[lotusrootcake-recs]

Guidelines:

Please keep submissions & recs to things related to content involving Nezha and/or Ao Bing! Includes Nezha (2019-2025) but also includes Nezha Conquers the Dragon King (1979), The Legend of Nezha (Cartoon) etc.

Some fics will be explicit and will be marked accordingly. Please practice discernment and Don't Like Don't Read.

I share both English and Chinese fics from Ao3.

I also translate Chinese Ou Bing fics into English to help authors reach a bigger audience, but I only do so 1) with the permission of the original author 2) with proper credit. If you would like to recommend a fic for me to translate, let me know and I'll talk to the author to see if they're okay with it!

My Ao3 is CelestalStars, I post translations there.

Keep in mind that I'm more comfortable expressing myself in English, so this blog will mainly be in that.

Feel free to also submit asks with what you'd like to read, and I'll rec you some fics! Do clarify what language you'd prefer, and if you'd prefer to opt out of any explicit fics recommendations.

Feel free to submit your own fics!

The Marriage of the Demon Child Nezha by saezutte

Summary: When Nezha was told about his betrothal to the Third Prince, he hoped he'd find a friend in his future husband. But when he arrives to start their lives together, he finds Ao Bing to be cold and distant, not at all the companion of his heart he'd hoped for. As he adjusts to life as the consort of the Third Prince of the Eastern Sea, he discovers there was more to their betrothal—and to his husband—than he'd ever realized.

Request from @thirdlotusprince3: Do you think you could find a Nezha and Ao Bing Mystery/Detective fic? I would love that.

bird's-cry to loving you by Anonymous

Summary: Snippets of bamboo carved from the story of Ao Bing and Nezha, on the opposite sides of prison bars, separated yet together in their circumstances. Alike yet different in their fates. Cycling through phases like the watchful moon. Friends. Muses. Lovers. Husbands. Strangers. Enemies. Soulmates.

(Technically not mystery/detective but I thought a prison AU adjacent to that.)

【云冰】业火焚舟 by @bayeyeye:

Summary: >小警察✖️二世祖 >黄里搞纯爱⚠️ >设定在现实世界 308大案，九级村群体性癔症。 初出茅庐的小警察李云祥分配到重案组特别部门实习，跟随小队调查此案，看似简单的案子却被德家三公子横插一脚。八字不合，缘分天定。李云祥又开始做起小时候做过的同一个梦，梦中琥珀色的眼，告诉他，来见我吧。 极东之土，万河入海。丘山横卧，瘴气纵生。人烟罕至之处，万山环绕之间，有一海眼，极深，不可测。闻古人言，直通幽冥。 相传明朝天启六年，山火燎原，海眼坠龙。

Translated Summary: Young Police Officer X Second-Generation Heir Pure Romance in a Crime Thriller ⚠️ Set in the Real World The 308 Major Case: a mass hysteria incident in the Jiuji Village. Rookie police officer Li Yunxiang is assigned to intern at the Special Unit of the Major Crimes Division. He followed the team to investigate the case. What seemed like a straightforward case is unexpectedly disrupted by the intervention of the third young master of the De family. Their personalities clash, yet fate has other plans. Li Yunxiang began to have the same dream he had when he was a child. The amber eyes in the dream told him to come find him. "Come find me." IIn the far east, thousands of rivers flow into the sea. Hills and mountains lie across the land, and miasma is rampant. In a land rarely touched by human presence, deep within an unbroken mountain range, there lies the eye of the sea, unfathomably deep. Ancient texts speak of it: A gateway straight to the underworld. According to legend, in the sixth year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty, a fire spread all over the mountains, and a dragon fell into the eye of the sea.

(This is Li Yunxiang/Ao Bing but I count it as Nezha/Ao Bing because he's a reincarnation of Nezha.) Fic not translated, let me know if you're interested in an English translation!

Someone Important by CloversDreams

Summary: Lady Yin put a hand upon his shoulder and continued to smile warmly. There was a knowing look in her eyes as she added, “What I wish for you to take away from this is simple, Nezha. If someone is important to you, you should make an effort to show them.” Nezha watched his mother turn then walk off while she muttered something about last minute preparations. That was some odd advice, though he supposed it made sense. He kept his gaze on the ground as he wandered over to the nearest tree and plopped down beneath it. Since the only guest he cared to see hadn’t arrived yet, the waiting game continued. He shut his eyes and leaned his head back against the bark as he continued to think about his mother’s parting words. Someone important to him, huh? He and Aobing spent the last fifteen years being one another’s companion, best friend, greatest comfort, biggest annoyance, sparring partner, rival… everything, really. Nezha never gave it much thought. It was just how things were once they had physical form again. They did complete one another, after all.

every victory worth praising by serpentinerose

Summary: The yaksha nodded thoughtfully. Finally, it delivered the verdict with aplomb: “You’re not broken.” “No?!” Nezha shot up. “You grew up too fast. Things are just a little wonky; you have to get used to dealing with your…” The yaksha made a vague gesture at all that. “… Biology. Listen, kid. I assure you it’s all quite standard.” “How do I do that?” He would do almost anything to get back to normal. The yaksha was proving to be far more knowledgeable than he’d expected; hope filled Nezha in an almost painful squeeze. The yaksha spread its thick, fleshy lips in a leer. “You have to mate with the little dragon beauty." Nezha deals with his changing body. Things are... complicated.
