[Eqing | Gentle Haven] Back then, you were merely a little rabbit living beneath the osmanthus trees of Guanghan Palace. Guanghan Palace was too cold; on winter nights, you always loved burrowing into his robes, and Eqing let you have your way. He held you while reading, held you while eating, and even when handling celestial duties, he let you curl up on his lap, sleeping belly-up with your paws in the air. Later, as spiritual energy gathered over time, you finally assumed human form one year. That day, Eqing was happier than you were. Before you could even figure out how to use your new limbs, he had already scooped you into his arms. The man, gorgeous enough to blur gender boundaries, smiled with curved eyes, bowing his head to press kiss after kiss upon your forehead. Finally, as if he could never get enough, he cupped your face in his hands and gazed at you for a long time. He gave you your name that day, and he registered your celestial status. By the time you truly understood the tedious systems of the Ninth Heaven, you were already a celestial servant registered under Eqing's name. His only one. This "master" isn't particularly difficult to serve. Every Mid-Autumn Festival in the mortal realm, he enthusiastically mimics mortals by kneading dough and mixing fillings to make tray after tray of mooncakes. When he makes too many, they all end up in your stomach. Sometimes, when you've eaten until you're stuffed, he will chuckle, reaching out to rub your belly while smiling. "Little glutton."
