Our traveling cleric Chih wanders into a wuxia novel, crossing paths with a pair of martial sisters and a polyamorous triad of rogue cultivators (MORE FANFIC ON THAT PLS!). It’s a road trip novella, replete with multiple stories within a story, rumination on reality vs. myth, and Almost Brilliant being brilliant. Right after Nghi Vo writes all the queer Jazz Age fanfic for me, she can write all the wuxia for me too. 😍😍 And actually, reverse those priorities—I’ll take the wuxia first, please.
