Summary
When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.
It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
Xie Lian has a plan.
“Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
His voice caught.
“I mean, to—”
Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
“As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”- Language:

Summary
Xie Lian gets caught in a storm and never makes it to Puqi Village. He ends up in Ghost City instead. Why is this ghost, that’s definitely Hua Cheng, so insistent on spoiling him?
[ON HIATUS! Because my laptop broke and writing this fic on my phone is a lot harder, then I also started writing another fic in a notebook which stole my attention. Also christmas happened.]

Summary
Xie Lian has not stolen anything. He is completely innocent and it is not his fault he keeps claiming ownership over Hua Cheng's things.
This was supposed to be a plotless collection of one-shot, but it kind of developed a plot at some point so it is recommended to read these in right order.
Arc 1: The first time
Affectionate, feared scimitarArc 2: Xie Lian - calamity or savior?
Beautiful, terrifying butterflies
Charming, horrifying clink of silver
Lovely, chaotic city of ghosts
Memorable, fragile flowers
Cherished, lost earringArc 3: Pei Ming writes fanfiction!
Thrilling, destructive power
Protective, unsettling rain of blood
Beloved, cursed names
Devoted, cruel king of ghostArc 4: Shi Qingxuan the matchmaker
Useful, tricky dice
Needed, fickle luck
Meaningful, catching words
Calm, broken state of mindArc 5: Wedding negotiations
Treasured, despised ashes- Words:

Summary
“I told them we’re engaged so we could sample cake for free.”
“You—why would—how—?” Xie Lian sputters. “You couldn’t have said we were the groomsmen or something?!”
Well, certainly Hua Cheng could’ve. But was he going to pass up the opportunity to live out his recently discovered dream of pretending to be engaged to his newly single best friend he’s been romantically way-too-interested in for years? “It’s more realistic this way,” Hua Cheng insists. “Now put on some shoes and pretend to be in love with me.”
OR: hualian are not engaged, but they might as well pretend to be

Summary
“I’m just saying, if you ever needed money there’d be plenty, so don’t worry about—hey.” He scowls, whipping around to face her. “We’re not friends.”
“Okay.”
“I don’t have friends.”
“Okay.”
“Xie Lian is the only one I give two shits about.”
“Hua Cheng,” Yushi Huang says gently, smiling. “It’s okay.”
The Rain Master befriends her local feral Ghost King—much to the Ghost King's chagrin.
