In this AU:
Male y/n, Hua Cheng and Xie Lian are married and the video takes place in the timeline of the second season of the tgcf anime (tian guan ci fu), that is, when Xie Lian visits the ghost town at the request of Jun Wu. And yes, they are already married in this timeline, but they still have their mysteries and unrevealed facts between them, but that doesn't change the fact that they love each other very much.
The God of death, Male y/n, met Xie Lian while passing through a kingdom called Xian le. While Male y/n was walking through this kingdom, he decided to enter the castle where the King of the empire lived (no one saw him, as he didn't allow it) and ended up finding a child crying with his head down, she looked to be around 10 years old. age. He remembered his daughter and crouched down, making it possible for little Xie Lian to see him (breaking a celestial rule), he smiled at the child and, incredible as it may seem, Xie Lian was not scared by the sudden appearance, but felt intrigued and stopped crying. Male y/n smiled and passed her hand over little Xie Lian's head and disappeared leaving the child confused, but that memory would remain forever in Xie Lian's mind (Xie Lian didn't know that the God he met when he was 10 years old was Male y/n, but realized this in chapter 3).
Male y/n asked to be banished when he felt bored enough with his life as a God, but this news would be meaningless if it was released to the other Gods like that, so he made a deal with Jun Wu to banish him and tell the other Gods who had committed crimes of murder and the God of death had to be banished (that's where the rumors about him came from and Jun Wu accepted it because Male y/n knew one of his weaknesses). While spending a few centuries wandering around the mortal realm, he ended up meeting Xie Lian and Wu Ming (Hua Cheng), he found it interesting (because he remembered the boy he would meet before, 10-year-old Xie Lian) so he decided to get closer to Xie Lian and ended up also serving him with Wu Ming (Xie Lian didn't know him, but something about that man attracted him), while spending time with them he ended up developing a romantic feeling for both of them (Xie Lian and Hua Cheng). When Wu Ming had to die for the second time to help Xie Lian, Male y/n felt empty and desperate, because at that point he was already in love with him, he couldn't bear to see Wu Ming's death in his arms and he gave his heart to Wu Ming giving him immortality, Xie Lian saw it happen before his eyes, he felt very sad for Wu Ming and Male y/n. After this incident, Hua Cheng "died". his ashes are destroyed or not, nor if his energy runs out, he will not die) and Male y/n was imprisoned in the prison of Heaven for having broken one of the celestial principles of "not reviving any mortal/ghost" and spent centuries trapped in a celestial prison suffering torture at the hands of Jun Wu and not knowing how Xie Lian and Wu Ming were doing. Hua Cheng and Xie Lian had their memories erased about what happened, and Male y/n planned to tell them about it in the near future when she was prepared to relive the whole thing. The Gods do not know this because it was hidden so that no God would know how to revive a mortal, only Jun Wu and Male y/n knew the fact that giving the heart of a God to a mortal makes him Immortal.
