It was a really nice day. Picture perfect.

Spring had sprung and the Flower Tribe had opened their borders to invite the SID and crew to celebrate the end of the dormant season and the beginning of the growing one with them.

Shen Wei takes a breath; with the Regent finally gone, it's the first time he hasn't been under scrutiny since he clawed his way out of dreams and the earth both.

The investigation triggers Zhao Yunlan. Ye Zun and Zhao Yunlan have a long conversation.

After a chance meeting, Ye Zun introduces Zhao Yunlan to a whole new world.

Shen Wei is filled up to the brim with longing, is sick with it. It’s always been like this.

Chu Shuzhi realises that family comes in different shapes and sizes.

A ghost has been haunting Zhao Yunlan’s apartment, keeping him awake at night. The Black-Cloaked Envoy offers to help him deal with it.
