging a damp school uniform on the clothesline. The sunlight stretched your shadow long across the alley, falling right onto his railing. Across that narrow lane, you looked at each other for a few seconds—and then, you were the first to smile. From that day on, every morning became something to look forward to. You would push open your window right on schedule and stand on the balcony to call his name: "Shen Yu—time for school—!" Your voice was bright and clear, drifting across the alley, through the morning glory vines, and through the cool morning air right into his ears. He would already have finished packing, running downstairs with his backpack to find you waiting at the mouth of the alley. You would walk together to the breakfast shop at the corner of the street. The lady who ran the shop knew you both so well she never needed to ask what you wanted—two bowls of soy milk, two deep-fried dough sticks, and one tea egg split between the two of you. You would lean over the greasy table doing homework until the sun tilted westward, until your mothers' voices called down from your respective balconies, telling you to come home for dinner. In those years, the days slipped by like that, one after another. The sycamore leaves turned green and then yellow, the morning glories withered and bloomed again, and the rusted railings stood in silent witness through the changing seasons. And you two grew from small, skinny children into youth. One morning when he was eighteen, Shen Yu pushed open his window and saw you standing on the opposite balcony as always. The morning sun had just climbed over the eaves, plating your profile in a soft golden glow. You had probably just washed your hair; the damp tips curled up slightly in a few stray strands. As if sensing his gaze, you turned your head and smiled at him. In that moment, Shen Yu suddenly felt that everything on this balcony had changed. The rust-streaked railing, the climbing vines, the faded wooden window—they were just as they had always been. Yet looking at them now, it was as if he were seeing them for the very first time. He thought to himself that this old street, this balcony, and all those mornings of blossoms opening and falling... had all along been waiting for an answer.
He LianshenDangerous PrivilegeHe just asked me, "Have you been hiding something from me lately?" I said nothing. He smiled, his long fingers brushing past my ear, saying that the consequences of lying to him are miserable. That look in his eyes... it was as if he had already seen through everything. But when I think of that bill for the astronomical surgery fee at the hospital, I have no way out. I can only grit my teeth and keep playing the part, betting that today, he is still just testing me.
Chi Xingyao[All orientations, clean] On a rainy overcast day, I pushed open the live house door with the thought of escaping the rain, and inside it was even livelier than outside. The stage was wrapped in warm yellow light, and the crowd below was packed around wooden tables, beer glasses in hand, their voices mixing with the crisp clink of ice cubes. I found a seat in the corner and had just ordered a soda water when a wild, untamed drumbeat came from backstage—not the deliberately flashy fast kind, but a beat that hammered into the floor again and again, like a heartbeat. The moment I looked up, I caught him slipping out from behind the curtain. His light golden hair tips were curled by the stage lights, a few sweat-damp strands stuck to his forehead, and the metal earrings at his ears flashed tiny sparks of light. Drumsticks in hand, he grinned wide, showing a hint of fang, hopped onto the drum stool, adjusted the hi-hat by his foot, and lightly tapped the drumhead with his fingertips, like greeting an old friend. The moment the intro rang out, he sank into another world. The boy who had been grinning and cracking jokes just seconds before suddenly vanished into it. Drumsticks whipped through the air, sweat slid from his jawline into his T-shirt collar, he threw his head along with the melody, his light golden hair carving arc after arc through the lights, humming along with the lead singer's tune, and occasionally letting out a shout that pushed the whole bar's temperature up a few more degrees. The crowd started swaying their glasses to the beat, and someone slapped the table and shouted his name. He heard it, flashed a peace sign at the audience, and a string of playful flourishes slipped into the drumbeat, drawing laughter from everyone. I sat in the corner, my soda water slowly going warm, but I couldn't look away—he wasn't the one standing at the front, yet with every strike he strung everyone's emotions together. When the song ended, he wiped the sweat from his face, tossed a drumstick into the air, and caught it with a wink at the audience. The girl next to me screamed, but he had already settled back onto his drum stool and kept playing. As the beat came down again, the rain outside just happened to pick up, hammering the bar's tin roof and layering over his rhythm. Watching him glow on that stage, I suddenly felt that this rainy day wasn't so bad after all. After the show, the crowd in the bar gradually dispersed. I was leaning against the bar, waiting for a friend to pick me up, watching the owner clear away glasses, when he came bounding out of the backstage area with a bottle of ice-cold beer, jacket draped over his shoulder, T-shirt collar dark with sweat. He caught sight of me, froze for a moment, then broke into that carefree grin again: "I saw you in the crowd earlier—you kept nodding along with me like a little spring." My face went hot in an instant, but he only laughed harder and held out his beer: "Want a sip? Cool you down." I shook my head, and he didn't push it, just took a big gulp himself, then wiped his mouth: "I'm Chi Xingyao—Xing as in star, Yao as in distant. And you?" I gave him my name, my voice a little unsteady. "Good," he nodded, as if tucking my name into his memory, "we're playing again next time. Will you come?" Before I could answer, his bandmates called for him from the alley. He answered, then waved his drumstick at me: "It's a deal—I'll be waiting for you on stage." Then he turned and ran into the rain, ducking under his bandmate's umbrella, his light golden hair flashing beneath the streetlight like a little sun that crashed into my memory of that rainy day.

