    Summary

    Xie Lian is getting married to his ghost, which is fine, it's whatever - or it would be if it didn't make Mu Qing keep thinking about a certain person--things! Just random things!

     

    Sometimes there’ll be a quality to the light in the mortal realm or a scent and he’s back there, like he never left: the cramped space beneath the window, the unraveling knit of a homespun blanket, a thumb pressing, light, at the pulse in his throat. Like that he’s back to being suddenly seventeen, the stupidest age imaginable. And he can prove, in short order, why that’s true.

     

    But he doesn’t go there; he stops at threshold, draws the door firmly shut over the last full evening of his mortal life. Only it’s been harder to do that lately, and he’s been catching glimpses of it in the tail of his mind’s eye. The bead of water at the corner of Feng Xin's lip, licked slowly away. The long, heavy-lidded stare...

    Summary

    “Like, you could’ve said that I’m–”

    “So brave and strong for surviving? Oh, I was so, so worried. Good job for surviving so long without me,” Mu Qing says, rolling his eyes while drawling out the last sentence, words so saccharine they send chills creeping down his spine. “Good boy, Feng Xin.”

    A strange, warm tingle spreads through Feng Xin's body, all the way to the tips of his fingers, as he feels his face flush.

    The first realization that strikes his poor, poor heart: Mu Qing staring at him with his piercing, slightly mean gaze, saying nice things about him however sarcastic it may be, makes his heart burst and skin burn.

    Summary

    Amidst the blossoming recent developments of their relationship, Feng Xin and Mu Qing are summoned to investigate strange new occurrences in an island shared between their two southern domains. They quickly realize that the island holds secrets which may be beyond even their comprehension: declining worship, broken arrays, poisons, a cult leader, an atheist governor, inter-sect conflict, political instability, a vibrant red-light district, a mangrove monster, ghostly interventions, and a secret history which cannot remain buried forever....

    Feng Xin knows that he and Mu Qing are something. But is it love, or is Mu Qing only curious about one thing? And can they clear up their misunderstandings, or is courting Mu Qing a bad idea from the start, doomed to fail like his last great love?

    Mu Qing doesn't know what he wants. He knows that Feng Xin is attracted to him, but will Feng Xin stay by his side once he gets what he's after? Is it worth the risk of opening up, or is he putting his cultivation--and their current relationship--in danger?

    Title is from Li Yu's poem, My Idle Dreams Roam Far (Gazing at the South).

    Summary

    'I’m here, let me in.'

    Mu Qing startled again, hitting his elbow against the window frame. It didn't hurt, but it was strange to fall into such clumsiness.

    'Where’s that?'

    Within the array, Feng Xin huffed.

    'Where else? Come to your fine wooden doors, General, before I kick them in.'

    Summary

    “You want me to come with you on the holiday that you specifically booked for you and your girlfriend?”

    “Ex-girlfriend,” Sirius corrects.

    Remus looks at Sirius searchingly, and once again, several emotions flicker across his face; only this time, his expression lands on something like hope.

    “Yeah. Okay.”

    or,

    Sirius is dumped by his girlfriend and drags his best friend on a holiday across Europe. And somewhere between Berlin clubs, Parisian boulevards, and Transylvanian villages, they fall into each other.
