Summary
Xingqiu receives his invitation from Yae Publishing House to write a second novel and immediately recruits Chongyun to be his muse. After a series of fateful encounters, Xingqiu is finally inspired to write about the nature of love, pain, and loneliness; three feelings Chongyun knows all too well. Perhaps in observing the natural positivity of his muse's true heart, Xingqiu may learn what these things truly mean and extol the goodness of that warmly blessed soul to the world… he just needs to get that frozen ardor to open up first.
“I pray that my words shall vanquish whatever evils may plague my reader's inquisitive souls. Even – ”
“Even loneliness.”
A xingyun/chongqiu slow-burn epic on loneliness and its cure.
Expect extremely slow burn, confused pining, lots of emotional hurt/comfort, and shoujo-level relationship drama. This ship sails slow but we chart a steady course. [PART 1 COMPLETE] ( Updates paused indefinitely )

Summary
Xingqiu isn't too sure how things got to this point.
He's a smart boy, who excels in his studies, makes well thought out plans and negotiates effortlessly. So why, in the name of all Seven, whenever the topic is his feelings on romance, did he lose all composure?
Xingqiu blames a certain exorcist for it, as he feels the weight of his lies worsening the more he tries to convince his parents they’re dating. Why? Because apparently it's his ticket out of an arranged marriage.
And Xingqiu does not want to marry anyone that wasn't Chongyun.
Hopefully his friend will play along just long enough to get those ideas out of his parents' minds...
But what if it ends up changing their relationship permanently along the way?Or “the frustrating ordeal of watching two fools pine after each other in mutual, oblivious love”.

Summary
Xingqiu loves thursdays the best because he gets to see Chongyun come in and work right across from his desk, on the other side of the library floor. He dreams of the day his pining will stop being a secret and his wishes will come true. It looks like a long shot, a scream into the void. Until one day, it doesn't look as far and unattainable as it did.

The only real problem is neither have a model for their projects. It seems like an easy fix: Chongyun will model in the end of semester fashion show and in return Xingqiu will pose for a series of photography portraits.
