    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—”

    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

    “I think we should break up.”

    Feng Xin timed it so that Mu Qing wasn’t eating or drinking but Mu Qing didn’t react beyond raising an eyebrow. “Break up?”

    “Uh, yeah, because...” How are you supposed to tell someone that you don’t think they’re happy anymore? That you're in love with them and that they only see you as a casual thing? Mu Qing was stressed and he never let Feng Xin meet his mom and he never moved in. Mu Qing hated when Feng Xin said I love you, actually; he’d get tense and change the subject. The one time Feng Xin had tried to talk about marriage, he’d said Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

    “Fine.”

    --

    Feng Xin and Mu Qing break up. Turns out they're not very good at staying apart.

    Summary

    After Hua Cheng is called in to do a rather simple task at a rather decrepit home, he finds himself replacing more than just the carpet in Xie Lian’s home—for example: the stove, the cabinets, the walls, the roof, and his heart (in Xie Lian’s hands).

    Summary

    Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.

    Faith.

    His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.

    "I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.

    I remember you.

    I remember you.

    I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.

    (A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)
