Imagine that after their reunion, Hua Cheng and Xie Lian were hugging each other, silently, just enjoying each other's company, when Hua Cheng asked, "Gege, will you marry me?"

Caught off guard, Xie Lian pulled away from the cocoon he had made in Hua Cheng’s chest to look at him. Xie Lian was in a trance, frozen and enchanted, but he couldn’t help but ask, “Is this another one of San Lang’s jokes?”

Hua Cheng lowered his eyes in embarrassment, but soon looked back at Xie Lian, "No, I'm serious," and Xie Lian smiled, returning to his cocoon.

"Yes," Xie Lian said, his voice muffled against Hua Cheng's chest, "of course I do."

Squeezing him into his embrace, Hua Cheng laughed delightedly. “I already have plenty of wedding gifts for you,” he said passionately.

"Hmm? Already? Since when?" Xie Lian asked, relaxed.

Hua Cheng’s body tensed, which caused Xie Lian’s eyes to look up at his face, his brow furrowed in confusion. “…it’s been a while, gege.”

Xie Lian raised his eyebrows. “How long?”

Hua Cheng bit his lip. "...A while?"

Xie Lian laughed. "San Lang, have you been planning to win me over and marry me since before you met me in the bridal sedan?"

Hua Cheng fell silent, looking away.

Xie Lian blinked. “Wait… Really?”

"...Hm," Hua Cheng stammered, still not looking at him.

Xie Lian let out a delighted chuckle and lifted his face to kiss his cheek. “You cunning fox. I’m curious to know what those gifts are,” he lay back down.

Hua Cheng laughed lightly, relieved, and kissed his head.

So lovely to think that the HuaLian are all "don't mess with my man" type, but at the same time they would love to see their husband tear someone apart for them (especially Hua Cheng, those eyes sparkle every time he sees Xie Lian fighting, even more so for him, don't fool me).

"Don't mess with my man, he might kill you."

The Five Songs of Mourning (four), by Yuan Zhen

An analysis of the poem and Hua Cheng

The poem “离思五首 (The Five Songs of Mourning)” was written by 元稹 (Yuan Zhen) after the death of his wife, describing his longing for her. Mourning is a recurring theme in ancient Han poetry. This is part four of five.

Yuan Zhen describes in every word the devotion he felt for his wife, the love he felt for her that would never be forgotten.

The sea water and clouds of Wushan are used as metaphors for the depth and breadth of love. After seeing the sea of Wushan, it is difficult to appreciate the water and clouds of other places. In other words, except for the woman whom the poet misses and loves, there is no other woman who can catch his attention.

Who's that?, Xie Lian asked for himself, hypnotized about how incredibly stunning the beauty of that young man is, let him take his hand and take him wherever he want.

When the two of them stopped in front of a temple, they just stayed there, looking at each other.

Then, suddenly, that young man raised his hand and touch, slightly, the veil. He, slowly, lifted the red cloth, so delicate, like it's was a precious thing.

Or, like Xie Lian was the precious thing.

That smile. Makes him blush, his mouth opened, goosebumps went down his entire body.

It's not a simple smile nor just beautiful, it's more, as... As if it were keeping a burning and obscure secret that will never be told.

That smile are keeping a thousand million of secret emotions and history.

Even Xie Lian's breath stopped.

He couldn't hold himself back.

Xie Lian raised his own hand to the young man's incredible face. And that young man let him do it, he let him touch his skin — so soft — and hold his face. With a sweet care, Xie Lian caressed the top of his cheek.

"Who are you?" Xie Lian asked in a whisper.

But the young man just smiled more, letting out a light laugh.

"Are you the Ghost Groom?"

The young man laugh more again. Even his laugh are... Stunning. Hoarse and malicious, making Xie Lian want to cross his legs. In fact, his legs faltered.

"Only if you want me to be."

Oh.

His legs faltered again.

Xie Lian's hand down went his neck, slowly, until it stops in his chest.

"Maybe I want, yes."

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL THING, LOOK AT MINI SAN LANG IN THE FIRST ART, IT MAKES ME WANNA BITE HIM ALL OVER

Blessed day with the HuaLian

There’s something so wonderful about Xie Lian being created for Hua Cheng, and not the other way around. I wonder what their speech would be like in this context.

Maybe Hua Cheng would say, “You were born for me. All I had to do was make my way to you.”

Or maybe Xie Lian would say, “From flesh to soul, I was carved for you. Just like my thousands of statues, I exist because you exist.”

Thinking about how Xie Lian loves to see Hua Cheng in different styles of clothes and appearances, he loves them all because they are all his beloved, but his favorite will always be Hua Cheng's favorite form, which includes red.

Not only is red the trademark of Hua Cheng's true form, but it's also the eye color he hates the most. And Xie Lian loves E-Ming, he loves the red that was born with Hua Cheng, the cursed red that terrorizes the heavens and the earth.

Xie Lian had many reasons to become a villain, to allow himself to be corrupted, so that once a great calamity entered his life, all his ideals of "body in the abyss; heart in paradise" were just an idealization of a young man who had never suffered from any trials.

But he didn't allow himself to follow that path, even though that path was the easiest, even though evil was tempting, because he knew that any satisfaction he got would be fleeting and not worth it in the long run; because he knew that the world, as cruel as it could be, could still be good, there were still innocent and kind people, whatever that kindness was.

It was worth existing in this world, it was worth loving and forgiving and moving on.

His body was now in the abyss and could remain in the abyss forever if that was what it had to be, but his heart would forever remain in paradise because Xie Lian chose to keep it there.
