    Summary

    “I’m Shen Yuan,” he said, because it felt rude not to offer something in return. He tipped his head toward the back table. “And that’s Shen Tang.”

    “Charmed,” Shen Jiu drawled.

    He did not sound so. He sounded like he had found a new category of nuisance and was deciding whether to file Shen Yuan under it permanently.

    “Are you always this welcoming to new customers?”

    “Only the ones I suspect of being stalking, controlling weirdos.”

    “Good to know I’m special.”

    Shen Jiu’s mouth twitched.

    or

    Shen Yuan’s romcom adventure begins with sibling blackmail, tea he did not ask for, and crochet he definitely did not agree to. It might have stayed that way, too, if not for a certain prickly, unfairly cute teahouse owner who kept giving him reasons to come back.

    Summary

    “Don’t go to Jisan Village, Shen Yuan.”

    He woke with a gasp.

    Shen Yuan only came to Jisan for his health. Clean mountain air, a beautiful old house, a few quiet weeks away from Shanghai—that was supposed to be all.

    But Jisan has been waiting for a Shen to come home.

    As the Autumn Festival approaches and chrysanthemums bloom throughout the village, its hospitality begins to feel less like kindness and more like preparation.

    By the time Shen Yuan understands what his good fortune truly means, he is already dressed in red.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan’s daemon shivers her shape again and again and again. She is a dozen different, vibrantly-colored birds, almost obscene against the austerity of his bedchamber. She flies across the room. She perches on the windowsill, and becomes carrion-eater after carrion-eater. She makes him look at her. She does not let him look away.

    His golden core is new. It fills up his meridians, his lower dantian. She can feel it too.

    That night, for the first time, she flies out of the window as a silvery-black crow. She makes it an arm’s length out into the night before their tether pulls her back.

    Summary

    Shen Jiu hasn’t slept in three months.

    The Warm Red Pavilion has always been the one place that doesn’t ask questions, where he can close his eyes and let someone else keep watch for a while. When the person who used to sit with him is suddenly gone, Shen Jiu accepts a substitute without thinking too hard about what that might mean.

    What begins as a practical solution turns into something quietly destabilizing. Shen Jiu finds himself resting in a way he never has before, and in a world that insists on misunderstanding care as indulgence, that kind of relief is dangerous.
