    Summary

    What the hell had gotten into him?

    Hua Cheng continued to pace between the trees, trying with increasing frustration to sort through the waves of discomfort rising in him. He'd slipped away from Puqi village to find some privacy, maybe train for a little bit to work out some of whatever the hell had gotten into him, but nothing seemed to be helping.

    Furiously Hua Cheng rubbed at the side of his neck, if only it would stop prickling, if only it would….

    It…

    No

    NO

    FUCK

    The moment he became aware of what he was doing, what his hand was rubbing, everything snapped into horrible clarity.

     

    Or when a mysterious series of events causes Hua Cheng to go into unexpected heat, there's suddenly very little he can do to stop Xie Lian from learning the truth about the "curse" he's under ...or all the other secrets that go with it.

    Summary

    The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.

    Red, Xie Lian finally names it.

    -

    In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.

    His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.

    Summary

    When Hua Cheng lost his omega characteristics upon death, he couldn't have been happier. Indeed, he gleefully kicked them aside like a child trashing a hated calligraphy set. Why mourn something that would only have gotten in the way of helping His Highness?

    Then, one day in Ghost City—Hua Cheng wakes up with cramps.

    Summary

    He Xuan starts coughing so loudly and so violently that for a second Xie Lian loses track of reality, and thinks it was He Xuan who got buried under what feels like half a mountain, and not Xie Lian. It’s only as he tries to get up, alarmed, that the pain shoots through his body and reminds him why that would be a terrible idea. A grunt of pain must escape him, because He Xuan pushes him down again. This time, he leaves his hand on his shoulder, a constant reminder to “stay the fuck down, dianxia, fucking idiot.”

    “You sounded like you were in pain. Are you sure you weren’t hurt in the collapse?”

    “It really is very galling to be fretted upon by a man who is bleeding half of his intestines unto the floor.”

    (or: Xie Lian and He Xuan end up trapped in a cave together, and Xie Lian won't stop saying upsetting things. It's probably the concussion.)

    Summary

    As he rounds the corner to the front of Puji Shrine, he's taken aback to see Nan Feng standing outside the shrine's open door with his sword drawn. "Nan Feng?" he calls, and Nan Feng jumps.

    "Oh!" he says, recognizing Xie Lian. "There you are! Your highness, you shouldn't enter — there's a demon inside!"

    Xie Lian frowns at him. "I'm aware," he says. "He stayed the night."

    --

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng talk things out a little.
