The Gathering in the Eastern Capital

A sequel to Embracing the Zither Pavilion. After the five children raised by Murong Hua each went their separate ways, they reunite in the Eastern Capital. The story's structure is modeled on Wen Ruian's The Four Great Constables Gather in the Capital. I hope to capture the lively elegance of Li Bai's imitation of Cui Jing. The story is my own, and so is its spirit.