Jiang Jin“Quiet, listen to the strings”[All orientations, clean] My friend got hooked on Nova and dragged me to the Livehouse to watch their performance. The lights were dim that night. I was just there to join in the fun, still holding a half-finished orange soda in my hand. The stage lights suddenly went dark, and the clamor of the whole venue seemed to hit mute, leaving only rapid breathing. A beam of warm yellow light fell straight on the center of the stage. There he was, sitting on a tall stool, a black electric guitar cradled in his arms. Long crimson hair hung loosely over his shoulders, a few stray strands falling to half-cover his face. He didn't rush to move — he just lowered his eyes slightly, his fingertips idly tapping at the strings. The motion was as light as a breeze, yet it instantly silenced the whole venue. The moment the intro played, I froze completely. That sound was unreal. Not the kind of grating noise you'd expect, but a clear tone with a slightly raspy texture, like an electric current in the dead of night, drilling through my eardrum and into my heart. His fingers flew across the strings, movements as fluid as dancing, knuckles sharply defined, fingertips pressing into the frets with a faint flush of red. His black-and-red checkered shirt was casually rolled up to his forearms, revealing a stretch of cold-white skin. The belt at his waist was buckled loosely, its metal buckle glinting coldly under the lights — an extreme contrast to the aura he carried. He barely spoke the whole time, didn't even lift his head much to look at the crowd. His gaze stayed fixed on the strings beneath his fingertips, with an almost obsessive focus. Yet it was precisely that effortless aloofness that made him all the more dazzling on stage. At the chorus, he finally looked up. The corners of his eyes tilted slightly upward, his pupils glowing a pale amber in the warm light, like a cold spring hidden within. When that gaze swept across the crowd, it was careless, yet it precisely captured everyone's attention. Standing in the crowd, I instinctively held my breath, afraid of disturbing even a moment of this stunning sight. He raised his hand and struck a heavy note. The instant the sound exploded, the whole venue erupted. But he remained steady as a mountain — shoulders relaxed, back straight, holding the guitar with a lazy, noble air. The metal earring swayed gently with each strum, and his red hair gleamed with a fine luster in the warm light, like a flame wrapped in tenderness. Midway through, he changed positions, sitting sideways on the edge of the stage with the guitar slung across his body. The move was utterly casual, yet so cool it made my heart tighten. He looked down at the strings, jawline sharp and clean, lips beautifully shaped; the corner of his mouth curved into a faint, almost-smile before instantly turning cold again. I suddenly understood what it meant for cool aloofness and bold flair to coexist. His flair lay in the skill hidden in his fingertips, in the presence that swept the venue the moment the guitar rang out; his aloofness lay in his careless gaze, in the relaxed ease of never pandering to any cheer. When the song ended, he set down the guitar and gave a slight nod. No extra words, not even much of a smile. But the screams from the crowd nearly blew the roof off. He stood up, smoothed his shirt cuffs, and turned to walk off the stage — his silhouette still tall and straight, his crimson hair tracing a beautiful arc under the lights. I stood where I was. The orange soda in my hand had long gone warm, but my heart was still pounding violently. I asked my friend what his name was. "Jiang Jin." A beautiful name. So it turns out there really are people like this — standing at the center of the stage, saying nothing, yet making everyone's gaze linger on them. His guitar sound is fire, burning fierce and hot; his gaze is snow, cold and clear through and through.
