Summary
Xie Lian held up the flyer, and squinted at it through the eye-holes of his mask. Beneath the words ‘Join the Selection! Be the Ghost King’s Bride!’ the sweeping eaves rendered in wobbly black ink matched the silhouette of the building in the distance. Paradise Manor. The Ghost King’s home.

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.
