That night, Kendrick confessed to her. Holding her favorite red tulips, he kneeled, “I love you, Ondina. Will you do me the honor to be your boyfriend?” She was taken aback. “No,” she answered firmly. With disbelief look in his eyes, Kendrick asked for the reason. She then responded, not in his dream that it will made his heart bleed. “I'm sorry, but I already have a boyfriend and I like him very much,” she revealed. •••••••••••15 YEARS LATER••••••••••• “Leave me here... and run...” he insisted. Ondina argued, “No! We will escape together or I will die with you!” “Please...” “No... I can't... please, don't say that...” she burst into tears. “Do you know why... I loved you...?” “Why...?” Kendrick smiled despite the excruciating pain in his chest. “Because you made... my world livable... that I can't imagine life without you anymore...” he professed. Continuing, he caught blood, “So please... live for me... and run...” He caressed her cheek soaked in tears. “I love you... Ondina.” he uttered as his bloody hand slipped and his heart stopped its beating. That's when Ondina world completely fell apart. Screaming while mourning in agony, she only left drowning in tears. “Live?! Don't make me laugh! How can I live if even you abandoned me?!” With everything taken from her, Ondina ends her life. BANG! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Her whole body was hurting especially the lower part. It's aching that she can't even move an inch as if someone punched her hard. She wants to complain about it but as she is about to utter a word, her voice can't get out of her mouth. Ondina tried to get up to compose herself but then, she suddenly realized one thing. She was lying completely naked all along under the blanket. Bewildered, she took a glance beside her, where a handsome man was also lying naked and sleeping soundly. After looking carefully at his face, she ended up becoming stunned. "..." "Haha..." "N-No, this can't be happening..." she mumbled as her tears began to stream down to her face. Kendrick, the man she watched died in her arms is now lying beside her unscathed. "Hmm... What are doing? Are you trying to run away...?” “No... Never. Because this time, you have to marry me!”

Reborn into a new life, all she wants is to be a salted fish and laze her life away. Who knew she would start with a critical blow: her parents and eldest brother were assassinated, leaving her and three children behind. Her third brother was gravely injured, her fourth brother was in a coma, and there was a nursing baby crying out for food. She weighed the cold corn bun in her hand and looked up at the sky in despair; one person dragging along three, this hand of cards was so bad it would be better to start over.

But as it turned out, a certain man would not let her have her way. "Second Miss Ye, you've delayed me for so many years. You ought to give me an explanation." Ye Chutang: "6."

Lìngxiāo is the same boy Chóng Fēi believed he had killed indirectly by exposing him. Since the day Lìngxiāo was born, he has carried a strange condition that never lets him show pain or anger. As an independent exorcist with no controlling clan above him, he roams the land with three burning aims: to save the common people from darkness, to clear his own name—from his own father's murder—and to unravel the mystery behind the man who raised him before disappearing right after he learned to stand on his own. Was his father killed? Or was there something deeper than that? Who was that bloodless "uncle" who used to teach him what is distraction and what is destination? Were those teasing words—"A wave of pleasure"—something more than what he took too long to understand? Soon, his destiny took an unexpected turn. His hometown Yún Xi calls him back—not as who he used to be, but as a professional exorcist. A town haunted by a Red Robe Ghost, where no exorcist who answered the call has ever survived. When Lìngxiāo arrives, a silent surprise awaits him. Nineteen souls. Twenty deaths. But wasn't it supposed to be only one ghost—the one hunting the very heir of the clan in nightmares? That heir is Chóng Fēi. He has spent fifteen years carrying the weight of a death he believes he caused—the death of Xiǎo Lìng, the boy who once protected him from his father's cruelty. He has spent fifteen years loyal to a ghost. He has spent fifteen years trapped between his father's control and the skull mummy who haunts his every step. Now, Chóng Fēi finds himself drawn to the mysterious, perpetually smiling exorcist. Something about Lìngxiāo feels familiar. Something about him makes Chóng Fēi want to trust—and want to run. He doesn't know that the man he's falling for is the same boy he's been mourning. During the investigation—through a ballad of needles and fear, all for the sake of keeping the heir alive—Chóng Fēi's one-sided longing grows into deep love. It becomes his reason to walk slower. To share belongings. To share his trauma. And Lìngxiāo, who has been searching for answers about his father and his uncle, begins to realize that the demonic energy haunting Yún Xi isn't just around him. It's around Chóng Fēi too. The ghosts are not the villains. They are victims of someone else—a mastermind who has been watching, waiting, pulling the strings. And there is more than one. The unknown one seems to be above the other. Can someone who roots for power and legacy move for the songbird whose nature is flying around, searching for his origin? And who even bothered enough to raise a hopeless boy without purpose—only to leave just when he had started to fly high and wanted to hear that simple "Do not worry, boy"? Let's find out on the surface of tears and smiles—which is not even the start or the end, but the middle of something far more complicated but ends into someone else's epic—Black Peacock's Tearstone Cultivation. (will come soon : connects to all spin offs) Bonus book: For The Four Arms, One Soul [a book inspired by Chóng Fēi's shelf! say thanks to him for being such a story bug!]

