Best Served Hot

by Ghoulmouse

I thought, when the girl barged in nearly begging us to ruin her wedding, that we were in for a lighthearted romp, something I could tell to delight the children back home. With Master Li, though, nothing is ever quite that simple.

The Pig Who Spoke in Proverbs

by brmqtr

In the province of Yu-Ting, peace has descended like an unwanted guest with suspiciously good manners. Children whisper instead of shout. Chickens bow politely. And villagers have stopped arguing—a sure sign something unnatural is afoot. The cause? A large, velvet-cushion-dwelling pig who quotes Confucius, settles lawsuits with flawless logic, and accepts offerings of dumplings in exchange for legal advice. Some say it’s possessed. Others say it passed the civil service exam. All agree: the pig is in charge. Summoned to investigate, Master Li Kao—a brilliant old scholar with a slight flaw in his character—and Number Ten Ox, his steadfast and perpetually bewildered companion, must determine whether the swine is a sage, a ghost, or simply the reincarnation of an overly ambitious bureaucrat. Featuring haunted abacuses, a debating goat, a pigsty-turned-temple, and one of the most scandalous uses of a red ink brush in recorded history, The Pig Who Spoke in Proverbs is a tale of logic, lunacy, and the dangerous consequences of listening too closely to talking animals.

The Widow Who Married a Mirror

by brmqtr

In the tranquil town of Mei-Chien, where the koi are rumored to recite poetry and tea leaves arrange themselves into letters of complaint, something decidedly unusual has occurred: a widow has fallen in love with her mirror. Not metaphorically. She dresses it in silk. She sets a teacup beside it. She claims it whispers to her in verse. And worse — every suitor who dares to court her disappears without explanation. Enter Master Li Kao, a brilliant and disreputable scholar with a slight flaw in his character, and Number Ten Ox, his strong and kind-hearted companion. Called upon to investigate what the locals suspect is either possession, madness, or an unusually charming demon, the pair uncover a mystery more tender—and dangerous—than either expects. As proverbs are quoted by polished bronze, reflections smile before their owners do, and love letters appear written in fog, Li and Ox must determine whether the widow is truly cursed... or whether she and the mirror are simply two souls who recognized each other too clearly. A tale of longing, illusion, and absurd affection, The Widow Who Married a Mirror is a lyrical, comic mystery about love that sees—and love that reflects.
