Episode 5: “I Should Kill You, But I’d Rather Bite”
Flashback intimacy
They were seventeen. Enemies by blood. Lovers by mistake.
Hidden lake behind the Eastern Palace. Ten years ago — a moonlit night of training swords and unsaid things
Young Qin Ziyan
You followed me.
Young Yan Jiuchen
You’re the general’s heir.
I’m the emperor’s son.
We were bound to cross blades eventually.
Young Qin Ziyan
Then draw yours.
Young Yan Jiuchen
[grins]
And ruin that pretty mouth of yours with blood?
Young Qin Ziyan
Try it, Prince, and I’ll ruin your throat instead.
They fight. It’s practice — until it isn’t. Wood blades snap. Fingers bruise. Ziyan pins Jiuchen to the grass, their chests heaving, sweat-slicked.
Young Qin Ziyan
You're smiling?
Young Yan Jiuchen
Your thighs around me. Your hand on my throat.
I didn’t know you liked this position.
Ziyan flushes. Jiuchen leans up slowly — not to escape, but to kiss.
Their mouths meet. Awkward. Hungry. Too fast. Too much.
It ends with teeth.
Young Qin Ziyan
You bit me.
Young Yan Jiuchen
You liked it.
Jiuchen wipes the blood off Ziyan’s lip with his thumb. Sucks it. Ziyan watches. Doesn’t stop him.
Young Qin Ziyan
I should kill you.
Young Yan Jiuchen
But you'd rather bite, wouldn’t you?
They kiss again — deeper, wetter. Jiuchen moans softly when Ziyan’s hand slips under his robes.
Young Qin Ziyan
What are we doing?
Young Yan Jiuchen
Betraying everyone who raised us.
Young Qin Ziyan
And each other?
Young Yan Jiuchen
Eventually.
Young Yan Jiuchen
The kiss turns desperate. Ziyan groans as Jiuchen straddles him. Their hips grind. The moon watches as innocence burns.
Young Qin Ziyan
Tell me to stop.
Young Yan Jiuchen
I dare you to keep going.
They don’t stop.
Clothes fall into the lake. Bodies press into grass.
Ziyan bites Jiuchen’s shoulder to muffle his groan. Jiuchen claws his back when he enters him for the first time.
It hurts. It’s clumsy. It’s unforgettable.
Young Yan Jiuchen
You’ll regret this tomorrow.
Young Qin Ziyan
I already do.
Young Yan Jiuchen
Then kiss me again before we ruin each other forever.
