Summary
The doctors said it was a miracle Shen Yuan had woken up. A coma for three years plus a stroke have left him struggling with the basic tasks of daily living. But more concerning than the abilities he lost to his illness are the things he mysteriously gained: muscle memory of skills he never learned, habits and tastes more suited to a bygone era, and a strange, powerful grief for something he doesn’t remember.
It’s fine. He’s doing fine.
At least, he tells himself this, until he starts noticing a beautiful young man everywhere he goes, always watching him. Does…does he have a stalker?!?

Summary
The light still doesn't make sense against his eyes, but he thinks he remembers something like color. There is a lot of color around him, and he is able to discern white and black and a great deal of something else. It's a breathtaking splash of vivacity on a new canvas, where there had been no canvas at all for so many eternities. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.
Red, Xie Lian finally names it.
-
In a disorienting turn of luck, Xie Lian is rescued from State Preceptor Fangxin's coffin. He recovers his other senses in good time, but his sight is taking longer to return—decades with no exposure to light have weakened his capacity for it.
His benefactor and worshiper, a wealthy and eccentric ghost named Hua Cheng, hasn't left his side for months.

Summary
Xie Lian's last believer is so fervently devoted to him that he seems to think mostly in the form of prayer. That is a terrifying prospect. Xie Lian has never heard of such a case before, not even in hypotheticals, and he finds himself hoping, for his believer's sake, that there is some other explanation for this phenomenon.
Whatever the reason, a low stream of his believer's thoughts hum in the back of Xie Lian's consciousness.
His believer does not seem to be aware of it.
_
When Xie Lian ascends for the third time, he is welcomed back to godhood with prayers that he hadn't expected: an ongoing stream of thought from his sole remaining believer. He gathers quickly that this believer is very old, very powerful, and very, very much in love with him.
For his believer's sake, Xie Lian can cast a spell to shut the prayers out—but only if he has access to spiritual energy.

Summary
"His Highness may call me anything he wishes."
Xie Lian doesn't have the imaginative energy to conjure up anything meaningful for this stranger, so he says, "In that case, you might as well be Wu Ming."
The ghost bows his head further. His shoulders sink slightly, less slumping and more settling into himself. It's like he likes the dehumanizing name.
He says, "'Wu Ming' is perfect."
Xie Lian's frown deepens. He tells him, "Pick a different one soon."
_
After Xie Lian is tortured in his own temple, he wakes up in the care of a freshly-formed wrath ghost. "Wu Ming" follows him home and, with his carpentry experience, medical knowledge, street smarts, and fighting skills, makes himself indispensable to Xie Lian's family.
To protect Xie Lian from Bai Wuxiang, Wu Ming swears that he'll do whatever he must to get stronger, all the while becoming one more person that Xie Lian couldn't bear to lose.

Summary
Shen Yuan was a huge fan of the blockbuster action trilogy On the Proud Immortal Way -- at least until he transmigrated into it! Watching giant robots battle giant monsters was fun on the big screen, less so when he's sending his friends out to fight and die in those clashes. Now reincarnated as Shen Qingqiu, the head science officer at Cang Qiong Shatterdome, he'll do his best to protect his little white lotus of an assistant from that bloodshed -- but how long will he be able to keep the Protagonist away from his destiny?
