A sharp knife cost five cash, a bowl of meat noodles cost three, and if you took a nap beneath a tree by an ancient tomb, you might meet a fox out for a stroll at night and enjoy an evening of carefree company, all while earning ten cash on the side. That year, the Huai River swelled and flooded three prefectures and sixteen counties. That year, a dragon fell in Yunmeng. Its blood rain 0Votes71.5kRecs249kFans

- 4 The Swordstep Court 步剑庭 This is an age when legends grow old: In the north, the Old Dragon King rolls over and the earth shudders.

And a poor, miserable scholar tosses aside his books, suddenly draws his blade, and chops apart half the land. This is an age when legends are born anew: The beauty destined to topple kingdoms has yet to learn how to put on mak 2Votes299.2kRecs249.3kFans

It's probably a story about an irreverent apprentice storyteller and a very serious magician cleaning up crime in early Republican-era Beijing. 0Votes37.4kRecs16.1kFans

I'm eager to find out what happens next (I'm the type who likes to let chapters pile up and then binge-read). Passable: Somew
