    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

    When three of the four calamities call forth a truce the heavenly realm is subject to chaos of the highest order. What do these calamities hope to gain by working together? And why is their attention fixed on the heavenly realm?

    After Pei Ming suggests working with Hua Cheng to remedy this situation, various ploys are discovered, but even that doesn't match up to the shock that is waiting for them.

    Throughout all of this He Xuan just hopes he gets ample vacation time to make up for all the sleep he's losing.

    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?

    Summary

    “My name is Xie Lian.”

    He Xuan’s eyes widened so far they looked like they would pop out of their sockets. Though his expression quickly changed, growing darker and morphing into a look of pure terror.

    He Xuan whispered, “Fuck…”

    -

    When Xie Lian washes up in Black Water Sinking Ship's domain, instead of being boiled and eaten alive, he makes a new friend who tells him all about the four calamities. And he finds the story of Crimson Rain Sought Flower particularly interesting.

    Summary

    “I have nothing to my name, but still want to make a bet. What do people normally do at the Gambler’s Den if they have no money to use?” Xie Lian asked.

    The smirk on her face grew, but she humored him. “It depends on the way you bet. If you’re at a normal table, you’re out of luck. But if Hua Cheng is in, the bets he takes rarely have anything to do with money.”

    “Hua Cheng?”

    At his confused look, she outright laughed. “Oh boy, you’re in for it.”

    -

    Devastated from the tragedy that befell the small farming village where he lived, Xie Lian travels to Ghost City to ask for help at the Gambler’s Den. What he doesn't expect is for their lord to continue to follow him around, even when Xie Lian’s business in the city is complete.

    Summary

    Xie Lian knew—he had wronged the young ghost, Wu Ming.

    The moment he saw the fractured mask lying on the ground, the last remnant of a spirit consumed, something inside him shattered. He wept for hours, silent and unrelenting, pleading in his heart for forgiveness that would never come. His calloused hands trembled as they clutched the broken mask, knuckles turning white, and he knelt—motionless, lost in grief.

    A world in which, after Wu Ming gets consumed by the spirits, Xie Lian keeps the fractured smiling mask that belonged to his last believer.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian has always known his place. An unwanted omega, a burden to the Jiang name, a stain on Madam Yu’s perfect world. No matter how hard he fought, no matter how many times he proved himself stronger, smarter, better—it was never enough.

    But when she tries to sell him off like property to a Jin alpha, he does something he’s never dared before. He says no.
    And Madam Yu makes him pay for it.

    OR

    Wei Ying is beaten and running on nothing but instinct and desperation, he has only one place left to go.
    Lan Zhan. If he can just make it to him, maybe—just maybe—he’ll finally be safe.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian makes a talisman that can show people's memories of the past. He intended to test it out on his own, but is surprised when the juniors, along with Lan Wangji, Wen Ning, Jiang Cheng, Lan Xichen, and even Nie Huaisang are nearby just as he activates the talisman. When he sees the memory that begins to play out in front of them, he realizes right away he needed to make adjustments to the talisman, because the memory shown was one he didn't want to see.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian has no time, there is no one left to lean on or ask for a desperate dying man's favor, and the siege is bearing down around him and he will die, Wei Wuxian will not live to see the sun rise tomorrow, there is no escape for him this time and perhaps he doesn't even deserve it anyway.

    But A-Yuan does. A-Yuan must live to see the sunrise, he must live and grow big and strong and Wei Wuxian will do anything to make sure that happens.

    Even if it means an untested talisman and placing his trust for his little radish's life in the hands of someone else.

    Summary

    Wei Ying could accept that most of the time he was not stupid. Some rare times, he would even call himself quite sharp.

    “Wei Wuxian” ? The old looking room ? The lack of noise in his ears ?

    It must be it; he had, after dying miserably, transmigrated.

    Into the terrible, terrible antagonist of “Light-Bearing Lord”, the Yiling Laozu; Wei Wuxian.

     

    ---

    Wei Ying transmigrates into his least favorite antagonist, Wei Wuxian.

    Everything could be completely different if Wei Wuxian's intelligence and skills were recognised and valued. Well, not absolutely everything, but most things certainly could.

    Summary

    In Gusu, among white robes and whispered rules, Wei Ying wears a smile like armour. Mischievous, messy, and always too much, he’s seen as a talented nuisance at best — and a danger in the making at worst.

    When rumours of a black fox spirit spread through the Cloud Recesses, the last thing anyone expects is for it to be him.

    He expects fear. He expects hatred. What he doesn’t expect… is someone who stays.

    [6/10/26] - Edit: Technical issues have thoroughly mugged my ability to write, so the chapter is stalled for the moment. I'm still fiddling with bits and pieces when possible, but finishing it is proving a touch difficult when my devices are behaving like they've developed personal grievances. Wish me luck; I'll get this sorted as quickly as I can.

    Summary

    “Hmph! Yet again you interrupt a lesson with wild theories. You are nothing but a disruptive influence, and don’t know the value of an education.”

    As if to emphasise his point, he smacked his hand against the painting. He must have infused his hand with qi, as there was a flash when he tapped the paper, and the totally-not-talismanic-symbols glowed. Most of the class instinctively ducked, but nothing happened, and nothing seemed different when they looked up.

    Shoulders relaxed, and subtle sighs of relief were breathed.

    And then a voice came from the front of the room, by Lan Qiren’s desk.

    During the guest lectures, Lan Qiren accidentally triggers an array that shows a glimpse into the future.

    It's certainly educational.

    Summary

    At fifteen, during summer camp in Cloud Recesses, Wei Wuxian invents a bunch of talismans when bored or prompted by Nie Husaisang. Thinking it awfully funny, he creates a throwaway account at a professional cultivation research/purchase network and uploads them for sale for a modest fee. Then, he forgets about the whole thing.
    Years later, the mysterious Yiling Patriarch is known in all Jianghu as an elusive genius cultivator who revolutionised his field.
    Those two statements might or might not be related.

    In other words: three different ways in which Wei Wuxian finds out he is filthy rich and academically acclaimed. That’s it. That’s the story.
