    Summary

    Hua Cheng hears his beloved sing by accident. Against all odds it remains a one-time thing. Now he is desperate to figure out why His Highness does not sing around him. Because he must hear it again, his sanity depends on it. Even if it means stressing out Yin Yu (no big deal) or talking to the two idiots aka Feng Xin and Mu Qing (annoying).

    Summary

    “Do you really mean it? You’re not going to bury me alive, stone me, or throw me into the sea?”

    Hua Cheng froze, his usually composed face turning pale. His voice dropped to a deadly fury as he asked,

    “Who did that to you? Tell me, and I—”

    “Hua Cheng,” Xie Lian interrupted softly, his grip tightening slightly around the hand still holding his. He took a shaky breath, his heart pounding with both fear and hope.
    “I… I want to go to your city. Will you take me there?”

    His voice was small, his golden eyes lowered, cheeks faintly pink.

    Hua Cheng didn’t answer at first.

    He just stared, as if the world had stopped moving.
    Then, finally, he smiled—slowly, softly, like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

    “Of course,” he said.
    “It would be my greatest honor.”

    After his second banishment, Xie Lian was cursed by Bai Wuxiang to survive only by consuming blood.
    Overwhelmed by guilt and self-loathing, he is discovered by Hua Cheng, a mysterious ghost king who offers him sanctuary in his city. Despite his shame, Xie Lian accepts the offer, hoping to find a place where he truly belongs.

    Could this be the home he’s been dreaming for all his life?

    Summary

    “My name is Xie Lian.”

    He Xuan’s eyes widened so far they looked like they would pop out of their sockets. Though his expression quickly changed, growing darker and morphing into a look of pure terror.

    He Xuan whispered, “Fuck…”

    -

    When Xie Lian washes up in Black Water Sinking Ship's domain, instead of being boiled and eaten alive, he makes a new friend who tells him all about the four calamities. And he finds the story of Crimson Rain Sought Flower particularly interesting.

    Summary

    The first time He Xuan eats Xie Lian’s food, it tastes awful.

    He would dismiss it as simply bad cooking if it were not for one small detail.

    He no longer cared what it was that he ate, so long as it was food.

    -

    He Xuan actually can eat Xie Lian's food, and it was only Hua Cheng doing something to it that made him sick at the end of volume 3.
