Han Jue came to Tianzhu Sect with a forgettable name, a spiritual root assessment that clears scrutiny because he designed it to, and three sects' worth of fabricated lineage. Four months of careful performance. Mediocre. Wandering. Dull enough to discourage notice. The plan was working. Then he sat across a desk from a senior disciple who closes books with both hands and watches faces instead of pages, and the man read him a poem about a tree out of season, and looked up, and did not look away. Mosheng Peak is not what he thought he was infiltrating. The thirteen-year-old in the upper courtyard has a laugh that hurts to hear. The senior with the jade cord under his collar has lost someone he never speaks about. The orthodox cultivation world Han Jue came to dismantle has people in it. He had not planned for that. A literary danmei xianxia about hidden identity, slow-burn devotion, and the cost of finding people worth saving when you came to burn the place down.
