Chapter 8: A Calm Heart Steadies the Hand With plenty of people still waiting behind me, I didn’t linger long and moved forward. Entry and exit were separate—front gate in, back door out. Beyond the exit stretched a winding path downhill, shaded by sprawling tree canopies. Morning frost clung to the branches in the winter chill, glinting like crystal under the sunlight, turning the trail into a shimmering ribbon. Sipping porridge, I strolled down slowly. Every few meters, a big trash bag sat…-

Chapter 7: Don’t Eat Here “Are you swapping all of these?” I scanned the courtyard, roughly counting—at least two dozen flowerpots stacked around. “I can’t swap that many alone. I’ll do half today, the rest tomorrow,” Mochuan said. His Yan Guan robes were striking but impractical for labor. He set the plastic pots aside, deftly slipped off both sleeves, and tied them at his waist, revealing a narrow-sleeved white shirt beneath. A natural clothes hanger—broad shoulders, cinched…-

Chapter 6: How Does He Know I’m Frivolous? If I’m frivolous, then there’s not a single decent person in this world. I turned, ready to confront Mochuan, when a pained whimper drifted in from outside. Moments later, a dark-skinned old woman, frail and supported by a young man and woman, shuffled into the hall. Mochuan shot to his feet, rounding the low table to meet them. “Pinjia! Pinjia!!” The old woman’s steps had been unsteady, but seeing Mochuan, she found some hidden strength.…-

Chapter 5: No One Is Worthy After dealing with the dog poop—scrubbing my hands front and back with soap, even digging into the nail crevices until my skin wrinkled and the tiny cuts on my palm turned pale—I shook them dry and trudged back to the front courtyard. Erqian was neatly tied to a pillar by the main hall, but Mochuan and the shattered flowerpot were nowhere in sight. Breaking something and just walking off didn’t sit right with me… I hesitated for a moment, then stepped into…-

Chapter 4: Civilized Dog Ownership—You, Me, and Everyone “Get up, Bai Yin! The sun’s already baking your butt!” I pried my eyes open from a groggy sleep, greeted by an unfamiliar ceiling. The curtains at the research institute were thin, barely blocking the light. Sunlight streamed in, stabbing my eyes with a dull ache. “It’s nine already—how long are you planning to sleep? The breakfast I saved for you’s gone cold!” Yan Chuwen’s voice rang out relentlessly from outside, louder…-

Chapter 3: A Label Called "Other" The realization that I only liked men came to me in high school, and the process was as simple as it was blunt—I found myself more drawn to the soccer boys sprinting across the field than to the girls in short skirts doing calisthenics. In that moment, I knew I was gay. Accepting my own difference was easy. The hard part was getting others to accept it too. In my sophomore year, a girl confessed to me. I’d always turned them down outright before, but that…-

Chapter 2: Feudal Dross “Long time no see.” Mochuan removed his felt cap, his lashes lowered as he gave me a slight nod. In an instant, the faint trace of emotion on his face vanished, replaced by a polite curve of his lips, as if he genuinely rejoiced in our long-awaited reunion. Yan Chuwen said, “Bai Yin just arrived today. I’m taking him around for a casual look. You go about your business—don’t mind us.” Yan Chuwen and Mochuan had been classmates in college, even sharing a…-

Chapter 1: None but the Divine May Touch The car jolted along, and I dozed off in a hazy slumber. Caught between dream and reality, my thoughts leaped through a kaleidoscope of bizarre scenes—one moment I was riding a roller coaster at an amusement park, the next I stood on the moon’s surface. In the blink of an eye, seasons shifted from cold to warm. I found myself before a mountain gate, gazing up at the elegant, timeless characters on the plaque above: “Jizhu Temple.” The voices of the…-
