In a torrid affair with a03

My heart! Qiao Xian learned how to make Cui Buqu's comfort food! p.275

Ehehehehehe. I love the fact that Cui Buqu and Feng Xiao know one another so well. Cui Buqu called out Pei Jingzhe so fast. p.278

I also wondered why he was in drag. I'm glad Pei Jingzhe asked him. p.281

This family is suspicious as fuck. What are they hiding with this supposed body, if they don't want Cui Buqu to examine the body? p.283

This book and it's cliffhangers!

1. Peerless [Wushuang]: Chapter 26-31

Summary:

On a snowy night, an envoy sent by the Kingdom of Khotan is ambushed on the road, massacred with his escort. Not a living soul remains, and the attackers vanish—along with a precious jade intended as tribute to the Emperor of Sui. A member of the emperor’s secret intelligence agency, the Jiejian Bureau, pursues the case: the formidable deputy chief, Feng Xiao. His investigation takes him to Liugong City, where top martial artists from across the land gather for a mysterious auction.

But a rival intelligence agency, the Zuoyue Bureau, has business in the same city—and they have sent Cui Buqu, an ailing but brilliant man who hides more secrets than even Feng Xiao. Equally proud, the two immediately clash in a battle of wits, but neither can crack the case alone. To solve the mystery before the trail goes cold, they will have to join hands to uncover the truth…however unwillingly.

In the last bit of book 1!

I am reading a chapter a day of this one- you can follow along through this tag Bloopitynoot Reads Peerless.

2. Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman [Read Chapters 13-28]

Summary:

You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That’s what.

Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show.

Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.

I just started this book and series and MY GOD. It has me in a chokehold

what a ridiculous, horrifying, and incredibly funny story

Princess Donut, may she reign forever.

If anyone is reading/has read this dm me I'm down to chat about it!

3. All The Words I Never Got To Say by Lost_Stories [125,634]

Summary:

He has a lot of time to think as he learns to walk. A lot of time to plan. He’ll do it right, this time. He has no idea why he was given this second chance, but he cannot waste it. He must succeed. For Da-ge, and Er-ge, and Wei-xiong, and even for San-g–Jin Gua–for Meng Yao. For the Meng Yao that lived with them, who had once, long ago, loved them. Who talked down Da-ge when he was mad, smiled that viciously clever smile when he beat Huaisang at weiqi…

The Meng Yao that Huaisang had loved, once upon a time. 

When Nie Huaisang inexplicably wakes up as a baby, he realises that he has a chance to change everything. Armed with the knowledge of the future, the headshaker tries to change the past.

This was such a solid fic to start my week

I love a time travel fix it, but this was a whole other level

It was raw and hard and worth it in the end

I would never have thought to pair his huaisang with meng yao, but im into it!

4. paint smears on sunny days by SnowshadowAO3 [53,808]

Summary:

To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

He comes close, though.

By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

“Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.   (Or: Falling in love with your son’s art teacher, in five parts)

This was one of the first fics i read in this fandom. It is still one of my favs and will forever hold a place in my heart!

So sweet, so domestic, no angst to be seen

10000/10 a comfort fic <3

5. finally safe (for me to fall) by sassybluee [77,499]

Summary:

Lan Wangji, a single dad down on his financial luck, begins offering his services as a sugar baby. Not only is it a lucrative financial opportunity, but it's also as a chance to embrace his sexuality without the stresses of a romantic relationship

When he meets his first client, Wei Wuxian, he’s fully confident he can gain experience while also keeping details of his personal life from the caring older man. But as time progresses, and his relationship with Wei Wuxian begins to shift, Lan Wangji can’t stop the lines between professional and personal from blurring.

This is another fic i read early on in this fandom, and I adore it so much

I love a good sugar baby/sex worker to marriage pipeline fic and this is [chefs kiss]

I am also weak for a bottomji story! This one is especially tender hearted:'3

6. no one ever said the single-plank bridge had to be walked alone by rosemu [174,009]

Summary:

“Have you heard? The esteemed Second Jade of Lan, Hanguang-jun, has defected from the Lan sect! He’s living at the Burial Mounds now apparently.”

