Excerpt from Chapter 5 of Overcover: “How did you find out?” he asked. Jin Ling started. “A—A missive from Gusu Lan.” Really. It wouldn’t have come from Lan Xichen, that was for sure. At least, things would have to be very bad for Lan Xichen to have sent that, and if they were, Jiang Cheng wouldn’t have heard the news from Jin Ling. Anyway, there was no way things were that bad. Not with those two people at the Cloud Recesses. But it didn’t feel like his nephew was lying, either. Jin Ling bit his lip and looked away, and the realisation hit him. Jiang Cheng’s lip curled. “So the Ghost General is here.”

Excerpt from Chapter 4 of Overcover: Nie Huaisang’s movements stilled. He turned towards Jiang Cheng, only slightly, but it was enough for Jiang Cheng to see half of Nie Huaisang’s face wiped clean of powder. The shock on his face was palpable for a full second before it dissolved into practised blankness again. Of course. Hadn’t his brother hurt him… and then died in front of him? Funny thing to have in common with someone. Nie Huaisang’s soft voice roused him from his reverie. “I was foolish in my youth,” he said. His body was there, still turned half-towards, half-away from Jiang Cheng, but his voice sounded a million li away. “My brother only had my best interests in heart, but I spurned him like a spoiled child. No matter. It doesn’t seem like young Sect Leader Jin is repeating my mistakes with you.”

Excerpt from Chapter 3 of Overcover: Nonetheless, the easiest way to the lake was via Yinshan Town in Lanling, and so it was there the two went—horse carriage, dogs, retainers and all. The patrols stationed there greeted Jiang Cheng with a held fist, then froze mid-bow when they saw who he was with. Well, if they were going to be like that Jiang Cheng would help them along with his chilliest glare. Once that was done with, Jiang Cheng instructed his retainers to mind the horse carriage and watch the paths leading to the lake. It wouldn’t do to have company. Then he headed to the lake with Peachey, Lili, and Nie Huaisang. Or, he should say, Lady Tao.

Excerpt of Chapter 2 of Overcover: “Sect Leader Ouyang also found the bodies of five other boys,” Jiang Cheng said. “…In pieces.” At least all the pieces could be accounted for and made five complete bodies. Those boys had been identified. Their clans had been notified. And their fathers had been the most vocal and bitter during the DC. Who could blame them? “… I’m aware of that too.” “Well?” “What else can I say, Jiang-xiong?” Nie Huaisang said plaintively. The hand that was holding his fan started to tremble again. “I checked the tomb. I fortified the walls. The letter arrived the next day. Sect Leader Ouyang’s expedition happened after I fled the Unclean Realm. I was framed."
