    Summary

    There's nothing dearer to the citizens of Ghost City than their Chengzhu.

    But unfortunately, their lord is a busy man, who keeps coming and going without rhyme or reason.

    So what can they do in order to make sure that he's around more often?

    Why of course, they must find him a wife!

     

    Somehow, Xie Lian ends up in the midst of all of this, but the poor god was only trying to pay off a debt, he swears!

    Summary

    Xie Lian has found him...

    His Wuming, his last believer.

    He'd never expected him to have become a Calamity as well, neither would he ever dream of the devotion that the ghost still held towards him.

    But now he must make a choice-

    Will he drag Hua Cheng into his revenge plot, or will he leave?

    And what exactly has Jun Wu been doing for the past eight centuries?

    Summary

    The Crown Prince of Xianle had died fighting Bai Wuxiang.

    ...

    At least that's what they all say happened, but Hua Cheng has refused to listen to these tall tales ever since he'd come out of Mt. Tonglu to the horrible news.

    Completely unrelated to that, there's this ghost that's been going around helping anyone and everyone in need before he disappears into the nether.

    This is what happens when these two meet.

     

    Also please MIND THE TAGS, just in case some things in this fic might make you uncomfortable.

    Summary

    “Why would the fact that San Lang made these statues scare me?” Xie Lian asked.
    “Because he’s clearly been obsessed with you for over eight hundred years!” Feng Xin said.
    “I mean, I’d hope my husband was at least a bit obsessed with me.”
    Feng Xin and Mu Qing’s jaws dropped simultaneously.
    “Your… what?” Mu Qing asked.

    “All right,” Feng Xin said. “I get it. And then they…?”

    “Then they took him straight down and everyone said he was being offered as a sacrifice to appease Crimson Rain Sought Flower!”

    “I heard he was being sent as a bride!”

    “I heard he was being offered as lunch…”

    Xie Lian has ascended again! He gets shipped off right away to Crimson Rain Sought Flower for some reason! Feng Xin and Mu Qing accidentally lead a rescue expedition!

    ...It does not work out.

    Summary

    “I know you.” Xie Lian said. He stared intently at the ghost king as if he could will the other to meet his eyes.

    “You don’t. We’ve never met,” Hua Cheng said, head bowed respectfully. Xie Lian ignored the gasps and murmurs making waves at the ghost king’s reverence. After all, he had always been this way. Except…

    “Has my most devoted believer taken to lying now?” Xie Lian said.

    A flinch, and then finally that gaze met his own. Hua Cheng shook his head and then stopped, caught out.

    Summary

    It's not that Xie Lian truly wants to hide, but Ghost City can get a bit much.
    The residents are well meaning and kind, at least to him. But they forget personal space is a thing and so Xie Lian embraces the calm and quiet while he can.

    Or: Xie Lian is on a secret mission in Ghost City. The question is what is more of a secret: His mission or his relationship to a certain Ghost King?

    Summary

    Although Xie Lian did react with godlike speed, San Lang managed to move even faster than the god did. Before Xie Lian could snatch the snake with his hand, the red-clad youth already sprung in front of him, catching the outstretched limb and blocking the viper with his own body.
    “San Lang!” Xie Lian yelped, half-impressed for getting outrun, half-worried that the scorpion-snake might have attacked his companion.
    “Gege!” it was Tian Sheng calling out, his expression terrified.
    Xie Lian took a step away to see what had happened. The snake was hanging at San Lang’s side, both its fangs and the tail sunken deep into San Lang’s robes that were slowly changing their colour from crimson to a deep shade of mahogany, wet with blood seeping from the wounds.

    OR: Hua Cheng doesn't let Xie Lian get bitten, and it leads to an interesting series of events.
    This is part 2 of the series, but it can be read as a standalone. I would appreciate it if you read part 1, though. It's tiny and it's also about Xie Lian drooling at Wuming. Short story even shorter, Xie Lian fell in love with the ghost way earlier in the timeline.

    Summary

    So, instead of guarding the temple, Wuming had sneaked out to have a relaxing time in the lake. Xie Lian felt annoyed for a moment, but he couldn't blame the ghost no matter how hard he tried—he himself had come here for this very reason, hadn't he?

    OR: After White No-Face visited Xie Lian in the temple, the former prince woke up to discover that his ghost is not there. He went to look for a place to bathe and found out that he was not the only one who wanted to freshen up.

    Summary

    Having come to a decision, he took hold of the ghost and hoisted him onto his shoulder like a very large, very tall sack of rice. The ghost sucked in an unnecessary, shaky breath.

    or

    Xie Lian sets out to capture a ghost, and succeeds. It's just... a different ghost than the one he was after.

    Summary

    “I will do anything for you. Please let me follow you by your side.”

    At this, Xie Lian’s heart jumped in his chest. It wasn’t the unpleasant feeling of fear, but rather of surprise and something… Something he hadn’t felt in a long time.

    Could it be that, after everything that’s happened, someone will stay?

     

    Or: Xie Lian thinks about the people he’s lost and believes the nameless ghost will soon leave, like everyone else.

    Summary

    The Martial God of Death, Hua Cheng, ascended with little to no memory of his mortal life before godhood. What he did know was that he did it for…Someone. Someone so beloved and so ingrained in his heart that, even when he had lost all memory, he remembered he needed to look for them. Even without knowing who they were.

    With his mission in mind, he made an agreement with Heaven to allow him to stay in the mortal realm to look for that Someone.

    Except…he seems to have caught the eye of The Scourge of Heaven, the Lord of the Ghost City, and The Mad Calamity: Fangxin, the Crimson Sword Deathly Flower.

    Summary

    “This one is called Hua Cheng. I ascended and became a hypocritical god. Before that, I was a mere ghost spirit. Before that, I was a nameless soldier. And at the very beginning, I was a child and a disaster, born under an unlucky star.
    You called me Hong Hong’er, once.”

    Summary

    At 500 years since his death, Hua Cheng wondered about the ashes worn on his neck. Which ones were his? Where did the second ones come from? They were made from different bodies, that’s for sure. Whose body was he guarding alongside his? He didn’t know. And it’s not like he could just ask anyone. Ghost’s ashes were something personal, intimate. He just couldn’t do it. Not to someone, whose ashes felt so important.

    Summary

    There was a dead body.
    He was hugging Xie Lian’s dead body.
    A sob tore itself from San Lang’s throat when the realization finally stuck with him. Then another when he felt the already familiar pull of ascension. In a burst of panic, San Lang used spiritual energy to turn the body snuggled in his arms into ashes and then willed them to take a form of a diamond ring. The ashes mended themselves to his will very willingly then almost made his palm burn when he gripped them too tight. That was the last thing he did before he once again appeared in the Heavenly Capital.
    He stayed, this time. Somebody had to take care of all the trash up here.
    And thus began the story of Hua Cheng, later known as the Grieving God.

    Summary

    [So far, he has deduced that the smooth voice belongs to a man who is: an extremely powerful ghost, friends with another powerful ghost who owes him an ungodly amount of money, the owner of (or at least working in) a casino, in love with someone he calls “Your Highness,” and very very sad about not being able to find whoever he’s in love with. Altogether, Xie Lian thinks this “terrifying creature” was oversold.]

    Or: Xie Lian is cursed to hear the thoughts of "Crimson Rain Sought Flower," whoever that is. He's not particularly bothered by it, but something about the ghost seems familiar...
