    Summary

    After Zhuo Yichen had found Zhao Yuanzhou's last shred of soul he extracted with the Yunguang Sword, he went back to the Peach Blossom Villa in Tiandu, ready to live a life of seclusion while helping the ape demon recover. Pei Sijing and Wen Xiao would occasionally come visit them whenever they had free time despite their responsibilities, always bringing one treasure or another that they hope would be helpful for Zhao Yuanzhou's recovery while also making sure that Zhuo Yichen himself was healing too. But mostly, it was just the two of them in this enormous manor, well more like Zhuo Yichen and that wisp of Zhao Yuanzhou's soul who has yet to manifest his human form again. Time flew by just like that. Months and years passed in the blink of an eye as Zhuo Yichen spent his days brewing tea, cultivating and training patiently by himself.

    On the evening of one spring day, Zhuo Yichen opened his eyes after a session of meditation, greeted by the sight of that familiar figure dressed in exquisite black robes. Zhao Yuanzhou smiled at him amidst the falling flower petals, looking as if he had never left Zhuo Yichen's side in the first place.

    " Xiao Zhuo, I'm back."

    It was the 8th year after his "death".

    Summary

    Dying was supposed to be simple—peace, quiet, an end to all the complications of existence. But of course, there was Yichen. Who else would be stubborn enough to drag Zhu Yan back into the chaos? He should be angry. Or disappointed. Or maybe even grateful. Instead, he’s preoccupied with burying inconvenient truths as deeply as possible—just like a proper Great Demon ought to.

    And then there’s Wen Xiao. Radiant, clever, endlessly amused by their antics. It’s easy to lose yourself in her, isn’t it? But not even her brilliance can quiet the restless hunger gnawing at the edges.

    This is a story about how even millennia don’t make you any smarter about your own feelings. About stubborn ex-humans breaking apart and drinking too much. About demonic sex-ed (yes, actual sex-ed), and the surprising practicality of balance as both a life skill and… other things.

    Most of all, it’s about finding what you didn’t realize you’d been searching for all along—and what it costs to claim it.

    The story is finished, and I’ll be posting updates a few times a week (don’t expect daily; I’m way too lazy for that). Comments, however, make me post faster. Do with that what you will.

    Summary

    Di Feisheng feels tears roll down his cheeks, surprisingly hot on his cold skin. “I can’t find you anywhere,” he whispers hoarsely.
    “A-Fei…” the voice repeats, barely more than an exhale, the softest of caresses carried on the breeze.
    Swallowing his tears, he tries again to make his vocal cords work. “Where are you, Xiangyi?”
    “You’re holding my soul in the palm of your hand,” the voice replies gently.
    It takes Di Feisheng a very long moment to realise that this isn’t merely a metaphor, the final consolation, or a confession coming way too late.

    Or, there's definitely something off with that broken sword :D
