    Summary

    During book 5, when Hua Cheng and Xie Lian are talking about the people Xie Lian trust most, the god tells Hua Cheng that there is someone that he trust over all other people on earth. This makes Hua Cheng very jealous as he tries to discover who that mysterious man is.

    Instead of being interrupted by Xuan Ji and Guzi, this time, Xie Lian does have the time tell him who that person is.

    They get together early because of it.

    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.

    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

    “You have a lovely home,” Xie Lian starts.

    He Xuan squints at him. “Get to the point.”

    “Right,” says Xie Lian, and he clears his throat. “I’m here because, well, you’re friends with San Lang.”

    He Xuan stares at him for a good five seconds. Then he turns around and stalks away. “If that’s all, you may leave.”

    Xie Lian needs help deciding what to gift Hua Cheng. He Xuan is the obvious choice.

    Summary

    “I’ll be back in a few hours, sweetheart. You stay here in bed, hm? I’ll just...San Lang?”

    Hua Cheng’s eye has shot open, his lips parting in obvious surprise. Xie Lian blinks, leans back slightly, and frowns.

    “San Lang? Are you okay?”

    One morning, Xie Lian calls Hua Cheng sweetheart.

    Summary

    Unimpressed, Lang Qianqiu crossed his arms. “Really, you should look at yourself. All she said was that we cardinal martial gods would have to share a palace for now; I don’t know why you’re making this into such an affair. It will take time and merits we don’t have to finish rebuilding the Heavenly Capital. For now, can’t we just accept that with so few palaces it’s only fair that we share?”

    Pei Ming, Mu Qing, Feng Xin, and Quan Yizhen all shouted, “NO!” in anguished unison.

    aka: a fic elaborating on Ch. 251: Aiyah! Cave of Ten Thousand Gods: "It was the truth, for the Upper Heavens had suffered great damage previously, and so a number of gods had to secretly beg the head of the Ghost City for help."

    Summary

    “Gege spoke of a few people, but he never shared the identity of the fourth person whom he trusts so wholeheartedly.”

    Hua Cheng cleared his throat as he mindlessly twirled his calligraphy brush. “As your husband, I believe it is important to become familiar with all the people gege holds close. So, does gege care to share?”

    Xie Lian was stunned. There was something he’d actually managed to hide from Hua Cheng! His eyes glistened with a rare twinge of mischievous delight.
    ---
    Or, Hua Cheng not-so-subtly tries to uncover the identity of Xie Lian's "mysterious", most trusted companion. Xie Lian takes the opportunity to tease him a little, but it doesn't go as planned.

    Inspired by one of my favorite scenes from Book 5 of TGCF!

Feng Xin comes across a mysterious bottle and quickly administers it to His Highness, but the strange liquid puts Xie Lian under a spell, and he latches on to Feng Xin with delirious passion.

    ---
    Or, a silly fic where Feng Xin scrambles to escape Xie Lian's spell-induced advances and then subsequently gets beaten to a pulp by a jealous Hua Cheng.

    “Some pain demands to be felt, Your Highness,” Hua Cheng said.

    It made Xie Lian sad to think that he was something of an authority on the subject.

     

    Or: Hua Cheng has grand plans for Xie Lian's eight hundred and eighth birthday. But their pasts have plans for them too.
