    Summary

    [It’s something about the way he kneels. Hair pulled back in a ponytail, inky black as it cascades down his back, taking Xie Lian’s hand with such reverence. Xie Lian stiffens, gasps. His eyes fill with tears unrelated to the venom currently coursing through him. It’s been a long time since he’s cried from pain, after all.

    “You-!” Is all he manages to say before he starts to sob.

    It’s all the warning Hua Cheng gets before he’s tackled bodily into the hot sand.]

    Or: what if Xie Lian recognized Wu Ming when they were dealing with the snake bite hand sucking debacle?

    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.

    Summary

    Свет по-прежнему не воспринимается его глазами до конца, но ему кажется, что он помнит такое понятие, как цвет. Вокруг него много цветов, и он способен различать белое, черное и даже другое. Будто на новом холсте появляются живые, захватывающие мазки – там, где целую вечность не было никакого холста и вовсе. Это самое прекрасное, что он когда-либо видел.

     

    Красный, наконец назвал его Се Лянь.

     

    -

    Благодаря необъяснимой удаче Се Лянь оказывается спасен из гроба советника Фан Синя. Его чувства постепенно восстанавливаются. Все, кроме зрения - десятилетия, проведенные без воздействия света, повлияли на пределы его восприятия.

    Его благодетель и последователь, богатый и эксцентричный призрак по имени Хуа Чэн, не покидает его уже несколько месяцев.

    Summary

    "His Highness may call me anything he wishes."

    Xie Lian doesn't have the imaginative energy to conjure up anything meaningful for this stranger, so he says, "In that case, you might as well be Wu Ming."

    The ghost bows his head further. His shoulders sink slightly, less slumping and more settling into himself. It's like he likes the dehumanizing name.

    He says, "'Wu Ming' is perfect."

    Xie Lian's frown deepens. He tells him, "Pick a different one soon."

    _

    After Xie Lian is tortured in his own temple, he wakes up in the care of a freshly-formed wrath ghost. "Wu Ming" follows him home and, with his carpentry experience, medical knowledge, street smarts, and fighting skills, makes himself indispensable to Xie Lian's family.

    To protect Xie Lian from Bai Wuxiang, Wu Ming swears that he'll do whatever he must to get stronger, all the while becoming one more person that Xie Lian couldn't bear to lose.
