    Summary

    As it goes, eyes are the most sinful sense. Next is mouth which spouted out many insults and abuse.

    How different would it be if only Shen Jiu never saw Luo Binghe? Never get to project his envy and hatred after what he had seen?

    In which, Shen Jiu was blind.

    Summary

    "Just what do you think you’re doing?” Luo Binghe demands, snatching the jug from his son’s tiny hands. “Come here. Your Mother Ning must be worried sick about you, and you’ve frightened all the servants—and look at the mess you made of the stove! You broke the wok in half and reduced a perfectly good brick wall to dust—ah, what a fine prince this lord has raised!”

    In answer, Shunlei only snorts and works his small fists deeper into the flour. “They wouldn’t let Shun’er cook, so I broke the stove,” he says obstinately, nose in the air. “These are for Shizun.”

    Despite himself, Luo Binghe feels his heart skip a beat at the mention of Shen Qinglan.

    Or: two months after their first meeting, the emperor of the united realms celebrates a birthday with his Empress-to-be.

    Summary

    "I already have a candidate in mind,” Liu Mingyan said to him over dinner one evening. “Will my lord permit me to look after the arrangements myself?”

    “I don’t see why not,” Luo Binghe replied. “Do what you must. Only ensure that the taifu is well-educated, and knows how to teach little children without frightening them.”

    So Liu Mingyan wrote to the prospective taifu, who accepted the offer of employment and asked for a month to settle his affairs before moving to the palace.

    Luo Binghe, having nothing further to do with the matter, left for the northern desert with Mobei-jun and Sha Hualing.

    Or: eleven years after crossing paths with the kindly Shen Qingqiu, Luo Binghe meets Shen Yuan.

    Summary

    Luo Binghe staggered back from the door and slumped against the wall.

    Send Shen Yuan away, his mother had said. Send Shen Yuan away from the palace, and betroth Binghe to...

    He did not stay to hear whom she meant to betroth him to. It did not matter; he loved his Shizun, his Yuan-ge, Shen Yuan—he could not bear to be parted from him even for a day, let alone the rest of his life—and his mother meant to banish the very sun of Luo Binghe's world and wed him into a lucrative alliance, when she had defied the entire Jianghu to marry Luo Binghe's father.

    It could not stand. It would not stand. Luo Binghe would have no spouse at all, if it were not Shen Yuan.

    Or: in Crown Prince Luo Binghe's seventeenth year, his parents decide to marry him off and send his beloved Shizun back to the mortal realm. This is a catastrophe for more reasons than one.

    Summary

    Chung Myung lives and dies. And then miraculously, he lives again.

    He wakes up in the body of a beggar called Chosam, learns the fate of those whom he loved, and grieves for what he once had. And then runs, as fast as his worn feet will carry him, towards home.

    In another universe, Mount Hua would have (should have) fallen long ago—having lost its people, its techniques and its history. The only people left in the Great Mount Hua Sect at the end of the Demonic War were the women and children. Chung Myung knows this, and the world knows this.

    And yet, this is not that story.

    In which Kim Aeri gets left behind at Mount Hua at the beginning of the Demonic War. It changes everything and nothing.

    Or grief, through the eyes of Chung Myung- if someone had survived that night to tell Mount Hua's story.
