Nine Kites Gaze into Heaven

Two men, one soul-searing choice. Xiao Jin bears a twin-flame curse—every kiss ignites agony, every touch becomes shared torment. Across lifetimes, he's died by her blade again and again, shouldering her sins in silence. Yi Heng once planted ten miles of lotus in her name, but now the red bean heartworm devours him from within, twisting devotion into poisoned obsession as his soul fractures between madness and lucidity. She never wanted their next lives—only this one, where every moment burns with impossible love and unbearable sacrifice.
