Brocade-Clad by Night 锦衣夜行

The whole world fit in my sleeve. I walked unseen in brocade, keeping a low profile. A low profile was the way to go. A convoluted line of inheritance and a fate passed down through generations, one over which he had no control, set the stage fo

Ghost Stock 鬼股
The emerald sea and azure sky lie beneath a deep night, Why ask if the moon waxes or wanes, if fortunes rise or fall? A clear, sharp mirror of frost holds a pure reflection, A bright, polished ice vessel washes a heart clean. Among the flowers, tears fall, yet I raise my cup; Beneath the moon, an oriole sings, and I set my zither aside. In the shade of the parasol tree, I sigh for the noble one, His graceful bearing leaves me moved beyond words. What sort of person is he? Though he possesses no

Heartfelt Recommendations from a Veteran Reader
Books I think are basically good. Feel free to take a look. I especially recommend Interface Card (Ruo Shu). The style is rugged, the imagery realistic, and the writing is still quite nuanced.
