Summary
“Good morning, Dianxia,” Hua Cheng murmured, a hint of a smile returned to him by his own image in the mirror. He put down the brush next to the ornate pyxis of cinnabar clay and thoroughly checked his reflexion.
The flex of his fingers on the mahogany handle of the brush, the drag of the bristles on his skin, the scrape of the lid encrusted with mother of pearl against the edges of the box as he closed it and the smear of rouge the movement always left on his fingertips were moments repeated slowly morning by morning, each a step in the ancient ritual of making himself worthy of his God’s gaze. The water that flowed through the fibers on the head of the brush ran tainted red as a blood sacrifice and the incense on Xie Lian’s altar burned.
or: Hua Cheng prays to Xie Lian every day, sharing ordinary moments and heartfelt confessions with the beloved that cannot hear him.
Coming out of the coffin in Yong'An Xie Lian starts to hear the loving and harrowing prayers of a devoted ghost.Bookmarked by none_4_a_name

Summary
Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.
Faith.
His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.
"I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.
I remember you.
I remember you.
I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.
(A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)

Summary
The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.
Red, Xie Lian finally names it.
-
In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.
His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.
