He Xuan is terribly underestimated as a Ghost King. I don’t see why he would be that far behind White no Face and Hua Cheng.
I think this widespread conception comes from the fact that, yes, in a fight, both HC and JW would wipe the floor with him. But that doesn’t mean (I think) that He Xuan is inherently less powerful or impressive.
See, the thing is… fighting isn’t He Xuan’s domain of expertise. He is a scholar. He is good at plotting, scheming, and has excellent control over his spiritual power, perhaps even better than Hua Cheng’s.
Think of all his clones in Heavens, that must all be powerful since they are supposed to pass for Middle Court Officials. Think of his domain: the guy controls a part of the damn ocean.
So yeah. Justice for He Xuan.
Only my opinion of course. But feel free to give yours in the comments. I love reading people’s thoughts.
Any day now
It’s Wu Ming Wednesday! So here is my humble contribution to the fandom ^^ (I posted this on monday but shhh)
Expect angst, protective Xie Lian and a hopeful/open happy ending. The rating is Teen and Up, and this is a canon divergence. The fic is complete.
Here’s a little extract:
“He is at his side in an instant, closing his arms around Wu Ming’s flickering form only moments before he hits the ground. He should not be here, Xie Lian thinks, frantic as he desperately calls the ghost’s name, to no avail. He should not be here, bleeding out his very essence in the blinding light of the Heavens for all to see. Because he should be gone.”
Many thanks to the amazing @nootcatt for beta reading
Hope you enjoy!
Hua Cheng: “Oh, for the love of you!”
Xie Lian, laughing: “You mean for the love of God?”
Hua Cheng: *stares at him*
Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.

Some bw Hualian I did for my instagram :')
I think what I like so much about Hualian’s love is their profound respect for each other. They never try to change one another. They respect each other’s autonomy, choices, and conception of morality. The only time Hua Cheng ever tries to oppose Xie Lian is when he thinks Xie Lian is about to harm himself.
And that is just so precious and important.
So it's been a minute. I'm here to inform those of you still suffering the ill-effects of a god-awful cliffhanger that Part Two will probably begin posting sometime this month! 💪
That said, Paper Memories isn't actually finished. It's been fighting me a little bit and so has my schedule.
I'm actually going to release Part Two in three arcs (or seasons, if you will) with a little hiatus between each as I finish up the next part. This is mostly because at this rate, if I wait until its Completely Finished, y'all might be waiting here till fall lmao. And I'm patient, ok, but I'm not that patient. I also want to be able to share to keep me motivated.
Not to worry tho. Arc 1 alone is sitting at 74k words posting over 8 weeks, so this bitch is gonna be long. Yes, I have a problem.
But anyways, I suppose that's all I wanted to say.
Psyche! You KNOW I got Teaser Images. ⤵
Yes those ARE Xie Lian's boobs at the end. You're welcome.
