    Summary

    After a devastating fire destroys Paradise Manor, Xie Lian is consumed by guilt and decides to distance himself from Hua Cheng, believing the Ghost King needs time and space to recover from the loss. During his absence, Xie Lian is gravely injured on a dangerous mission and finds himself under the care of the Heavenly Emperor, Jun Wu.

    As Jun Wu tutors Xie Lian in martial arts, their bond deepens, evolving from a mentor-student relationship into something far more intimate. Jun Wu’s grace, charisma, and unwavering attention awaken unexpected feelings in Xie Lian, leaving him torn between loyalty to Hua Cheng and the allure of the Heavenly Emperor.

    Unbeknownst to Xie Lian, Hua Cheng quietly watches from the shadows, his devotion tested as he witnesses Xie Lian’s growing closeness to Jun Wu. Caught in a dangerous triangle, Xie Lian must navigate the delicate balance between his heart and his sense of duty before everything he holds dear is lost.

    Xie Lian is a talented aerial silk performer but he has been plagued with misfortune since an accident befell his best friend - an accident he's responsible for. His life gets turned on its head when he saves someone from an assassination attempt in the park, not knowing this mysterious stranger is in fact The Crimson Rain Sought Flower, Hua Cheng, a man feared across the city of Dynasty for his ruthless nature and dark past. Hua Cheng feels indebted to him but feeling as though he did nothing to be worthy of gratitude, Xie Lian refuses his offer to repay him - not having any idea of the persistence of this handsome man he knows only as San Lang, or his power.

    Or: Xie Lian becomes the object of affection to the most powerful man in the city.

    Summary

    Xie Lian stumbles across something in Ghost City.

    ---

    Later that night, though, when they’re naked in their bed together and lazily trading kisses, Hua Cheng decides to tease him about it again. “You know, you don’t need a novelty dildo stall,” he tells him, smirking. “Your husband is a shapeshifter.” And he changes out his dick for a bright blue one with ridges and a bumpy head.

    Xie Lian blushes, as expected, but he looks interested.

    Hua Cheng raises his eyebrows and grins. “Gege?”

    Summary

    What if modern AU!Xie Lian, during his book 4 equivalent, decided to try online sex work instead of robbery?

    ---

    Xie Lian is out of options.

    His attempts at busking have been steadily earning less and less, and at this rate, he’s going to miss next month’s rent and be evicted from the cheap, shabby apartment he calls home. He’s never been truly homeless, but he doesn’t think it would be a pleasant situation, especially in winter.

    So he opens up his old laptop, waits for it to boot up, clicks on the browser application, and types “How do I use the only fans website?” into the search bar.
