    Summary

    After a Qi deviation, Shen Qingqiu regresses into his 12 year old self, just after he was sold to the Qiu household, with no memories of his life up until that point. Trapped, he believes he has been sold one more time. When the other peak lords discover him in the bamboo hut, they immediately assume the worst: their fellow peak lord has taken in an underage girl for nefarious reasons. Enraged, they launch an investigation against Shen Qingqiu, vowing to bring him to justice in the absence of Yue Qingyuan.

    With no memories to support or deny this claim, Shen Jiu plays along, leveraging the righteous cultivators' outrage for his own survival. He is taken in as a disciple of Xuan Shu peak, where he is forced to come to terms with his own past traumas, and experiences related to his gender. For so long he pretended to be a boy, will he be able to find comfort in his girlhood now?

    When the truth finally comes to light, will Shen Jiu be able to face himself? Will his martial family?

    Summary

    “Liu-shidi should get out of here…” Sharp coughs wracked through the older man, and more blood dripped down his chin.

    “Didn’t I tell you to stop talking!”

    Liu Qingge knew he was running out of time. He needed to do anything to save Shen Qingqiu, but he was helpless.

    He could only watch as the older man's life slipped away. He could only regret.

    — Or —

    After Liu Qingge Qi deviation in the Lingxi caves ends up with Shen Qingqiu bleeding out in his arms he is given a second chance to fix things between him and his shixiong finally.

    Summary

    It was a normal day in hwasan....... atleast it started out like that.

    Tang Gunak and Im Sobyeong were looking around the room, looking for a certain gremlin. It was a usual little meeting, nothing too serious which is precisely why only few of the allies were present. Tang Gunak and Im Sobyeong looked at each other and then at their alliance leader, hyun Jong who looked....*concerned* or *stressed*, or maybe both? Honestly one can never know when it comes to the mount hua sect.

    Tang Gunak coughed, drawing attention to himself "so, sect leader. Where might the devine dragon be?"

    Hearing those words, hyun Jong started sweating profusely. Im Sobyeong looked at the other with blank eyes 'sect leader, I understand why you're worrying when it comes to that devil of a commander....but why the hell do the five swords look like they're about to burst into tears?'

    Hyun Jong mustered the fakest smile he could which coerced Tang Gunak and Im Sobyeong to give each other a look.

    "Cheong myeong is....*busy*"
    "Alright? With what exactly?"

    "....busy doing things, like *omega* things"

     

    *"WHAT!?"*

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu did not kill Liu Qingge in the Ling Xi Caves, but he suffered the consequences of his shidi's survival. He is neither dead, nor alive, forced to follow a living Liu Qingge around like a ghostly dog.

    Shen Qingqiu really should have let the man die.
