    Summary

    “You told me 'It’ll help someone I care about.' Who is that?”

    Xie Lian widens his eyes slightly, puzzled by the sudden question. “Why does it matter? Whether it’s a stray on the street or my beloved, it didn’t change the outcome. I still ended up here.”

    Hua Cheng’s brow furrowed deeply. The brush in his hand trembled, dragging a dark stroke across the page and destroying the half-formed character he’s been working on. “You must’ve cared for them a hell of a lot—to throw everything away without hesitation. To offer yourself to me so easily.”

    He locked eyes with Xie Lian. “But they clearly didn’t care half as much, did they? They let you walk straight into a pit of demons. They let you become mine. What kind of person does that to someone they love?”

    Or

    Everyone in Ghost City is cursed to lose all memories of Xie Lian. To break the curse, Xie Lian needs Hua Cheng to say "I love you" to him. What better way to get Hua Cheng to fall for him than to offer himself up as a bride?

    Summary

    “Has Crimson Rain really been allowing you to mistreat yourself like this?” Mu Qing sneers, “Disgraceful.”

    “???” Xie Lian doesn’t understand what Mu Qing means. Hua Cheng is gone. Dispersed. He hasn’t returned yet.

    “Speaking of, where is your crazy lover? I thought he would be here with you.” Feng Xin asks.

    “…” Xie Lian says. “What do you mean? Hua Cheng was dispersed. He hasn’t returned yet.”

    His heart aches, but he knows what they’re implying. That Hua Cheng is back. And he hasn’t come to see him.

    What if he doesn’t want to see him? Xie Lian quickly shoves that thought into the recesses of his brain.

    “…Your Highness.” Feng Xin begins slowly.

    “What are you talking about?” Mu Qing snaps.

    “Crimson Rain is back.”

     

    A Hua Cheng amnesia AU where Hua Cheng returns... with no memory of Xie Lian.

    Summary

    A somewhat very indulgent series retelling from an unreliable narrator, Hua Cheng, through his eyes starting from his young age being Hong-er. The start of the canon divergence when Hua Cheng never left Xie Lian's side willingly. He's always been there... And things aren't what it seems.

    Events that happen in the original series happen here but may be out of order, and some might be referenced in later parts of the work. The use of flashbacks will be very minimal. So it's best to walk into this series already knowing the original work and be open to canon divergences and small character tweaks (For Hua Cheng) after some character studies and theories in my head. (It's all brainrot your honor).

    Plans are to have each arc separated out for easier viewing than one massive long fic, some arcs may be shorter, others longer.
    This is Hualian focus series, so there won't be any BeefLeaf or FengQing here.
