    Summary

    Hua Cheng, the Fire Master of heaven, is not exactly a beloved figure. Known for burning his own palace, for carving images of a fallen god, for shirking official duties to wander the mortal world, he's a hotbed of trouble.

    So no matter how strict the heavenly emperor's decree not to visit or interfere with Ghost City is, it's no surprise to anyone when Hua Cheng defies him.

     

    The cold king of Ghost City, Xie Lian, moves quietly through the empty days.

    ...Right up until someone sets his city on fire.

    Summary

    It’s been over a week since Xie Lian checked in which, for Mu Qing, is about the longest silence since the one that lasted 800 years. He should probably be glad for the quiet, but instead…

    Instead he calls in Feng Xin’s help, and goes to see what’s wrong.

    He should have expected this, honestly.

    Feng Xin and Mu Qing arrive at the house on Mt. Taicang to find Xie Lian 8 years old both in body and mind. The main problem? Xie Lian isn’t the only one who’s 8 years old. What are two gods to do with a Hong Hong-er?
