    Summary

    Hè Xuán rolls his eyes and slumps further down in his seat. Honestly. His presence isn’t even noticed or needed.

    “That’s very sweet,” Xiè Lián laughs, the sound making Huā Chéng’s face light up like Christmas. “But I need to know if you’re in pain so I can tell the nurse.”

    “You’re not my nurse?” Huā Chéng asks, then frowns at himself. “Of course not, he’s an angel, you idiot.”

    [Post-surgery Huā Chéng suffers temporary memory loss, hits on his husband, mourns that he's married, and has his mind blown.]

    Summary

    Hua Cheng has no memories and no purpose. The mysterious cultivator he stumbles upon could be his undoing – or the cry for connection he’s been searching for centuries without ever knowing it.

    Summary

    Xie Lian didn’t intend to get cursed, or sick as a result. As a matter of fact, he didn’t intend to even get involved with the ghosts who were sluggishly parading themselves around Puqi Village. He just—well—what else was he supposed to do? He collected scraps, stayed in his shrine, had an exhilarating time with Hua Cheng whenever he visited, and more or less avoided going to the heavens unless absolutely necessary. What harm could helping a few ghosts do? They were sick, and sad, and dead, and unable to leave, and he was not any of those things—except the last one—so it only felt right if he tried to help, didn’t it?

    Of course, getting sick was something he should have expected. After all, his bad luck did not make him immune to suffering. Only immune from dying from it. Hua Cheng would rather he didn’t get sick, and didn’t die at all! Both the real version, and the dream version said so!

    (or: xie lian takes the burdens from a very sick, very dream-riddled ghost. he, by extension, becomes a very sick, very dream-riddled god. hua cheng takes care of him.)

    Summary

    “If it was real … this curse. Waking up on the same day, again and again,” Xie Lian elaborated, his mouth dry and tongue heavy. “What would you do? How would you possibly fix such a thing with no clue at all?”

    xie lian unluckily finds himself in a peculiar situation with his sanity being tested whenever he opens his eyes and nothing seems to have changed.
