[Xuan Liang] A Collection of Sorrowful Flowers

This story is a prequel to The Brocade Path, but can also be read on its own, since the characters have changed quite a bit.

A fantasy AU with monsters, an experiment in setting up clues and schemes, told in episodic format. Many original characters, with lots of them dying, so be warned. Everyone is scheming, so be warned.

I'll say this just once: there will be lots of fluff, but the plot will have plenty of twists too. Xuanliang has a happy ending, so don't worry too much if something happens to anyone in the story...

Ongoing, never going premium, updated weekly or monthly. A series that may take a lifetime to finish.

Theme: When you love someone, nothing escapes your notice: what they think, every move they make.
