    Summary

    Note: Should one engage a Lán-Shà Jǐn-Lóng in physical struggle, avoid the use of teeth. To the Silk Dragon, a bite is a vow of eternal union. They do not have a word for 'divorce,' only 'consumption.'

    To the Peak Lords of Cang Qiong, Shen Qingqiu is a licentious enigma with hair turned white by his own vices. They see the color of his hair as a tally of his failures; they do not see the ink-stained scrolls of his espionage network, nor the exhaustion of a man who has spent decades being the Sect's silent shield while they mocked him for the stench of the brothels.

    When a report arrives of a Lesser Thunder Shark terrorizing the northern coast of Lan Cheng, Shen Qingqiu seizes the mission as a lifeline. He expects a simple investigation to clear his head of the cloying scent of mountain incense and the stiffling life he longs to escape.

    He finds something far more dangerous: Qingge, a Storm-Wraith Silk Dragon, a tribe of Jiaoren who traded their pearl tears for obsidian scales and electric-blue lightning, a territorial hurricane god and nearly the last of his kind — the rest having been killed by Huan Hua nearly five decades earlier.

    Summary

    They say that somewhere in the Golden City a legendary beauty sleeps in a bower of rare flowers within a lush courtyard garden, ever-dreaming of the day the red string tied to her small finger finally pulls taut and draws her beloved to her side to wake her. Until such a fortuitous day, the honor guard of Huan Hua Sect watches over her as she rests…

    As a hobby, the minor scholarly god Shen Yuan has spent decades researching this legend to discover its factual roots — and tonight his efforts will finally be rewarded. He has located the courtyard, successfully bypassed the magical safeguards, and can now take a peek at the beauty’s face.

    His er-ge is going to have to eat his words for saying he’d been wasting his time. Shen Yuan can’t wait to rub it in!

    TL;DR: A SVSSS+HOB fusion fic where Liu Qingge is an actual war god, and transmigrated Shen Yuan is the little scholarly god that accidentally stumbles across him.

    Summary

    Wei Ying can’t find his words. “What would I do in Gusu?”
    The man’s mouth quirks in what Wei Ying cannot interpret as anything but a tiny, smug smirk. “Learn.”

    Wei Ying has made a fine life for himself. He’s got his jiejies and his talismans; he doesn’t need anyone’s charity. But spending a whole year in Gusu? That’s hard to turn down.

    Summary

    Shen Yuan, a Qing Jing researcher with low cultivation and an unhealthy interest in the demonic entities that crawl out of the rift in the abyssal zone of the ocean, gets his hands on an amulet to allow him to personally travel down there to conduct his studies. It gives him an aquatic spiritual form, with fascinating traits to help him survive at the bottom of the sea.

    The problem is that he’s not only being allowed down there for his research. Twenty years ago, the levels of demonic energy emanating from the rift rose and haven’t fallen since. Cang Qiong monitors the coast, certain that there’s a powerful entity down there, lurking, biding its time. If possible, Shen Yuan is meant to find and report on that entity—but the chances of him actually stumbling across it are low enough to basically be zero, right?

    Or: There is a creature at the bottom of the ocean. It takes exception to having its territory crossed over.
