Summary
Deep in the heart of the city of ghosts, a chisel breaks stone. Alone in the candlelit studio, Hua Cheng bows over the remaining boot and chips away slivers of veined marble. The sculpture is nearly finished, has been for weeks. The details he cuts into the lower foot now are so fine as to be invisible if viewed from any further away than a single step.
Above it, ornate robes are swept back on a frozen wind and a sword halfway from its sheath cuts across the sculpture’s waist. With its weight perched on the front foot as if a breath away from leaping and the candelight rosy across its cheeks and brow, the sculpture looks as if it is only a heartbeat from life. Except—
Hua Cheng takes a step back, tilting his head to survey his creation from toe to brow.
A blank face stares down.
•••
Hua Cheng emerges from Mt. Tong’lu looking for someone he cannot name, cannot place, cannot picture. For centuries, he chases fragments of memory—until he stumbles upon a cultivator in white who might be the answer to the questions he has carried for eight hundred years.- Language:

Summary
Hua Cheng has issued a wave of fresh challenges to so many heavenly officials, his rampage may well wipe out the heavens. Ling Wen is sent to ask the calamity what could get him to stay his hand this time, and receives an impossible request - the hand of the Crown Prince of Xianle, long since disappeared from the realms.
Xie Lian was minding his own business six hundred years post-banishment when the bun he salvaged was knocked from his hands into the dirt. Swept up to the heavenly court, he's asked if he is willing to put himself on the line for the sake of peace between heaven and ghost realms.
Faced with a situation neither of them could have expected in their lifetimes, what are a ghost king and twice-banished god to make of their most implausible arrangement?

Summary
"Home," she says eventually, pointing out at the sea.
"Can you swim?"
She shakes her head, stops. Thinks about it. Shakes her head again. "N-n-not home."
"Not your home?" Lan Zhan thinks about it. "Your home is the sea, but not this part of it?"
-
Lan Zhan is one of few practising cultivators left. She spends her days at sea, on her boat putting restless souls at ease. She did not realise that she, too, is a restless soul.- Language:

Summary
His eyes are at once dead and horribly, horribly alive. The milky film over his cornea does little to hush the luminous golden brown of his irises, huge around pupils so shrunken that Martin can hardly see them.
Jonathan Sims blinks. Then he frowns.
“Am I to take it you’ve never met a vampire, then?”
Oh, Martin is going to get a rubbish review.Or,
Struggling for income, Martin registers with an app that connects vampires with willing blood donors. His first client is not at all what he expected.

Summary
When looking for a new body to possess, there are many factors to take into consideration. The most principal of these is a victim's lack of connection- of parents, siblings and friends- and Elias Bouchard had none of these. The perfect candidate.
What Jonah Magnus neglected to take into consideration was the existence of entitled distant relatives from distant places- very distant places indeed.
In which Jonah Magnus is bullied into employing a relative of the late Elias Bouchard, and how his life and plans are subsequently upended. Alternatively, how Edith Bouchard trades one Eldritch employer for another and thoroughly ruins her uncle's life.

Summary
He peers between the branches at the spiderweb, gently pushing some away to get a better view. He wonders what kind of spider it is, if he can catch a glimpse of it. There aren’t that many types in England, but--
Oh. He doesn’t spot the spider, but there’s something else trapped in the middle of the web. A large moth, its wings splayed helpless and immobile. As he watches, he sees its legs wriggle ineffectually in the air. It’s a surprisingly pitiful sight, making Martin’s heart unexpectedly wrench a bit for the poor thing.
-
Martin saves a moth from a spider. He doubts that this decision will have any sort of serious repurcussions.

Summary
“One was fairly tall. He had long black hair, and was mostly quiet. Sort of scary. He startled me very badly. He appeared out of nowhere. The other was named Shang Qinghua.”
Shen Yuan twitched a little. He licked his teeth and pointedly turned a page in his book. “I know them,” he said.
“They’re servants?”
“Something like that.”

Luo Binghe takes ownership of his father's estate. Two of the servants seem quite peculiar.

Summary
With his own two eyes Carlos has observed a house that empirically doesn’t exist. He’s never seen a quantum particle, but his computer models and lab readouts reassure him of their presence. Cecil – lovely and wonderful and strange Cecil – is comforting and solid in every way…except in Carlos’ peripheral vision, when his edges waver as though the lack of direct observation has left him unsure of what shape he should be.
It means absolutely nothing, to see a thing in Night Vale.

Summary
“Lan-er-gongzi sounds like an impressive man indeed,” Wei Ying murmurs, searching for a way to phrase her question that is delicate enough for her to escape reproach and Auntie Yu’s wrath.
“I only worry that I might create awkwardness between you and his uncle by not being a worthy enough match.”
She takes up her spoon again and kicks Jiang Cheng under the table hard enough to make him lower the eyebrow he’s raised at her.
Uncle Jiang clears his throat.
"Yes, about that," he says.
