Zhao Yunlan loves his Shen Wei but that doesn't mean his heart doesn't hurt at the thought of leaving this Shen Wei behind.
Title is from Grace Vanderwaal's 'Moonlight'.

Destiny is cruel.
Handling false hopes and scattering shards of broken dreams.
Feeding of remorse and dwelling in regrets.
But to some lucky souls, she can prove herself to be merciful.

The sun's rising early on their first morning after.

Shen Wei understood power. It was, he thought, why he was here. Why Zhao Yunlan had asked him. Because he understood power, not just as some abstract concept, but concretely, intimately, the heavy cloak of it a familiar weight he’d carried for centuries. Shen Wei knew how to wield it, like a weapon, like a caress, and he knew how easy it was for that use to turn to abuse.

Tonight, Zhao Yunlan needed him to wield that power on his behalf. And that was the easiest thing of all. The easiest and the most dangerous.

Shen Wei is not your baby.

Zhao Yunlan - betailed theater actor, gang-member, adventurer, and professional tease, flirts with the mysterious Black Mage that wound up in their company.

Zhao Yunlan was so gone for Shen Wei, it wasn’t even funny, no matter how amusing Damn Cat found it. And that was before he figured out that the mild-mannered Professor and the powerful Black-Clad Envoy were one and the same.

When he shuts his eyes, all he sees is Shen Wei, his gaze sharpening into challenge, that little smile of feigned innocence. “But how did you know my bedroom has a window like that?”

A year later Doctor Cheng Xinyan remembers.

The brothers haven't seen food in days.

It's just a small wound, barely more than a graze, but Shen Wei acts as if Zhao Yunlan might be dying.

Ye Zun hasn't met Zhao Yunlan yet, but he already hates him. Shen Wei hasn't been the same since he met the rookie police officer — the smiling isn't a problem in itself, but Ye Zun isn't used to having to share those smiles. It's Ye Zun's job to tease them out of his brother. He doesn't like that some cop they barely know can do it, too.

Allied Dixing turned a blind eye to any and all indiscretions committed by the foreign General Kunlun. The Black Robed Envoy owed Kunlun his life, so the Dixing forces would never speak against him. The Envoy defended his people with every power he had, and they followed without question.

They followed both the Black Robed Envoys, not that everyone believed there were two of them.

Zhao Yunlan realizes that Shen Wei is the Black-Cloaked Envoy. This leaves him with only one option: seduction.

Hands, put your empty hands in mine
And scars, show me all the scars you hide
And hey, if your wings are broken
Please take mine so yours can open too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you
