Chapter 42 of Ning Yuan's historical cyberpunk baihe To Embers We Return now up! (in which Shen Ni gives Bian Jin what every jiejie wants, Li Si tries and fails to hack a random guy, and we finally learn what He Lanzhuo's Talent is) 🔗 read here: douqi.blog/2026/07/13/t...

Cover of the JJWXC version of To Embers We Return

Extract from Chapter 42 of the English fan translation of To Embers We Return:

That had been exactly what Bian Jin wanted to bring up. At the same time, she’d been loath to saddle Shen Ni with the task of picking up the pieces she’d left carelessly scattered in her wake. But Shen Ni had still agreed to do it, and with no question asked at that.

It was as if Shen Ni had looked straight into her heart, piercing cleanly through the mists of her own doubts. In a single graceful swoop, she’d swept all of Bian Jin’s burdens into her own pocket, taken Bian Jin’s place on the path of thorns she trod, and pointed at the broad, smooth, open road that ran alongside it. Walk there, and don’t look back, she was telling Bian Jin.

And Bian Jin, who was used to taking care of everything on her own, suddenly felt as if someone had held up an umbrella over her in the midst of a snowstorm.

(Li Si: I would very much like to throttle Marquess Jing'an, yes x2)

Extract from Chapter 41 of the English fan translation of To Embers We Return:

Li Si smiled rather stiffly. ‘Then might I ask where the two of you went after that? What did you do?’

Shen Ni gave Li Si a bashful smile. She slipped her arm through Bian Jin’s, and leaned pliantly against her.

Li Si stared at them, mystified.

By now, Bian Jin could practically smell when Shen Ni was up to something — to say nothing of the fact that she could feel Shen Ni’s soft, enticing curves rubbing up against her arm. In a bid to stop herself from revealing her extraordinary sensitivity towards Shen Ni’s touch to an outsider, she began reciting the Heart Sutra over and over to herself.

Extract from Chapter 41 of the English fan translation of To Embers We Return:

Knowing that Bian Jin would be in no state to stop her, Shen Ni cast aside any vestige of restraint she might have had. Quite without shame, she said, ‘You’re still unmarried, aren’t you, General Li? I daresay you’ve never even been in love before. What do you think a married couple does together? What might they want to do together?’

A sudden image flashed across Bian Jin’s mind: that moment in Shen Ni’s workshop, when Shen Ni had leaned forward and almost kissed her.

Shen Ni’s words had struck Li Si squarely in her sore spot. ‘You—’ she began.

‘I’d advise you not to ask why the surveillance system failed to capture any footage of me being intimate with my wife, general,’ said Shen Ni. ‘Unless, of course, you enjoy being a laughingstock.’

Extract from Chapter 41 of the English fan translation of To Embers We Return:

‘Shen Ni,’ said Li Si through clenched teeth. ‘If I hacked into your memory module now, and projected the contents on that wall over there, would we all see how much you’ve been lying?’

Shen Ni tucked her head into Bian Jin’s shoulder, looking the very picture of a soft, demure, helpless little wife. ‘You’re welcome to hack into my memory module anytime, general,’ she purred.

If you even can, was the unspoken implication. Not only was there no one in TangPro capable of breaking through her personal firewall, even if her shizun from Shuangji Hall were to come back to life and recruit a hundred Qin Wushangs and a thousand Li Shans to her aid, they would still fail to make even the slightest breach.

Chapter 40 of Ning Yuan's historical cyberpunk baihe To Embers We Return now up! (Shen Ni @ Bian Jin: I'll just... slip my hand inside, shall I) 🔗 read here: douqi.blog/2026/06/18/t...

Extract from Chapter 40 of the English fan translation of To Embers We Return:

Bian Jin gave a murmur of assent, and duly turned around. Then she looked back at Shen Ni over her shoulder. ‘Should I… unfasten my robes?’

It must be a daunting prospect for Bian Jin to have to undress — even if only partially — somewhere that was not her home. Shen Ni did not want to make things more awkward for her shijie than they already were, and still less did she want some passerby to catch an accidental glimpse of Bian Jin in a state of deshabille.

‘There’s no need for you to do that at all,’ she said. ‘If you trust me enough, shijie, I can simply slip my hand inside.’

And to prove she had no lascivious intentions, Shen Ni added, ‘I won’t touch you, shijie, I promise.’
