Summary:

After returning to the Lotus Tower following the events at Mountains Red, Di Feisheng finds himself feeling more and more unsettled by what happened there. The women held there, how they were people who wouldn’t be missed. The cruel master with guards controlled and beholden to him even if they did not wish to do his bidding. Even Murong Yao, how he’d come to take vengeance, how he’d wanted it to be over, rather than to take power and continue the cycle of oppression. They all play into memories that he no longer has access to, yet still manage set his nerves on edge.

Unable to rest, a late night practice with his sword brings with it a brief flash of the past - a shared, intimate past with Li Lianhua.

Finally bought a new ebook reader. Kobo Libra, replacing my old kobo touch that I’ve had for 12 years - display had got very faded :(

Wondered if a newer edition would be more awkward to add books bought else to it -
No, just plug it in like it’s a giant memory stick and drag them in, & it’s done

Seven Seas have just announced three more
#danmei
novel licences: Legend of Exorcism, Dinghai Fusheng Records and Riverbay Road Men's Dormitory all by Fei Tian Ye Xiang.

They had previously announced a couple of weeks ago that they'd licenced the manhua for Dinghai Fushen Records.

This announced now is for them licencing the novel too.

Can I start today again?

I’d like the version where I don’t leave my works clocking/access pass card at home, and the version where I don’t fall over on the pavement getting off the bus.

Soggy ( it’s absolutely throwing it down) and little bit muddy, but I’m otherwise okay, just annoyed.
