    Summary

    After an explosive end to his short but highly successful career as an MMA fighter, Xie Lian ends up working as a custodian at Jun Wu's gym to try and pay off his and his parent's debt.

    But when an up-and-coming fighter transfers to the gym and refuses to train under anyone except for Xie Lian despite his infamy within the sport, it comes as a shock to everyone. And even more shocking is that this fighter starts to reignite Xie Lian's passion for the sport that he thought had died alongside his parents.

    Summary

    “There’s nothing Hua Cheng can do to Xie Lian,” Mu Qing argued. “He’s immortal, so he can’t die. He has no temples to burn, so Hua Cheng can’t take his Godhood. He has nothing to lose. So on that tiny chance he's able to infiltrate Ghost City, heaven would have a spy."

    -

    When Mu Qing proposes a plan for Xie Lian to act as a spy in Ghost City, he agrees on the off chance he might be able to help put an end to a cruel tyrant. But the more time he spends with Hua Cheng, the more he thinks heaven might not fully understand what kind of man Hua Cheng is.

    Summary

    “My name is Xie Lian.”

    He Xuan’s eyes widened so far they looked like they would pop out of their sockets. Though his expression quickly changed, growing darker and morphing into a look of pure terror.

    He Xuan whispered, “Fuck…”

    When Xie Lian washes up in Black Water Sinking Ship's domain, instead of being boiled and eaten alive, he makes a new friend who tells him all about the four calamities. And he finds the story of Crimson Rain Sought Flower particularly interesting.

    Summary

    Where does one go, after losing everything?

    “That kind of love is obsessive,” Xie Lian mutters, voice uncharacteristically dark.

    ...

    “He harbors…a great fear for dragons. Dragon kings especially,” Hua Cheng’s eye widens as he processes what those words imply.

    With his home destroyed and having caught the unfortunate interest of the ferocious beast who did it, Xie Lian discovers that he bears a grave curse.

    The curse of dragons.

    Summary

    AU where Xie Lian actually tells Mu Qing that he considers him a friend, and for once, Mu Qing doesn’t scoff or push it away, just nods, almost imperceptibly, like he’s holding onto the words more tightly than he’d ever admit. And when Xie Lian tells Feng Xin he wouldn’t blame him for leaving, Feng Xin doesn’t argue, just sits down beside him in silence, staying anyway.

    Xie Lian also grows that weird, unusual, but soft and warm feeling toward Wu Ming... though, of course, all of this doesn’t change the absolute disaster that his life is. It’s not like taking a slightly different path ever led him to a happy ending anyway.

    Or did it?
