Summary
After two thousand years of peace, few in the three realms can remember a time when gods, the ghost realm, or cultivators were at odds with one another.
But while gods may live forever, peace does not.
And while some enemies are unseen, they may be beyond remedy.

Summary
Xie Lian was what people would call weird for paying for innocuous services at a brothel rather than an inn, because if he could afford tea and a table, shouldn’t he prefer a place without any sexual proclivities? But the best part about visiting brothels was that no one would ever recognize him if they were looking! Xie Lian would never be caught dead in one of those establishments, right? And when he was injured, as he often was, waiting to feel better was easier when he could listen to gentle music in a warmly atmosphere!
Yes, the atmosphere was designed to lure men into beds! No, Xie Lian didn’t want a bed or anything like that! He wanted tea, a small table in the corner of whatever room the singers were performing in, and something to lean on as his vision spun from the aftermath of falling off a cliff! Funnily enough, while no one had ever sought him out before—nor did he drink in these places—there was a first time for everything!
Why was there a youth at his table looking at him like that?
(or: xie lian frequents brothels, which would definitely be a shock to anyone who once knew him. similarly, he’s frequently injured. these things occur simultaneously more often than not!)

Summary
Hong Hua’s attention settled immediately on Xie Lian, eyes lingering with a subtle admiration, before quickly diverting to Lang Qianqiu.
“Your Highness,” he greeted, stepping forward and bowing with practiced precision, “I hadn’t expected the honor of your presence today.”
Lang Qianqiu smiled, clearly in high spirits. “We came at the State Preceptor’s suggestion. He thought it best that I observe and demonstrate my current understanding.”
Hong Hua inclined his head again. “Then it is our good fortune to be under the State Preceptor’s guidance today.” His attention settled once more on Xie Lian, a faint warmth touching his expression.
“Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Hong Hua.” He bowed his head, measured but sincere. “I have long heard of the State Preceptor’s skill. If I may be permitted, I would be honored to witness it for myself.”
OR: Hua Cheng finds Xie Lian three hundred years earlier, during his time as Fangxin Guoshi in Yong'an. To get close to Xie Lian, Hua Cheng joins the Yong'an Infantry under the alias of a young solider, Hong Hua, and must gain Lang Qianqiu's trust to become a member of the Imperial Guard, the personal bodyguard of the Crown Prince of Yong'an.

Summary
A dragon cursed to be trapped in human shape by the royal family of Xianle, Xie Lian has already long accepted the reality of his situation by the time he finds himself being pulled out of Ghost City’s harbor. It’s fine, really. After hundreds of years, pretending to be something he isn’t is as easy as breathing.
So why does San Lang, with a pearl in his hair and a dragon-eyed sword on his belt, make it so easy to forget why he was pretending to begin with?
