    Summary

    [So far, he has deduced that the smooth voice belongs to a man who is: an extremely powerful ghost, friends with another powerful ghost who owes him an ungodly amount of money, the owner of (or at least working in) a casino, in love with someone he calls “Your Highness,” and very very sad about not being able to find whoever he’s in love with. Altogether, Xie Lian thinks this “terrifying creature” was oversold.]

    Or: Xie Lian is cursed to hear the thoughts of "Crimson Rain Sought Flower," whoever that is. He's not particularly bothered by it, but something about the ghost seems familiar...

    Summary

    [The scream he lets out is inhuman. It’s a sound that reaches the heavens, shakes the ground there. A sound so horribly stricken, so laden with grief that every animal for miles around- silenced initially by the powerful ghostly aura that trod through the fields- now howls along. There will be myths surrounding that sound, about the animals’ cries, about how every human who heard it burst into tears that were not their own, but for now all that exists is a mourning ghost and the breathing corpse of a god.]

    Or: another Xie Lian prays to Wu Ming in the coffin fic.

    Summary

    Xie Lian wants to apologize to Wu Ming and see if his soul is still lingering so he performs a ritual to summon the ghost.

    Things don’t go as planned.
    -
    He draws the array carefully, with all the hopes and regrets of the centuries poured into it. He checks every corner, every detail, every character for errors and finds none.

    It’s time.

    Zhong yuan only lasts a night and Xie Lian cannot waste this chance.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng’s flight gets off to a bad start when the airline arbitrarily gives half of his first class couple’s pod to a stranger. To add insult to injury, he arrives back to his seat only to find that the intruder has mistaken Hua Cheng’s jumper with the plane’s pyjamas! Before he can kick up a fuss, though, something in this man’s face strikes him as familiar…

    Wait a second, isn’t this the super cute guy from the last video that Hua Cheng watched while at the lounge before the flight?

    Summary

    "Your Highness, forget everything I told you... I don't care how I serve you. I would be happy to take every enemy's blow for you. I would be happy to be your guard dog to keep you safe. I would be happy to clean your boots and wash your robes. Bathe you and comb your hair in the mornings... And yet... do not believe me, Your Highness, do not believe me. I want more. I have always wanted more... Please, forgive me."

    (Xie Lian listens to 800 years' worth of Hua Cheng's accumulated prayers).

    A soft chuckle escaped him, his left eye still shining. “Though I don’t mind if gege calls me his gege either.”

    Or: Xie Lian accidentally finds himself flung back in time, and the first thing he does is flirt with his husband. Who's currently not yet his husband, but hey, those are just technicalities.

    Summary

    Xie Lian was what people would call weird for paying for innocuous services at a brothel rather than an inn, because if he could afford tea and a table, shouldn’t he prefer a place without any sexual proclivities? But the best part about visiting brothels was that no one would ever recognize him if they were looking! Xie Lian would never be caught dead in one of those establishments, right? And when he was injured, as he often was, waiting to feel better was easier when he could listen to gentle music in a warmly atmosphere!

    Yes, the atmosphere was designed to lure men into beds! No, Xie Lian didn’t want a bed or anything like that! He wanted tea, a small table in the corner of whatever room the singers were performing in, and something to lean on as his vision spun from the aftermath of falling off a cliff! Funnily enough, while no one had ever sought him out before—nor did he drink in these places—there was a first time for everything!

    Why was there a youth at his table looking at him like that?

    (or: xie lian frequents brothels, which would definitely be a shock to anyone who once knew him. similarly, he’s frequently injured. these things occur simultaneously more often than not!)

    Summary

    “You’re ridiculous.”
    “You’ve dated worse.”
    “San Lang! That’s rude!”
    “That’s true,” Hua Cheng parries mercilessly. “I haven’t even finished the retrospective of all the trash you’ve collected—would you like me to go on?”

    aka Xie Lian hasn't had any luck in his relationships, but he has a goal in mind, and won't be deterred. That is, until Hua Cheng snaps.

    As he rounds the corner to the front of Puji Shrine, he's taken aback to see Nan Feng standing outside the shrine's open door with his sword drawn. "Nan Feng?" he calls, and Nan Feng jumps.

    "Oh!" he says, recognizing Xie Lian. "There you are! Your highness, you shouldn't enter — there's a demon inside!"

    Xie Lian frowns at him. "I'm aware," he says. "He stayed the night."
