    Summary

    For hundreds of years, the Cloud Recesses Marine Rehabilitation Center has protected the deepest, darkest secrets of the oceans and its inhabitants. It aids them when they are sick, injured, or in need of a re-homing.

    The CRMRC isn't a stranger to dangerous marine predators. It has housed everything from the nearly extinct Great Shark Jiaoren to a simple jellyfish.

    It hasn't prepared them for the arrival of an elusive Deep-Sea Jiaoren--a creature of legends.

    Once the Jiaoren’s black tail touches the sunlight, it burns with an under-layer of red. It gleams like a warning, like hidden rubies buried in the blackened scales. With each movement, the colors ripple like ombre. The tail is long and slim, sharpened black-ombre scales and spindly fins. It’s the longest tail Lan Wangji has ever seen. The caudal fin is long and with low drag, the epitome of a predator designed to hunt.

    Blood smears across its pale skin, irritated gills cutting along the sides of its ribcage. Those silvery-blue eyes are slitted pinpricks, teeth sharp and webbed hands bloody as it pulls itself across the dock with a powerful slap of its tail.

    A Deep-Sea Jiaoren.

    Summary

    Conventional wisdom would have one think that a lifetime of cultivation and night hunts would have prepared Lan Wangji for such a scene. Had it been a malevolent entity, an out of place ghost or demon, or even a mischievous but ultimately harmless spirit, they would be right. However if Lan Wangji was correct, and he very much suspected he was, the entity in front of him exceeded what could be classified as spiritual or supernatural and landed squarely into mythical and fantastical.

    Jiaoren.

    *****
    Fifteen years after the war against the Wens, Lan Wangji stumbles upon a heavily wounded jiaoren while supervising a junior hunt and takes him home to dote upon him. When word gets out about the silver-eyed beauty's residence in the Cloud Recesses, Lan Wangji, now more commonly known as the benevolent Hanguang-Jun, just may have to remind the cultivation world just how far he is willing to go to protect what's his.

    Summary

    He had always thought himself strong enough to handle anything. But then something snaps—and Wei Wuxian feels himself falling apart.

    Broken, alone, and with nowhere left to call home, he finds himself at the doorstep of the one person he'd always believed saw him for who he truly was.

    “I came back to Gusu… Is that okay?”