All of you," Haru whispered, his forehead resting against Raiven’s. His arm remained anchored around Raiven's waist, holding him steady, pulling him close with a gentleness that suggested he was afraid even the slightest force might break the man beneath him. ​Raiven let out a shaky breath, closing his eyes as he surrendered to Haru's warm embrace. ​Haru buried his face in the crook of Raiven’s neck, his breath warm against the skin. ​"If you keep saying things like that, I might just have to pin you down and fuck you again," Raiven murmured, a small, tired smirk tugging at his lips. ​Haru let out a soft, melodic chuckle, his lips grazing Raiven’s pulse point. Raiven’s skin reacted instantly, a shiver racing through him. He held his breath, his grip on Haru tightening as he fought to savor every ounce of proximity and warmth. ​He held on as if Haru were a ghost that might dissipate at any moment. He was terrified that if he let go, this would all prove to be an illusion,that he would be left in the cold again. That Haru wouldn't be his anymore. ​He wasn't ready to give up the sight of Haru’s beauty, or the way Haru whimpered and moaned his name as he worshipped his body. He had grown to adore Haru's quirks,the old-fashioned phrases that slipped from his tongue, the way his eyes danced with a century's worth of glee and curiosity. ​But most of all, Raiven was afraid that if Haru looked just a little bit closer, he would see the truth: exactly how much he had come to mean to him. **** I PLACED ⚠️ ON CHAPTERS THAT CONTAIN EXPLICIT CONTENT.

And at thirty-thousand feet, there is nowhere left to hide from your own heart." ​THE SYNOPSIS ​Seoul is a city of rushing suits, grey pavement, and strict boundaries. But at Incheon International Airport, under a bruised purple and gold sky, the lives of four individuals are about to collide in a spectacular storm of emotional turbulence. ​Hyuna Park has spent fifteen years running after a shadow. Bubbly, earnest, and completely lovestruck, her entire world revolves around Junghan Kim, her childhood family friend turned cold, brilliant Art Director. But to Junghan, Hyuna is a permanent fixture of his past—a "younger sister" he protects but never truly looks at. When their design team is stationed at the airport for a high-profile rebranding project, the sting of Junghan's rejection finally breaks Hyuna's spirit on her twenty-fifth birthday. ​But where one gravity fails, a new one takes hold. Jae-won Seo is a warm, empathetic pilot who sees the oceans of unshed tears behind Hyuna’s bright smile. He doesn’t want her to chase him; he wants to run after her. He promises to build her a home, to decorate the walls in the blue she loves, and to pull her out of the shadows of unrequited love. ​Yet, Jae-won’s heart carries a hidden anchor. For ten years, his orbit has belonged to Haeyoung Hong—his fiercely independent, "Ice Queen" co-pilot. Haeyoung demands to be the first priority or nothing at all, hiding a painful family history behind a flawless uniform and a secret sky-photography account. But when she witnesses Jae-won holding Hyuna in a protective embrace, the fortress around her heart shatters, triggering a devastating panic she can't fly away from. ​Driven by bitter rebellion against his own fractured family, Junghan finds himself inexplicably drawn to Haeyoung’s fierce, untouchable steel. He has spent his life drawing skies, but suddenly, he is drawing the woman who owns them. ​When a rain-slicked highway leads to a terrifying, near-fatal car crash, a single emergency redial shifts the axis of all four lives. As the speed of sound meets a suffocating silence, old obsessions crash to the ground, new shores are discovered, and four hearts must face the ultimate question: ​When you are falling without a parachute, who is the one you reach for?
