    Summary

    It has been millennia since Xie Lian’s second banishment.

    Millennia since Hua Cheng—the scourge of Heaven, the Crimson Rain Sought Flower, the Supreme Ghost King—slaughtered 33 gods and turned his demonic gaze on the banished Flower Crowned Martial God.

    Xie Lian has eluded the Ghost King at every turn. For centuries. Hiding is all he knows. He’s gotten very good at hiding.

    Summary

    It was a matter of convenience for both of them. Get both of their families off their backs about marriage, allow Xie Lian the freedom to be himself. They worked well together as friends and roommates. The fact that they were technically married was just incidental.

    Hua Cheng repeated these lies to himself often.

    Summary

    “How old are you, Astarion?”

    Astarion is not expecting the question, Halsin can tell by the way he jerks upright, spine straight, shoulders strong.

    “Two-hundred-and-forty,” he answers without hesitation. “Give or take a few years.”

    Halsin swallows, rewords his question. “How old were you when you were turned?”

    Astarion goes quiet. Extremely, cacophonously quiet.

    “Thirty-nine,” he finally says, a bolt straight into Halsin’s heart.

    -

    Halsin discovers Astarion was turned before his maturity and all the sacred elven rites that come along with it. Including the sex one.

    Summary

    “You're awake.”

    Wu Ming nodded and reached for the sword at his waist, beginning to draw it even as he lunged toward the nearest of his god's attackers only to be brought up short as Xie Lian flung out one arm to block the ghost’s path.

    “No, stay back.”

    It was only a moment, only an instant of shifted attention, but in a fight against a dozen even that was enough to allow one of the men inside his highness's guard.

     

    OR Wu Ming wakes to find his god under attack and no memory of how they got there.
