    Summary

    Shen Yuan wakes up to the sound of crying.

    He lies there for a moment, feeling like cling film stretched too tightly over something pointy, in danger of tearing down the middle but holding on by his fingernails. It’s dark, it’s smelly and he is laying face down against a heated stone floor, or maybe it’s just some faux stone tiles for the nature aesthetic. It feels like his brain got replaced with moss or cotton or balled up, wet paper towels that’s coming apart. In the stretched out moment where he takes it all in, he decides this fucking place sucks, and he will never visit again.

    The crying is to his left.

    -

    Shen Yuan wakes up in the Ling Xi caves, and he is not alone.

    Summary

    “My name is Yue Qingyuan,” he says, as if Shen Jiu is someone to be introduced to. His gaze on Shen Jiu is - intent, almost frighteningly so. Unblinking. “Are you really a servant here? Or a slave?”

    “Ah - I believe I can find that out for you--” Lord Xu is saying, already waving over his head servant, and Shen Jiu is so irritated that the man just seems to assume that Shen Jiu can’t answer for himself like he’s a dog or some other beast that he speaks up.

    “A slave,” he answers, and Yue Qingyuan nods as if this isn’t surprising.

    Then he turns towards Lord Xu and he says, “I will buy him.”

    -

    A rich and powerful cultivator meets a slave with nothing to his name, and decides to buy him on the spot. Why?

    Summary

    There’s something building up inside Hua Cheng, a heap of troublesome desires. They’re inconvenient, shameful, crude. They make his straightforward nature complicated. They’d be better off sealed away forever, if it weren’t for one big problem.

    When Xie Lian kisses him hard enough, Hua Cheng slips into a trance.

    Summary

    It took Shen Yuan a full week to realize he'd transmigrated into PIDW.

    In his defense, he'd woken up to a sky filled with blood rain, raging walls of hellfire, and a shadowy thing trying to take a bite out of his leg. He'd had to hit the ground running (literally, because that shadow thing had been hungry and fast) and hadn't had much time to take in his surroundings.

    Luckily he was fast in this life. His strange new set of goat-like legs seemed to help with that.

    In which Shen Yuan transmigrates as an incubus, and everyone realizes it but him.
