Summary
At the point where Xie Lian is struggling to breathe through the intense winds, he stops and turns his back to the source of it all. He squints to trace back his footsteps, but finds they’ve already faded into smooth snow drifts at the thirty foot mark.

Summary
Outside, the city lights hit the reflective window and streaked across it. Somewhere down the street, a traffic light flicked from green to red, and the glowing smear changed colors. He Xuan drank more as he watched a group of people walk by, all glitzed out for a night on the town. As they passed, his eyes naturally shifted back to the center of the window. Standing just on the other side of the reflected, red stop light glow, a trim figure stood and stared at him. He Xuan’s mouth went dry.
Tearing from the chair, wine glass abandoned and teetering like it might fall off the edge of the table, He Xuan hurried through the packed restaurant and to the doors. Stepping out into the dull-bladed chill of early autumn, he whipped his head back and forth along the sidewalk and sought the face he had seen peering through the glass at him seconds ago. The only people he saw were the group of tipsy revelers making their way down the street to one of the other bars, and a taxi-cab driver was pulled over with his service light out, smoking a cigarette on his break.

Summary
“It’s just a story.” Sizhui grinned, shaking his head and saying nothing on the cannibalism/baby/Mr. Wei matter. “Didn’t they say this was a romance, anyway? Why is it about a murderer?”
“Well, because the back here says quite clearly. A ROMANCE FOR FOREVER. A CHOICE TO MAKE. TANGLED THROES OF TRUTH. The story of a wanton murderer and the power of pretty poison. Identity and love, law and secrets collide in the rip-roarin’, rollicking tale based on a true story. How do you love when you can’t trust?” Jingyi tapped the paperback’s cover, emblazoned with the title in dignified script, with a long-haired man up close playing a dizi, watching another long-haired man ride a white horse towards him across wide plains in the middle of a ferocious storm.

Summary
Agent Wen Qing is good at her job. She gets the mission done—except the untested agent who's been assigned as her fake girlfriend for the next mission, Wang Lingjiao, may threaten their success.

“Okay, but seriously, your designers or whatever should really find a better way to make the gadget jewelry more widely appropriate for different outfits. I know you said they’ve been fine before, but someone is going to notice, some day, and I refuse to get shot or something because my fancy bugged earrings were the wrong shade of pink.”
