    Summary

    “What am I going to do with your name?” Max asks, a little incredulous.

    “Whatever you want,” the salesman says. “Didn’t you want something real?”

    Max heard a story once about the importance of answering questions like that carefully. If something emerges from the forest and asks for your name, don’t give it up, the story went. Offer only what you know you can live without. She’s never heard a story that tells her what to do when something emerges from the forest and offers its name to you.

    Summary

    “Sir Su, I believe I have been given a certain drug. My mother sent a message warning me of it. It could have been placed in my food or drink at any time in the last two days; its initial action is slow. She said I would know when it began, and advised me to keep only company I could trust for the hours it lasted.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    He’s in a haze at the office, as if this is not his real life. His real life is waiting for him in another place. He stays hungry so he can be fed in the apartment. It’s not sane, it’s not really healthy.

    Summary

    Like a fool, Jingyan had believed Lin Chen when he said Mei Changsu—Xiao Shu--was dead for the second time.

    In Jingyan's defense, who expected someone to fake their death twice? Wasn't it--just a little--over the top?

    Summary

    "And what sort of story is Shizun's favorite?" Luo Binghe asks, not really caring about the answer. Luo Binghe's shizun is an air-headed man who hides his inanity behind his fan; surely, whatever it is that Shen Qingqiu deems to read in his free time, it must be something equally ridiculous and superficial. Probably romance, Luo Binghe thinks. Perhaps cultivation adventure stories where the hero always gets the girl and slays evil.

    Shen Qingqiu flips his fan open to hide his face. "Revenge stories," he replies.

    AU where Luo Binghe is raised by Tianlang-Jun. When Yue Qingyuan kills his father, Luo Binghe resolves to settle the score.