“What?! That scourge, the Yiling Patriarch, has managed to corrupt even the most ideal, upstanding cultivator. How truly terrifying!”

Lan Wangji learns to follow his heart over the rules just a little earlier and it changes some things.

Another reread of a fic that quickly became a comfort blanket ♡

This was another I read early on in my intro to the mdzs fandom

Its filled with found family, building yourself a life, and the sweetest of sweet endings ♡

7. two emperors by Rici_chan [23,812]

Summary:

Shen Yuan had transmigrated 50 years ago. As Shen Qingqiu he was in the setting of “Proud Immortal Demon Way”.

Only, he had been reborn in the body of Shen Qingqiu, future Emperor of the human realm around 50 years before the main story happened.

or

How Shen Yuan helps Binghe to conquer the demon realm, only to find friendship, freedom and love along the way.

This was recommended to me and I am so happy I read it 🥹

I love this characterization of shen yuan; older, experienced, and so very confident. It made the dynamic with binghe so different

A stellar ending too!

8. It grows in waves and bounds by Jotem27 [36,694]

Summary:

Qiongqi Dao at the morning of Jin Ling's three month celebration:

  Lan Wangji hurriedly jumped off his sword, landed beside Wei Wuxian and caught him when he fell.

He screamed “Wei Ying!” and tumbled to his knees, his dying friend in his lap.

Wei Wuxian looked up at him, smiling with blood running out of his mouth and voiced a last low, “Lan Zhan.”

For Lan Wangji, time stood still, he could only stare at his dead friend and whisper his name again and again.

Blood from a horrid chest wound dropped onto Lan Wangji's white and azure festive robes and on the earth.

Two arrows in Wei Wuxian's chest protruded into the air.

This was surprisingly very sweet!!

I expected the major death/s[?] But I didnt expect them to be a little bit funny 😅 wwx really takes it in stride!

I also adored the changes in lan qiren- I love when this man gets a character arc

Lovely read

That's what I read!

I welcome all fic recs for SVSSS or MDZS!!!

If you want a personalized fic list I am offering lists for Wangxian (some other MDZS pairings) and bingqiu, liushen, bingliushen (and some other SVSSS pairings) -just send me a dm with your theme and criteria! If I have fics that I have read that fit the vibe, I will happily rec a list <3

For half a second I thought Feng Xiao was being humbled, then: "No matter how dark one's mood, nothing lifted the spirits quite like seeing someone worse off than oneself." p.262

My god, I feel like the call me Daddy gag will live on into the infinity. p.264

Well LOL. How old is Feng Xiao? This is the shit 10 year olds do XD He could have left an actual note, but instead chose to draft it on Cui Buqu's face. p.267

Oh no. I have a feeling that Lord Lu killed his own kid. For what even; the fact that she didn't love the guy they tried to set up for her? I mean better than her cousin, but oof-- I want to know what happened in this situation. p.272

I'm so glad Cui Buqu has his two people

Pei Jingzhe has such intern energy and I want this guy protected at all costs. p.246

Even in this moment, where Qian Xian and Zhangsun Bodhi know Cui Buqu is with the Jiejian Bureau, Pei Jingzhe still is not a snitch. p.247

This kid definitely needs some more experience with diplomacy though. "If anyone dares to act recklessly, I will execute Lu Ti on the spot." p.253

"Could you...shut your fucking mouth." I'm CRYING. This is so funny. Feng Xiao might be trying in his own way to help, but Cui Buqu is not having any of it right now. p.257

Cui Buqu: He's a ten, but he doesn't shut the fuck up about himself. p.258.

