Summary
Li Lun burned for the man he loves, and he will not rest until Zhu Yan walks the world again. To achieve that, he must rely on Zhuo Yichen, the boy driven by grief and a loyalty Li Lun neither trusts nor forgives.
To Li Lun, Zhuo Yichen is nothing but a tool: fragile, guilt-ridden, and blind to the bond that spanned millennia before his existence. Yet as they join reluctant forces on a journey that takes them from the perilous wilds of Da Huang to the mortal world and back again, each trial binds them tighter together. What began as manipulation grows tangled with truths Li Lun does not want to face—about loyalty, about desire, and about the dangerous possibility of finding something new amidst the ashes of what he lost.
If you're planning to read Amongst the Ashes and you've stumbled upon this first, I HIGHLY recommend you read that first in its entirety before reading this. Li Lun's POV includes spoilers that will reduce the impact of Zhuo Yichen's emotional journey in that story.
