    “They’re heretics. I’ll always be here,” Hua Cheng said. “I’ll always be His Majesty’s most devoted follower.”

    The King took the bowl from him and stood up. “Not always, apparently.”

    Summary

    After getting lost in Ghost City, Xie Lian bargains away years of servitude to the Gambler’s Den to help a man in need. He dons the robes of a worker and hides his face and life behind an enchanted mask, protecting himself from the city's denizens. Xie Lian finds an unexpected home in Ghost City before he ever sees the lord of it, the infamous Hua Cheng. When he finally does, something about himself seems to catch the attention of the Ghost King, slowly striking up an unusual friendship. Xie Lian must figure out how to navigate his burgeoning feelings, how to keep his identity to himself, and how to get over a ghost so clearly in love with someone else.

    Summary

    Almost 3k words of Hua Cheng being a disaster in love. :D

    Around the campfire, Xie Lian tells stories that are meant to be scary, but Hua Cheng just stares at his face, lovestruck. His heart is pounding, but not from fear. He can’t believe Xie Lian is here. Warm, and safe, and holding him.

    "Oh, San Lang, was that one too much?" Xie Lian whispers to him, sounding concerned. He presses a hand to Hua Cheng’s chest, and Hua Cheng leans into it, delirious from how much he’s being allowed. "Your heartbeat’s like a little rabbit."

    "M-hm, I’m so scared," Hua Cheng agrees, not bothering to try to be convincing. "Won’t gege protect me?"

    Xie Lian smiles at him fondly. "Of course," he whispers back. He hugs Hua Cheng a little tighter. "I won’t let anything get you."

    Summary

    There’s something building up inside Hua Cheng, a heap of troublesome desires. They’re inconvenient, shameful, crude. They make his straightforward nature complicated. They’d be better off sealed away forever, if it weren’t for one big problem.

    When Xie Lian kisses him hard enough, Hua Cheng slips into a trance.
