    Summary

    Shen Zechuan has never been one to be careful of his health.

    “Ce’an, did I make a mistake?” he finds himself saying. The agony from his arm gradually eases into a dull, manageable throb. His whole body, it seems, is fighting a war against itself, as it often does. A ceaseless gnawing, bone-deep exhaustion he cannot rid himself of. So familiar that he would feel strange if he did not feel it. “If it was a mistake, then I cannot find it in myself to regret it.”

    on Shen Zechuan, illness, and weakness. (or: two times Shen Zechuan allows himself to be honest.)

    Summary

    Mo Ran is no less than shocked when Olympia-gold medalist Chu Wanning abruptly ends his figure skating career at age 29, right in front of him, just another slap to the face when Mo Ran has just delivered the worst performance of a lifetime and came in last at the Grand Prix. Afterwards, Mo Ran returns to his adoptive parents' rink, not really knowing whether to continue the sport himself - after all, his main goal was chasing Chu Wanning down so he could finally get him to acknowledge him after all this time. However, when he comes home from teaching some kids basic skating skills, he barges into their living room containing the usual people (Xue Zhengyong and Wang Chuqing) and the usual creatures (Xue Meng and Veggiebun) and... Chu Wanning, for some reason.
    His ankle in a cast, and on crutches.
    Offering to coach Mo Ran.

    Summary

    Xie Lian finds Yin Yu at the small reflecting pond behind Paradise Manor.
    "Yin Yu," he says gently, sitting next to him.
    "Your Highness."
    "Could you tell me what San Lang was like, before he found me again? How did you two meet?"
    Yin Yu looks down into the pond, watching the ripples distort his face.
    "It's a long story," he says quietly, and begins.

    Or: how Yin Yu met Hua Cheng, how the two of them met Black Water, and what Yin Yu learned about unconditional love and revenge along the way.
