Excerpt from Chapter 10 of Overcover: Huaisang’s lips twitched. He had to know that Jiang Cheng knew. “You must understand, Jiang-xiong.” His voice was level, with a measured tinge of regret. Too measured. It reminded Jiang Cheng of someone he would rather forget: Nie Huaisang’s predecessor, a two-faced diplomat with a honeyed tongue and a black heart. Capable of the greatest kindnesses and the most heinous deeds, both extremes so far apart that you couldn’t be sure which one was real. He thought back to Lan Xichen’s words at Meishan, questioning which Huaisang was the real one. And then back to the bashful boy he had known in Gusu, who would have been content to be left to his own devices, writing novels and painting birds. “Someone in my position—” Huaisang began. “What happened to—” Jiang Cheng blurted out.

Excerpt from Chapter 9 of Overcover: The centre of weight on the horse shifted, bringing Jiang Cheng back to real life and the man in front of him. Gone was Huaisang’s surety and grace of a shichen ago. Instead, the man’s shoulders were slumped, his head leaned forwards, further and further— “Nie Huaisang!” Jiang Cheng hissed, digging his elbows tighter into the man’s waist. It was all he could do at that moment, but it seemed to work, as Huaisang’s frame stiffened and he pushed himself back up again. The man had looked exhausted as he walked out of the Unclean Realm. And of course he was. No matter who you were, unleashing that amount of spiritual power was no small feat. Huaisang’s weight swayed forward again, and he reached forwards for the horse’s neck. His fingers closed around bits of its mane like they had found a lifeline. Though the ride was bumpy and their pace had them jolting up and down, Jiang Cheng did not miss the shaking of his hands. “Nie Huaisang!” he barked out. “Don’t you dare let go of the horse! You think I’m going to hold you?”
