    Summary

    Xie Lian was banished from the Heavens a long time ago. He is not a god anymore. He does not have any believers left. He is nothing more than an old tale– or the punchline of a twisted joke.
    That's how it should be anyway.
    But the world could never be so clear cut. From the ashes, life will bloom. From the sad ending of the first story, another begins. A new tale, a new title, a new sort of faith. Others may not notice the kind man showing up left and right, but those beneath it all do.
    If the people say you are a god, then that is what you are. Even if you do not realize it yourself.

    Or: Xie Lian seeks to help others whenever he can for 800 years. 800 years is more than enough time for said others to notice.

    Summary

    “Do you even know what you’ve done?” Zhou Zishu asks, as they’re standing staring at the one bed in the room. “Do you know how many congratulations I’ve gotten on our ‘office romance’?”

    Hua Cheng makes a face of abject disgust, but he can’t admit fault here. “I got us a free vacation,” he says instead.

    “Yeah, where we have to pretend to be dating!”

    OR: hua cheng and zhou zishu are each other’s reluctant wedding dates, but little do they know that xie lian and wen kexing are also pretending to be dating <3 (and wei wuxian and lan wangji are just confused about how any of these people got invited to their wedding)

    Summary

    “I told them we’re engaged so we could sample cake for free.”

    “You—why would—how—?” Xie Lian sputters. “You couldn’t have said we were the groomsmen or something?!”

    Well, certainly Hua Cheng could’ve. But was he going to pass up the opportunity to live out his recently discovered dream of pretending to be engaged to his newly single best friend he’s been romantically way-too-interested in for years? “It’s more realistic this way,” Hua Cheng insists. “Now put on some shoes and pretend to be in love with me.”

    OR: hualian are not engaged, but they might as well pretend to be

    Summary

    JIANG CHENG: Let’s start with your loans. What is this one?

    WEI WUXIAN: Oh, right. I had to take out a payday loan to DoorDash boba.

    JIANG CHENG: Not a single one of those words is in the Bible, you unholy creature. What are you talking about? With your income, why did you get a payday loan? Why did you even order boba for delivery?

    LAN WANGJI: Wei Ying likes boba.

    JIANG CHENG: I don’t know how many times I can express that I don’t care what he likes.

    OR: married!wangxian are special guests on jiang cheng's financial advice podcast (unfortunately for jiang cheng)

    Summary

    Some time ago, Xie Lian was (almost certainly) cursed to take the form of a kitten. Defenseless and just as unlucky as he was in his mortal body, he ends up kidnapped by a group of ghosts looking for a good gift to give their Chengzhu for his upcoming birthday. After all, who wouldn’t want a cat that seemingly can’t die?

    Hua Cheng, for one.
