Shiranui (n)
Unknown fire; an optical illusion of an atmospheric ghost light.

Bai Yu fell for an oiran at first sight, something he never considered doing, something that he rallied against but his heart and mind were set in Yoshiwara and he was determined to find out why.

And Yoshiwara was more than just a secluded Red Light District of Edo

[HIATUS]

Xia Yue decided to move to a new city in the hopes of starting a new life. As she contemplates where to live, a former colleague offers one—a haunted unit in the famous SNG Condominiums. With desperation to leave everything else behind, she accepted the deal and moved in the next day. A malevolent spirit lurking in there? Sure, it’s nothing to her.

Enter Shen Ye, a famous actor and model, was her neighbor. A man who swooned the heart of the ladies and evoked admiration in men. Despite only a few years in the entertainment industry, there were already many achievements attached to his name.

The mysterious neighbors began suspecting each other after their first encounter by their adjacent balconies. It was at this time that fate decided to play it’s part in their lives. A strong invisible force began to entangle the strings as everything else began to change—the scenery, inexplicable feelings, the uneventful situations they were both in, and Xia Yue found herself reminiscing her tragic past she ultimately wished to be forgotten.

Bai Yu owns White Space Cosmetics.
When he reached out to Yang Rong, the most successful beauty vlogger in China, with a business deal, he didn't expect to meet a person from his past.

The title is shamelessly stolen from Bai Yu's drama.

A typical unapologetic playboy meets the shy workaholic.
Bai Yu doesn't care for romance and Zhu Yilong doesn't believe in romance.
They act together in a romance drama of all things, and it becomes clear that they can't separate fantasy from reality.

He is light, dancing with laughter, sparkling like sunshine; sunshine mixed with a little hurricane.
Zhu Yilong wasn’t Shen Wei waiting for his Zhao Yunlan even if their first meeting felt that way.
Knowing he should not, knowing he should stay away, but Bai Yu was the wind under his wings, the air in his lungs and the light to his dark.
And like Shen Wei, Zhu Yilong will never regret his choices, because you don’t ever regret love.

“But I am not a qualified personal trainer,” Zhu Yilong says, frowning. He suppresses the urge to shift from foot to foot or to cross his arms. He is uncomfortable but there is no need to broadcast it with such obvious tells.
Bai Yu beams at him as if he’s just said something particularly clever. “And that’s why you will be perfect, Long-ge.”

Bai Yu and Zhu Yilong go on a date.

Getting together had been gradual but inevitable, Bai Yu realizes when he looks back on their relationship. It feels natural that they've ended up here, like this.

Trobadora gave me ten prompts, which I all tried to fill as best I could.

This is the extra posted explaining the cultural references in Shiranui taken from Edo Period and Yoshiwara of that time.

When you have someone so gorgeous, with an out-of-the-world beauty, sometimes you can't help but feeling like tainting them just a little bit.

Baiyu surely felt so.

“Thank you for showing me around Wuhan.”

Zhu Yilong blinks. “Since when were you so keqi?”

Bai Yu laughs. “I’m not being keqi. It’s just… This is your hometown, you know. The city that you grew up in and went to high school in and played basketball in. This is—a part of who you are. And I’m glad you shared it with me.”

Bai Yu and Zhu Yilong, singing out their love.
