   Summary

   After Yi City, Song Lan finds Xue Yang alive. He should kill him. He wants to. But something of Xiao Xingchen’s spiritual energy rises from the ruins and refuses the blade, binding Song Lan to the one person he cannot forgive. Xue Yang should have died with the city he ruined. Instead, wounded, furious, and exposed in a way he has spent his whole life hiding, he survives and Song Lan is forced to keep him alive.

   This is not mercy. It is not forgiveness. It is the beginning of something far uglier.
