    Summary

    His thoughts are interrupted by a crash at the door, Xie Lian falling through a hastily drawn distance shortening array, clutching a set of papers like his life depends on it. Maybe it does, Xie Lian has always had the unlucky trait of trouble following his every step.

    “Feng Xin,” Xie Lian says, breathless, “Feng Xin, Mu Qing left us letters.”

    “What-” He starts, Xie Lian pushes past him, laying the papers on the table.

    “Mu Qing he- he left us letters, Feng Xin.” He smiles, something happy and uncontrollable and full of longing, “they go all the way back to Xianle, Feng Xin, Feng Xin he left us letters.”

    or, Mu Qing dies, Feng Xin and Xie Lian are left to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    Xie Lian hadn’t given up. “It’s alright, though! We’ll just have to find something else for you to be worshipped for!”

    Mu Qing looked at Xie Lian quizzically. “Something else?”

    “Just like how Feng Xin became the God of Pleasure by a misunderstanding, you could also find a secondary domain of worship! Something that ghosts need or want...”

    “Like what?”

    Xie Lian cleared his throat lightly before he suggested, “How about becoming a God of Style?”

    After losing one too many spars, Mu Qing finds out that—due to new worshippers of Ju Yang in Ghost City—Feng Xin's divine power had become ever-so-slightly stronger than Mu Qing's. Mu Qing's solution? Build a following in Ghost City, too: bigger and better than Feng Xin's. The issue? Ghosts don't care for martial arts or war at all! Mu Qing would have to find something else to be worshipped for.

    Thus begins Mu Qing's life as Xuan Zhen: the God of Beauty.

    Feng Xin thinks he might die.

    Summary

    “So what’s the issue then?” Xie Lian asks.

    Feng Xin takes a deep breath in, lets it out, and then breathes in again. “What I’m trying to say is, I think I’m homophobic.”

     

    Or, Mu Qing starts going out on dates, and Feng Xin starts slowly losing his mind.

    Summary

    “Okay,” Jingyi says, as Sizhui puzzles this out aloud. “Okay! So the demon has been turning its victims into children.”

    “I think so,” Sizhui says.

    “To make them easier prey,” Jingyi says.

    “Yes,” Sizhui says.

    “So—” Jingyi’s voice cracks here, “this kid is Senior Wei.”

    Wei Wuxian, still tangled in his own massive robes, blinks politely at them.

    (Or: Wei Wuxian is cursed on a night-hunt, and the junior quartet rapidly finds themselves in over their heads.)

    Summary

    “New idea,” Jin Zixuan says, appearing out of nowhere as soon as Lan Zhan sets one foot in the door. “Garden landscaping—Yanli’s always complaining about how terrible and overgrown her backyard is. I could redo it, plant some flowers, maybe even dig a pond—”

    “Have you been lying in wait to ask me that all day?” Lan Zhan interrupts to ask. “Also: no. Do not dig Yanli a pond.”

    “Why not?” Jin Zixuan says. “Don’t you think it’s a good idea? Yanli’s always saying how much she misses the lake near her parents’ house—it would be a little piece of home!”

    Lan Zhan thinks of Wei Ying. He wonders if Wei Ying misses the lake too. Whether he might like a pond.

    Jin Zixuan is hopeless when he has a crush. It turns out that Lan Zhan is even worse.
