In "Crossing Through the Streams," also known as "The Emperor's Favorite," you stumble out of a thick fog, soaked to the bone, and land disheveled in the courtyard of Liu Bowen's study in Qingtian during the late Yuan Dynasty. He, startled by the strange sight, didn't order your capture, but instead draped a plain robe over your trembling shoulders: "The night is cold and the dew is heavy; where do you come from, young lady?" Unable to explain your time travel, you could only call yourself a displaced "stranger." He took you in, naming you "Mingjing"—meaning "a heart as clear as a mirror, reflecting the subtle and profound." Knowing the flow of history, you used old documents to deduce with him: "Chen Youliang's ships were strong, but the people's hearts were like sand; Zhang Shicheng's granaries were full, but he was indecisive." A glint flashed in his eyes; he saw you as a divinely ordained mentor and friend. Spending time together, feelings secretly blossomed. The peony-colored rouge stains on your clothes were deeply wrinkled by his grip; your clear, autumn-like eyes reflected in his—a deep imprint on each other's souls. In the eighth year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing was shrouded in darkness and turmoil. You were wounded by a hidden arrow while protecting him, your white robes stained with blood like a withered peony. On your deathbed, you stroked his graying temples: "Bowen... Your story, I ultimately... Could not hear it all..." He held your growing cold body tightly, tears falling like stars. He often sat alone in the courtyard where you first met. As twilight descended, he seemed to see you again, stepping through the mist, your robes fluttering in the wind, your smile radiant. He murmured softly, unheard by anyone: "Mingjing... The lights of this world can never compare to a single glance from you."

The humid southern town of "Moss Town" is shrouded in mist year-round. The town's oral tradition of the "Yin Child" hides a century-old bloody taboo. Folklorist and social media blogger Lin Shen enters the town to investigate his sister's disappearance, only to discover a deadly trap woven from a series of murders and bizarre folk customs: a red-clad corpse kneeling before a church, tongue-carved divination symbols, a heart replaced with a clay sculpture, and his sister's belongings appearing in the hands of a victim ten years later. The clash between folk details and quantum physics, the confrontation between livestream comments and traditional Nuo opera, reaches its climax in the final chapter when a torrential downpour washes away a mass grave. As Lin Shen uses a drone to sprinkle incense ash to break the spell and take his sister's ashes away, the image of a red-clad child in the rearview mirror hints at a deeper horror—the legend, nourished by collective sin, may itself be a living curse.
