    Summary

    Chained to the Bone

    A sequel to The East Palace.

    After the palace, Gucheon and Saenggang set out for a temple in the south, where a monk of renown is said to be able to undo what cannot be undone. The road is long, and haunted, and neither of them is telling the other quite everything.

    A slow-burn continuation exploring the price already paid and the ones still coming due.

    Summary

    “Maomao?” He presses, fingers closing over hers and lowering their joined hands to her lap, and she blinks in surprise at the use of her name. “What is it? What’s wrong?”

    “Their technique is sloppy,” she answers honestly. “I feel strain on my heart. They should have targeted the nervous system instead.”

    Master Jinshi stares at her like she’s spoken a foreign language he can’t even begin to try and understand. She tries to explain.

    “Certain snake venoms cause coagulation of the blood, which could have been effective and made the blood unable to move through my veins, but if the end result is simply making my heart stop beating by targeting the muscles involv-”

    “Maomao,” Master Jinshi says, very calmly, “I need you to stop speaking now.”

    (an assassin tries to kill jinshi with a poisoned blade that gets maomao instead) (she is obviously much less concerned about this than everyone else)
