    Summary

    Zhou Zishu takes the pipe, checks that the ember is still alive, and sets it in his mouth. When he sucks the smoke into his mouth, he can only just barely perceive the pungent herbal scent of it, like passing someone in the street who had smoked hours before. But it feels the same as it always has, hot and dry in the back of his throat. He holds it in his lungs, offers the pipe to Wen Kexing. Exhales slowly through his nose.

    On the road to Longyuan Pavilion.

    Summary

    He gathers his mask firmly in place – he knows how to play this game.

    “On your knees,” he tells Wen Kexing, a sliver of a knife’s edge in his voice.

    Wen Kexing folds and kneels at his feet. Up close, Zhou Zishu can see the way his long lashes brush against the dark bruises under his eyes, expertly hidden with makeup. His lips are tinted as red as his robes.

    Zhou Zishu catches the underlying currents of his own want and lets his arm flow with it, raising his hand to the man’s porcelain face. He presses his thumb to the soft swell of Wen Kexing’s lower lip, plush. Wen Kexing’s gaze flickers upwards and their eyes meet, and the mouth beneath Zhou Zishu’s finger stretches into a coquettish smile.

    In a world where slaves denote status, Zhou Zishu is given a slave he never wanted but cannot refuse.

    Summary

    Zhou Zishu smiled. It was pleasant to be transparent to this man, he thought. Weeks of traveling and days in his bed had undone the masks he had spent years fashioning. “I’m thinking we should pay your master a visit.”

    He watched shock break across Wen Kexing’s face, only to smooth out quickly. “We should?” he said.

    Summary

    "Qin Huaizhang's disciple, I'll ask you a question first. How willing are you to let that insolent shidi of yours trade his life for yours?" Coldness suffused his veins. If that was what Lao Wen chose to do, Zhou Zishu would follow him onto the Yellow Spring Road and drag him back into this world, kicking and screaming, and murder him himself. They lived together, or not at all.
    Ye Baiyi's lips curled into a sneer. "As I thought. I say, what's the point of going to all the trouble when you're just going to off yourself?"
    "I didn't say anything - "
    "It's written all over your dainty face."
    Zhou Zishu blinked, unsure what part of that sentence he should be taking offense at, if at all.
    "How willing are you to suffer the pain of death, no, pain worse than death, pain that would leave you wishing you were dead - "
    "That I can do." Zhou Zishu interjected.

    Or, a different road taken but all roads lead to home; in which Zhou Zishu's self-inflicted accelerated hurtle toward death is discovered early on, and it turns out that Fate is capable of dealing a much kinder hand toward two men with irrevocably bloodied hands and what constitutes their found family.
