    Summary

    Shen Yuan doesn't remember being Shen Jiu.

    But his hands remember how to fight. His tongue remembers old names. His heart remembers people he's never met.

    Three years of grief have cracked the mask he built.

    But his rage was never meant to be contained.

    So when Luo Binghe returns from the Abyss, he finds a Shizun who flinches from him—but leans into others. A Shizun who used to love him. A Shizun who gave that love away.

    Summary

    Liu Qingge screws up his beautiful face and, with the grace of a child dared to touch a particularly slimy newt, lurches forward to lift the red door’s heavy knocker. He raps it twice, then scurries back to take cover behind Shen Qingqiu’s arm.

    Shen Qingqiu stares. First at Liu Qingge, then at the bird overhead.

    “Are you unwell, shidi?” He asks.

    “You said you’d defend my honor,” Liu Qingge says.

    “Against what?

    (Liu Qingge is called back home to his family estate to meet a suitor and get married; he doesn't want to go and the sect can't afford to lose him, so Yue Qingyuan comes up with a plan to convince the Liu family that Liu Qingge is lost beyond all hopes of saving. Shen Qingqiu volunteers to play the role of Liu Qingge's despicable fiance without a thought as to what might happen when the jig is up.)

    Summary

    Delias eucharis, the common Jezebel, is a medium-sized pierid butterfly found in many areas of south and southeast Asia.


    As a warrior, Shen Qingqiu had known that his death would most likely come at the claws of a predator, that his beautiful wings might one day serve as a trophy for some enterprising demon, but he never could have predicted the kind of horrors this feathered beast had in store for him. He found himself helpless to fight the monster's vile tortures, his damaged body the focus of the mad demon's sick experiment, forever changed in a way none of his kind had ever endured before. :(

    Shen Yuan was excited that, years after transmigrating into this strange world, he was finally getting to meet one of the elusive fairy people! A shame it was only after said fairy had been mercilessly attacked, leaving one of their beautiful wings mangled and useless. Lucky for his new little friend, Shen Yuan remembers watching videos on butterfly wing repair! :)

    An Alternate Universe where Cultivators are all butterfly fairies and Demons are hybrids of various butterfly predators.

    2. Of, pertaining to, or characteristic of beasts; bestial; brutal; animal.

    Shen Jiu is trapped, injured, and basically feral after ending up in the Endless Abyss. Heavenly Demon Shen Yuan is used to dealing with frightened, injured beasts. How different could a savage cultivator be?

    Summary

    There was an aura of mystic whisperings around Zhao Qinglin. That surely the weight of future visions untethered him from this earthly coil as it did many Seers. What a crushing responsibility it must be, to subtly shift fate this way and that. How tragic, how sad- this is all reasonable for why Zhao Qinglin ignored the urgent request for the third time in a row! Or perhaps some tragedy was prevented by his non answer...

    That was how simpletons like his fellow Peak Lords rationalized it.

    Shen Qingqiu thought that perhaps Zhao Qinglin was just a lay about. Kan Zhanbu was the tiniest of the twelve Peaks. The last that Shen Qingqiu had heard, the Peak only boasted one Elder, two Masters, and five Disciples- none of this counting Zhao Qinglin himself. Unless he spent all day gazing into the sun, he had more than enough time to pick up a brush and do his job.

    The flap of a butterflies wings can cause storms halfway across the world. How might the winds of destiny shift if a heart is touched?
