Summary
After getting lost in Ghost City, Xie Lian bargains away years of servitude to the Gambler’s Den to help a man in need. He dons the robes of a worker and hides his face and life behind an enchanted mask, protecting himself from the city's denizens. Xie Lian finds an unexpected home in Ghost City before he ever sees the lord of it, the infamous Hua Cheng. When he finally does, something about himself seems to catch the attention of the Ghost King, slowly striking up an unusual friendship. Xie Lian must figure out how to navigate his burgeoning feelings, how to keep his identity to himself, and how to get over a ghost so clearly in love with someone else.

Summary
"San Lang," Xie Lian says, touched and impressed: however senseless his friend may be right now, he's still hardwired to accept Xie Lian's no. Xie Lian only wishes Hua Cheng had the power to provide his own no, too, make this yes mean something it doesn't right now, can't.

Summary
After Hua Cheng disappears in a flurry of silver butterflies, Xie Lian waits for his return. Rumours whisper across the land. Crimson Rain Sought Flower has returned and is ruling over Ghost City. And he doesn't remember Xie Lian at all.
“Did daozhang think he could come here, flash his enchanted eyes, and pull one over on the Ghost King?” Hua Cheng coos.
Xie Lian’s teeth begin to chatter. “My enchanted…my…aha—”
“I have never seen a performance quite like it in all my long years. Daozhang must be very experienced in getting his way just by fluttering his long lashes. But is he truly foolish enough to believe this act will work on me? Does he think I will fall for his tricks?”
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ
Or: Hua Cheng is cursed and has no memory of his beloved. Xie Lian takes a job in Ghost City to try to get Hua Cheng to fall in love with him again before he dissipates.

Summary
Once upon a time, there was a kingdom by the name of Xian Le. This country was renowned for its four treasures – delicate beauties, thriving literary arts, glimmering jewels, and of course…
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
You see, there is a famous trial in Xian Le. On the night of his 16th birthday, Xie Lian would be free to wed. "Pass all three trials, and the crown is yours!" Sounds simple, right? Suitors from across the country flocked to the Royal Capital, eager to try their luck in courting the elusive prince. But alas, the spot next to the Crown Prince continued to remain empty a decade later.
Exultant praises of the Crown Prince's beauty soon morphed into muttered scepticism. Maybe... there’s something wrong with the Crown Prince? Is he ugly? Disfigured? Unlovable? Or maybe, the challenges were truly too difficult.
The day of summer solstice, a mysterious figure appears. "My name is Crimson Rain Sought Flower," the masked man announces, "and I'm here to ask for the Crown Prince's hand in marriage."

Summary
As he rounds the corner to the front of Puji Shrine, he's taken aback to see Nan Feng standing outside the shrine's open door with his sword drawn. "Nan Feng?" he calls, and Nan Feng jumps.
"Oh!" he says, recognizing Xie Lian. "There you are! Your highness, you shouldn't enter — there's a demon inside!"
Xie Lian frowns at him. "I'm aware," he says. "He stayed the night."

Xie Lian and Hua Cheng talk things out a little.
