    Summary

    After spending a century nailed inside a coffin buried deep underground, Xie Lian is happy to have gotten out and even happier to have made a new friend, Yin Yu. Though when Yin Yu invites him to join a search he's been ordered to conduct by his boss, Xie Lian isn't sure what to say.

    Summary

    “I have nothing to my name, but still want to make a bet. What do people normally do at the Gambler’s Den if they have no money to use?” Xie Lian asked.

    The smirk on her face grew, but she humored him. “It depends on the way you bet. If you’re at a normal table, you’re out of luck. But if Hua Cheng is in, the bets he takes rarely have anything to do with money.”

    “Hua Cheng?”

    At his confused look, she outright laughed. “Oh boy, you’re in for it.”

    -

    Devastated from the tragedy that befell the small farming village where he lived, Xie Lian travels to Ghost City to ask for help at the Gambler’s Den. What he doesn't expect is for their lord to continue to follow him around, even when Xie Lian’s business in the city is complete.

    Summary

    Post-Canon
    After a prayer leads them across the mountains, Xie Lian and Hua Cheng's domestic life gets suddenly flipped upside-down. They find themselves chasing down a group of mysterious agitators from one end of the country to the next--putting out fires, saving civilians, trying to prevent an invisible force from cracking open the newfound peace of their world. Something sinister, and unfortunately familiar, is at work.
    Through all the turmoil, Xie Lian and Hua Cheng stick by each other's sides and combine their strengths to extinguish the last obstacle between them and their own version of "happily ever after."

    Or: Xie Lian and Hua Cheng go on an adventure to track down mysterious destructive ghosts.

    Summary

    Lang Qianqiu did not seal his teacher in a coffin, his rage was too great to merely seal away the source of his grief.

    In other words:

    Xie Lian needs a little help to put himself back together, in a very literal way. Hua Cheng would give anything to be able to.
