This is the follow-up to Peach Blossom Debt, which I read in the original Chinese (with GTranslate) because it was unlocked on jjwxc. Largely focuses on Bihua Lingjun and his romance with a phoenix god, but Hengwen and Song Yao have cameos! The story seems deceptively straightforward until we get close to the end, when we get a wallop of a backstory, and then the rest of it falls into context. I'm devastated Peach Flower House closed because I would have begged to work on this translation just to own it.
