Sending some writing vibes your way!!

That's when he starts noticing little inconsistencies here and there, dates that don't match with what he knows should be the time period corresponding to Hua Cheng's life. And that's when he starts to hope.

He wants to at least find a grave of the person he never /really/ met but still calls his beloved. Turns out in life Hua Cheng travelled a lot, so Xie Lian tries to trace his steps, tries to find archive entries about him, asks around (never mind that it's been hundreds of years, he Doesn't Care).

Selling his DNA to that clone company was him trying to do /something/ while he wasn't successful in his search.

The company becomes bankrupt at some point, and Xie Lian, after meeting dozens of 'San Lans', can't really imagine his life without him. So he digs deeper.

But what if Hua Cheng isn't /actually/ dead? What if he came back as a ghost because he thinks he owes a debt of gratitude to the vampire who protected him when he was young, and he wasn't able to repay it yet because he couldn't find him during his mortal life?

ok but imagine xl who doesnt really plead or beg, hes all commands. not a single "please" from his lips, only "right there", "again" and "just like that san lang"
hc has one phrase and its "yes dianxia" on repeat

im particularly in love with the flavor of hua cheng that has to be slowly taught to accept pleasure at xie lians hand (that he deserves love and touch and affection from xie lian) and learning that xie lian is just as into making san lang feel good as hua cheng is into making his highness feel good

Yessssss🙏🙏🙏 XL shouldn't be the only one to accidentally acquire children once in a century
