Summary
After getting lost in Ghost City, Xie Lian bargains away years of servitude to the Gambler’s Den to help a man in need. He dons the robes of a worker and hides his face and life behind an enchanted mask, protecting himself from the city's denizens. Xie Lian finds an unexpected home in Ghost City before he ever sees the lord of it, the infamous Hua Cheng. When he finally does, something about himself seems to catch the attention of the Ghost King, slowly striking up an unusual friendship. Xie Lian must figure out how to navigate his burgeoning feelings, how to keep his identity to himself, and how to get over a ghost so clearly in love with someone else.

Summary
“The first stroke, the commitment, is always the most difficult part,” he murmurs, eyes on his paper.
Xie Lian takes it as an invitation and steps into the room. “What about deciding which stroke is the last?”
“My art never quite compares to my subjects, so I don’t worry myself with perfection.” With that, he puts brush to paper and inks his first stroke.

Xie Lian needs a room for the night in a new city and is humbly directed to the one ghost who can fulfill any wish if you're willing to play.

Summary
Deep down, he is certain he should not be allowed to have this. But he was selfish since he was a child and now he is also greedy. He takes hold of his god’s hands, the warmth giving him confidence—if he has a chance, he will grab it.
So Wu Ming takes a step closer.
“This humble believer would gladly give his god everything he has,” he declares. “If Dianxia… would be willing to take it?”
The last part clearly wasn’t supposed to come out as a question, but Xie Lian was smiling so brightly and sincerely that Wu Ming’s tone rose with surprise.
“Only if this precious believer also takes everything I have,” the god replies.
___Or,
Xie Lian wakes up to find his husband shifted into his Nameless servant from the past. He decides to spoil him with affection.
