    Summary

    Feng Xin finds himself kneeling, too, in front of the ghost. The talisman doesn’t even flutter, because there are no breaths to disrupt it where it lays, so he reaches out to lift one of the bottom corners.

    Carefully, he lifts his other hand and brushes some of the strands of silver hair; it’s soft, perhaps even too soft, but the likeness otherwise isn’t bad. His skin is pale and clear and even shows a faint flush across the cheeks.

    “Qing’er,” Feng Xin says quietly, and wonders if the ghost can even hear him under whatever spell the talisman carries. “... Is it you?”

    -

    A few hundred years ago, Xie Lian tried to get Mu Qing in to study cultivation at the Royal Holy Pavilion, and was denied.

    A few hundred years ago, Feng Xin met the former palace servant Mu Qing at a brothel after the fall of Xianle.

    Now, Feng Xin investigates a ghost that stalks and kills soldiers in the Yong'an capital.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of Mount Tonglu, Feng Xin attempts to build a new friendship with Mu Qing. However, Mu Qing is tightly guarding secrets of his own, including the secret of why he trains with his saber in the dark of night, why he’s suddenly weak enough for Feng Xin to accidentally injure him, and why he ascended with the weapon that killed his father.

    OR: a headcanon about Mu Qing’s zhanmadao that turned into a slow burn because these fuckers just wouldn’t kiss. Literally so rude of them, but would we want them any other way?

    Summary

    Xie Lian hadn’t given up. “It’s alright, though! We’ll just have to find something else for you to be worshipped for!”

    Mu Qing looked at Xie Lian quizzically. “Something else?”

    “Just like how Feng Xin became the God of Pleasure by a misunderstanding, you could also find a secondary domain of worship! Something that ghosts need or want...”

    “Like what?”

    Xie Lian cleared his throat lightly before he suggested, “How about becoming a God of Style?”

    After losing one too many spars, Mu Qing finds out that—due to new worshippers of Ju Yang in Ghost City—Feng Xin's divine power had become ever-so-slightly stronger than Mu Qing's. Mu Qing's solution? Build a following in Ghost City, too: bigger and better than Feng Xin's. The issue? Ghosts don't care for martial arts or war at all! Mu Qing would have to find something else to be worshipped for.

    Thus begins Mu Qing's life as Xuan Zhen: the God of Beauty.

    Feng Xin thinks he might die.

    Summary

    Mu Qing has a secret.

    Well he has many but that's besides the point.

    Mu Qing uses a female bathhouse. He hates bathing around men who are gross and vulgar.
    His delicate form resents it.
