Summary
“What does gege want?”
“I want—”
Xie Lian has to force his thoughts to stop their panicked skipping. What does he want? He wants the dusty solitude of his room. He wants to dunk his head in the wash water. He wants Ruoye tight around his ribs and the leaves of his tree in the window. And then a series of realizations: He wants this to be over, but he doesn’t want San Lang to leave. He wants to rest his weary body, but he doesn’t want to have sex. He wants to be fed—
-
Xie Lian is cursed to need sex. Hua Cheng wants to help with that.

Summary
Through the frozen mist in the tank, a figure lurches toward the glass, fingers curling in the frost. Dark hair frozen in a seal-slick, like oil in viscous fluid. A naked torso, deathly pale and riddled with those blue veins like tributaries. One hand wrenches the cryotank mouthpiece away from his face, and the man in the tank bares his teeth in a snarl as he looks down at Xie Lian, and then stops.
“Oh,” Xie Lian breathes.
The man in the tank is a shade elf.

Summary
There’s a clash that leaves his ears ringing and body trembling as lightning bursts in the sky above him. It’s familiar, Xie Lian knows this feeling of empowerment running through his veins. The next time he blinks, he’s standing on marble floors, tainted with the dirt on his worn boots and Heaven meets his gaze with it’s perfect palaces full of luxuries and riches.
The Crown-Prince of Xian Le has ascended for the fourth time, almost two centuries early.
______Xie Lian remembers falling asleep at his husband's side in their shared bed, but he wakes up to the familiar scent of rotting, dirt, and iron in a familiar coffin more than seven hundred years ago. His memories are a mess and he can't figure out how he landed in the past although he isn't entirely alone. Black Water Sinking Ships is there and while he can help fill in some of the blanks, the reality of their situation is grim and there doesn't seem to be a way back home.

Summary
When it comes to something like this, there are a few important steps:
First, Xie Lian makes sure that his husband is busy. Something like that makes it sound so terrible, but it’s not—it’s really not! It’s just that Hua Cheng can be overprotective, and if he saw this he would react poorly. Xie Lian would rather spare him that.
Second, Xie Lian puts Ruoye away. The poor thing never wants to go. He has to tie it somewhere safe and placate it with gentle touches and soothing words. Even so, it still lashes its ends and strains after him until he leaves the room. It will cling too tightly when he returns.
Third, Xie Lian goes somewhere quiet and familiar. It can be the armory, or their private baths, or even the shrine near Puqi Village. It is never their bedroom. It is never their cottage.
Fourth, Xie Lian draws his sword.
Fifthly, finally, Xie Lian takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and carves his own skin open.

Summary
Walking back into his living room with a mug in each hand, Xie Lian had to fight to keep his face neutral as he took in the state of his friend.
Mu Qing was sitting on the couch, legs tucked underneath him and half-hidden by the two blankets he’d wrapped around himself. In his arms, the man was hugging a pillow along with one of Xie Lian’s old, worn shirts. His face was barely visible over the blankets, still red and flushed - and accompanied with a glare so thoroughly pissed off that Xie Lian hurriedly pulled his own gaze away.
“Shut up,” Mu Qing hissed. “Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up.”In a world full of alphas and omegas, Xie Lian is a beta. He doesn't really get what his friends are going through, and he's not sure if he wants to know, either.

Summary
“Gege? What’s going on?”
Xie Lian has gone bright red, his eyes flickering back and forth between He Xuan, who he’s still laying on, and Hua Cheng, who might have gone into actual shock.
“San Lang! We’re, we...uh, this is—”
He Xuan takes a deep breath, sends a prayer to the dead hermit crab he had when he was twelve, and says, “Xie Lian and I are dating.”
He Xuan gets dragged into a love triangle he never wanted to be part of.

Summary
“You’re going to stay anyway.“
It’s not a question. Both Feng Xin and Mu Qing have tried to convince him to join them in heaven but he won’t. Shi Qingxuan knows they have little chance of convincing him to eschew solitude, Xie Lian’s mind is not easily changed once he’s decided.
“I need to be here when he comes back,” Xie Lian says, dropping the cherry back into the basket. He seems to have lost whatever appetite he had a moment ago. “I want him to know that I waited.”

“Xie Lian!” His aunt pressed her face against the bars, her eyes wide with fear. “Do not offer anything else! Beg forgiveness and ask to leave!”
He clenched his fists against his thighs. Forgive me, he pleaded silently.
“My freedom for hers,” Xie Lian whispered.
The vampire smiled the widest he’d seen yet, his teeth gleaming in the light of the night pearl. “We have a deal.”

Summary
Xie Lian gets a glimpse of its eye: a hot coal set deep into unearthly, marble-like skin, onyx pupil blown so wide with bloodlust it threatens to swallow the red iris entirely. A mouth full of entirely too many teeth, extended incisors bared like daggers. Rust smeared down the pale line of its throat.
A vampire. A feral vampire.
Looking at him like a feast set out before a starving man.
While wandering the mortal realm, Xie Lian stumbles upon a hungry vampire who, curiously, seems reluctant to drink from him.

The worst part about the coffin was not the experience, it was others learning about it.
---
“The coffin.” Hua Cheng whispers. “It was a long time, wasn’t it?”
Xie Lian opens his mouth, denial on the tip of his tongue.
He takes in an unsteady breath, ashamed to find his eyes burning with the effort to hold back tears, then blurring with his failure to do so.
“…It was.”

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.

When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.
It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
Xie Lian has a plan.
“Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
His voice caught.
“I mean, to—”
Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
“As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”- Language:

Right. Of course. He had forgotten again.
“Sorry,” he said, and he plastered something across his face. He hoped it was a smile. “I’m not—” It took a jagged inhale to finish that thought. “—not your husband. Can’t touch you, right? We’re not the same.”
Maybe he drank more than he thought.
