    Summary

    Lakan has no earthly idea what possessed him to come to the garden party, but some star smiled upon him indeed. There is but one living face in the world for Lakan to see and, though she has grown greatly since last he saw her, there is no mistaking his daughter sitting behind the honored consort. It nearly breaks his heart just to see her: in formal garb she looks every inch her mother’s daughter, down to the cunning expression on her face. She looks into her bowl as her mother would look at a gaming table, seeing many moves into the future. So he is not surprised when she announces the meal is poisoned, for he was already out of his chair when she decided to drink it.

    How would the story change if Lakan had attended the spring party and seen his daughter in the Rear Palace? How does his persistence change Maomao's view of herself, the world, and her place in it? A story in which Jinshi is not as subtle as he thinks he is, but that's okay because Maomao would rather drink poison than commit a single moment's self-reflection.

    Summary

    *Formerly titled Moonlit Poppies*

    As peace settles along Li's borders, the Great Commandant Lakan, head of the formidable La Clan, is called to return to the capital. Maomao, his only child and head Lady of the clan, returns to a home she barely remembers. Little excitement is expressed here, as much of the court considers her a scandalous illegitimate child born out of a tryst with a courtesan. Rumors swirl that she inherited the La Clan's signature strangeness, with whispers circulating about her unusual behaviors and interests amongst the haughty ladies. Though she tries to stay in the shadows and live quietly, she somehow still catches the gaze and interest of who matters most: the devilishly handsome and unmarried Crown Prince.

    After that, her simple life grows a great deal more complicated.

    Summary

    Video tapes in Teyvat were invented way long before humans actually invented them. However they weren’t actually kameras, and instead an invention gods created that were able to create holograms like videos. They called them a memory gem.

Though with not much information to start with on finding this ancient relic, the three start searching everything they could possibly discover surrounding the mountain.

    A ghost, she thinks. A ghost boy.
