    Summary

    Xie Lian remembered that there had been a time where rules felt like cliffs.

    A time when every misstep seemed to confirm that fate was waiting for him to fail again and again. He had learned to move carefully then, to weigh every action against consequence, to measure compassion against catastrophe.

    Fear had settled into his bones so thoroughly that even small choices had begun to feel dangerous.

    Hua Cheng dismantled that fear piece by piece.

    For years, his husband had encouraged every impulse, every reckless kindness, every softhearted detour that caught Xie Lian’s attention. If Xie Lian wanted to rebuild a ruined hut in the middle of the night, Hua Cheng brought lanterns and timber. If he wanted to cross a mountain to deliver a single lucky talisman, Hua Cheng walked beside him with amused devotion.

    Rules had always existed, of course but Hua Cheng simply regarded them as suggestions.

    or: Xie Lian ascends as a deity of motherhood and children- and dealing with heaven isn't so bad when you have a ghost king for a husband, and a god for a son.

    Summary

    After his second banishment, Xie Lian is taken captive by the royal family of Yong’an. Immortal and unaging, he becomes their divine possession- a prize passed from king to king as a symbol of Yong’an’s might and proof of Heaven’s favour.

    He endures decades of control and humiliation, until the birth of a child changes everything. Lang Qianqiu- son of Yong'an's queen, but Xie Lian’s by blood- grows up beneath the shadow of secrets, lies, and stolen names.

    Or: Xie Lian is Lang Qianqiu’s mother, but no one knows it, and he gets buried anyway.

    OR: If you are brave enough to make it through 8 chapters of extreme angst and trauma you will be rewarded with truly egregious amounts of fluff, filthy sex and many happy hualian babies.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    best thing i’ve ever read

    Summary

    Yet, despite its overwhelming dissonance, despite all the molar-grinding concessions disguised as compromise, the appearance of the wedding itself wasn’t what now had Xie Lian choking on his own pesky expectations as they came surging sourly up his throat– but rather, the one and only empty place to be found in the entire venue.

    The altar.

    Xie Lian’s first thought was a mortifying head-on collision: one, that he couldn’t believe it, and two, that he should have fucking known.

    -

    After his decade-long, soul-sucking relationship with Jun Wu ends with being left at the altar, Xie Lian decides to take his life back into his own hands once and for all— starting with his would-be luxury honeymoon, now turned solo trip.

    Out of practice with relaxation, Xie Lian doesn't expect much more than a week of privacy in which to lick his wounds and try to start over. He certainly doesn't expect San Lang, the bold and spirited young man he encounters on the way, who seems determined to raise Xie Lian’s standards /for/ him, who somehow has all the gossip on the island resort they’re both going to— as well as its notorious owner, Hua Cheng.

    Maybe 'unexpected' is exactly what Xie Lian needs.
