Extract from Chapter 27 of the English fan translation of To Embers We Return:

She’d reminded herself over and over again that her shijie was even less capable of passion than those martial artists who followed the Loveless Path. Her shijie had already rejected her feelings all those years ago; there was absolutely no reason for her to seek out the same humiliation again. But now that all those whispers about Bian Jin and Qin Wushang had found their way to her ears, it was difficult for her not to dwell on the possibility that her shijie — that pure, passionless sculpture that had taken root on a pedestal in her heart, that had never even deigned to cast the briefest glance at the pleasures of the flesh — might, at some point, have had her pristine robes stained by the dew of carnal desire.

And if that’s so, why shouldn’t I be the one to get her wet?

Extract from Chapter 27 of the English fan translation of To Embers We Return:

In her astonishment, Shen Ni drew in a short, sharp breath. Instantly, Bian Jin’s scent filled her lungs and spread swiftly through her chest, turning the tips of her ears red-hot. The edge of the sandalwood dressing-table dug into her lower back. Her first thought was that Bian Jin must be simply trying to fluster her, in retaliation for Shen Ni’s own incessant goading. She can’t possibly mean to follow through with this.

The next moment, however, she felt a slight pinch. Bian Jin’s hot lips were on her throat, sucking at her delicate skin.

Yesterday: imagine managing to get the last seat on a packed train even in 1st class, just to be confronted by a frail 75+ White man who decided that the only Black person in the carriage (and NOT the only person who got on that carriage) couldn't possibly have a 1st class ticket.
