    Summary

    The silvery glint of a blade was all Xie Lian saw before the unmistakable cold bite of metal pressed against his throat. Not again, he thought, slowly turning towards the hilt and the pale hand holding it. As he moved, the blade shifted almost imperceptibly, easing its vice just a breath as if allowing him to turn without cutting through flesh.

    The tinge of surprise he felt was quickly replaced by a rush of stupor when he lay eyes on the man who held the weapon tight in his grip. The Ghost King’s appearance truly was as formidable as they said.

     

    Or

    When confronted with the unexpected reasons behind the attack Hua Cheng's faith wavers for the first time in centuries and his undying devotion clashes with an undeniable, guilty sense of betrayal.

    Summary

    The song must have been about halfway through when he felt a soft touch on his head and turned to see Hua Cheng’s free hand gently caressing his hair.

    With a small sigh, the ghost took a strand between his fingers and played with it, rolling its ends over the red threaded finger. The white band that kept a portion of Xie Lian’s hair tied in the back was brought forward by the delicate movements and it too got entangled in the other’s hand. As Hua Cheng saw the white band snaking through his fingers his eye creased with longing.

    When he spoke it was an almost inaudible whisper. “You really look like…”

    or

    After his third ascension Xie Lian is sent on a mission in Ghost City, by the end of the night he finds himself on the dancefloor of a masked celebration caught in the embrace of a very lonely-looking Ghost King. In the effort to keep his mission going, things get unexpectedly steamy but when Xie Lian’s identity is brusquely revealed it is met with nothing short of anguish by Crimson Rain Sought Flower.

    Summary

    “Good morning, Dianxia,” Hua Cheng murmured, a hint of a smile returned to him by his own image in the mirror. He put down the brush next to the ornate pyxis of cinnabar clay and thoroughly checked his reflexion.

    The flex of his fingers on the mahogany handle of the brush, the drag of the bristles on his skin, the scrape of the lid encrusted with mother of pearl against the edges of the box as he closed it and the smear of rouge the movement always left on his fingertips were moments repeated slowly morning by morning, each a step in the ancient ritual of making himself worthy of his God’s gaze. The water that flowed through the fibers on the head of the brush ran tainted red as a blood sacrifice and the incense on Xie Lian’s altar burned.

    or: Hua Cheng prays to Xie Lian every day, sharing ordinary moments and heartfelt confessions with the beloved that cannot hear him.
    Coming out of the coffin in Yong'An Xie Lian starts to hear the loving and harrowing prayers of a devoted ghost.

    Summary

    Well, Xie Lian certainly feels fine. His spiritual energy reserves remain untouched. His physical form, as healthy as ever. And his mind, unfettered and free of worldly disturbances.

    There was only one slight… nuisance.

    He couldn’t seem to stop speaking today.

    Xie Lian gets afflicted with a particularly troublesome truth-telling curse from a malicious spirit. Hua Cheng deals with it.
