In a world where soulmarks reveal your destined partner, fate doesn't always arrive on time. Wang Yibo has lived his life believing he was forgotten by destiny. With no mark on his skin and no faith left in fate, he learned to trust only himself. Xiao Zhan has carried a name on his skin for years-one he never understood, one he never thought he'd meet. When their paths finally cross, the truth is impossible to ignore. A mark that appeared too late. A meeting that came too soon. Two hearts forced to decide- Is destiny enough to make love last? Or does love require a choice beyond fate? A slow-burn YiZhan story filled with longing, quiet tension, emotional intimacy, and the kind of love that arrives softly... but stays forever.

A tragic accident changes everything for Zhan, once a confident heir now confined to a life far different than he imagined. When Yibo arrives as his caretaker, a quiet bond begins to form between two very different worlds. As they navigate pain, trust, and healing, their connection deepens in ways neither expected. But some wounds run deeper than the surface, and not every truth is easy to face. In a story about loss, redemption, and the power of love to rebuild, will they find a way to move forward... together? ⚠️ Trigger Warnings / Disclaimers: • This fanfic contains BL (Boys' Love) / homosexual themes. • Sexual content is included - reader discretion is advised (18+). • The characters in this fanfic are entirely fictional. • While the names Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo are used, this work is not based on their real lives or personalities. • This fanfic has no affiliation or connection with the real individuals. • The story is created purely for entertainment purposes. • Cover photo is for visual reference only - no real-life association intended. • If you're uncomfortable with any of the above themes, please feel free to skip this story.

Lan Wangji only asked Professor Wei Wuxian to fake being his boyfriend long enough to escape an arranged marriage. He didn't expect the possessive touches, the soft smiles, or the way Wuxian acted like Wangji already belonged to him. Now caught between family expectations, campus gossip, and an alpha who feels far too real, Wangji is starting to realize one dangerous thing... falling for his professor was never part of the syllabus.

They say your childhood friends are your greatest treasures. For Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo, their childhood friendship is a dumpster fire that's been burning since they take birth. As the only sons of two best friends, their lives have been a relentless competition. From who got the bigger piece of cake at age five to who has the better career at age twenty-three, the rivalry is legendary. • Xiao Zhan, the sophisticated Arts graduate, thinks Yibo is a brainless speed-demon. • Wang Yibo, the cold Business Management genius, thinks Zhan is a fussy, high-maintenance diva. The two haven't agreed on a single thing in twenty four years-until their parents drop the ultimate bomb: To merge the family legacies, they are getting married. One forced wedding, one shared apartment, and two very stubborn only sons later, the "Cold War" moves from the parents' dining room to their own bedroom. Between divided fridge shelves, "accidental" laundry disasters, and the constant struggle to pretend they are a "loving couple" in front of their moms, Yibo and Zhan are about to find out that there is a very thin line between enmity and love. Top- Wang Yibo Bottom- Xiao Zhan

Never get attached. Dr. Wang Yibo has one goal: Survive his family's impossible expectations. When their families force them into an arranged marriage, both expect a cold, distant arrangement. What they get instead is a dangerous game of secrets, lies, and a conspiracy that could destroy them both. Someone is hiding something deadly.Medical supplies disappearing from Yibo's hospital.Classified leaks in Xiao Zhan's unit.Bodies piling up with no explanations. As they investigate, the line between duty and desire blurs. Stolen glances become lingering touches. Professional distance becomes late-night conversations.

Can they rebuild what was broken? And when an unexpected pregnancy turns their world upside down, will Xiao Zhan's dangerous military life and Yibo's demanding career tear them apart-or finally bring them together?

In one world, four broken souls were never supposed to meet. A lonely boy who smiles like sunshine but hides terrifying secrets. A man who lost everything once... yet still loves too deeply. A cold soul who silently waits for someone he can never let go. And another man who built walls around his heart long ago. But what happens when worlds collide? Why does a strange boy know things he should never know? Why do ancient powers awaken around him? Why does fate keep tying these four together again and again?

But his hands were grabbed and pinned against the walls by the beast that had held him hostage, his grip was harsh and he finally looked at Yibo, his stare was cold and intense and it made Yibo feel small and a little flustered, "please... let go Mr. Xiao." The other man chuckled, and the sound of his laughter made Yibo swallow nervously, "I didn't catch you with the intention of letting you go darling. I wanted you hence I have held you." he said in a cold and deep voice which made a shiver run down Yibo's spine, and the latter asked, "this is wrong..." "Do I look like a person who cares about what's wrong and what's right?" "I couldn't care less, I want you and I will have you, by hook or by crook." He said as he kept his head over Yibo's neck and inhaled before muttering, "god you drive me crazy." He said as he stared at Yibo again. ~~ Yibo, is what people call a doormat, a person too kind for his own good, and this is why people often take advantage of his kindness. But he still sees the hope in others which is the reason why he has a charm of his own, his innocence and kindness is what makes him special and this is the reason why he ended up attracting a beast.
