Summary
"A family passed through here," the Patriarch stated. His sword appeared in his hand and he sheathed it at his hip. "It should be three dozen Wens. Where are they?"
Lan Wangji felt his lips flatten, offended by the very notion of answering. Considering what he had just seen the Patriarch do to the Wens around them, Lan Wangji could only assume the worst of his intentions.
Something flickered across the Yiling Patriarch's face. Then, oddly enough, he smiled. It was grim and understated, like a calm hand resting on a knife.
"You won't tell me?" he asked. Lan Wangji didn't answer. "You didn't tell those nice Jins."
Above an apprehensive curiosity as to what had happened to the Jins, Lan Wangji said, "Nor will I you."
Those eyes flickered again, this time with surprise.
"Oh dear," the Patriarch laughed softly, as if to himself. "What's your name?"
_
In the midst of fighting a losing war, Lan Wangji catches the special attention of the reclusive Yiling Patriarch. It's hard to say who is more indebted to whom.

Summary
"His Highness may call me anything he wishes."
Xie Lian doesn't have the imaginative energy to conjure up anything meaningful for this stranger, so he says, "In that case, you might as well be Wu Ming."
The ghost bows his head further. His shoulders sink slightly, less slumping and more settling into himself. It's like he likes the dehumanizing name.
He says, "'Wu Ming' is perfect."
Xie Lian's frown deepens. He tells him, "Pick a different one soon."
_
After Xie Lian is tortured in his own temple, he wakes up in the care of a freshly-formed wrath ghost. "Wu Ming" follows him home and, with his carpentry experience, medical knowledge, street smarts, and fighting skills, makes himself indispensable to Xie Lian's family.
To protect Xie Lian from Bai Wuxiang, Wu Ming swears that he'll do whatever he must to get stronger, all the while becoming one more person that Xie Lian couldn't bear to lose.

Summary
Xie Lian's last believer is so fervently devoted to him that he seems to think mostly in the form of prayer. That is a terrifying prospect. Xie Lian has never heard of such a case before, not even in hypotheticals, and he finds himself hoping, for his believer's sake, that there is some other explanation for this phenomenon.
Whatever the reason, a low stream of his believer's thoughts hum in the back of Xie Lian's consciousness.
His believer does not seem to be aware of it.
_
When Xie Lian ascends for the third time, he is welcomed back to godhood with prayers that he hadn't expected: an ongoing stream of thought from his sole remaining believer. He gathers quickly that this believer is very old, very powerful, and very, very much in love with him.
For his believer's sake, Xie Lian can cast a spell to shut the prayers out—but only if he has access to spiritual energy.

Summary
The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.
Red, Xie Lian finally names it.
-
In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.
His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.

Summary
Hua Cheng is accustomed to being merciless in these interviews, and a pretty smile won't change that.

"Just a moniker, Your Highness," Fangxin replies. "If you wish, please call this servant A-Lian."
-

The latest to try is an unassuming cultivator.

Summary
"Have we met?" Xie Lian smiles his employee-of-the-month winning smile.
"Maybe," smirks Hard-Cock.
"Sure. For here or takeaway?"
"Peppermint cocoa for here, please. And your Valentine's plans?"
He's unfazed by Xie Lian's dryness, which he has to admit is interesting. Unfortunately, Xie Lian is very, very tired. And so his filters aren't what they really ought to be when working in customer service.
"I'm going to order in some food, watch my favourite film, and then cry myself to sleep."
After Jun Wu breaks up with Xie Lian, it takes good friends and a persistent stranger to get Xie Lian to want to live his life again.

Summary
Lan Wangji had too much power over Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian already couldn’t think when he was around Lan Wangji; if he ended up catching stupid feelings for the stupid alpha — wanting to date him and kiss him and make a nest for him — it was over. Wei Wuxian’s life would absolutely be over. Because he would do something stupid, like, forget to take his birth control, or make a down payment on a house with a cute little backyard, or buy a fucking eco-friendly hybrid SUV with enough room for kids and a pet.
Or Wei Wuxian baby traps himself into a relationship he'd wanted for years with an incredibly reliable and sexy alpha. The horror.

Summary
“Hua-chengzhu is the kindest person I can think of.”
“Oh? Are you so sure about that?”
“My mother agrees too,” she says with surety and assurance unbefitting a girl her age. “If not for Hua-chengzhu, we would’ve been worse than dead, I’m sure. If not for Hua-chengzhu, my father would’ve killed my mother eventually and I’m sure he’d come for me, too. He never did like me. I’m not his real daughter, after all.”
Ah. So it’s like that, then. Hua Cheng remembers his own eleventh birthday: his father had chased him around the house, pinned him down, and tried to gouge his red eye out with a knife.
Little kids have such a brutal honesty to them. Hua Cheng tries and fails to be unmoved by it.
