    Summary

    “Think, Your Highness,” the general walks closer, his voice a gentle caress over Xie Lian’s skin, “what can I take from you in a room like this? Where you hold no power, no strength, no escape.”

    Xie Lian backs away.

    “I don’t know!”

    The general shakes his head, “That’s not a proper answer, try again.”

    His foot hits the corner of the bedpost. He snaps his eyes to the bed, looks back at the general in front of him coming closer and back to the bed.

    His heart stops.

    “No…”

    The general’s head dips in motion to the bed, “Do you want to take another guess?”

    Xie Lian finds himself in a room with no way out after he was kidnapped in the middle of the night. He waits for the general who stole him to find out exactly what he wants from him.

    Summary

    And after losing everyone he cared about to either death or himself, Wuming was the only one he had left, and although there was a part of him that refused to get close, fearing to be left once more aching and on his own.

    There was a more insistent part, raw and desperate that clawed at his insides, longing to seen, to be held, to be loved.

    Xie Lian was the most unlovable creature ... second to Bai Wuxiang.

    But if the curse could work, if it could really make the ghost fall in love with him. Then he wanted it, he wanted the attention, the care, whatever the ghost could spare him, he was so starved of a connection he really didn't care what the ghost did to him, as long as he was gentle, as long as he was held.

     

    - Xie Lian uses a love curse on Wuming

    Summary

    A man in white cultivator robes stood on the threshold, hands shaking and eyes wild, his expression somehow both elated and desperate. Tears streaked his god's cheeks and the warm gaze he turned on the ghost made his mind go numb as his hand fell from the saber.

    Xie Lian lunged at him without hesitation and with few steps he was throwing himself at him with full force.

    or

    After coming back from dispersion Hua Cheng doesn't remember finding Xie Lian again on Mount Yujun nor anything that happened afterwards. When unexpectedly his god shows up at Paradise Manor hugging him and crying that he missed him Hua Cheng is a little surprised (he panicks).

    [NOTE: the works in the series aren't related to one another. I just love Amnesiac Hua Cheng...]

    Summary

    Hua Cheng, a porn star with many years of experience, has a collaboration with a newbie in the industry, Xie Lian. Surprisingly, a day before the shoot, Xie Lian asks Hua Cheng to meet up because he wants to meet the person he will have sex with, and Hua Cheng agrees as other porn stars he has slept with before have never made such a request to him. This makes him very curious about Xie Lian.

    They go out for dinner and talk a lot, but then Hua Cheng asks if Xie Lian wants to kiss and see if they are compatible. If they will look natural during the shoot. That's when something clicks between them and they end up having sex despite the day off from work.

    As it later turns out, this is just the beginning of something special between them.

    Or: Xie Lian teaches Hua Cheng that something as abstract as love truly exists.

    Summary

    [Spoilers for All 5 Books]

    “Don’t leave me,” Xie Lian begs, “San Lang, stay. Please.”


    After the final battle, Hua Cheng stays with Xie Lian. It should be good. Xie Lian should be grateful. He should be happy.

    Instead, he's terrified. Maybe it would have been easier for Xie Lian to believe in something he couldn't see than to trust in the strength of a silent, flickering ghost fire.

    Summary

    “Why is gege sitting like that?” San Lang asked softly.

    Xie Lian blinked his eyes open. He'd been falling asleep, his body still so tired from everything it had been through in the depths of the cave.

    “Hm?” How was he sitting? Xie Lian thought about it for a moment, and then he realised. Oh.

    He was sitting with his back against the maple tree, his head tilted slightly backwards and to the side to expose his neck, the insides of his wrists turned upwards, resting on his thighs.

    Xie Lian had trained himself to sit like that in the presence of vampires, so there was less chance of them pulling on and twisting his numb arms or hurting his neck.

    or

    After an accident, banished fairy Xie Lian becomes the unwilling guest of a sect of vampires. When another powerful vampire destroys the sect and takes Xie Lian home to help him recover, Xie Lian is faced with the challenge of convincing his saviour that he really really wouldn't mind if he were to drink some of his blood.

    Summary

    Xie Lian took a deep breath, and then started: “Would General Hua Cheng consider becoming my concubine?” he blurted out, feeling his face grow shock red. “I mean- what I wanted to say was- the ministers have been pressuring me to claim one or several, but I am against it. I also do not wish for General Hua Cheng’s competence and skill to be lost. The ministers cannot dictate my personal life and- it would be as if General Hua Cheng is my advisor, even if the title will be a different one.”

    Summary

    Suffering from a curse-mark and lacking his memories, the Crown Prince of XianLe find himself swaying to the allure of temptation…

    **Based on the Author’s Notes for the Amnesia Extra.**

    “But staying close to Hua Cheng was dangerous.

    All his life, maintaining his path of cultivation had been simple—a matter of retaining purity and resisting temptation. But, then again he had never been enthralled by that temptation, had never quite seen the appeal in straying from his path.

    Until now.

    The want Xie Lian was feeling was dangerous. If he stayed around much longer…

    Xie Lian wasn’t sure if he could refuse him again.

    He wasn’t sure if he would want to.”

    Summary

    It's 1986 and for Xie Lian, a deaf college student, the world keeps getting bigger. For the first time in his life, he’s putting himself out there and experiencing things his overprotective parents would never imagine, including four consecutive dates with Hua Cheng, a 21 year old Harley enthusiast whose laid back personality and fluent sign language make him irresistible.

    As overwhelming as his newfound independence is, Xie Lian is happier than he's ever been.

    All of this changed on November 12th, 1986 — the day he disappears without a trace.

    Xie Lian is kept bound in his captor’s basement — a man he cannot identify due to the mask he wears. When he manages to escape, he discovers he has been missing for nearly four years, and nothing in his life is the same. Worst of all, his captor remains a free man unless Xie Lian can find a way to identify him.

    Though his entire world has turned upside down, one thing remains the same: Hua Cheng’s affection for him. Together, they work through the events of the past four years to help Xie Lian come to terms with his trauma and find a way to catch his captor. It becomes clear before long that until the man is caught, Xie Lian is far from safe…

    Summary

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng lost, in the end. They lost, and then they were sealed, one room away from each other, separated by a curtained window through which each can hear the other scream.

    When Mt. Tonglu opens again, Hua Cheng--distorted, twisted, and broken by Xie Lian's suffering--is unleashed upon the chained Xie Lian in a last ditch effort to break the stubborn prince. Surely having his last believer, now a monster, rape the cultivation out of him will be enough to shatter Xie Lian's faith in humanity, won't it?

    ...Why does he seem so pleased?