These two are so funny

LOL! Cui Buqu has been clocked. p.237

Wait, is Feng Xiao actually honoring the 'there's an old person of unknown gender, giving me orders behind a screen' act?? p.238

"Deputy Chief Feng. You really are the best-looking person I've ever met." ... "But you're also the most thick-skinned and shameless person I've ever met." p.239

'Late Hulugu' - are we in the recent past canon of thousand autumns?? p.239

"For the first time in his life, Feng Xiao, Deputy Bureau Chieg Feng, spent a span of a several minutes reflecting on his actions." The first time? Bro. Maybe don't poison people without a background check. p.241

👀👀 "I'm injured too. Why not come closer? We can huddle for warmth." ... "Get the fuck over here then." The ART. p.244

I am obsessed

Damn, Cui Buqu was tasked with no small thing! Feng Xiao is playing detective, but Cui Buqu is in a 007 court mission. p.231

Wait, so this isn't the first envoy to just die before getting to the meeting point? The first went from... food poisoning. That's suspicious. p.231

That's incredible luck. For Fo'er to mistake Feng XIao as his target when it's really Cui Buqu- bro is blessed with good fortune. p.233

Cui Buqu: I might as well come clean if we're going to be working together. Also Cui Buqu: My name is definitely Zhangsun Bodhi. p.236

I can't

2. The Untamed Belluine Cultivator by BlackFoy [79,647]

Summary:

Belluine adjective 1. Beastly; pertaining to or characteristic of beasts; brutal: as, “animal and belluine life,” 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?

This was so different! I loved the world building and shen yuan's characterization

It was such a neat take!

I also loved the queer platonic vibes that organically grew here in several ways

3. No Mercy Here. by Ravishnt [220,832]

Summary:

“Maybe showing you what happened after your death would change your mind.”

He assented with a nod. She placed a palm on his head and barely a minute later he shuddered violently, jerking away from her, cursing and shrinking into himself.

“So, Wei Wuxian, how about it? Will you let your name be cursed for all eternity or will you take my offer to rewrite your fate?.”

Or

Wei Wuxian is shown what happens after his death and he’s just done.

What a good way to spend most of my week

This was long, and beautiful, and nourishing

Wei wuxian having a family, fixing the timelines, and building space

A stunning story ♡

4. Lamenting Ghosts by danny16doc [26,676]

Summary: "Eerie voices were heard coming from the mountain, drifting slowly down, toward the village as though carried on an unseen current of wind, singing a song steeped in such profound sadness that it seemed less a melody and more a lamentation, one that drew tears to the eyes of most who listened and stirred sorrow deep within their hearts without truly understanding why. The singing continued relentlessly, growing even more mournful as night fell, its haunting strains unsettling those who resided in the shadow of the Burial Mounds." The cultivation world now faces a new crisis and at its centre stands Wei Wuxian.

This was a sweet immortal[ish] wei wuxian fic

I love when people find the consequences of their actions and when truth comes out!!!!

Wangxian wedding too! :D

5. Courteous Courtship by Hugeamountofcatsatonce [20,535]

Summary:

Objectively it was the Great Master Airplane Shooting Towards The Sky’s fault.

If he didn’t scatter wife plots so densely in his moronic novel, Shen Qingqiu wouldn’t have to thread so carefully through this world. If there were just a few, but meaningful ones, they wouldn’t just mix up in his mind, he would be able to spot them from the beginning, not just realizing after he got himself into one.

Dear Airplane, not every flower needs to emit aphrodisiac pollen. Not every array needs to be a lust inducing one. Not every slime a person gets coated with needs to make them feel a sudden urge to confess his feelings.

Most importantly - wife plots should wait for the protagonist and his beloved, not trigger on a random passerby!

This was so cute!!!

The universe aligns perfectly for a moment in fics where Shen Yuan realizes that he is in fact, more than a little bit gay.

Liushen! 😍😍😍

6. Accidentally Interviewed by the CEO by SNSLOVE [43,401]

Summary:

Lan Corporation’s Human Resources Department would like to make one thing perfectly clear:

None of this was their fault.

The scheduling software worked correctly.

The interview invitation was sent on time.

