Summary
Wen Qing returns to full consciousness the way she imagines babies emerge from the womb: bewildered by a rush of blurred shapes and incomprehensible sounds. She falls to her knees. The ground is soft green underneath her body. She takes long, shuddering gulps of air. A healthy infant would cry after birth; Wen Qing does not.
Wen Qing turns up at Dafan Mountain at the same time that "Mo Xuanyu" does. She can't remember the past thirteen years, and every time she tries, she ends up in incredible pain. There must be a curse at work. Fortunately, Sect Leader Jiang has offered her his unconditional assistance.

Summary
Lee Dongwook was a man that believed in the principle that you get as much out of something as you put into it. He had more fun filming a drama when he took the time to talk with his coworkers and staff members. He was more likely to get patience and respect from someone when he extended that patience and respect out first. (He knew that held as well as it did because he was an adult man with a deep voice who cleared one-eighty with a few centimeters to spare, but still; it held.) If he allowed himself to get passionate about a project, to put in the work and truly care, he was sure to feel more fulfilled and satisfied when it ended. The principle was true. It was always true.
Which was why he found himself floundering when, looking at the departing Sea of Hope cast and waiting for his heart to be returned to him, he realized that it was still being cradled in Jinki's warm hands.

Summary
Nicholas leans against the concrete wall by the station. He has to look up to meet Euijoo’s eyes, just a tiny lift of his chin. Euijoo keeps seeing the vague outlines of what Nicholas is thinking seconds before he even thinks it. In this industry—in this awful, vapid industry—it’s a virtue. Euijoo hasn’t spoken to someone this open, who makes him want to open up like this in years.
“I guess I just keep wondering,” Nicholas says, shy and unflinching in equal measure, looking right at him. “Does anybody really know you?”
Byun Euijoo is an actor with walls a mile high. Enter Wang Yixiang, his new stylist.
