    Summary

    “How can you mistreat him so, shixiong?” Mu Qingfang asked one night, during a late visit to the bamboo house. “Yuan’er is the very picture of his mother. He is all you have left of her, and yet—”

    “His resemblance to his mother is the only reason I did not snap his neck in the cradle,” Shen Qingqiu growled. “He has his father’s eyes, and I look upon them every day and care for the child regardless. Is that not enough?”

    In the side room, Shen Yuan crept over to the mirror and stared at his reflection. He knew that he looked like his deceased mother, and that the two of them could have passed for twins if she were still alive. He knew, too, that he had his father’s eyes: deep and black as a starless night, and narrowed in perpetual discontent.

    If Shen Yuan were truly Shen Qingqiu’s son, he would have hated those queer black eyes, just as Shen Qingqiu did. But as a transmigrated college student from the twenty-first century, he had never cared about Shen Qingqiu's opinions, much less considered him his father.

    Or: in his twenty-first year in the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way, Shen Yuan runs away, falls in love, and reunites with his mother.

    Summary

    “He came from the shadows, in the middle of the night,” Tianlang-jun would tell his little son, when he crept into his parents’ bed and asked to hear the story of his birth for the fourth time in as many days. “I was out of my wits with rage, and I turned—and behind me, I saw a young xianjun with great doe’s eyes and a fretful mouth, and a sword so fierce that he could not draw it for fear that its radiance would set the woods ablaze.”

    “Who was he?” Binghe would gasp in return, as if he had not heard the tale a hundred times before.

    Or: twenty-three years after their parting, Luo Binghe reunites with Yue Qingyuan.

    Summary

    It was said, now and then, that the only person whose will governed Yue Qingyuan—apart from Yue Qingyuan himself, of course—was his eldest shidi, Shen Qingqiu.

    It was said somewhat more often that the only commands Shen Qingqiu obeyed were those of his shimei Qiu Haitang.

    In which Qiu Haitang is a disciple of Cang Qiong Mountain, and Shen Jiu is both author and leading performer in a tragedy of errors.
