Summary
The feeling of ascending for the third time is familiar. What's not familiar, however, is when Xie Lian ascends directly into the Palace of Divine Might, where Jun Wu tells him that the ghost king Crimson Rain Sought Flower is threatening the heavens, especially Feng Xin and Mu Qing, and he needs Xie Lian to go to Ghost City as a spy to take down Crimson Rain.
Armed with a third cursed shackle to seal his identity, Xie Lian must go to Ghost City and work his way into Crimson Rain's inner circle in order to discover his plans and maybe even his ashes. What could go wrong?

Summary
It’s dark in the library. Walls of books fade into the darkness around Hua Cheng, standing at the window. The only light comes in the form of abrupt, disorienting flashes, illuminating his silhouette. He’s watching the storm, lost in thought. His defenses - hypervigilance - are down, and he doesn’t notice the figure standing behind him.
Or maybe he does, but he just doesn’t care.
They stand there for what feels like an age.
Finally, He Xuan speaks. “You called?”
This gets a reaction. Hua Cheng half turns around, surprise evident on his face as more flashes of lightning display his features sharply - all hard lines, no softness. It’s wrong, and unsettling. He Xuan shifts uneasily.
“I called you?”
Oh. He Xuan forces his body to remain still, face completely neutral. Blank. Empty.

Summary
Our tale begins with Xie Lian hiring an escort to help him deal with an “unspeakable affliction” after a disastrous breakup forced him to leave college and return to his hometown.
Hua Cheng (or Wuming, as he is called when we first meet him) isn’t really interested in helping people—he just wants to get paid. If the situation with a client seems too complicated to deal with, he has no problem walking away. But for some reason he can’t explain, he feels compelled to help Xie Lian.
The two find themselves very quickly drawn to one another, but nothing in life is easy, especially when it comes to love.
Xie Lian is struggling to forget about the demise of the relationship that ruined his life—a struggle complicated by the fact that his ex may or may not be stalking him.
Meanwhile, Hua Cheng is busy running from a past that will soon catch up to him with deadly consequences.

Summary
Hua Cheng is a child. He believes in God. Because God is everywhere: he sings on TV, smiles on advertising banners, poses for magazines, and winks from others’ T-shirts. Hua Cheng thinks that since God is everywhere, his prayers can’t be unheard.
Hua Cheng grows up. He still believes in God. However, now he understands that God is loaded with work in the capital and does not hear the prayers offered to Him. So Hua Cheng doesn’t ask for anything anymore. He knows that he will not get an answer.
He knows, and yet for some reason God begins to answer him.

Hua Cheng works in the same agency as his lifelong celebrity crush. After one sudden encounter and a tiktok he seems to have caught Xie Lian's interest. Shenanigans ensue...Bookmarked by most-devoted-believer (kasterborous13)

Summary
The water was so shallow as to provide a mostly unobstructed view from above. And the cave roof did let in some light from uneven stones, so there was no real darkness to protect him. The light reflected off the surface of the water and sent blue and yellow reflections back onto the cave walls. “You don’t have to be afraid of me. I’m not gonna hurt you.”
“I am not afraid,” He Xuan hissed, hand tightening to his knife.
Water splashed as the human kicked his feet in the shallows. “So you do speak. I was wondering if you didn’t speak my language, and if I had gone mad thinking you said something to me when you dragged me onto shore.”
He Xuan’s eyes narrowed, tail resting amongst the silt in the cave’s bottom. “If I had known you would stalk me, I wouldn’t have bothered. The world with one less human in it is a better place.”
“Have to agree with you there.” The water splashed, vibrations traveling through as the human kicked his legs. He Xuan swam to the side and peered around the rock. The human’s eye fell on him, but he was hidden enough not to show too much of himself. “You don’t have to keep hiding. I promise I won’t hurt you.”

Summary
Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.
Faith.
His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.
"I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.
I remember you.
I remember you.
I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.
(A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)
