Summary
To the southwest of Revachol, far into the wild pale yonder is a radio repeater station. On this station is a corpse -- a woman killed in cold blood. There is no suspect. There are no clues. It is a thoroughly impossible death, a murder in utter isolation.
Two officers arrive on the scene. Voices bleed from the tower above. Something is horribly wrong.

Summary
In the years following the Sunshot Campaign, the mysterious, masked cultivator who’d defeated Wen Ruohan took on many identities: the Yiling Patriarch, leader of the Wen rebels, enemy of the Jin Sect, practitioner of wicked tricks. His true name was shrouded in mystery. He always wore a mask. He carried no sword; wore no clan colors or insignia. Clouds of resentful energy clung to him as he walked.
But there was one thing that absolutely everyone agreed on: the Yiling Patriarch could not possibly be from the Jiang Sect.
Or: a Scarlet Pimpernel-inspired fix-it featuring Wei Wuxian in disguise, Lan Wangji determined to bring the nefarious Yiling Patriarch to justice, and the hijinks that ensue when you accidentally marry your greatest enemy/love of your life.

Summary
Modern cultivator, Wei Wuxian, dies in a train crash and is sent back in time to the period of Ancient China he had been writing his thesis on - transmigrated into his own body as a child, dying on the streets of Yiling. He has no money, no family, but a knowledge of modern cultivation and of the historical events that are about to unfold.
He recalls the recently-unearthed journal of a woman who was imprisoned in Cloud Recesses against her will, and decides that she’s a good place to start to find someone who might be willing to help him dismantle the corruption that had sent the Cultivation World into the Dark Ages so long ago.
Of course, he had no idea that the person he sought would be the mother of Hanguang-Jun, the object of Wei Wuxian's fascination (“obsession,” his friend had corrected), since he had first learned of his existence in the ancient texts he'd studied.

Summary
Leia Organa was raised in a galaxy where the Sith had already won. Taken as a child, broken, and reforged as Darth Vader’s apprentice, she learned the art of survival in a world without Jedi, without hope. She grew up wielding darkness like a blade, taught to believe compassion was weakness and mercy a death sentence.
But when fate tears her from that future and drags her across time into the heart of the Clone Wars, Leia finds herself in a galaxy not yet lost, a galaxy where the Jedi still live, still fight, still believe they can win. To them, she is a mystery: a Sith who surrenders herself at the Temple’s doors, claiming to hold secrets of their enemy.
And looming over it all is the shadow of Vader, not yet the Master she knew, but a young Jedi Knight named Anakin Skywalker. He is everything her Master once was: brilliant, reckless, impossible to ignore. The galaxy sees a hero. She sees inevitability.
