TW: Child Abuse, Child Neglect, If any more I'll make sure to add them in the chapter and here. A 16 year old lady gets kicked out of her house for being pregnant. She loved the child until her boyfriend left her because of that child, and grew to hate him. She despised him and didn't want others to know about him and kept him hidden before she kicked him out. Now what will he do? This will contain other ships such as Zhongchi, and possibly others. If you do not like it please click off. If you know the artist of the cover please tell me, I can't find it. ): I don't own the characters just the plot, ty!

He just stood there, on the edge of the cliff, playing the lyre for hours. At first, I thought maybe I should pull him back. Humans are fragile after all. Falling off a cliff that high would certainly kill one. But I didn't. I got too absorbed in his playing and by the time I looked, I saw him with his back to the cliff. I saw him take a step back, and fall, fall right down into the sea. Just an idea I suddenly had. This is a xiaoven fanfic. If you don't like the ship, don't read it. I do not own the characters, nor the cover art. #1 in xiaoven - 09-03-2022 #1 in zhongli - 01-05-2022
