    As Qiu Wuyai ground ink, he glanced at a diamond-shaped mirror on the dressing table. The reflection showed Liu Yan'er undressing, but the real courtesan was clearly seated before him. Even more horrifying, what the person in the mirror was removing wasn't a robe, but a layer of human skin as thin as smoke. "What are you looking at so intently, my husband?" Liu Yan'er suddenly leaned closer, her breath sweet as orchids. Qiu Wuyai's hand trembled, ink splattering onto the paper, spreading into a blood-red hue. The bronze mirror suddenly became hot in his sleeve. He excused himself to change and hid under the eaves. The moonlight made the railings appear like skeletons. Qiu Wuyai took out the bronze mirror; its surface was fogged. After wiping it away, an aerial view of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion appeared. It wasn't a magnificent building at all; it was a haunted house composed of countless lanterns made of human skin, each lantern containing a green flame. On the largest lantern in the very center was, unmistakably, Liu Yan'er's face. "So this is where you are." Qiu Wuyai turned around sharply. Su Heng was standing behind him, having appeared out of nowhere. Tonight, she wore a crimson-purple dress, a wilting datura flower tucked into her hair, the scent of medicine mingling with the aroma of burning incense. "What brings Miss Su here?" "I'm delivering calming incense to Sister Liu." Su Heng took out a brocade pouch from her sleeve, containing black and red incense pills. "She has nightmares every night, always saying that someone in the mirror is trying to drag her away." The bronze mirror suddenly vibrated. Qiu Wuyai looked down and saw dozens of flower-like tentacles extending from Su Heng's back in the mirror, stealthily reaching towards the back of his neck. In reality, Su Heng simply stood quietly, the moonlight casting a long, headless shadow. "Master Qiu doesn't look well." Su Heng suddenly reached out and pressed her hand on his wrist, her fingernails turning an eerie blue. "Would you like to try my soul-stabilizing soup?" The bronze mirror clanged sharply, its surface cracking with spiderweb-like patterns. Qiu Wuyai broke free and retreated, the bronze mirror in his sleeve falling to the ground. It reflected a row of white silk ribbons hanging under the eaves, with a red-clad Liu Yan'er hanging from each ribbon, swaying gently with the non-existent air currents.
