    Summary

    Xie Lian has been imprisoned in the coffin for who knows how long. When he finally gets out, he's met with a slew of problems- and an unexpected friend.

    ----------

    XIe Lian lay among a patch of brush for days or weeks, he couldn’t tell, letting his body knit itself together and grow accustomed to the brightness of the world. When he confirmed he was whole and unwounded, he snuck out to a river in the middle of the night to wash himself or drown himself, whichever came first. He didn’t look at his reflection– he didn’t want to know what a horrifying sight he must have been. He submerged himself completely, trying his hardest to clean the dirt and blood and who knows what else from his hair, his skin, and his robes. The water ran red and brown, and he didn’t leave the river until several hours later, when the stench of dried blood had lessened enough to be bearable. He thought maybe he’d drowned in the water. He crawled, dripping wet and shivering, to a meadow hidden in the woods, where he lay hoping that the sun would dry him off tomorrow.

    It was there, the next day, that the red fox found him.

    Summary

    "Xie Lian hadn’t been prepared when it’d happened and as a result he’d been captured.

     

    If only he had been prepared, then none of this would’ve happened.

     

    It had been approximately twenty years of pure hell."

     

    Fifty years after his banishment, Xie Lian finds himself captured by bandits and subsequently sold into slavery. Xie Lian has a curse placed on him and spends the next twenty years suffering from extreme sexual and physical abuse. Life becomes pointless and painful and Xie Lian wishes he could end it all, if only he could die. Salvation comes unexpectedly one day when he is rescued by San Lang, the first person to show him kindness in so many years. Sadly, it seems Xie Lian is unable to fully escape his life of abuse as he grapples with the struggles that come with readjusting to the real world after so many years in isolation and that curse that was placed on him that seems to have cure he's not too enthusiastic about.
