    Summary

    “I know what you are,” says Shi Wudu.

    Immediately, He Xuan falls still. What? How did he find out? Hundreds of years of planning, each word and action carefully crafted…was it Hua Cheng? Did he sell him out? He’d only do that if Shi Wudu had information on that crown prince he’s so obsessed with, but there’s no way, right?

    “You,” Shi Wudu leans forward, resting his chin on his folded hands. The entire world around him goes still, and He Xuan’s eyes fall gently closed. “You’re in love with Qingxuan, aren’t you?”

    Silence.

    He Xuan’s head snaps up. “What?”

    Summary

    Beggars are among the ones who have not given up hope. Hands stretch toward her as He Xuan stalks through. Unfettered by her sharp glances, children, women, men...poverty is a great equalizer, and there is no one type of person that is immune from its effects. To prove that, around the next corner, sitting on a leg wrapped in bandaging, is the target of her dreadful walk through the Imperial City. 

    Shi Qingxuan, somehow, has not changed much in the past five years. His hair still curls, eyes are still bright, and somehow, despite the impossibility of his life improving, Shi Qingxuan has yet to break. As she approaches him, Shi Qingxuan folds down the hood on his head and smiles at her. 

    “Would it be strange to ask for spare coin?” he asks. 

    Instead of answering, He Xuan thrusts the xiaolong in his hand. Shi Qingxuan takes it, very carefully untucking the fragile arm from a makeshift sling. He uses enervated fingers to pull open the top, inhaling the steam that spills out.

    Summary

    After it all settled, Shi Qingxuan lives quietly as a beggar in a ruined temple in the Capital. Though someone never stops watching him from the shadows.

    When a certain Martial God keeps showing up to woo the former Wind Master, that shadowed someone grows restless, and jealous, finding it harder and harder to stay hidden.

    And Crimson Rain? He’s just tired of his fellow Ghost King sulking

    Summary

    Xie Lian is offered the throne of Yong'an by way of marriage to the young Lang Qianqiu: uncertain of what to do, he is offered a chance to leave the city to consider his options before he has to make the decision.

    In Ghost City, Hua Cheng hears rumours about the mysterious guoshi who carries the name of the cursed sword that dispersed him so long ago.

    Written for the 2024 TGCF Reverse Big Bang.

    - - - - -

    It is a split second, overheard briefly, but it is enough that Hua Cheng stops talking, flinching before he even realises why.

    He knows that name.

    How could he forget it, the name of that cursed sword wielded by that cursed calamity, the one Hua Cheng had held aloft with all of his strength, fingernails snapping on the hilt as the vengeful spirits tore him to pieces, tears of agony and pain for his god pooling behind the mask. It is a name he does not hear often, and it is enough to turn his head, his dark eye narrowing as he looks across the hall of the Gambler’s Den.
