[The complete manuscript is in progress, with updates expected to begin next January] [Companion series: Old Years Like Wine. Coming soon: Presumed Surrender. Please add them to your collection] "Have you ever seen the sunset at Cape Roca? It's the westernmost point of Eurasia. They say it's the end of the world." "When you come back, let's go together." Liang Siqi had been drifting from place to place abroad for a long time. After breaking up with Lu Zhi, he didn't return home right away. Instead, he kept painting to make a living. Then one day, he met a pen pal called "Anthony," who seemed to bring a ray of light into his gloomy world. They exchanged letters. They shared paintings and postcards of the places they had seen. They promised to visit Cape Roca together someday. But they had never met in person. Liang Siqi didn't think that mattered. Maybe this was his chance to finally forget Lu Zhi and start over. But just as he was full of hope and about to embark on a new journey... He woke from the dream. And there was a chain wrapped around him.

Zhang Ran had been tattooing for over a decade. He was skilled, but never went to a big city. Tattooing wasn't like fashion trends; you had to get out there. But he stayed in his county town, running a tattoo shop with no future and muddling through life. He figured it was fine to be a nobody all his life. He'd just keep going like this. Until that day. At a bar in the old town, he met another nobody. * Cool tattoo artist bottom x pet groomer top * A sweet, slow-burn story. * Part of a connected series.

Ji Lin was only seventeen when he met Xiao Yan. He was as docile as a lamb. He would agree to anything and give up anything. Everyone around them knew Xiao Yan wasn't right in the head. He treated Ji Lin's devotion with contempt and cold indifference, using him like a pawn. When Xiao Yan discarded him after getting what he wanted, he sneered, "You deserved it." Ji Lin said nothing. He only held him, docile and never resisting. Want me to leave? I suppose I can. His friends said Ji Lin was obsessive. Of all people, why choose this lunatic? It was downright stupid. Ji Lin only smiled. It wasn't Xiao Yan himself he longed for. It was the surrender he felt on all those nights when he didn't want to wake up, when he wanted to make Xiao Yan his. Until the very end. Even when Xiao Yan knelt before him, begging forgiveness again and again, Ji Lin remained docile. Theme: Live well and promote truth, goodness, and beauty.
