The Lotus King and His Jade

pairing: Zhang Yixing x Reader (nicknamed Jade for... obvious reasons) genre: one-shot, drabble, fluff if you squint, historical I guess but not really?, ruthless king au but a good hubby warnings: kinda historical but its very loosely based off of LIT MV thus mentions of war, pregnancy, implied sexual content without being specific ya know word count: 1.2k kinda

A/N: heeey hiii I know it's been a while, I'm on sick leave from work and this has been in my head for a long time so I just decided to write it, it's not in the slightest anything extraordinary. this is kind of set up before the events of the music video, I was really going through it but I didn't have a whole lot of energy to write all of it as I wish I did. anyway, I hope you like it :)

⟶ To my dear readers: feedback is highly encouraged and important! as it gives me motivation to write with more passion, knowing that you like what you are reading. Please LIKE and REBLOG so more people can find this and read it. ❤ My askbox is always open for questions or to chat ❤

Enjoy! ❤

You remember the first time you saw him behind the red veil covering your face: terrified of the Lotus King whose horrifying stories you had only heard of from the people around you. His eyebrows were drawn in a subtle scowl, yet his face was too handsome and young for a man ruling all of the country under solid command. He was ruthless and never gave second chances, nobody dared question him for they would perish.

You knew better, most of the loyalty he was shown was out of fear, yet behind closed doors people would say bitter words and curse him. You knew and understood them, for his cruelty could always go too far when it came to imperial matters, but you also tried to understand him. Ruling a country with an iron clad fist was the only way to ensure the people’s safety from power hungry enemies. Deep inside he wasn’t the devil people made him to be; he was kind and thoughtful, he wrote poems, played music on the guqin and read books when he wasn’t attending formal meetings with his war generals. With him, there was always more than would meet anybody’s eye than yours.

The impassible face he wore for the public was unknown to you when you were in his arms, just the two of you in each other’s presence. Alone at night, the Lotus King would shed his black clothes and his duties to welcome the warmth of your body, relish in the peace and calm of your love with soft gasps escaping your lips, wet kisses trailing down your collarbone as you wrapped your arms around his shoulders to pull him closer to you. Yixing was incredibly skilled at making you chant his name in the night, candlelit chambers until the flames burnt out.

There was nothing else he loved more than he loved you, not even the throne he sat on, although he would never admit to that. Your marriage was never meant to be anything more than a formal relationship; his righthand general had a daughter and Yixing needed to establish stronger ties and secure a future generation to the throne, if anything, you were a means to an end. Somewhere along the line of your relationship, he got charmed by your gentle nature. He showed you that you don’t have to be afraid of him as everybody else are, for he will never hurt you.

You stirred in your sleep under the bedsheet, eyelids fluttering open as your fought slumber to welcome the moonlight that poured into your chambers. It wasn’t unusual for you to wake up alone without the king lying beside you, he had his own room across from yours, yet when you sat up in bed, you were surprised to find him sat on his knees on the balcony, back facing you. The sliding doors to the terrace were wide open; the night sky was clear of any clouds, giving room to the moon and stars to shine bright. As you rose from the bed and silently touched the floor with the tips of your toes, goosebumps appeared on your skin. You wrapped the bare skin of your body with the silk sheets before making your way towards Yixing.

His eyes were closed as he was soaking in the moonlight, his chest was still exposed while his hanfu loosely hugged his body. He didn’t startle when you wrapped your arms around him, he heard the tail of the bedsheets softly dragging on the wooden floor towards him. If anybody were sent to assassinate the ruthless Lotus King, they would need to be more silent than that.

You kneeled behind him and placed your chin on top of his right shoulder, sighing with glee before placing a chaste kiss under his ear. “You’ll catch a cold,” you whispered as you tightened your embrace, thus pulling the sheets tighter around him.

His dark eyes found yours and the corners of his lips lifted in a playful mockery. “My Queen is wearing nothing but her bedsheets, shouldn’t I be more worried about you catching a cold?” Yixing skillfully turned his torso to fully face you and wrapped his arms around your waist, then pulled your naked frame flush against his chest. His playfulness was gone after a short moment, his expression looked serious and your heartbeat picked up pace as a chill ran down your spine. “Enemy troops are marching from the western borders, they’ll be here in a couple of weeks.”

