    Summary

    Hong Hua’s attention settled immediately on Xie Lian, eyes lingering with a subtle admiration, before quickly diverting to Lang Qianqiu.

    “Your Highness,” he greeted, stepping forward and bowing with practiced precision, “I hadn’t expected the honor of your presence today.”

    Lang Qianqiu smiled, clearly in high spirits. “We came at the State Preceptor’s suggestion. He thought it best that I observe and demonstrate my current understanding.”

    Hong Hua inclined his head again. “Then it is our good fortune to be under the State Preceptor’s guidance today.” His attention settled once more on Xie Lian, a faint warmth touching his expression.

    “Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Hong Hua.” He bowed his head, measured but sincere. “I have long heard of the State Preceptor’s skill. If I may be permitted, I would be honored to witness it for myself.”

    OR: Hua Cheng finds Xie Lian three hundred years earlier, during his time as Fangxin Guoshi in Yong'an. To get close to Xie Lian, Hua Cheng joins the Yong'an Infantry under the alias of a young solider, Hong Hua, and must gain Lang Qianqiu's trust to become a member of the Imperial Guard, the personal bodyguard of the Crown Prince of Yong'an.

    Summary

    It is him.

    Hua Cheng knows it is him, because he would know him anywhere, in any place and at any time and in any state. Knows the slope of his jaw and the silken strands of his hair, and the soft ivory of his skin and the curve of his shoulders.

    Because he sees him in everything that is good and precious and divine; because he has been running after him, praying to him, talking to him in the private comfort of his mind for as long as he can remember.

    Because it is him, and Hua Cheng’s soul would know his in a thousand lifetimes, under a million different stars, in the dirt and the mud just as well as on the streets of the divine capital.

    Because Hua Cheng has loved him, will love him, does love him ever since he can remember.

    Xie Lian is never banished from heaven, so Hua Cheng finds him there after he ascends himself at Mount Tonglu, and becomes, as always, Xie Lian's most devoted believer.

    Summary

    The god, in his infinite silence, sealed in stone, had spoken to him without words. Understanding pierced through his feeble mind like lightning, threatening to break it into a million pieces and, at the same time, holding it together. It spoke of compassion and tenderness, but also of grief and loneliness, vast and aching, much more agonizing than any human could stand. Hua Cheng's mortal heart had lifted and broken all at once as ancient, godlike emotions, far beyond his ability to comprehend, flooded his being.

    A prince, a saint, a god, a martyr.

    His god-

    His god?

    Where had that thought come from? It did not feel like his own, and yet it unfurled from the deepest, most intimate part of his soul, as though it had always been there, waiting.

    His god.

    or

    Hua Cheng was a mortal who worshipped a god long forgotten by the world. He never asked for anything in return.
    Until one day, all of his prayers were answered.

    Summary

    Even now, Xie Lian has to ignore the shiver that trembles just under his skin, threatening to make itself apparent if he lets it. Don't show weakness, his father had warned him. A man like Hua Cheng would eat you alive if he could.

    Xie Lian couldn't bear to admit that he just might let him.

    Summary

    After waking up in Puqi Shrine, Xie Lian finds everything to have changed overnight with no explanation. His cursed shackles are missing, his cultivation seemingly gone, a ring around his neck and two brothers who are as enigmatic as they are striking. Despite all known reason, his heart moves.

    Not just for one. But both of them.

    (Or; hualian experimenting something new with their memory-eating monster.)
