    Summary

    When it comes to tombs, Li Shiyi can safely say that she’s seen a lot. A sundry list of various insects of varying levels of deadliness, snakes of all types, both the mundane, and the very much not so, a lot of traps, supposed curses that are also, actually, just traps.

    “Ugh,” says Song Shijiu, glaring balefully at her sword, held a safe distance from her body, as if it’ll jump and bite her. “Zombies.

    Summary

    Song Shijiu signs up for the mythology and folklore of East Asia class without really thinking too much about it. It fulfils a couple different requirements for her path of study, and the reviews on the student forums had said that it’s an easy pass class—basically guaranteed full marks, as long as you turn in all the papers. She walks in a couple minutes before the first lecture, drops her customised, pastel bag onto the floor in front of her feet, drops into the chair, and—

    Her eyes go wide. There, a few seats down, is the most stunning, attractive woman she’s seen in her entire life, and Song Shijiu, whose family, when she’d had them, had been of wealth, knows what stunning women look like.

    Summary

    She opens her mouth to tell the other that this is her book, she’d been here, first, and then—

    —pauses, caught in the image of her. Curling hair, gathered up at the back, but still a thick mane. Firm brows, raised inquisitively. Dark, phoenix eyes, and a teardrop mole at the corner of one of them. Beautiful, even now. The thought of it is strange, alien, and yet entirely hers. Her throat is dry.

    -

    In another place and another time, a small seed of joy blooms after a millennium of drought.

    Summary

    The lighting in the cafe is out again, and Song Shijiu, irate, casts a baleful glare at the strips that stubbornly refuse to turn on; considers getting out a ladder and the pitiful thing that passes for a repair kit they keep shoved under the left side of the counter.

    “Your face will get stuck like that if you keep it that way,” comes the mild, cool tones of the woman whom Song Shijiu has been taking early morning shifts for for half a year, now. Li Shiyi has already put on the apron that is technically a part of their uniform, but hers is a dated, drab thing. The scar that stretches across most of her right cheek shines faintly in the dim, reedy morning light. Her short hair is held back from her face with pins, and her dark, serious eyes surveil Song Shijiu. It’s easy, to bask in that gaze, and Song Shijiu does so for a long, beautiful moment, before Li Shiyi says, “What are you waiting for? Do you think I’m the only one in charge of opening up in the mornings?”

    -

    Song Shijiu and Li Shiyi in a cafe. That's it, that's the plot.
