Summary
It’s such a tidy fix, isn’t it? To put a wall between them, a door, then lock it shut. To separate the two neatly, Melanie Stryder and Wanderer, to cut in two what you yourself have jumbled together into one thing. Brains are such funny things. So is that which we call “conscience” without knowing what it is.

Summary
Why, truly, does Wanderer decide that death is the answer at the end of The Host?
Would she, someone who will now have to sit with the horror of living at the expense of Petals Open To The Moon, alive only because Petals suffered so much she was erased from her own consciousness, have been better off dead?
What does it mean for this book if one makes the effort to take a step back from its biased 1st person POV, the effort to engage with the narrative as a whole instead of focusing on how it serves Wanderer as the protagonist, and the effort to recognize that The Author Is Dead?
Let's look at the blank spaces between the narrative dots Meyer meant for us to connect, and what happens to the plot and to the characters when we insist that the blank spaces are as much part of the book as the dots, and at its juicy, juicy consequences. -

Summary
"Even if Jared had never asked me for this, even if Jared did not exist... Once this path had occurred to me, I would have had to proceed down it. I loved her that much. More than anyone else.
No wonder the success rate for resistant hosts was so low here on Earth. Once we learned to love our human host, what hope did we souls have? We could not exist at the expense of someone we loved. Not a soul. A soul could not live that way."What if Wanderer had succeeded?

Summary
His lips part involuntarily. “Bing…he…?”
Shen Qingqiu’s heart skips a beat. Very literally, unfortunately.
There’s a reason his martial siblings have all been watching him so carefully.
Oh, Mu Qingfang is going to be insufferable about this, Shen Qingqiu thinks.
or: Upon reuniting in Jinlan City, Shen Qingqiu collapses at the mere sight of Luo Binghe. Things get worse (and better) from there.

Summary
“He came from the shadows, in the middle of the night,” Tianlang-jun would tell his little son, when he crept into his parents’ bed and asked to hear the story of his birth for the fourth time in as many days. “I was out of my wits with rage, and I turned—and behind me, I saw a young xianjun with great doe’s eyes and a fretful mouth, and a sword so fierce that he could not draw it for fear that its radiance would set the woods ablaze.”
“Who was he?” Binghe would gasp in return, as if he had not heard the tale a hundred times before.
Or: twenty-three years after their parting, Luo Binghe reunites with Yue Qingyuan.

Summary
It was said, now and then, that the only person whose will governed Yue Qingyuan—apart from Yue Qingyuan himself, of course—was his eldest shidi, Shen Qingqiu.
It was said somewhat more often that the only commands Shen Qingqiu obeyed were those of his shimei Qiu Haitang.
In which Qiu Haitang follows her betrothed to Cang Qiong, and Shen Jiu is both author and leading performer in a tragedy of errors.

Summary
“How can you mistreat him so, shixiong?” Mu Qingfang asked one night, during a late visit to the bamboo house. “Yuan’er is the very picture of his mother. He is all you have left of her, and yet—”
“His resemblance to his mother is the only reason I did not snap his neck in the cradle,” Shen Qingqiu growled. “He has his father’s eyes, and I look upon them every day and care for the child regardless. Is that not enough?”
In the side room, Shen Yuan crept over to the mirror and stared at his reflection. He knew that he looked like his deceased mother, and that the two of them could have passed for twins if she were still alive. He knew, too, that he had his father’s eyes: deep and black as a starless night, and narrowed in perpetual discontent.
If Shen Yuan were truly Shen Qingqiu’s son, he would have hated those queer black eyes, just as Shen Qingqiu did. But as a transmigrated college student from the twenty-first century, he had never cared about Shen Qingqiu's opinions, much less considered him his father.
Or: in his twenty-first year in the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way, Shen Yuan runs away, falls in love, and reunites with his mother.

Summary
“I know that my father spent a long while dreading the Immortal Alliance Conference that took place in his twenty-fifth year,” Shen Yu’en says, freezing the blood in Shen Qingqiu’s veins—for he is nearly twenty-two, and the next Immortal Alliance Conference is due to take place in about three years. “But there is nothing to fear. You will send Luo Binghe into the Endless Abyss, as that power that holds sway over you will force you to do; and he will emerge, as you knew he would, but he will not seek revenge upon you for his suffering.
“I have met Luo Binghe myself—I know him, and love him dearly. I was sent to tell you that you will be in no danger from him—not when he returns to the mortal realm, nor afterwards.”
“What do you mean, you know him? Even if Binghe chooses not to seek revenge, what reason—”
“Let this foolish son explain further, Fuqin,” Shen Yu’en says, with gentle eyes. “Luo Binghe is so dear to my family that my name was decided when you laid me in his arms and asked him to choose on your behalf.”
Or: three years before the Immortal Alliance Conference, an unexpected visitor comes to Qing Jing.
