Scraps of memories. Scraps of love. Scraps of anything to abate a longing so strong that it feels as though his skeleton is trying to crawl out of his body at night when his arm falls across the empty space of his bed. A million thoughts race in his mind, the steady worth of

#Danheng will say he does not flirt. However, for those who have been on the receiving end of it—or at least they think they have been (Jing Yuan, looking at you)—they’ll say that Dan Heng’s style is understated and direct. The man’s been chased through star systems and has lived

way that no one really realises they’re being steered into a comfortable territory utterly controlled by the general until it’s too late—they’re already comfortably in the lion’s jaw. He’s always a dozen steps ahead and quick witted, silver-tongued, with his honeyed words lulling

Hence he covers himself up even on the hottest days - easy lies slipping past his lips because: obviously, he's the general and should dress the part in his regalia and all - but even when he's in casual wear (hello, hanfu pfp) he's still quite overly dressed. Usually, it's his

You have to find your fun where you can, and Silver Wolf is usually the one to suggest coordinated disguises for certain scripts. Kafka agrees with a quirk of her lips and a bemused giggle, going along with the girl's antics so long as it doesn't deviate from their parts given by

@luochaarchives I'm so glad I get to cry at 1:36 am! 😭 I juuust finished 1.4 and all my feelings are quite raw, but honestly-- all of this! 🥹 and the fact that they all return to the Luofu and take and take and take, and he's just there silently giving and not asking anything in return. AHH 😭
