    Summary

    Hua Cheng has no interest in gaining an animal companion, but when a mortal drags an old and filthy dog into the Gambler's Den he can't bring himself to leave it to a life of familiar abuse.

    Xie Lian, meanwhile, is having a much more pleasant time as a dog now that a mysterious ghost has brought him home.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng lowers his hand, and both Feng Xin and Mu Qing crash to the floor. Feng Xin winds up with rugburn on his cheekbone and a dislocated shoulder, getting the better end of the deal than Mu Qing, whose nose is gushing blood between his fingers. Payback for earlier, at least—but his satisfaction is short-lived when Xie Lian hiccups a sob on the divan and then breaks into a string of rapid cries so panicked they sound painful. He slaps at the cushions of the divan, terror escalating, eyes wide open.

    “Help, help, help, help,” he gasps between cries. “Help me. Help me. Please. Please!

    When a tongueless spirit appears in the south and curses ghosts, gods, and mortals alike with catatonia, Hua Cheng, Mu Qing, and Feng Xin must work together to solve the mystery behind the curse and save Xie Lian from the horrors ravaging his mind.

    They may never find a cure, however, if the villagers plagued by the spirit don’t stop lying to them at every turn.

    Summary

    Freshly-formed ghost fire Ban Yue, still reeling from her death and her betrayal of a whole city, retreats to the tomb of General Hua to pay her respects, to rest, and to try and find some comfort and purpose in the memory of the man who raised her.

    What she finds instead is an intruder in red, who seems to have his own interest in General Hua. In return for stories about him, the ghost in red promises to help her get stronger so she can fulfill whatever purpose has kept her here.

    Training montages and sibling nonsense (and also angst, so much of that) ensue!

    Summary

    [Book 5 Spoilers Within]

    Once, the emperor of heaven saw that his troublesome successor had what he had always desired so dearly. To teach him a priceless lesson, he took it for himself.

    Xie Lian just wants his beloved back, no matter what it costs him.

    Summary

    [Spoilers for All 5 Books]

    “Don’t leave me,” Xie Lian begs, “San Lang, stay. Please.”


    After the final battle, Hua Cheng stays with Xie Lian. It should be good. Xie Lian should be grateful. He should be happy.

    Instead, he's terrified. Maybe it would have been easier for Xie Lian to believe in something he couldn't see than to trust in the strength of a silent, flickering ghost fire.

    Summary

    When the thick black fog of the curse clears, there’s a child standing in front of Xie Lian. He’s small—he’s so, so small—and as soon as he sees Xie Lian, he wraps his arms around himself and hunches his shoulders like he’s trying to make himself even smaller. There is not a single spark of recognition in that wide, wild eye.

    “...San Lang?!”

    When a curse turns Hua Cheng into a child again, it's up to Xie Lian to take care of him. It's a task easier said than done, when Hua Cheng's memories have regressed along with the rest of him.

    Summary

    Years after Nie Mingjue’s death, Nie Huaisang goes back in time to prevent it from happening by killing Meng Yao before he can become a monster. Nothing goes as planned.

    Nie Huaisang gave a heavy sigh. None of it excused the things Jin Guangyao had done. None of it would make him forgive his brother’s death.

    But did it have to be that way? This was a child. A child who was crying in the night, on the cold stone he had as a bed, because someone he looked up to had hurt him. How could he blame him for what he had become? How could he say that this boy deserved death? Who was he to make that judgment?

    Could he save both his brothers?

    Or: Nie Huaisang accidentally adopts a bunch of chaos gremlins.

    Summary

    Jin Guangyao would do absolutely ANYTHING for his father, but when Jin Guangshan's eyes start lingering on Huaisang, he finds a line he wouldn't cross.

    (Because if his father makes a move on Huaisang, Nie Mingjue would tear off Jin Guangyao's limbs or his head on his way to stab Sect Leader Jin, and Jin Guangyao would like to live, thank you. It's safer for everyone for Jin Guangshan to just. stop. looking.)

    Summary

    The Nie sect leaders were doomed to not only to particularly dire qi deviations and inevitable death on account not only of their cultivation method, but to a duty from the heavens to stop the calamities that threatened the world; it was their fate, their inheritance, and even, it was said, that it was the trade they had struck, in order to save the rest of their sect from suffering the same fate they did. And, yes, the more exceptional the sect leader, the more talented, the greater the calamity they would face, which meant that Nie Mingjue’s calamity would be especially dire, but…why did he care about that? Nie Mingjue had never shied away from a challenge before.

    Even if the challenge here was likely to be his younger brother, Nie Huaisang – a fox-child, with his mother’s eyes, and dangerous with it.

    “So, you seem bored,” Nie Huaisang said.

    Wei Wuxian looked up from where he was playing mournful songs of loneliness on his dizi and put on his best ‘what are you talking about’ expression, though he knew it wasn’t very believable under the circumstances. “What? Don’t be ridiculous. I’m not bored at all.”

    “No? Then what are you doing?”

    “Things! Many, many things, all sorts of – hey, what are you doing here anyway?”

    Summary

    It is an odd thing, to be the only adult amidst a gaggle of teenagers.

    Frankly, it is exhausting. They have certain…. expectations of him, especially the Gusu Lan juniors, and Huaisang has made it a life mission of his to never rise up to anyone’s expectations, but they just won’t let it go.

    -

    It is weird to realise that you have lived longer than you've planned for. Nie Huaisang learns to deal with the aftermath.