The candidate arrived exactly when he was supposed to.

Unfortunately, due to one administrative error, Wei Wuxian interviewed with the Chief Executive Officer instead of Human Resources.

The company was never quite the same afterward.

This is the nerdiest thing ive read in a hot minute!

I loved the storytelling structure, the clipped dialogue, and Lan Wangjis systems

I'm pretty sure they broke several regulations though, but LWJ writes the rules so.... tbd

7. Tomorrows and Endless Yesterdays by WinterSky101 [13,688]

Summary:

When Tianlang-jun brings the time-travel amulet from Wife Plot #257 to Shen Qingqiu’s doorstep and asks him to help save Su Xiyan, it’s not like Shen Qingqiu could say no.

Especially not if it lets him prove Airplane wrong.

A sweet time travel fix it- if you can call it that. Well, its technically time travel!

I love a pouty binghe and an infatuated tianlangjun!

Zhuzhi is here for the ride LOL

8. Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman [Read Chapters 1-12]

Summary:

You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That’s what.

Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas.

I just started this book and series and MY GOD. It has me in a chokehold

what a ridiculous, horrifying, and incredibly funny story

Princess Donut, may she reign forever.

If anyone is reading/has read this dm me I'm down to chat about it!

That's what I read!

I legitimately think I have run out of wangxian fics to read. This is not a drill, but an emergency LMAO. I will be rereading some OG's in the coming weeks.

I welcome all fic recs for SVSSS or MDZS.

If you want a personalized fic list I am offering lists for Wangxian (some other MDZS pairings) and bingqiu, liushen, bingliushen (and some other SVSSS pairings) -just send me a dm with your theme and criteria! If I have fics that I have read that fit the vibe, I will happily rec a list <3

"Daddy..." he said. His voice was feeble, carried away by the wind and snow. It sounded more like a moan. -- This chapter is starting at 100 LMAO. p.224

Oh, ah! Even with three 'daddys' they both ended up falling anyways. p.224

Oh nooo [Sarcasm] these two are stuck in in close quarters in a dark cave. Whatever will they do.... p.226

And now they're covered in bat shit LOL. p.226

I truly didn't expect them to be clear with who they both worked for. I expected Cui Buqu to continue to top-toe around this. p.228

Well, now that it's out there

At least they're going to rescue Pei Jingzhe. p.214

Not him taking Cui Buqu to act as a meat shield. p.215

I did end up looking it up and Goguryeo was territory in North Korea, part of Russia, and North-Western China. Still don't know the exact language that was spoken, but likely closer to Korean? p.215

Cui Buqu coming in with the psychic damage! This man has such biting speech, I love it. p.216

Oh, this ambush is insane. Not only coming in for Feng Xiao, but three parties also working to take out Cui Buqu as collateral! p.218

Cui Buqu was fully ready to move on with his life as he expected Feng Xiao to be dead. That, "Pull me up." must have sent him spiraling. p.221

LMAO: "Call me 'Daddy' three times and I'll do it." p.222

Also shout out:

Miao-Niangzi is a legend. She was not lying when she said she could handle herself. p.206

Knowing that Zhangsun Bodhi knows all this information about Fo'er and Apa Khagan's men, is so funny in retrospect. It means Cui Buqu also knows this and is strategically feeding Feng Xiao info- even more than I initially thought. p.207

LMAO: "I'm just happy for Deputy Chief Feng." It's defo not because he's pleased that he made him uncomfy with the puke. p.209

I hate this for the prickly pear! "Do what you need to do. I've always been good at enduring pain." p.211 :(

Okay! Language drop AND Qin Miaoyu likely has the jade??? p.212

What a reveal!

