Summary
Emperor Chan’s harem is an unforgiving place. More unforgiving than commoner-turned-concubine Hwang Hyunjin could have ever imagined. When the emperor rescued the beautiful boy from a life of poverty and degradation, Hyunjin thought the hardships of his life had come to an end. He quickly came to adore the man who had saved his life and was happy to offer his own life in return.
But when he is thrust into the politics and cutthroat agenda of the Forbidden City, naive and good-natured Hyunjin immediately begins to lose his bearings.
The more time he spends as a concubine, the less of the carefree smiling boy remains.
And the more Chan loves him, the harder his life becomes
...
To sum up, this is a story about Hyunjin became a concubine of Emperor Chan in Imperial Chinese setting.

Summary
“Hyunjin is dead,” Jeongin breathed. He looked up to see the others stare back at him with wide eyes, Hyunjin towering over them at the back, the light from the window in the hallway lighting up his figure. “They told me he was dead.”
Hyunjin's dark eyes found Jeongin’s tearful ones.
“Not dead,” Hyunjin said with a poisonous smile. “Just gay.”
Or: Jeongin has spent years mourning the loss of his first love, a love he was told by his church was sinful and wrong, but one he just couldn't stop from blooming in his chest. Now, years later, Jeongin meets Hyunjin again, very alive and also very different from how he used to be back in their shared church.

Summary
“Chan?”
The voice sounded distant and scared as the world slowly came back to him. Confusion hit him hard as he remembered what had happened.
“Channie hyung? Please. Chan, please be okay.”
“‘m okay,” he mumbled through the taste of iron in his mouth. Weakly, he spit out a wad of blood and then sucked in a painful breath as he opened his eyes. They were still in the dingy room and Hyunjin was still zip tied to his chair. His wrists were raw and bleeding and Chan thought that he may have been trying to get to him at one point. “Hurts.”
Hyunjin let out a choked sob as the flashes of those men beating the hell out of Chan hit him again. They were ruthless. “D-don’t move. They hit you so hard. Is anything broken?”
Or: Chan and Hyunjin find themselves kidnapped and trapped in a world of hell after traffickers grab them after a concert.

Summary
Hyunjin had started to feel an inexplicable restlessness in the city—as if the environment was stifling him. The noise, the crowds, and the fast pace had left him feeling more disconnected and drained than ever. It hadn’t really been a conscious decision to come here—more like he had followed a yearning he couldn’t quite explain.
--
Hyunjin moves to a small town and begins working as a florist for Felix. He has no idea that the stories about supernatural creatures living in and around the town are true—or that his boss is a vampire. What he’s even less aware of is that there’s a very good reason he’s felt out of place all his life.
