Song of Shao, GL

Read this blurb! If you don't, you'll regret it and be in tears!

Before reading this story, you absolutely must read my other short GL story, Folded Red Sash. If you don't read that one, you'll go crazy reading this!

I wrote this story on a whim as a companion piece to Folded Red Sash. The leads are the same, but this one also includes the love story between the shadow guard Chuan Lingwan and Qi Linglong.

When I wrote Folded Red Sash, Jinyuan Tao was a scheming beauty P who would stop at nothing to win over the righteous, handsome T, Shang Shuxing. She had a brief affair with her, made up stories to gain her sympathy, and even lied that she had lost all her martial arts skills. In the end, Shang Shuxing's sympathy got the better of her, and she took Jinyuan Tao back to the Central Plains.

So!!!!

This story is about what happens after all her schemes are exposed.

Sorry, but the righteous T has once again been infuriated into fainting by the venomous beauty P. Good grief! Upright people really are constrained by their morals, aren't they?

Rolling your eyes is your way of encouraging Jinyuan Tao to keep pursuing Shang Shuxing? Are you all right? Are you really the legendary Venerable Jin, "so peerlessly beautiful that even heroes lose their hearts"?

"Shuxing, you learned to lie, too?"

"Who do you think taught me?"

The Qi clan has Shaoyin, a melody from heaven, its notes lingering long after it ends. Anyone who hears it won't want meat for three months.

---Epigraph

Ending:

And of all the melodies that turned and wound their way through the air, the one that lingered longest in the heart and made food taste like nothing was the Shao that Qi Linglong played for the innocent Chuan Lingwan.
