A year later Doctor Cheng Xinyan remembers.

The brothers haven't seen food in days.

It's just a small wound, barely more than a graze, but Shen Wei acts as if Zhao Yunlan might be dying.

Ye Zun hasn't met Zhao Yunlan yet, but he already hates him. Shen Wei hasn't been the same since he met the rookie police officer — the smiling isn't a problem in itself, but Ye Zun isn't used to having to share those smiles. It's Ye Zun's job to tease them out of his brother. He doesn't like that some cop they barely know can do it, too.

Allied Dixing turned a blind eye to any and all indiscretions committed by the foreign General Kunlun. The Black Robed Envoy owed Kunlun his life, so the Dixing forces would never speak against him. The Envoy defended his people with every power he had, and they followed without question.

Zhao Yunlan has a birthday.

"You know, I thought about you a lot," Zhao Yunlan said. "Back when I first met you."

Shen Wei is afraid.

He is used to that feeling; he still remembers being petrified on the battlefield, but he has never before been afraid of things that didn’t concern fighting. It’s there now, though and Shen Wei doesn’t know how he’ll ever manage this fear.

There's a reason for the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on Shen Wei's door, written in his elegant calligraphy and which all of his university students unflinchingly obey. And its existence is completely Zhao Yunlan's fault because he's the reason for the desk incident.

This is how I make sense of Shen Wei telling Zhao Yunlan, "I looked for you for 10,000 years."

Looking out, I see it’s no good. I can never return…but it doesn't matter.
I guess we can't meet again under the setting sun.

In which Ye Zun has someone on his side, even if that someone is technically his soul.

Each chapter is a stand-alone vignette, set at various times during the series. Summaries will be at the start of each chapter.

Zhao Yunlan's tired of secrets, but he's more tired of sleeping alone.

Guo Changcheng figures out what (and who) he needs to truly allow him to live his life well.
