    Summary

    The black veins had moved higher.
    One now curved beneath Shangjue’s jaw.
    Yuanzhi sat and took his wrist again.

    The skin was cold despite the fever. The pulse beneath it fluttered like the wing of something trapped and exhausted.


    “You will not die,” Yuanzhi said.
    Shangjue watched him.
    “And if I do?”
    “You will not.”

    When Gong Shangjue is struck by a nameless poison, Gong Yuanzhi is forced to make an impossible choice. The cure saves a life but leaves an unseen absence behind, binding them to a past only one can fully remember and a future neither knows how to face.
