Synopsis

“The rules at Cloudside Cottage are strange: First, it takes no money. Second, nothing has a set price. It only accepts ‘things with stories.’ A cultivator’s spirit dew must have touched the morning bell, a mage’s seeds must be wrapped in dragon’s breath, and even an ordinary person’s keepsakes must still carry their owner’s warmth. Su Yunzhu thought she was just a little shopkeeper looking after her grandmother’s store, until one day the rose-scented balm she had made ‘spoke’: ‘Shopkeeper, that Boss Gu who always comes late at night has a tiger tally in his arms that’s missing half a piece. It fits the mechanism behind the tea shop’s secret door...’ Gu Zhaoming really was hiding a secret. He was a covert operative for an interplanar trade association, and had witnessed the collapse and rebirth of thirty-seven planes. He was also the orphan rescued by the old Cloud Envoy years ago, who had sworn atop a cultivation mountain to protect the order of trade. Until one night, a strange black fog enveloped the tea shop. The tea-pattern birthmark on Su Yunzhu’s wrist burned, and the sentient spirits bound by the Contract of All Things suddenly surged forth: ‘Shopkeeper, let us use our spiritual awareness to protect you!’ Gu Zhaoming tore open his sleeve, revealing a tea-pattern birthmark just like hers. The half tiger tally fit perfectly into the secret door. A cold laugh came from within the black fog: ‘The Cloud Envoy and the Guardian of Realms? You can protect these thirty-seven planes, but can you protect each other?’ Looking at the red rims of Gu Zhaoming’s eyes, Su Yunzhu suddenly smiled. She took his hand and pressed it to her heart. ‘Look: all things can be bound by a contract, and so can people’s hearts.’ (The stardust behind the secret door suddenly surged. Beams of light from the thirty-seven planes linked into chains and completely crushed the black fog.)”
