Song of the Vast Heavens

On Ping'an Lane, in Huazhi Alley, a little girl is growing up. What will she do when she’s grown?

Her mother held Li Qiushui and said, “Nothing at all. She’ll find herself a husband and settle down.”

Her father shook his head. “Absolutely not. She’s my only precious daughter, and she’s not marrying anyone! Unless, unless someone is willing to change his name to Chang Tian. Then I’ll take him as a live-in husband for my daughter!”

Li Qiushui thought to herself: As long as there’s no Xiaoyao Sect and I can stay away from wuxia stories, I’m not afraid of farming tales or household-intrigue dramas!

Gu Hengbo: Actually, Qiushui Hengbo sounds lovely too.

Distant Cousin: Changing my name wouldn’t be a problem, but moving in would be difficult.

Little Wu the Blacksmith: I won’t change my name or move in. My hammer rings loud and clear, and I’ll have just one wife for the rest of my life. I’ll never take another young lady.

Author: Everything above is true. But if you believe that, you’ve got it all wrong…

New story: The Fall of the Red Chamber. So what if they fight by day and climb the wall to visit each other by night? Watch me disguise myself as a man and turn the Red Chamber upside down!
