    Summary

    "Luo Binghe has a deep, nearly endless well of hatred and anxiety. It has been carved into his chest with jagged, tearing pulls of a dull knife over and over again. By the children of the manor his mother worked for, holding their scorn in grinning, gapped-toothed taunts and clenched fists. By his mother’s death, her absence choking him with too much grief to handle at such a young age. By the streets. By the starving dogs biting his shins and heels. By his reflection in their beady, sunken eyes. By the long, hungry trek up the mountain. By his Shizun. Delicate, scholarly hands carving and rending the pit deeper and wider. By his peers; mocking and belittling and beating.
    Shen Yuan seems utterly dedicated; completely, totally devoted to slowly filling it.
    Had Luo Binghe previously had a moment to sit and contemplate his life, he might have thought the anger too deeply rooted to ever let go. Even now, he doubts he’ll ever be without the scars from his hurt.
    But Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan.
    Shen Yuan is baffling in his existence. "

    Summary

    He only wanted a fight. What he got was a dying demon on his back, a fever that melted his strength to nothing, and an An Ding rat begging him not to kill anyone in the middle of an inn room. Between assassins, treacherous Huan Hua inventions, and the cold-born monster sharing his bed, Liu Qingge’s accidental demon hunt becomes the one mistake he can’t cut his way out of. In the heat of summer, with his blood burning and winter breathing at his neck, he learns that not all enemies stay where you put them— and some, inexplicably, refuse to leave.

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu manages to change his foretold fate by saving Liu Qingge in the Ling Xi caves. Unfortunately, the cultivation world is a lot less happy about this than Shen Qingqiu would have hoped.

    This might have to do with the fact that the Liu Qingge who Shen Qingqiu saved is not quite human.
