"When I found you, the sun found me."

~

It has been 2000 years since Runyu's ascension to the Heavenly Throne. Citizens of the Six Realms are beginning to question the Heavenly Emperor's ability to cope with both Heaven's affairs and his old duties as the Night Immortal, which he refuses to give up. Unwilling to crown a Heavenly Empress and scornful at the idea of taking a consort who can bear him a successor, the cold and contemptuous silver dragon has no other choice but to begrudgingly request the help of the lovely Light Immortal, Juying. 

Astute, charming, and an absolute sweetheart. The sparkling jewel of heaven. Or so they say. 

Runyu reserves his suspicions of what might lurk under the Light Immortal's whimsical, exuberant persona and the warm, enchanting smile she keeps turned to the world. Perhaps the calculating and ruthless emperor might have finally met his match... 

Manipulate, or be manipulated. To bestow favour, or to callously punish. Trust in her innocence, or realize her insolence. In a court of hypocrisy and cruel mind games, and a Light and Night Immortal as disparate as Yin and Yang at the centre of it all, the non-refundable cost of admissions is a heart. 

Winner takes all, and the loser only makes one mistake. Who shall bear the catastrophic consequences?

Remembering You For Eternity by runexi

[[Book 2 (FINAL book) of "One Lifetime is Never Enough"]] "I would have waited for you forever." The lament of a faraway voice that she had missed - that she had been longing to answer to - echoed in her mind. "But, you are no longer here." The despairing sigh was a muted murmur - clawing at her, begging for her to respond. But she was there, here, wherever the voice was. But then again, she might as well was not. She could no longer see, could no longer reach him. The voice sounded so near, but it was also as far as another world she could no longer be in. Nevertheless, she could still feel, in the darkness that was cradling her non-existence; the agony she felt in her non-beating heart, in her dormant soul, it was all due to her longing. For the owner of the voice. For him. The voice kept begging in agony - tormenting her, tormenting himself. And she could not do anything. "Please wait for me." "Please remember me." "Why... why can't I see you?" "Won't you wait for me?" ----------------- For you, I will wait for eternity. This time, I will wait. This time, it is my turn to wait. So please, please just let me find you. Please, be there when I find you. Please, tell me that you are still mine. That I still exist, perhaps not in your memory, but etched in your very soul. Like you have been deeply engraved in mine, lingering like a beautiful illness I will gladly bear and succumb to. Because, I will search to all corners of this world, and wait until the end of days. For you. Because, this world will always be wretched without you. And then, I will always, forever, bloom. For you. -----------------

The tale of the fox and the dragon egg

69 parts Complete Mature

He stared at it. Not believing for many minutes - because who would trust him with this? His friend must have made a huge mistake. Or he had no other choice. Probably both. Wei Ying nibbled at his bottom lip, edging and almost drawing blood. Even when he was millenniums old, he felt like a child again. He wished his shijie was here with him. He wished it all the time. With one long gaze into the night sky he sighed, already accepting. Determined. The pure white egg before him pulsating with qi was the only thing keeping him from breaking down. _______________________ Wei Ying finds a wounded dragon inside his woods, death already looming above. In its last moments it gifted the fox something precious. An egg, in pure Lan white. The lonely fox had no idea what this egg would bring him. Or who searched and found them both in the process. ************* Cover by @KariyaFuzuuke
