    Summary

    University student Nie Huaisang, who prefers his American name Ned Sang, is one thesis project away from an MFA in Fine Arts at Columbia. Then he finds out exactly why the ancient Chinese brush techniques he’s been learning this semester are so easy. If only he’d remembered just a bit sooner, he might not have unconsciously copied a painting from a Qing Dynasty book written by . . . Nie Huaisang.

    Meanwhile, beneath Grand Central Station, something has been gathering the resentment created by the New York Transit subway system. Lan Zhan and Wei Ying, who always reincarnate with Huaisang, probably could suppress it, but both of them have disappeared. It will not be the first time that Nie Huaisang has tried to save them. But maybe this time he’ll actually be successful.

    Summary

    "Don't make any hasty moves!" Shen Qingqiu said, keeping one hand lightly on the wrist of the Liu Qingge closest to him. Which -- he thought this was the same one that he'd been following down the stairs, whose hand he had taken in the dark, but he couldn't be sure. Which was, of course, exactly the point and the problem. "I know what this is."

    "You recognize this?" gulped one of the Shang Qinghuas. There were five of them, all trying to sidle into corners or otherwise get out of the line of sight, but this one looked correct to Shen Qingqiu. He turned towards the author-turned transmigrator.

    "Yes, and I'm sure you will too with a little prompting," he said, glaring at Shang Qinghua. "We're dealing with doppelgangers."

    ---

    A quest for a valuable artifact takes the Peak Lords -- plus one Demon Lord -- into the Temple of Ten Thousand Reflections. On the way down, they come face to face with some unpleasant realities, and must find the truth about themselves and each other before they can escape.
