    Summary

    The God of Spring meets the Lord of the Dead, and decides to take his future into his own hands.

    - - -

    It would almost be comical to watch Mu Qing advancing as Xie Lian tests how fast he can fucking chew, if the stakes weren’t a choice between Xie Lian moving between realms as he pleases and being trapped here for the rest of his immortal life.

    Mu Qing comes to a stop in front of the God of Spring, wrenching the pomegranate out of his hand at the same moment that Xie Lian smiles and opens his mouth.

     

    Empty.

    Summary

    Four hundred years before canon, Xie Lian wanders into Ghost City. He finds a blood donation center that pays quite well for contributions, and learns that private donors make even more! That's an amazing deal! Xie Lian has So Much blood!

    He asks tour guide San Lang, a friendly vampiric ghost native to the city, if he knows anyone looking for a personal blood donor, and San Lang-- who is definitely not a whole entire Ghost King-- jumps on that shit like white on rice. What's he supposed to do, let Xie Lian go to someone else!? Over his dead body!

    Or: In which Hua Cheng finds his god four hundred years early, accidentally winds up in the position to (blasphemously) drink his holy, delicious blood, and tries to Pspspsps him into staying forever the night at Paradise Manor while he's at it. This is fine! It's totally fine. He can be cool. He can be so cool.

    Summary

    In the center of it all is a man…

    A man who is scrambling around a small convection oven on the counter, trying to scrape out the blackened remains of what Hua Cheng assumes were once cookies. He appears to be in his early thirties and, despite his frantic movements and creased expression, the first word that comes to Hua Cheng’s mind is: soft.

    His hair, a beautiful, earthy chestnut brown color, is pulled back into a loose bun on the top of his head. A few strands hang free, framing his face. He wears cuffed jeans and a cream-colored turtle-neck sweater that swamps his frame and falls down to his thighs, giving him a cozy, shapeless figure.

    or: Hua Cheng is a famous muralist who is losing his passion for art when he meets Xie Lian, single father to five-year old Guzi. Xie Lian is in the midst of opening a flower shop and Hua Cheng, instantly captivated by this man with warm eyes and a soft nature, offers to help.

    Summary

    Lacking inspiration and tired of life in the city, Hua Cheng signs up for a rural farming initiative and goes to Puqi Farm with the expectation of nothing other than learning about tending sheep and growing potatoes.

    He'd never expected to find love in the eccentric farmer he's staying with. When the summer starts fading into autumn, he questions whether he has the strength to leave the paradise he's found.

    Summary

    “My lord,” he said, and bowed shallowly. “Are you here to fence?”
    “I—” It is the only thing I have any worth in, Xie Lian thought, but pushed it down with an awkward smile. “I am, yes. And you, sir?”
    “I am, too,” he said, his eye never leaving Xie Lian. “Would it be terribly forward of me to ask you for a spar?”
    “Oh,” Xie Lian said, and then smiled, feeling slightly more comfortable. “I would be honored.”
    _________________________
    The new owner of Paradise Manor seems terribly interested in Xie Lian, to everyone in the -shire’s surprise—especially Xie Lian’s.
