    Summary

    [The scream he lets out is inhuman. It’s a sound that reaches the heavens, shakes the ground there. A sound so horribly stricken, so laden with grief that every animal for miles around- silenced initially by the powerful ghostly aura that trod through the fields- now howls along. There will be myths surrounding that sound, about the animals’ cries, about how every human who heard it burst into tears that were not their own, but for now all that exists is a mourning ghost and the breathing corpse of a god.]

    Or: another Xie Lian prays to Wu Ming in the coffin fic.

    Summary

    /Two weeks, gege. That’s all I need from you. Two weeks, and an open mind./

    Xie Lian has survived to mid-life by being many things: a jack of all trades, a decorated workaholic, a creature of habit. He wouldn’t put “vacationer” high up on his resume. That doesn’t stop his doting boyfriend, Hua Cheng, from whisking him away to a world of luxury and splendor, where he’s hopeful— nigh convinced— that Xie Lian can be reformed with a little TLC.

    He’s right, of course— just not in the way that either of them think.

    Summary

    “Good morning, Dianxia,” Hua Cheng murmured, a hint of a smile returned to him by his own image in the mirror. He put down the brush next to the ornate pyxis of cinnabar clay and thoroughly checked his reflexion.

    The flex of his fingers on the mahogany handle of the brush, the drag of the bristles on his skin, the scrape of the lid encrusted with mother of pearl against the edges of the box as he closed it and the smear of rouge the movement always left on his fingertips were moments repeated slowly morning by morning, each a step in the ancient ritual of making himself worthy of his God’s gaze. The water that flowed through the fibers on the head of the brush ran tainted red as a blood sacrifice and the incense on Xie Lian’s altar burned.

    or: Hua Cheng prays to Xie Lian every day, sharing ordinary moments and heartfelt confessions with the beloved that cannot hear him.
    Coming out of the coffin in Yong'An Xie Lian starts to hear the loving and harrowing prayers of a devoted ghost.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng sighed happily, “Gege gege, so many faces of yours to love during your heat. You spoil me. What did I do in my past life to deserve such happiness? Truly, how could your master say I was not blessed? For such a very greedy, selfish man, aren’t I so lucky? So many ways to love my love.”

    Xie Lian threw a chair at his head.

     

    Ever since the flower Yao attack, Xie Lian's heat cycle is abnormal. Hua Cheng is desperate to prove he can be relied on and Xie Lian is terrified of destroying paradise manor and anyone in his way. Will Hua Cheng be able to withstand Xie Lian's violent heat? Will he be able to restrain Xie Lian without allowing him to come to harm?

    TLDR: If Xie Lian was a tempermental cat and Hua Cheng had to occasionally shove pills down his throat, but make it sexy?

    Summary

    Xie Lian's life fell apart in a few simple steps. But when he gets a chance to turn it around as a marriage offer comes from Wuyong estate, despite his hidden disdain for the other, he accepts.

    Who would have known, it would have costed him everything and everyone he had left?

    His memories disjointed, stuck in a mansion in a life that feels too good to be true, perhaps Xie Lian can finally find home in the mysterious owner of the manor: Hua Cheng.
