3️⃣ [PX Fic Rec 108] 深海以下 "Below the Deep Sea"
Status: Complete + Extra | Language: Chinese | Length: 22 Chapters + 8 Extras | Tags: Canon Setting—Ten Years—Restart—Yucun, Pierce the Window Paper, Double Perspective, HE | What's inside the fic: Wu Xie's First Person POV, Zhang Qiling's First Person POV
About this fic: After Zhang Qiling came back, he took it for granted that he and Wu Xie were already together, but Wu Xie mistakenly thought that the other party was straight and insists that he was actually straight too. To make it worse, Wu Xie didn’t dare to ask or say anything about it.
"Last question, what is the deepest place on the seabed?"
I thought for a while and said, "How do I know this? With the current modern technology, it is still impossible to explore such a deep place, and whether there is a deeper place is also an unknown field. It is estimated that only the sea itself knows."
"Do you understand?" The fat man looked at me and gestured upwards with his hands, "What can be measured and seen is the part that is exposed. The part that is most hidden..." He poked me with his finger, "Only the sea knows."

4️⃣ [PX Fic Rec 109] 敦伦之乐 "The Joy of Dunlun*"
Rating: M/R | Status: Complete | Language: Chinese | Words: 2,886 | Tags: Canon Setting—Yucun, Zhang Qiling's First Person POV | What's inside the fic: First Time, Established Relationship
About this fic: This part is also the first extra story of 《深海以下》 "Below the Deep Sea".
Before having a relationship, I regarded sex as optional. Although I occasionally had thoughts, I was not sure whether both of us were ready.
Until one night, I had a s*xual impulse towards Wu Xie.

Writer's attribute: PingXie Only
Personal opinion: It's really really worth to read! The overall story is great 💖 The plot is not too fast or too slow, and the whole thing makes sense. I think PingXie is a type of ship where everything needs to be taken slowly, it's easy to become greasy if you don't write it carefully... and the writer really did a good job, even Xiaoge's smut part doesn't feel out of place. The double perspective is also impressive, I can feel Xiaoge's strong and independent personality here. I mean that he always has his own thought, even in canon, he isn't the type of character who likes to follow along blindly without thinking. He comes to this point because he wants to do so, he always has his own reason to do something. It's just that Wu Xie's perspective make it difficult to know what Xiaoge is thinking. This is one of the best window paper fics I've ever read! (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠。⁠*⁠♡
A little note: Dunlun means s*x between husband and wife, more info here.

[PX Fic Rec 104] 雪域幻境
by 熙山居
Translated title: Snowland Fantasy
Relationship: Zhang Qiling/Wu Xie
Writer's attribute: PingXie
Status: Complete + Extra
Language: Chinese
Length: 23 Chapters + Epilogue + 4 Extras
Tags: AR Setting/Canon Divergence—After Sand Sea 3
What's inside the fic: Third Person POV, Action/Adventure, Mystery/Suspense, Outsider Perspective, Godfather-Son's bonding moment, Master-Apprentice's bonding moment, Window Paper, HE
Warnings: Mild Gore (illusion), Li Cu feels like replacing Liu Sang XD, a little of HeiSu moment (maybe the writer didn't mean it romantically, the pairing in this fic is only PingXie as written), PingXie is Li Cu's godfather
About this fic:
Zhang Qiling was finally out of the Bronze Door, but it wasn't Wu Xie and Pangzi who picked him up. What happened to Wu Xie and why did he get out of the Bronze Door a few months earlier than their agreement?
Personal opinion:
This is one of popular PingXie classic fanfictions recommended by many people, and I also recommend it (⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧
Unlike other PingXie fics which usually only focus on their relationship, this fic gives us another different insight of the "ultimate" and "bronze door" from the canon version. This is the reason why I put this fic under the "canon divergence" tag. The writer did a good jod to build the bridge between "Sand Sea" and "Ten Years". Even in "Tibetan Sea Flower", they filled the gap about what happened to Zhang Haixing... I like this one (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)
The interesting point about this fic is although there is a seemingly heavy plot, the relationship between the characters are also written carefully. We could see PingXie from different perspectives, such as Li Cu and Zhang Haike. There are hidden jokes too to help ease the tension.
And then about PingXie, Wu Xie's personality is unique, it's different in each stage, but actually his true nature will never change. In this fic, he was supposed to be in Sha Hai state or "邪帝", but when he faced against Xiaoge he could change back to his innocent self (NPSS also implied it in an interview here). It's not unreasonable, I'm glad that the writer considered this matter. I think Sha Hai Xie is like a self-preservation, he changes to this personality when he is in danger or getting bullied. When he is in relaxed state, he won't show his fangs, it's no secret that Xiaoge is his sense of security. The "邪帝" in Sha Hai was filled with resentment in his heart that he couldn't let go, he felt uneasy and unsafe, he became the person he hated the most, isn't it sad to see Wu Xie like this? (⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)
The change of attitude isn't merely for the sake of shipping them, but it's also a part of his character. The writer didn't overstate this fact nor did they neglect it, I think it's adequate. It's really a good fic! ✨✨

