Jin Guangyao strode into the hall. Nie Huaisang exclaimed in delight as if he'd just sighted his savior. "San-ge, you came!"

In The Shadows

[frost-flower-fractured-ice]

I'm willing to be convinced about most ships but the only ship I accept about Nie Huaisang is unresolved sangyao. Your crush is first your servant, then a military person in your military sect's super special will-kill-you-eventually military and you can't do anything because his mother was a prostitute and 90% of people who don't think he's sick and dirty want to sleep with him. He knows this. You know he knows this. You're of higher status and rank. Both of you know this. Nothing happens between you. Then suddenly he disappears and when he's back his father (so far his biggest hater) suddenly wants him back and your brother has beef with him. You're like: well, this is much better though. And then he swears brotherhood with your brother and your brother's best friend, both of whom (to your dawning horror) most definitely have the hots for him. You are being little-brother-zoned. The world gets ruined a second time. He?? Marries a woman??? You're done for.

But still he comes with gifts for you, and mediates between you and your brother, and helps your brother, and sure you're not doing the stuff out of steamy books but it's worth being his little brother.

And then he kills your brother.

And even after your only parental figure, your only sibling, your last remaining family has perished at his hands, and you plot and plot to bring him to utter ruin, each time he holds you and helps you when you fall against his chest, your stupid, treacherous heart flutters.

Truly, Huaisang is a great beauty; Jin Guangyao had always thought so. He may not have the martial might that his clan is so famous for, but that has never been of particular importance to him. His rosebud mouth is quick to curve into delighted smiles, crinkling the corners of his sparkling eyes, and the fluttering of whatever exquisite fan he has in hand serves to perfume the air around him with the scent of his favorite hair oil. His hands are fine-boned and made for art, for creative endeavors, and Jin Guangyao would love him no less were they never to be callused by the heft of a saber, the hilt of a sword.

Those hands had been the first to touch him kindly when he’d joined the Nie, had been the first to braid his hair, had fluttered like the birds he so dearly loved as he’d shown Jin Guangyao his aviary—perhaps he’d been expecting a reprimand, a disapproval of his frivolousnesses, but such remarks were nowhere to be found: instead, Jin Guangyao (Meng Yao, then) had smiled as widely as he’d dared and told Huaisang that he was fascinated by the second young master’s vast knowledge of bird husbandry. Whatever fears Huaisang may have had evaporated like mist in the transition from dawn to mid-morning and he began to chatter animatedly once more, blind to the way Meng Yao’s hungry gaze traced his captivating countenance.

Those hands had also been the last in Qinghe to touch him kindly, clenched tight in the collar of his robes as he’d pleaded with Meng Yao not to leave. He can still recall the look on Huaisang’s face as he carefully peeled his hands away and told him not to anger Nie Mingjue anymore, because Meng Yao would no longer be there to take care of him.

Yes, Jin Guangyao had always seen Huaisang as a peerless beauty.