You mouth fell agape and your body went limp in his arms, too stunned to utter any word of disbelief. You always knew it was bound to happen; many opposed the Lotus King’s rule and many more wanted control over his domains, like voracious and rabid dogs fighting for a bone. They knew they couldn’t face him alone, for many had tried and failed. You began shaking your head and blinking rapidly, unsure of what to say. “What do we- we need to retaliate-”

“No.” His dry answer made you shut your mouth immediately. He gave you a reassuring stroke on the back with the palm of his hand and kissed your chest, right where your heart should be. “I need you to leave Lotus Palace and take refuge with your maids and some guards in the Dragon’s temple up the mountains. The monks will keep you safe.”

“No!” It was your turn to protest, not as calm as he spoke, you sounded more agitated and rightfully so. The look on his face softened when he saw tears threatening to spill from your eyes. “I’m not leaving you. No-”

“My precious Jade,” Yixing called you by the nickname he lovingly gave. “You will be safe far away from-”

“I’m pregnant.” You blurted out and this time around he was the one left speechless. You were shaking in his arms despite his best effort to keep you warm with his own body heat. You had known for a while that you were expecting your first child and were absolutely terrified of telling anybody at court, let alone your husband. You didn’t want his enemies to attempt and make him vulnerable by targeting you. You caressed his cheeks with the tips of your fingers before you cupped them gently and repeated yourself. “I’m pregnant, Yixing, and I feel the safer next to you.”

There was a whirlwind of emotions in his chest, he couldn’t pinpoint the strongest one, so he did what he does best and locked everything up to speak with a clearer mind. “I love you, but my word is final. You will go to the Dragon’s temple.” You couldn’t help but feel defeated so you just nodded in understanding. It was foolish of you to ask to stay, you would only burden him with your useless presence. He didn’t give you any more time to dwell on your thoughts as he kissed you softly to get your attention back on him. “In the midst of chaos you brought me so much joy. There’s no one more precious than you, and I will give my life to protect what I love. Do you understand that, Jade?”

“Yes,” you whispered then gave him a quick punch on the shoulder, which barely did anything to hurt him but he still feigned pain and laughed. “Don’t die, Lotus King, you need to be there when I give life to our child.”

“Yes, my Queen, anything that you wish for.”

"Trust you?"

"No."

"You ruined any chance of that long ago."

I had a vision, way back before the S4 special had aired, I think not too long after S4 had been released in english. I’ve only just finished it now, but I’m proud of it!

(Also here are the backgrounds because I worked really hard on them)

I remember someone said Nezha become more short-tempered whenever he is around Wukong lmao

This is just for fun, I know Nezha probably is a very patient person, but I exaggerated the short-temper-ness for the funny haha

The 4 rings of Samadhi Fire

Finally finished this illustration! I started this after watching episode 6 and it was my prediction for what would happen at the end of Season 3. Obviously, that's not what happened, but I wanted to finish this regardless because I still think this was a good idea. Plus I'm very happy with how it came out!

I also added alterative version with IRL skin tone

Hello! Just read the lotus king and his jade. And I freaking loved it ❤❤ like wow you are so good at describing. Like I could basically see the entire story in front of me ❤❤

So my question is are you going to make a part two? And If you are maybe I got a request of the story. Like war starts and it is terrible and terrifying but they succeed 🙌🙌 but as lay is coming to find Jade. He is meet with a lot of dead bodies around him and jade is not there/ maybe dead?? But their child lives...

I just want more of your writing. If you dont not take request then I completely understand ❤❤

Again love your writing

Hello, I am so so soooo sorry I’m replying a year later to your ask 🙏 do forgive me

Thank you so much for reading my fic and leaving me a message, I appreciate it a lot and it warms my heart that I elicited a good reaction from you ♥️♥️♥️

There was a wip of a part2 but I never got around to finishing it because of my mental health and I tried to find it alas in vain because I cannot find the original file. I’m not losing hope on a possible update, despite not remembering in which direction I was going originally. I will take inspiration from your request if I do update it (praying that I do because it’s one of my favorite fics for Yixing!!)

AGAIN thank you so much!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

More Qiankun Halo 💫

Nezha knows Wukong better than Macaque, which is why he hold no grudges against him when he messed up and I’m all ears for their early brotherly dynamics

I know Nezha didn’t go to Hell when he killed himself but it would be funny if he did in lmk

#my art #comic #shitpost #nezha #lego monkie kid #lmk #lego #monkie kid #third lotus prince #diyu #ten kings of underworld #ten kings of hell #I made his neck unattached to his body while being a soul because that’s how he died :)
