    Summary

    Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.

    Faith.

    His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.

    "I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.

    I remember you.

    I remember you.

    I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.

    (A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)

    Summary

    "Gege?" he says, stepping towards him reflexively. Then he stops, uncertain. His gaze sticks to Xie Lian’s feet. The boundary hangs between them, intangible, and yet inescapably real. Suddenly, Xie Lian finds it hard to breathe.

    "It's nothing," he says lightly, feeling conspicuous in his nudity. That alone is enough to fill him with terror. "My – chest – it hurts a little, from Ruoye."

    Hua Cheng's eyes flit to Ruoye and back. Xie Lian could have missed it if he'd blinked.

    "Do you want me to step outside?" Hua Cheng asks quietly, eyes firmly down.

    Does he? Xie Lian tries to take the question seriously, but his brain refuses to entertain it.

    "No," he says after a few seconds. Slowly, honestly. No, he doesn't want Hua Cheng to leave. He never wants him to leave.

    For centuries, Xie Lian has wandered alone with only RuoYe for company. For centuries, he's been nothing but a reflection of an age long forgotten, powerless and bound to the mortal realm.
    It takes an encounter with a swarm of hungry ghosts to change his fate.

    Summary

    What happens when a mortal man withstands the devotion it takes to wait 800 years for their beloved? It becomes pure, unadulterated, extreme obsession.

    Hua Cheng loves Xie Lian so much. His entire reason for living is for Xie Lian. There’s no world he’d rather be in if Xie Lian is not in it. It’s truly the kind of love that most people want so desperately for themselves, but how deeply can a person feel devotion? How radical can it get? There are many kinds of love out there, so what if Hua Cheng in his human form carries the extreme weight of a supreme rank ghost king's love? The result is all-encompassing, beautifully chaotic, and savagely extreme.

    A modern AU where Hua Cheng is corrupted by an obsessive love for Xie Lian.
