    Summary

    After his second banishment, Xie Lian is taken captive by the royal family of Yong’an. Immortal and unaging, he becomes their divine possession- a prize passed from king to king as a symbol of Yong’an’s might and proof of Heaven’s favour.

    He endures decades of control and humiliation, until the birth of a child changes everything. Lang Qianqiu- son of Yong'an's queen, but Xie Lian’s by blood- grows up beneath the shadow of secrets, lies, and stolen names.

    Or: Xie Lian is Lang Qianqiu’s mother, but no one knows it, and he gets buried anyway.

    OR: If you are brave enough to make it through 8 chapters of extreme angst and trauma you will be rewarded with truly egregious amounts of fluff, filthy sex and many happy hualian babies.)

    Summary

    After Hua Cheng disappears in a flurry of silver butterflies, Xie Lian waits for his return. Rumours whisper across the land. Crimson Rain Sought Flower has returned and is ruling over Ghost City. And he doesn't remember Xie Lian at all.

    “Did daozhang think he could come here, flash his enchanted eyes, and pull one over on the Ghost King?” Hua Cheng coos.

    Xie Lian’s teeth begin to chatter. “My enchanted…my…aha—”

    “I have never seen a performance quite like it in all my long years. Daozhang must be very experienced in getting his way just by fluttering his long lashes. But is he truly foolish enough to believe this act will work on me? Does he think I will fall for his tricks?”

     

    *:・゚✧*:・゚

    Or: Hua Cheng is cursed and has no memory of his beloved. Xie Lian takes a job in Ghost City to try to get Hua Cheng to fall in love with him again before he dissipates.
