When Ari touches a cursed artifact and becomes possessed by a powerful spell, he must find a way to control it or risk losing himself and the half-vampire he loves. ***** Aristotle Lorenfield knows he's unusual. He lives in a museum of haunted objects, studies ancient magics, and is unapologetically asexual. He's used to being alone and doesn't want anything more. Then, one day, his archeologist uncle sends him a mysterious artifact in the mail, thrusting Ari into a world of real magic, necromantic cults, supernatural beings, and dangerous secrets. Torn from the comfort of his solitude, Ari must face the pain in his past, and the truth in himself, if he hopes to survive and save the man he's come to love - but the greatest dangers lie closer to home than he thinks.

Crossing realms, who wouldn't envy Shen Moyun's good fortune? Yet, with the Empress above, three consorts on the side, and nine concubines below watching closely, Shen Moyun expressed that if she wanted the Emperor to keep visiting her palace, then this method of soliciting customers must keep up with the times and not be complacent. Being a favored concubine is no easy task these days! Update schedule: 1 chapter per week
