    Summary

    Well, Xie Lian certainly feels fine. His spiritual energy reserves remain untouched. His physical form, as healthy as ever. And his mind, unfettered and free of worldly disturbances.

    There was only one slight… nuisance.

    He couldn’t seem to stop speaking today.

    Xie Lian gets afflicted with a particularly troublesome truth-telling curse from a malicious spirit. Hua Cheng deals with it.

    Summary

    Xie Lian finds Yin Yu at the small reflecting pond behind Paradise Manor.
    "Yin Yu," he says gently, sitting next to him.
    "Your Highness."
    "Could you tell me what San Lang was like, before he found me again? How did you two meet?"
    Yin Yu looks down into the pond, watching the ripples distort his face.
    "It's a long story," he says quietly, and begins.

    Or: how Yin Yu met Hua Cheng, how the two of them met Black Water, and what Yin Yu learned about unconditional love and revenge along the way.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng lowers his hand, and both Feng Xin and Mu Qing crash to the floor. Feng Xin winds up with rugburn on his cheekbone and a dislocated shoulder, getting the better end of the deal than Mu Qing, whose nose is gushing blood between his fingers. Payback for earlier, at least—but his satisfaction is short-lived when Xie Lian hiccups a sob on the divan and then breaks into a string of rapid cries so panicked they sound painful. He slaps at the cushions of the divan, terror escalating, eyes wide open.

    “Help, help, help, help,” he gasps between cries. “Help me. Help me. Please. Please!

    When a tongueless spirit appears in the south and curses ghosts, gods, and mortals alike with catatonia, Hua Cheng, Mu Qing, and Feng Xin must work together to solve the mystery behind the curse and save Xie Lian from the horrors ravaging his mind.

    They may never find a cure, however, if the villagers plagued by the spirit don’t stop lying to them at every turn.

    Now with fanart!

    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.
