    Summary

    Jingyi frowned. “So, what? You went into the Burial Mounds willingly?”

    Wei Wuxian smiled and it felt all wrong on his face. When he had accepted this mission, he hadn’t expected to hold a lesson about something that still left him gasping for breath in the middle of the night. “I was thrown from a sword by Wen Chao. I was—unwell at the time, so when I hit the ground—” He laughed. “Splat.”

    “Splat,” Jingyi echoed, eyes wide.

     

    (The juniors interrogate Wei Wuxian about the Burial Mounds—and quickly regret asking.)

    Summary

    Mortals rise to become gods; when they fall, they become ghosts.
    But what happens when a god meets a mortal death—and willingly walks the path to hell?

    The gods may be powerful, but before the laws of existence, they are mere children. Jun Wu thought he could defy these laws, sealing away Xie Lian’s mortality and spiritual powers. But one truth remains unshaken: you can wield power as a mortal, but you cannot be immortal without it. Now, Xie Lian lingers between life and death—one wooden stake away from tipping either way.

    Alone with nothing but his thoughts, he dwells on all he has lost. But mostly, he thinks of—

    (Or: Xie Lian falls in love and accidentally becomes a Calamity?!)

    Summary

    “I am searching for information on a cursed object.”

    “And what do you offer if you lose?” The croupier asked him. Xie Lian glanced up at Hua Cheng’s silhouette, and felt his breath stutter at how he was now sitting up, elbows resting on his legs, seeming to be interested in the proceedings.

    “I have information that may be of use to Lord Chengzhu.”

    -

    When Xie Lian's bad luck hits at an inopportune time and he accidentally touches a cursed object he shouldn't have, he gets sent back 150 years into the past. He needs to learn more about the cursed object and how to reverse the time warping spell, and who better to consult than Hua Cheng?

    Summary

    “Do you really mean it? You’re not going to bury me alive, stone me, or throw me into the sea?”

    Hua Cheng froze, his usually composed face turning pale. His voice dropped to a deadly fury as he asked,

    “Who did that to you? Tell me, and I—”

    “Hua Cheng,” Xie Lian interrupted softly, his grip tightening slightly around the hand still holding his. He took a shaky breath, his heart pounding with both fear and hope.
    “I… I want to go to your city. Will you take me there?”

    His voice was small, his golden eyes lowered, cheeks faintly pink.

    Hua Cheng didn’t answer at first.

    He just stared, as if the world had stopped moving.
    Then, finally, he smiled—slowly, softly, like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

    “Of course,” he said.
    “It would be my greatest honor.”

    After his second banishment, Xie Lian was cursed by Bai Wuxiang to survive only by consuming blood.
    Overwhelmed by guilt and self-loathing, he is discovered by Hua Cheng, a mysterious ghost king who offers him sanctuary in his city. Despite his shame, Xie Lian accepts the offer, hoping to find a place where he truly belongs.

    Could this be the home he’s been dreaming for all his life?
