    Summary

    Hua Cheng has no interest in gaining an animal companion, but when a mortal drags an old and filthy dog into the Gambler's Den he can't bring himself to leave it to a life of familiar abuse.

    Xie Lian, meanwhile, is having a much more pleasant time as a dog now that a mysterious ghost has brought him home.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng lowers his hand, and both Feng Xin and Mu Qing crash to the floor. Feng Xin winds up with rugburn on his cheekbone and a dislocated shoulder, getting the better end of the deal than Mu Qing, whose nose is gushing blood between his fingers. Payback for earlier, at least—but his satisfaction is short-lived when Xie Lian hiccups a sob on the divan and then breaks into a string of rapid cries so panicked they sound painful. He slaps at the cushions of the divan, terror escalating, eyes wide open.

    “Help, help, help, help,” he gasps between cries. “Help me. Help me. Please. Please!

    When a tongueless spirit appears in the south and curses ghosts, gods, and mortals alike with catatonia, Hua Cheng, Mu Qing, and Feng Xin must work together to solve the mystery behind the curse and save Xie Lian from the horrors ravaging his mind.

    They may never find a cure, however, if the villagers plagued by the spirit don’t stop lying to them at every turn.

    Summary

    Freshly-formed ghost fire Ban Yue, still reeling from her death and her betrayal of a whole city, retreats to the tomb of General Hua to pay her respects, to rest, and to try and find some comfort and purpose in the memory of the man who raised her.

    What she finds instead is an intruder in red, who seems to have his own interest in General Hua. In return for stories about him, the ghost in red promises to help her get stronger so she can fulfill whatever purpose has kept her here.

    Training montages and sibling nonsense (and also angst, so much of that) ensue!

    Summary

    [Book 5 Spoilers Within]

    Once, the emperor of heaven saw that his troublesome successor had what he had always desired so dearly. To teach him a priceless lesson, he took it for himself.

    Hua Cheng faithfully serves the god who saved him as a child— the one he has worshiped for 800 years— the one to whom he gifted his ashes: The Heavenly Emperor, Jun Wu.

    Xie Lian just wants his beloved back, no matter what it costs him.
