ARCHIVE OF DIXING | English 镇魂 Guardian Fanworks Directory

He looked weak, shaky on his legs; already beaten and bleeding from countless wounds, the Black Cloaked Envoy was nothing like the man Ya Ziliang had looked up to. Now he looked like a monster from one of his nightmares—a fierce-eyed, teeth-baring, angry creature that would fight to its death. Ya Ziliang’s blood ran cold through his veins, made him shake. This wasn’t how he’d wanted to meet his hero.

An outsider POV on the events in Dixing at the end of the drama and on weilan.

The day after the cold room.

This is not at all what Ling Wen imagined when she started her job as a therapist. But here she is, sitting in the room with two Ghost Kings and a Cultivator, listening to them going on about their lost love and wondering when exactly she amassed so much bad karma to be punished like this.

It was all wrong. Why didn’t anyone else seem to see that it was all wrong?

They were all falling over themselves to welcome General Kunlun, to show him the camp, to vie for his attention, and there were rumors that the Black-Cloaked Envoy had smiled at him.

In the end, Shen Wei returns from Dixing. Zhao Yunlan does not.

(Until.)

******** INDEFINITE HIATUS

He just wanted to pet the fat black cat in the window.

"Brother you don't need to turn me away
I was waiting down at the ancient gate
You go
Wherever you go today
You go today"

It's an hour of Chu Shuzhi's life he's never getting back.

New Year's morning, a sofa.

Shen Wei couldn’t keep this up forever. Zhao Yunlan honestly wasn’t even sure how he’d managed for this long.

Shen Wei is inexperienced and eager; Zhao Yunlan is delighted. They are both having the time of their life.

Zhao Yunlan laughs silently, ribcage shaking. “Embarrassed, bao bei? You shouldn’t be, you came five times. That’s some godly stamina.”

“Zhao Yunlan!”

Silently, two people in the SID find themselves pining for one another. If only they could get over their obliviousness and find each other!

"Tell you the truth," Zhao Yunlan says, and Shen Wei knows what's coming is unlikely to be true, "I really don't know why, but the moment I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity."

The Regent of Dixing is dead, but that's only creating more problems for Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan.

It was ironic, Shen Wei thought. After all the nonsensical information he had made Zhao Yunlan sit through, he had still not expected to be attacked by bears.

Shen Wei has never seen Zhao Yunlan so openly vulnerable before, or so willingly leaning into him.

Shen Wei almost doesn't return the kiss.

Chu Shuzhi puts Professor Shen under surveillance.
