Here’s a uhhh work in progress,,,, what do you think?

Mortals usually just call her yù(jade) she goes by so many names in her different forms she usually just lets the nickname slide

(Let me know if I got anything wrong clothing wise or even if you think the nickname isn’t really culturally appropriate, I just thought it would be a fun nod to her also being the jade faced princess. I obvi want to be as respectful as possible :)) but also this is a WIP so the full clothing look isn’t fully done but if you spot anything kind of off rn… let me know!)

Chapter 2: Games

Summary: “Nobody really knows who this person could be, or why Lord Crimson Rain is looking for them,” Yu Liling continued, coming close to the pavilion with Xie Lian and Hua Cheng in tow. “There’s lots of speculation, but my ancestor who travelled to Ghost City heard there from a good source that they’re a ‘noble immortal Taoist.’”

As people said: no winds, no waves. The only rumours that passed the test of time were those that hid a little bit of truth within. Hua Cheng felt Xie Lian’s eyes on him, but he kept his face schooled and his eyes on the cloth fox.

It took over ten days for Xie Lian and Hua Cheng to walk from the inn where they met with the emperor to the entrance of Mount Tonglu. What happened during that journey? And most importantly, what would've happened if things had gone differently during that journey?

Expect folk stories told by Hua Cheng worshippers, Xie Lian figuring out stuff he could've realised one hundred chapters ago, and a Ghost King simultaneously hating on his child-like appearance and getting the best out of it.

Canon divergence from chapter 143. Contains many spoilers from the book!

Read on Ao3.
