Boneflame
Short Fiction烬骨明焰
Xiangyu 666
Historian Xie Jin was born with scorch marks on his right hand, which was a curse left over from the previous dynasty. When Emperor Zhao of the Yuan Dynasty ordered him to burn books to make history in order to cover up the truth about his father's murder, the bones of the emperor revealed the words in blood in the fire - the sins of the emperor would never be erased. A Gu, a witch from Beidi, entered the palace with a fire pattern behind her ears. Every time she interpreted a piece of secret history, she lost a point of memory. The three of them were trapped in the flames of burning books and the scorched ink of history, writing a crueler truth than history books.

墨染山河:青史劫
Xiangyu 666
Official version: On the New Year's Eve, Shen Yan, an orphan from Kefang, accidentally awakened the dragon vein, only to find that Qingshi was actually a shackle made by the emperor using the people's will. In order to break the millennium of lies, she took the carving knife into the nine-level underground palace, melted the jade seal, cut off the original sin, and transformed the mountains and rivers. When it was said that the important weapon of the country was transformed into a field plow, we realized that the history books were never in the Jinluan Palace, but in the palms of the people. Literary version: I once thought that the history books were cold golden lacquered bamboo slips, until the carving knife pierced my heart and I heard the lights of thousands of families roaring in my blood. The lie made of his father's bones, Aman's achievements in flood control marked on his back, and the fragments of the jade seal burned in the Jialing Phoenix fire, all tell the same truth-- The history of history is not dead, it sprouts under the plowshares of sharecroppers, boils in the porridge pots of refugees, and shines in the eyes of everyone who writes for the common people.