Oh! Are we about to have a meet-up at this manor? p.199

Damn, okay. Is this perfume maker also a very skilled martial artist?! I mean if one business isn't lucrative there's always the other. I appreciate the hustle. p.200

Hell yeah, wielding her belt like a whip. p.201

The Perfume Queen is bilingual! I want to know who she has connections with! p.203

What's his NAME?! p.204

The cliffhanger

I love that they just break in, knocked out the staff, and started making snacks because Cui Buqu was hungry. p.189

RIP "I've never cooked anything before." p.189

LOL! Cui Buqu's stink face in that art! p.191

This heist has turned into the plot of West Side Story. Two rival gangs feuding. p.192

This sent me: "Is there some connection between Deputy Chief Feng and the Hehuan Sect?"..."My younger cousin's daughter-in-law's aunt's uncle's aunt is also a disciple of the Hehuan sect." p.194

Yes! Feng Xiao did think to have the mysterious cultivator in black followed. p.195

Well Feng Xiao's weakness is food vomit?? p.197

This entire chapter was so messy

"a name is just a word" both mysterious and an asshole. p.183

Every second Cui Buqu and Feng Xiao talk, I have no idea if they are fighting or flirting. p.184

OOOO! The man in white is Cui Buqu's subordinate? [he is not]. p.185

O no, now his retreat is blocked by Pei Jingzhe! p.185

OKay, wait, the monk is not his subordinate. Monk Yuxiu. AND he's a big deal working for the Prince of Jin. p.187

This is still making me laugh: "The what bureau?" ... "You're attempt at playing dumb are getting quite lazy."... "Then I'll try harder." p.188

I'm actually obsessed with these two

I love how the cultivator in white went from taking him as a hostage to bargaining for him to join him. p.175

Yeah, hard pass, I too would not trust the cultivator in white with a face like that. p.176

Damn. The effortlessness in which Feng Xiao defeated Fo'er was shocking. p.178

When you're a sore loser: "A warrior must be wholly focused in order to reach greater height, but tonight you are clearly distracted. I disdain such opponents." p.178

What is it with this author and making everyone in the jianghu super into the sickly looking? First Shen Qiao in 1000 Autumns, and now Cui Buqu in Peerless. p.181

"Not so. You caught my lover, so why shouldn't I be a bit faster?" p.181

Feng Xiao is getting his man!

1. Peerless [Wushuang]: Chapter 14-20

Summary:

On a snowy night, an envoy sent by the Kingdom of Khotan is ambushed on the road, massacred with his escort. Not a living soul remains, and the attackers vanish—along with a precious jade intended as tribute to the Emperor of Sui. A member of the emperor’s secret intelligence agency, the Jiejian Bureau, pursues the case: the formidable deputy chief, Feng Xiao. His investigation takes him to Liugong City, where top martial artists from across the land gather for a mysterious auction.

Equally proud, the two immediately clash in a battle of wits, but neither can crack the case alone. To solve the mystery before the trail goes cold, they will have to join hands to uncover the truth…however unwillingly.

2. Another Path Forward by Lotus34 (AliWaldron34) [221,698]

Summary:

Wei Wuxian is fifteen, in love, and already testing the upper limits of Lan sect tolerance.

A week in the future was all it took — enough to learn how the world ends, who it breaks, and what might be salvageable. Now he’s back in his own body, knee-deep in secrets, demonic cultivation theory, and an increasingly inconvenient romance with the Second Jade of Lan.

He’s seen what’s coming. But knowing is one thing. Choosing what to change is another.

A canon-era fix-it continuing from Six Days and Most of a Night, but readable with context.

Part two of What Remains the Same series

Omg this world is so good.

While they're not in the war yet its coming-- i cant wait till part three is done!

3. Symmetry in Bloom by fancywaffles [49,891]

Summary:

Shen Yuan transmigrates as Zhan Yuan, a child raised in the Warm Red Pavilion. A chance meeting with two future peak lords (brought about by a crabby young Shen Yuan yelling at them) leads to the possibility of a bright future. Except fate even without an active system is not generally that kind, especially in the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way.

(or, courtesan shen yuan au that turned into a treatise on dual cultivation)

Oo this was such a neat concept

I love that shen yuan revamped the sex worker business model

I also adore how it left off on an open ending!

