   Summary

   The Emperor is grooming Lin Shu to be the next head of the Xuanjing Bureau. When Prince Qi tries to stop it, tragedy—and canon—ensue.
   A prequel to Nirvana in Fire, from the more innocent pre-Chiyan case days to Mei Changsu waking up in Langya Hall, mostly centered on Jingyan and Prince Qi, and casting a new light on the events leading up to Meiling.
