    Summary

    “Alexei, I fucking told you to never call me again, you fucking piece of—”

    “Am I speaking with Ilya Grigorievich Rozanov?”

    Ilya went silent immediately. That was not his brother’s voice. Nor was it Katia’s, his sister-in-law. It was an aristocratic, cold voice. He went completely still.

    “Yes.”

    “I’m calling from the Child Services Department, Ilya Grigorievich,” the woman continued, and Ilya frowned deeply. “Your brother Alexei Rozanov and his wife died yesterday in a car accident.”

    Twice in his life, Ilya had felt like this. The ice around his heart melted just enough for the numbness to vanish and give way to a sharp, stinging pain. It lasted only two seconds before he managed to compose himself. He didn’t want to feel anything for Alexei, so even if Katia’s death carried a trace of sadness—she was a mess, but she always tried to smile at him and cook warm meals for him when he visited Russia—, he dismissed the feeling entirely.

    “So what?”

    “You are the only living family member of their daughter. Your brother named you as her legal guardian, Ilya Grigorievich.”

    Summary

    People would find out immediately, he realised. And oh, if they found out what he did, how Liu Qingge lived only because of him, they would laud him for it - then they would keep him in a cocoon for the rest of his short life. He wouldn’t be able to ascend with the others anymore, wouldn’t be able to go on missions or use Xiu Ya any better than a mortal could.

    He could no longer practice inedia, or hell, even keep up with his disciples who already had half-formed golden cores. Who would listen to him now, who would respect him now? What good was a strategist who couldn’t keep up with the men he ordered around? What good was a teacher who couldn’t demonstrate anything he taught to his students?

    What good was a cultivator who couldn’t fucking cultivate?

    Shen Qingqiu manages to save Liu Qingge's life in the Lingxi Caves at the expense of his own cultivation and immortality. Now condemned to a short, brutish life as a mortal again, Shen Jiu chooses to leave it all behind and eke out a small living while he can, aware that death could be at his door any day now.

    After all, what else does he have to live for?

    Summary

    "Look," Shen Qingqiu said. "I'm not the nicest person out there. Most people hate me, actually. But I'll make sure you get fed and wear nice clothes and sleep with a roof over your head, and I'll teach you everything you have to know. You just have to listen to me and be good."

    "Binghe can be good," the boy said in a small voice.

    When a mission involving kidnapped children forces Shen Qingqiu and Liu Qingge to work together or else, Shen Qingqiu finds himself with a most unexpected boon after - a small, precocious, and all too lonely young orphan named Luo Binghe. Shen Qingqiu's never wanted to be a parent before, nor does he know what he's doing with a four (or five) year old suddenly on his hands. But really, who else does the kid in the world have but him?

    (Who does Shen Qingqiu have either?)

    Somehow, the original Shen Qingqiu becomes a proud Mamajiu, and no one else on Cang Qiong can stop him.
