    Summary

    Xie Lian remembered that there had been a time where rules felt like cliffs.

    A time when every misstep seemed to confirm that fate was waiting for him to fail again and again. He had learned to move carefully then, to weigh every action against consequence, to measure compassion against catastrophe.

    Fear had settled into his bones so thoroughly that even small choices had begun to feel dangerous.

    Hua Cheng dismantled that fear piece by piece.

    For years, his husband had encouraged every impulse, every reckless kindness, every softhearted detour that caught Xie Lian’s attention. If Xie Lian wanted to rebuild a ruined hut in the middle of the night, Hua Cheng brought lanterns and timber. If he wanted to cross a mountain to deliver a single lucky talisman, Hua Cheng walked beside him with amused devotion.

    Rules had always existed, of course but Hua Cheng simply regarded them as suggestions.

    or: Xie Lian ascends as a deity of motherhood and children- and dealing with heaven isn't so bad when you have a ghost king for a husband, and a god for a son.

    Summary

    After his second banishment, Xie Lian is taken captive by the royal family of Yong’an. Immortal and unaging, he becomes their divine possession- a prize passed from king to king as a symbol of Yong’an’s might and proof of Heaven’s favour.

    He endures decades of control and humiliation, until the birth of a child changes everything. Lang Qianqiu- son of Yong'an's queen, but Xie Lian’s by blood- grows up beneath the shadow of secrets, lies, and stolen names.

    Or: Xie Lian is Lang Qianqiu’s mother, but no one knows it, and he gets buried anyway.

    OR: If you are brave enough to make it through 8 chapters of extreme angst and trauma you will be rewarded with truly egregious amounts of fluff, filthy sex and many happy hualian babies.)

    Summary

    “Have you frightened them all away?” he whispers to the okuri-okami, lowering his bow and letting its knocked arrow point to the earth. Ominously, the dark centers of the wolf's pale eyes roll up to meet his stare. “Only you are allowed to eat me? Is that it?”

    It gives no answer, of course. Suguru smiles, nevertheless grateful for the company—for no other ghastly, beastly resident of these woods would dare interlope on the okuri-okami’s marked hunt and steal its prey.

    Which is Suguru, apparently.

    While fleeing the Zen’in clan, Suguru takes up shelter in the shadow of an abandoned shrine, deep within forests said to crawl with all manner of monster. Soon enough, he finds himself with a strange, nightly companion: a great white wolf as liable to devour him as protect him.