Liushen!!!

4. Make My Messes Matter, Make This Chaos Count by Arctic_White_Wolf [28,413]

Summary: Sudden awareness crashed over him and Liu Qingge froze in his tracks. Carefully, without looking, he lowered his extended leg, shudders running through his body. Why was he on all fours? What kind of immersive dream had left him believing that he was feline even upon waking? It was ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. He would stand up, return back to where he had camped down, collect his bag and finish flying back to Cang Qiong. In just a moment. He just needed a moment to reorient himself. Just a moment. A bird exploded out of the tall grasses nearby. Startled, Liu Qingge leapt into the air, a yowl tearing its way from his throat. He landed on all fours, claws extended and fangs bared, the fur down his spine standing on end. He could see his front paws now, the grey striped fur of his forelegs. Denial was impossible in the face of such evidence. Somehow, as he slept, Liu Qingge had been transformed into a cat.

I adore cat liu qingge fics!

This was so sweet with the tiniest amount of emotional unrest

Absolutely adorable, they're so sweet!

5. The Moment Before Everything by ManleyAiden [188,651]

Summary:

Wei Ying was too late.

He sees his shijie fall in front of him, her blood staining the world red, her last breath still carrying his name. In that moment, something inside him breaks beyond repair. The war, the hatred, the choices he made—none of it matters anymore.

So he does the one thing he was never meant to do.

Using an untested talisman born from grief and desperation, Wei Ying turns back time with a single, selfish wish: this time, I will protect them.

But fate is not so easily rewritten.

Instead of returning to the moment he lost her, he is thrown years into the past—before the war, before the sects fall apart… before even his parents’ deaths.

Given a second life he never asked for, Wei Ying now carries memories of everything that will go wrong. Every betrayal. Every death. Every moment he failed.

He only wanted to save a few people.

Now he has the chance to save everyone.

This was such a soft and wholesome wangxian fic

The time travel, the supportive families, the goodness of the world was lovely to see

What a positive end to my week ♡

6. The past before your eyes by Bastet_Fanwork [33,202]

Summary:

Lan Zhan couldn't speak. Was he still breathing? He wasn't sure. He didn't know if he could see or hear because his entire being had become his beating heart in front of the boy who had just entered the room.

Wei Ying was... young. By the gods, he looked so young. His hair was styled in the ponytail he had stopped wearing along with his sword, as if loose hair could help him hide from the hostility and fear of others. His eyes were bright and happy. His lips were curved into the smile that had captured Lan Zhan's heart from the very beginning.

The Wei Ying in front of him was just a boy, not yet tainted by war's harshness and people's cruelty.

~

Lan Wangji dies from the thirty-third lash, then wakes up as his fifteen-year-old self in the Cloud Recesses.

I love a time travel fic fix-it and this was that but not

I adore that in this fic things didn't work out perfectly, the world wasn't saved

But: despite it all, two teens found themselves and made a home

That's what I read!

I legitimately think I have run out of wangxian fics to read. This is not a drill, but an emergency LMAO.

I welcome all fic recs for SVSSS or MDZS.

If you want a personalized fic list I am offering lists for Wangxian (some other MDZS pairings) and bingqiu, liushen, bingliushen (and some other SVSSS pairings) -just send me a dm with your theme and criteria! If I have fics that I have read that fit the vibe, I will happily rec a list <3

I'm convinced it was a fake jade OR Feng Xiao did something masterful to have this group turn on the one guy. p.169

I want to know more about Bing Xian! She seems cool. [She's probably an enemy, but I'm weak for a strong Jianghu woman]. p.170

Feng Xiao has an admirer in Fo'er. p.171

I love that Cui Buqu clocked Fo'er immediately. That guy was not here for the jade at all. p.171

This explains the entirety of Feng Xiao. Zither and all -- this man is a bard. p.172

LMAO! "That man is Feng Xiao's lover, capable of traveling the jianghu with him; he must know at least a technique or two." p.173

RIP LOL
