Chapter 14: How Absurd, How Ironic Chunna heard me out, her lips twitching up into a shy smile. Seeing her finally crack one, I stood, beckoning Kun Hongtu along. “Bro, what’re you up to?” He tagged behind obediently. “Watching the show.” I crept to a window on the house’s side, peeking half my face in. Kun Hongtu mimicked me, squatting below, just his eyes poking up. Winter kept the windows shut; voices dulled through glass, but the folks inside were loud enough—no strain…-

Chapter 13: Know That and Get Lost For a moment, the air seemed to stop moving. The hand under my palm had broad bones, its surface cool like jade—and, just as I’d imagined, not soft at all. “Thanks.” After a brief silence, Mochuan thanked me, then pulled free from my grip. My hand emptied. I clenched it, shoving it into my pocket. The room fell quiet, the mood icing over. “I’m heading to the main hall. When Chuwen’s back, tell him to find me there.” Mochuan stood, heading…-

Chapter 12: No Thank You? Following the boy’s directions, I reached a shabby little courtyard. Beyond a flimsy excuse for a fence gate sat two squat mud houses—one big, one small. Bright outside, but inside, dark and cold. “Sister Baizhen?” I called from the doorway into the dim interior. The reply came from the smaller house behind me. Smoke curled from its chimney—probably the kitchen. As I headed there, someone stepped out. She looked barely twenty, strikingly beautiful—deep…-

Chapter 11: Scum Deserve Everyone’s Wrath The clothes Mochuan brought me were casual, carrying a strong, fragrant wood scent—like they’d just been pulled from a camphor chest. He’s taller than me, so the pant legs were long—I folded them up a bit. The sweater, too, hung loose, collar gaping, but a jacket hid it well. Beyond clothes, he handed me a towel and socks—both unopened, brand new. Short of underwear, he’d covered everything—thoughtful as hell. Dressed, I stuffed my…-

Chapter 10: Feather of God The dock was small, hosting just one weathered wooden boat. A group huddled by it, murmuring—then Mochuan glanced up, spotted me, froze briefly, and strode over. “What are you doing here?” His brow furrowed, voice edged with irritation, like my presence repulsed him. “Just wandering,” I said, peering past him. He stepped to block me, spitting two curt words: “Go back.” I nearly laughed from sheer exasperation. “Can you tell a person from a dog?…-

Chapter 1: None but the Divine May Touch The car jolted along, and I dozed off in a hazy slumber. Caught between dream and reality, my thoughts leaped through a kaleidoscope of bizarre scenes—one moment I was riding a roller coaster at an amusement park, the next I stood on the moon’s surface. In the blink of an eye, seasons shifted from cold to warm. I found myself before a mountain gate, gazing up at the elegant, timeless characters on the plaque above: “Jizhu Temple.” The voices of the…-
