    Summary

    While exploring a temple in the stone mountains of Anhui province, in the stories of the murals they read about myths of times long gone, artifacts that could destroy or rebuild one’s heart and mind. Retrieve memories. No matter how much Xiaoge knew that —most of— those ancient artifacts did not do what stories told, it had not failed in sparking some hope he wasn’t aware he could have. Although he had not explained anything beyond the bare minimum to his friends, Pangzi and Wu Xie had seen all of that too, and that was why they were in the place they were at that moment.

    “It’s beautiful,” then, after a long pause, Wu Xie added, “But it must be so lonely. To be the only one that remembers.”
    Xiaoge wished he could remember Wu Xie forever, however conscious he was that this was, at least for now, beyond his reach.

    Summary

    Lin Jing and Zhu Hong had been sent to a mountain resort to investigate an artifact smuggling case, never expecting to cross paths with the one that Lin Jing couldn't stop thinking about for the almost half a year since his life had been saved.
    Gui Mian had wandered many places after his loss for a place to belong, then two SID members showed up in the place he finally felt safe and happy. Will he have to fight to protect what he's made there?
    ---
    They were suddenly closer. Too close to him. Too close to his home. And he panicked, acting like a cornered animal when neither of them showed signs of noticing him… until it was too late. He saw Gui Mian.

    Summary

    It’s humiliating, really. To need. Zhao Yunlan is their clan’s first disciple, shifu’s only son, he absolutely should not be in the middle of the wilderness with her on a wild goose chase. But he is himself, and she is in more pain than she has ever been, and finding the immortal Guo is her only chance, and so Zhao Yunlan is here. There is nothing for it, now, but to journey upward until they find him or they do not.

    Summary

    "Are you sure you don't know why Zhao-chu put you and me on this mission?" Lin Jing asked again.
    "I have no idea," Gui Mian lied. "I also have no idea whose brilliant mind was behind the proposal that I'm more useful in the Guardian Order than living my life away from you all. I've already received enough punishments for things that shouldn't even be punished…"

    Summary

    The peaceful years that had already passed with the shade of that tree sheltering his naps were beginning to be hard to count to Shen San. Six or nine or more, but it still felt like he hadn’t spent enough time with Wei.
    "Well, it's not like one lifetime, until old age, is enough anyway," he chuckled to himself as he sat down on the wooden platform that stretched across the front of the hut.
