    Summary

    It was inevitable, the smell—it hung around every Yujian Bang assassin and spy like a damp robe, trailing out behind them in ribbons. Prostitutes and brothel workers always smelled of flowers and tea, scholars smelled of ink and incense, and upstanding martial warriors smelled of the wind and the loam. The bottoms of ponds and rivers. Mulch. Yujian Bang, the Jade Sword Gang, smelled of blood—of animals, of Blood Prisoners, of their own.

    Summary

    Jiang Yanli knows that she is unremarkable and disappointing.

    Her constitution is weak, and her energies must be devoted to keeping her lungs full and her heart beating. She possesses neither the reflexes for skilled swordsmanship nor the sharpness for archery. Worse still, she lacks the ambition, the drive, the spine that is required of a sect heir.

    The physicians and healers at Lotus Pier warn her family to strictly limit her efforts at cultivation, as she cannot divert too much qi from her body’s primary needs. Cultivation leaves her prone to headaches, fainting, and most dangerously, the risk of qi deviation.

    Jiang Yanli can only ever cycle her qi in slow drips and thin streams. So she learns over the years to be patient with it. To be like the water, slowly wearing away at wood, stone, or whatever lies in its path towards its purpose. If this is the way for her to slowly work her qi, to carefully gather it and collect it in a usable form, she will take it.

    If her qi is too weak to cultivate by sword, she will cultivate by needle.

    Summary

    It happens like this: Lan Wangji is digging in the backyard, turning up the earth for the beginnings of his new garden. His shovel hits something hard beneath the dirt. The world explodes into shadow around him.

    A cold hand clamps down on his shoulder, and Lan Wangji feels the hair on his neck stand on end. 

    “Get lost!” screeches the voice in his ear. “Get lost, get lost, get lost!” 

    Lan Wangji's garden is haunted by an ancient spirit. He tries to set it free—with complications.
