Summary
Rumi looks down. “Your soul,” she whispers mournfully, enraptured by the blue light trickling out of his chest. “It’s beautiful.”
Jinu smiles.
Gently, he presses his forehead against hers. Rumi jolts, eyes widening, but to his relief, she doesn’t pull away.
“My soul,” he echoes softly. “It’s yours, now.”
Rumi opens her mouth, but no words escape her as she gapes at him. A tear cascades down her cheek.
“It’s mine to give, and yours to take, if you’ll have me.” His vision is blurring, and so he lets his eyes fall shut, allowing the darkness to encompass him. He forces himself to believe that the lull of sleep is accepted of his own volition.
His cheeks tingle. Rumi is holding onto his face. “No, no, no—” she grits out. Her voice is growing distant. “Stop. You can’t do this to me.” The words rush out of her in a frenzy, full of haste and distress. “Jinu.”
“Rumi,” he responds in a broken murmur. “Thank you.”
She was right. Gwi-Ma could be defeated.
He should have listened to her.
(Or: A fix-it/time-travel au where Jinu goes back to the very beginning of the story and sets things right.)

Summary
Amid the ashes of a ruined world, a dark sword offers a path forward, and a lost soul heeds its call...
One ordinary day, a few years after the Qing generation's ascension to lead Cang Qiong Mountain sect, a tired and worn Yue Qingyuan shows up on the doorstep of Shen Qingqiu's bamboo house uninvited with a surprising and unexpected confession that shatters Shen Qingqiu's worldview. This, however, is just the beginning of Shen Qingqiu's troubles, as he soon finds out that there is more to this Yue Qingyuan than meets the eye.

Summary
So. They were at the trial already, huh? And apparently the scum villain was taking the credit for burning the Qius to the ground, huh? As if he was there! Because Shen Yuan had been the one to burn that hell on earth to ashes.
Logically, walking into Huan Hua would be a stupid move. The kind that could throw him directly into the speeding bullet train of the actual plot, and worse, the stampeding path of one Post-Abyss Luo Binghe.
But he refuses to let his one moment of justice—true justice—be steamrolled over and credited to the scum villain. No way.

Summary
"I'm happy you're here, you know that?" Rumi says. "Not just for me, but for you. I'm really glad you got a second chance."
"I am too," Jinu whispers. "I would've died for you. I came so close—"
She kisses his knuckles again, eyes stinging a little. "I know."
He speaks in a rush, as if worried that she won't let him finish. "I'm glad I didn't. I like being alive. But—you gave me something so important, I didn't know any other way to give you something back. I didn't feel like I had anything worth giving, except my life, and my soul—I've spent so long just hating myself, wasting it, but if I could've given it to you—"
"Jinu," Rumi says, "Jinu."
"You gave me my soul back," he says wetly, squeezing her hand. "And now... I'm doing my best to take care of it."
Or: Rumi's demon heritage, Jinu's newfound soul, Zoey and Mira's love that now has a safe place to land. Everything is gentle, and everyone lives.

Summary
“The traitor, as you asked.” One of the guards bows to Rumi.
“Leave us.” Rumi says, in lieu of an acknowledgement. “All of you, leave us. I wish to speak with him alone.”
All of the demons in the room are quick to skitter away. They all know Rumi is much more powerful than them. None of them are willing to learn how merciful she is to those who wrong her.
Jinu supposes his fate will tell them as much.
(Or in a world in which Rumi embraces her demon side, kills Gwi-Ma, and gets stuck in the demon realm as their new ruler, Jinu has not gotten to make up for his betrayal and awaits their confrontation in a cell.
When he’s called to see her at last, he assumes the worst. After all, he had neither a good experience with people he’s betrayed or demonic rulers, why would this be different?)
