    Summary

    Xie Lian has not stolen anything. He is completely innocent and it is not his fault he keeps claiming ownership over Hua Cheng's things.

    This was supposed to be a plotless collection of one-shot, but it kind of developed a plot at some point so it is recommended to read these in right order.

    Arc 1: The first time
    Affectionate, feared scimitar

    Arc 2: Xie Lian - calamity or savior?
    Beautiful, terrifying butterflies
    Charming, horrifying clink of silver
    Lovely, chaotic city of ghosts
    Memorable, fragile flowers
    Cherished, lost earring

    Arc 3: Pei Ming writes fanfiction!
    Thrilling, destructive power
    Protective, unsettling rain of blood
    Beloved, cursed names
    Devoted, cruel king of ghost

    Arc 4: Shi Qingxuan the matchmaker
    Useful, tricky dice
    Needed, fickle luck
    Meaningful, catching words
    Calm, broken state of mind

    Arc 5: Wedding negotiations
    Treasured, despised ashes

    Summary

    Quan Yizhen seeks answers for a burning question: how to romance Shixiong?

    And while he may know exactly what he wants, the steps to get there aren't quite as easy. So, what better answer than to ask the couples he is familiar with just how to woo the Waning Moon Officer.

    Summary

    Finally, the girl stopped sobbing for long enough to speak: "My father made a bet with the Ghost King and lost. Now I have to marry Hua Chengzhu!"

    "I will take your place." Xie Lian winced as soon as the words left his mouth.

    ***

    The regulars at the Gambler's Den are used to seeing men try to marry their daughters off to Hua Chengzhu. No one expects him to one day agree.

    Summary

    Xie Lian startles at the voice so hard that his bag of scraps promptly falls out of his grasp, scattering rubbish across the ground. Usually, Xie Lian is far more adept at repressing such severe reactions, but he whips his head around as if he could find who had spoken despite the fact he knows it had been only for his ears to hear.

    A prayer.

    (Or, Xie Lian receives a prayer for the first time in decades.)
