    Summary

    Sometimes, you spend your entire life stumbling around in the dark. You can fear it. You can lie down, and wait for your turn to die. Or you can learn to wade through that darkness. To become a thing that lives inside of it.

    But be careful—or you might become it.

    ( A retelling of MDZS where Wei Wuxian’s first encounter with the burial mounds comes long before the sun shot campaign.

    The scars left behind are unseen, and they run as deep as the bonds he will break.

    All, except for one.

    There are some things in life—and death—that never let go. And he might spend the rest of his life paying for them.)

    Summary

    “Ahh, Lan Zhan! You treat your husband so well! How will I survive without you during tonight’s night hunt? I am but a weak cultivator and need a strong man like you to protect me! Woe!”

    Summary

    “Do you really mean it? You’re not going to bury me alive, stone me, or throw me into the sea?”

    Hua Cheng froze, his usually composed face turning pale. His voice dropped to a deadly fury as he asked,

    “Who did that to you? Tell me, and I—”

    “Hua Cheng,” Xie Lian interrupted softly, his grip tightening slightly around the hand still holding his. He took a shaky breath, his heart pounding with both fear and hope.
    “I… I want to go to your city. Will you take me there?”

    His voice was small, his golden eyes lowered, cheeks faintly pink.

    Hua Cheng didn’t answer at first.

    He just stared, as if the world had stopped moving.
    Then, finally, he smiled—slowly, softly, like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

    “Of course,” he said.
    “It would be my greatest honor.”

    After his second banishment, Xie Lian was cursed by Bai Wuxiang to survive only by consuming blood.
    Overwhelmed by guilt and self-loathing, he is discovered by Hua Cheng, a mysterious ghost king who offers him sanctuary in his city. Despite his shame, Xie Lian accepts the offer, hoping to find a place where he truly belongs.

    Could this be the home he’s been dreaming for all his life?
