Summary
“You do not wish to marry this man,” Sesshoumaru said.
“I promised him I would.”
“A simple slip of the tongue should not bind you for life.”
Rin picked at her fingernails. “It wasn’t--it wasn’t impulsive. I thought about it.”
She had thought about four motherless children who seemed to thrive when she gave them attention. She’d thought about a lonely man struggling to juggle his responsibilities to the village and his responsibilities at home. She’d thought about how Daisuke was well-liked, well-respected, and quietly pitied among the villagers.
She’d thought about how much lighter burdens became when they were shared.
And she’d thought about that youkai.
“You have no wish to be his wife.”
Sesshoumaru had never had this much to say about husbands and wives before.
*
When Rin stumbles into an unwanted engagement with a human villager, Sesshoumaru's solution is to abduct her. Hopes quickly dashed that this is the grand romantic gesture she's been longing for, Rin will have to fight for her future.
What does she want, and what is she willing to sacrifice to get it?

Summary
"From what I know of these kinds of arrangements, I'm supposed to provide financial support to you while you provide me with my desired level of companionship," Hua Cheng explained, "I'm not asking for anything intimate. And you're under no obligation to give me anything I do ask of you. I only want what you're comfortable with, okay?"
"Okay," Xie Lian responded, completely taken by this authoritative yet compassionate side of Hua Cheng.
"I know that you don't expect gifts, but there is nothing that would make me happier than buying you nice things and seeing your breathtakingly beautiful smile when you receive them," Hua Cheng grinned as Xie Lian tried to stifle the smile such sweet words elicited, "There it is. You wouldn't begrudge me such a simple pleasure, would you?"
--
AKA: The one where Xie Lian seeks financial aid from a pretty older man and soon learns things about himself.

Summary
Xie Lian hadn’t given up. “It’s alright, though! We’ll just have to find something else for you to be worshipped for!”
Mu Qing looked at Xie Lian quizzically. “Something else?”
“Just like how Feng Xin became the God of Pleasure by a misunderstanding, you could also find a secondary domain of worship! Something that ghosts need or want...”
“Like what?”
Xie Lian cleared his throat lightly before he suggested, “How about becoming a God of Style?”
After losing one too many spars, Mu Qing finds out that—due to new worshippers of Ju Yang in Ghost City—Feng Xin's divine power had become ever-so-slightly stronger than Mu Qing's. Mu Qing's solution? Build a following in Ghost City, too: bigger and better than Feng Xin's. The issue? Ghosts don't care for martial arts or war at all! Mu Qing would have to find something else to be worshipped for.
Thus begins Mu Qing's life as Xuan Zhen: the God of Beauty.
Feng Xin thinks he might die.

Summary
When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.
It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
Xie Lian has a plan.
“Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
His voice caught.
“I mean, to—”
Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
“As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”- Language:
