Pure Love, Passionate Romance

World One: Reason Above All Zhu Xingzhao is always gentle and courteous to others. But get a little closer and you’ll discover that beneath his mild manner lies a cold detachment so calm and rational it verges on the extreme. Get closer still and you’ll sense a possessiveness mixed into that coldness. Then you’ll understand that he’s the sort of person best admired from afar, not approached. Zhu Xingzhao is perfectly content with his life, but Wen Xingci barges into it in a flurry. World Two: Reborn Wen Yi comes from a poor mountain village. He gets the chance to change his fate here, but also loses the use of one leg, something he can never quite come to terms with, even in the final stage of his life. When he opens his eyes, he gets the chance to live his life over. He sees Zhu Jingli again. Even after six or seven decades, the other man still looks aloof and refined. Wen Yi wonders if his memories were nothing but a delusion. But Zhu Jingli walks up to him and says exactly what Wen Yi remembers. “Wen Yi, will you go out with me?” This time, Wen Yi smiles and answers, “No.” He says, “No, I don’t like you.” World Three: Stray Dog Zhu Bing has known since childhood that the Wen family raised him to be their enforcer. In this strange, dazzling city where crime plays out every day, the Wen family needs someone capable yet controllable to do their dirty work. That’s fine. He’s willing. Because the Wen family picked him up from a garbage heap, and because he likes Wen Fengzhou. For that, he can hide his ruthless ambitions and be a loyal, foolish dog. World Four: Above the Throne All the male insects died in a reform a thousand years ago. After insect society collapsed, large numbers of female insects began wandering the universe, even going into self-imposed exile. Other civilizations called them locusts, destroyers of civilization, and demons that devour planets. Then, at long last, the final male insect was born. Content warnings for this story: 1.
