Summary
Scott’s childhood was filled with bedtime stories told by his mother, stories of the other empires, of magic, of the gods. She told grand tales of corruption and the gods who sacrificed themselves to cast it from the realm, leaving the land they created and the people they guided safe.
Then she dies, and there is no more time for stories. Scott devotes himself to his studies. He molds himself into the image of a beloved king, elegant, knowledgeable, kind, and perfect. Always perfect. He provides for the citizens of Rivendell and watches as his kingdom thrives. He joins the Alliance, establishing trade routes and alliances, and gains a few friends along the way.
But something goes wrong. Something creeps through the land, corrupting it. Accompanying it is a creature of magic, a creature that speaks with a voice belonging to the shadows and Nether, and each day it grows stronger.
His mother's stories may no longer just be stories. But they may not be the entire truth either.

Summary
“It’s fine. I trust him.”
Jiang Cheng remembers Wei Wuxian saying the very same thing five years ago, soaked in blood and surrounded by Wen alphas.
His trust in Lan Wangji had been misplaced then. He can only hope it’s not misplaced now.
[ The Sunshot Campaign has failed. The cultivation clans have fallen. Emperor Wen Ruohan still dares not intrude on the territory of the Yiling Patriarch.

Summary
The house was very small, only two rooms, and it was largely empty aside from some sparse pieces of furniture. Even the sleeping mat seemed to have been rolled up and carried away. There were a few left behind items that proved they’d found the right cottage, such as a birthing stool and a pile of blankets.
Zizhen poked his head to look in a bassinet and screamed.
Jin Ling drew his sword. Jingyi gasped and clutched his heart, terribly startled. Sizhui rushed over, hand on the hilt of his sword just in case.
“Oh,” he said.
Wei Wuxian poked his head over. “Oh!” he said delightedly.
Wei Wuxian finds a demon baby during a nighthunt and is immediately smitten with it. Meanwhile, Lan Sizhui is very anxious to solve the case so he can get ahold of himself. (He's never been jealous of someone before, much less a baby, but... maybe this is what it feels like.)

Void has the power to defy time, the tablet had said. Ghost didn't know what it had truly meant at the time, but now, looking over the body of their sibling, they began to understand.
They had to go back.
They had to fix this.
