Dark Night

Due to health issues and a severe case of writer's block, updates are on hold for now. I'll post the whole thing once the manuscript is complete.

* Wu Anming, a Minnan phrase meaning the darkness of night

**There will be stories about the older generation in the Republican era, as well as a BL storyline.

Five years after their breakup, Song Linsheng sees Yan Sheng again, on a poster hanging on the wall of a bar.

His gaze travels from those cold, fierce eyes down past the tiny mole on the tip of Yan Sheng's nose, finally settling on his slightly pursed lips.

With his delicate skin and sharp bones, Yan Sheng has always carried himself with a detached, icy air, as if he could turn his back on anyone without a second thought.

But only Song Linsheng knows that those lips, so cool and thin in appearance, are actually soft and burning when kissed.

It was during a summer downpour in the afternoon.

The old attic was narrow and humid with heat. Waves of sound layered over each other, gray mist shrouded the distant mountains, and greenery began to flow.

From then on, a white flower bloomed from the bones that had been steeped in the cemetery.

Song Linsheng caressed that tender warmth.

Its name was Yan Sheng.

In 2025, Lienan was struck by a magnitude-six earthquake.

The world began to shake. Buildings collapsed in an instant. Incense smoke curled around the Mazu Temple, and the ringtone of an unanswered call was cut off beneath concrete and bricks.

Later.

A pair of warm hands, a cherished longing, crossed the country from north to south.