Warnings: Mpreg, OOC warning by the writer, Mentioned of Other Pairings, OC (Zhang Xiaoxie—their child)
About this fic:
Zhang Qiling, Alpha, 34 years old, the leader of the Zhang Group, is also deeply troubled by being single today.
His rut is stable and not intense, with only one accompanying condition that makes him troublesome - total color blindness.
Personal opinion:
This one is a light romance, sweet and cute (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠`⁠*⁠) Although "marrying a rich man" is a popular romance theme, I think PingXie should have a fic with this theme too. There is a time skip in between which is I think it's appropriate since there is no complicated conflict in it, only the sweetness of love. It's enjoyable to read 💕

情钟·流光溢彩 [Love Bell · Ambilight] • 4 Parts
情钟·山木有枝 [Love Bell · Mountain Trees with Branches] • 3 Parts

[PX Fic Rec 102] 与君成说
by 夏子煦
Translated title: Talking to Juncheng*
Relationship: Zhang Qiling/Wu Xie
Writer's attribute: Unverified
Rating: M/R
Status: Complete
Language: Chinese
Length: 104 Chapters (Epilogue + Postscript)
Tags: Canon Setting—AR—Main Story Vol. 8—Go to the Bronze Door, Suspense, Supernatural Beings, Drama
What's inside the fic: Wu Xie's First Person POV, Angst with a Happy Ending
Warnings: Severe abusive environment or they continuously got suffered by the traps, other malicious things, and unlucky situations, brain death, Wu Xie's chrysanthemum got bleeding because there is no lubricant in the tomb..
Summary:
Back before the ending of Daomu Biji Vol. 8, Xiaoge went to Hangzhou. Can Wu Xie keep him who insists on his own way?
How should I express my long-suppressed feelings? You left to protect me. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you.
Their conflicts and emotions broke out during their trip to Changbai Mountain.
I only wish to hold my hand and talk to Juncheng*.
Personal opinion:
If you like abusive type of fics, then I recommend this one. Actually, it's kinda unbearable to me who like to read sweet fics T^T The first half of this fic is very good, I really like how the author wrote it, I wasn't lying when I said that I did cry because of some emotional scenes. It's just that it got more and more abusive in the later chapters. I feel like some PingXie old fics tends to be more sadistic and abusive, this one is not an exception, maybe because at that time the concept of "Yucun Biji" is like unexpected future >.<
A little note:
I don't know what "Juncheng" means T_T Maybe it refers to the supernatural force of the Bronze Door? Tianshou?

[PX Fic Rec 101] 张先生
by 孤舟闲行 (guzhouxianxing)
Translated title: Mr. Zhang
Relationship: Zhang Qiling/Wu Xie
Writer's attribute: PingXie||Ping (but this fic is purely PingXie)
Rating: M/R
Status: Incomplete
Language: Chinese
Length: 11 Chapters (On-going)
Tags: Canon Setting—Sha Hai/Sand Sea
What's inside the fic: Third Person POV
Warnings: B*SM, OOC warning is given by the author, it's not finished yet, although there is a possibility that she will continue to write it, it all depends on the feedback. The writer is PingXie||Ping, see the writer's explanation here
Summary:
Zhang Qiling accompanies Wu Xie through the difficult period by controlling his dreams.
Personal opinion:
I was just curious... In my opinion, PingXie is pure love type, something like B*SM feels out of place but somehow I can see the connection. I feel like Wu Xie is too obedient and trust Xiaoge so much to the point of doubting himself. Here and there he likes to praise Xiaoge to be so strong, even in canon. No wonder some people like to call it "dom笔记" (dom Notes) and that's understandable XD Anyway, this fic is interesting, the logic is also good so far. Xiaoge is a gentle S (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)
