    Summary

    It has been millennia since Xie Lian’s second banishment.

    Millennia since Hua Cheng—the scourge of Heaven, the Crimson Rain Sought Flower, the Supreme Ghost King—slaughtered 33 gods and turned his demonic gaze on the banished Flower Crowned Martial God.

    Xie Lian has eluded the Ghost King at every turn. For centuries. Hiding is all he knows. He’s gotten very good at hiding.

    Summary

    “It is said that there was a time when mortals could ascend to Godhood. Do you believe in such tales?”

    Hua Cheng has lived a simple and unassuming life as Head Curator at the National Museum until one day he encounters a relic, a small red pearl, which shows him glimpses of a past life he does not recall. The fleeting images are haunting and distraught but sparks an interest within him to look into a fallen kingdom which has been long forgotten through the centuries.

    Xie Lian, on the other hand, is trying to do everything in his power to make sure the remnants of his kingdom stay buried.

    Summary

    He’s not going to scream.

    He’s not going to scream.

    He’s not, He’s not, He’s not!

    Not when they force him onto the alter, not when they pin him down, not when they bind his hands.

    He struggles but there are so many of them and even with all his god’s strength he can’t break free. Just like last time… Just like… Just like…

    No, No, No, No,

    Not again

    Not…

    OR Xie Lian is captured by some of Hua Cheng's worshippers who decide to honor the ghost king by sacrificing a cultivator on his alter.

    Summary

    Xie Lian coughed.
    «Um», he rubbed his nose again, «it’s complicated.»
    Mu Qing shot him an incredulous look.
    «How complicated could it be? What, did you have a threesome or something?»
    «No, no!», Xie Lian waved his hands, then paused and added, «I think?»
    Both Feng Xin and Mu Qing’s head whipped towards him.
    «What.», Mu Qing glared.
    «You think?», Feng Xin repeated astonished.

    Xie Lian is on a week-long conference with the company he works for. After getting his heat unexpectedly early, Xie Lian wakes up with a brand new mating bite on his neck. The question is - who left it there?

    Summary

    Xie Lian gets a glimpse of its eye: a hot coal set deep into unearthly, marble-like skin, onyx pupil blown so wide with bloodlust it threatens to swallow the red iris entirely. A mouth full of entirely too many teeth, extended incisors bared like daggers. Rust smeared down the pale line of its throat.

    A vampire. A feral vampire.

    Looking at him like a feast set out before a starving man.

    While wandering the mortal realm, Xie Lian stumbles upon a hungry vampire who, curiously, seems reluctant to drink from him.

    Summary

    It’s been over a week since Xie Lian checked in which, for Mu Qing, is about the longest silence since the one that lasted 800 years. He should probably be glad for the quiet, but instead…

    Instead he calls in Feng Xin’s help, and goes to see what’s wrong.

    He should have expected this, honestly.

    Feng Xin and Mu Qing arrive at the house on Mt. Taicang to find Xie Lian 8 years old both in body and mind. The main problem? Xie Lian isn’t the only one who’s 8 years old. What are two gods to do with a Hong Hong-er?

    “Gege,” he whispers.

    Summary

    Xie Lian was in his senior year of being a law major and his reputation was impeccable. Renowned for his beauty, talent in dance, astounding grades, and polite disposition, his name was whispered about all over campus. He was practically flawless, and would have been even more popular, if not for how untouchable his love life was. It seemed the campus Crown Prince was completely uninterested in dating.

    Then he meets the sophomore upset, Hua Cheng, infamous for his wanton behaviour and easy smiles, in a cafe - and the rumours start flying.

    “Have you heard? The Crown Prince is having an affair with the literature department’s number one bigshot!”

    Summary

    Hua Cheng froze as his thoughts vanished abruptly. He was suddenly stunned stupid as he watched the memory play out below him, as he watched Xie Lian cup his cheeks and rise up on his toes to kiss him first. Though kiss wasn’t the right word, the prince tilted his head and slanted his lips to shove his tongue down his throat with passion.

    He kissed him savagely as though to eat him alive, his hands running heavily up and down Hua Cheng’s chest, fisting into his red robes to yank him up deeper into that messy kiss they shared. There was something feral between them as they tangled together on top of that stone altar, something primal and wild and chaotic.

    San Lang was so stunned, so shocked, he simply could not wrap his mind around it. Xie Lian seemed almost possessed as he gasped and moaned, steadily refusing to let that Hua Cheng up for air. There was so much heat between them, so much fiery passion it was a wonder the temple didn’t burn down to ashes.

    San Lang stared at the pair in the temple below him as his shock started to fade and instead a rush of mad jealousy reared up in his heart. Xie Lian had never kissed him like that before.

    Summary

    The village Hua Cheng lives in has a peculiar legend associated with it; even though the sea was forever tepid and calm, you were never to swim in its waters, lest you be pulled down and drowned by one of the mermaids who patrol its depths. When he was a child, Hua Cheng almost met that same end.

    Intending to slay one of the beasts and claim the bounty set on its head, Hua Cheng soon finds himself hopelessly drawn to the wanted merman and, in time, begins to uncover the true history behind his village and the curse which plagues it.
