Burning Obsession: Mind Reading and Shared Dreams Bind Me to You

[Historical BL] [Younger Man, Sweet Romance] [Mutually Lovesick] [Mind-Reading and Shared Dreams]

Wei Zhi is the young tyrant of the capital, the scourge of heaven and earth and the nobility alike. He is the emperor's favorite, and no one at court dares provoke him.

Then, amid the fluttering peach blossoms of spring, he falls for the cool, moonlike eyes of Xiao Ran, young lord of the Lanling Xiao Clan.

Even more absurdly, he discovers that he can sometimes hear Xiao Ran's thoughts.

Xiao Ran is dignified, composed, and aloof as a celestial being. He says, "My lord, please return," while thinking, "...Come a little closer."

At a banquet, Xiao Ran sits among the guests, chatting and laughing with ease, while thinking, "...Such a slender waist. I want to hold him."

Wei Zhi chokes on his wine. So this man acts restrained and chaste, but thinks about things like that?!

Xiao Ran thinks he's hidden his feelings well, unaware that every restrained "There's no need" conceals a heartfelt "Don't go."

Wei Zhi plays along, pretending not to know, shamelessly getting close and spoiling him rotten.

They can even share dreams.

By day, Xiao Ran maintains the aloof bearing of a noble young lord. At night, he entwines himself with Wei Zhi in their dreams and says, "...Keep going."

Amid courtly intrigue and old family grudges, when Xiao Ran's life hangs by a thread, he keeps a cold expression and says, "Please leave."

But beneath that expressionless face, Wei Zhi hears a broken whisper: "...Don't."

He is willing to set aside all his pride, patiently coax and cherish Xiao Ran, stay by his side every day, and never let go.
