    Summary

    But the slaughtered cultivators weren’t the only problem; the sabre had been carried all over the cultivation world by now, and brought devastation everywhere it went. Every crop failed to reach harvest within twenty miles of the weapon, drought followed it like a shadow, and there had been several cases of spontaneous madness in its vicinity, though it wasn’t yet clear whether they were linked or mere coincidence.

    ‘Zhanmadao…’ Feng Xin whispered aloud. He could picture the sabre so vividly in his mind despite not having seen it for over eight hundred years. He was certain it was the same weapon.

    Mu Qing died 800 years ago. Now, his beloved Zhanmadao shows up again out of nowhere, causing death and destruction to all who dare to touch it.

    Summary

    Amidst the blossoming recent developments of their relationship, Feng Xin and Mu Qing are summoned to investigate strange new occurrences in an island shared between their two southern domains. They quickly realize that the island holds secrets which may be beyond even their comprehension: declining worship, broken arrays, poisons, a cult leader, an atheist governor, inter-sect conflict, political instability, a vibrant red-light district, a mangrove monster, ghostly interventions, and a secret history which cannot remain buried forever....

    Feng Xin knows that he and Mu Qing are something. But is it love, or is Mu Qing only curious about one thing? And can they clear up their misunderstandings, or is courting Mu Qing a bad idea from the start, doomed to fail like his last great love?

    Mu Qing doesn't know what he wants. He knows that Feng Xin is attracted to him, but will Feng Xin stay by his side once he gets what he's after? Is it worth the risk of opening up, or is he putting his cultivation--and their current relationship--in danger?

    Title is from Li Yu's poem, My Idle Dreams Roam Far (Gazing at the South).

    Summary

    Feng Xin knows that even if Mu Qing wants to be f-f-friends with him, he would never accept Feng Xin's true feelings for him.

    However it only takes them 800 years, a truth potion, His Highness' birthday coming up, a pair of divinely crafted swords at stake, and a goddess with a liking for couple game competitions for them to admit their true feelings about each other.

    Summary

    It starts like every other fight. Liu Qingge lands one hit to Luo Binghe's every three, both of them bruising and collecting injuries like art. It drags on until the sunlight starts to fade, until they're both breathing heavily and covered in a fine sheet of sweat.

    And then Luo Binghe makes a mistake.

    It's small - just a minor misstep, an unfortunate shift of balance. Against any other opponent, it wouldn't mean a thing. Wouldn't make a difference. But Liu Qingge has been watching. Liu Qingge has been waiting for Luo Binghe to make a mistake for years. He quickly changes his attack mid-step, throwing his weight against the opening Luo Binghe's mistake left, and Luo Binghe falls. Liu Qingge falls with him, of course -he compromised too much of his balance with that attack - but he makes sure to end up on top, straddling Luo Binghe and pressing the flat of Cheng Luan's blade to his neck.

    Without meaning to, without thinking to stop it, Liu Qingge smiles at him, bright and genuine and triumphant.

    Luo Binghe's breath catches.

    "I win."

    ---

    ~Or~ The one where Liu Qingge actually wins a fight and Luo Binghe ends up getting a little hot for Shishu.
