    Summary

    It has been millennia since Xie Lian’s second banishment.

    Millennia since Hua Cheng—the scourge of Heaven, the Crimson Rain Sought Flower, the Supreme Ghost King—slaughtered 33 gods and turned his demonic gaze on the banished Flower Crowned Martial God.

    Xie Lian has eluded the Ghost King at every turn. For centuries. Hiding is all he knows. He’s gotten very good at hiding.

    Summary

    Apparently Jie Lianyu has made quite a reputation for himself. He heard from a grapevine flowing through the city that Hua Cheng spent his days searching for someone—his wraith butterflies scattered around the land looking for a rumored person who held his heart. Hence, he became known outside of the palace walls as the kind-hearted concubine Jie Lianyu, yet unloved by the Lord of the City: The one took kind to the outcasts and the lonely.

    It answered many of his questions, mainly why Hua Cheng never seemed to be interested in seeing him: It was because Hua Cheng has a beloved. Out there in the world somewhere—a beloved he is tirelessly searching for; The one who fully occupies his heart, leaving no space for Xie Lian.

    And that’s… fine.

    Or

    With the Human-Face Disease running rampant, Xianle fell into poverty. To save his people, Xie Lian was married off to the wealthy yet cruel Lord of Ghost City, Hua Cheng.

    But under the name of a distant cousin of Xie, Jie Lianyu.

    If only Hua Cheng knew that.

    Summary

    “You told me 'It’ll help someone I care about.' Who is that?”

    Xie Lian widens his eyes slightly, puzzled by the sudden question. “Why does it matter? Whether it’s a stray on the street or my beloved, it didn’t change the outcome. I still ended up here.”

    Hua Cheng’s brow furrowed deeply. The brush in his hand trembled, dragging a dark stroke across the page and destroying the half-formed character he’s been working on. “You must’ve cared for them a hell of a lot—to throw everything away without hesitation. To offer yourself to me so easily.”

    He locked eyes with Xie Lian. “But they clearly didn’t care half as much, did they? They let you walk straight into a pit of demons. They let you become mine. What kind of person does that to someone they love?”

    Or

    Everyone in Ghost City is cursed to lose all memories of Xie Lian. To break the curse, Xie Lian needs Hua Cheng to say "I love you" to him. What better way to get Hua Cheng to fall for him than to offer himself up as a bride?

    Summary

    Hua Cheng's heart is hammering against his ribs. "Let's say, hypothetically, I wanted to see you again. How would I go about doing that?"

    Xie Lian's lips curve into a slow, knowing smirk. His tone is teasing, and it's painfully obvious. "You're THE Hua Cheng. Something tells me you'd figure it out."

    Or
    ———
    Desperate to stop his friends from setting him up on terrible blind dates, Xie Lian invents a boyfriend. To sell the lie, he drunkenly recruits a gorgeous stranger from a club. A stranger who, as it turns out, is Crimson Rain—the nation's most beloved idol. With his friends starstruck, his lie spiraling out of control, and his heart stubbornly guarded, Xie Lian's only goal is to extract himself from the mess intact. Too bad Hua Cheng isn't ready to let him walk away just yet.

    Summary

    @CrimsonRainSoughtFlowerASMR would like to message you accept. Accept message request?

    CrimsonRainSoughtFlowerASMR: Hello, hope you are doing well. I recently came across some of your videos online (your trinket videos are my favorite) and was wondering if you would be open for a collab? No worries if not, just let me know.

    Xie Lian thinks he's dreaming, but when he clicks on his profile, it is real. Staring at the 40 million subscriber count, he thinks to himself that this must be a prank. CrimsonRainSoughtFlower, or his real name Hua Cheng was a well known ASMRist online, if not one of the most popular ones in all of China. He had high quality microphones, a perfect ambient red lighting in all of his videos but what he was most known for in his fanbase was his voice. Even as a celibate man, Xie Lian had to admit and admire how sexy CrimsonRainSoughtFlower's voice was. He was an absolute celebrity on the platform for it with millions thirsting in his comments every day, so why on earth was CrimsonRainSoughtFlower messaging him?

    or

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng both own ASMR channels, they decide to collab and heal their traumas related to touch.
