With Xiao Fuxuan at his side, Wu Xingxue survives the ordeal of recovering his memories—only to find himself with lingering questions. Their search for answers leads them to an impossible place: another Urbs Caelestia, where history repeats in warped reflections. Amid the fractures, Hua Xin’s truth surfaces, shaped by the devotion he carried, the choices he cannot undo, and the reckoning that awaits him.
To complicate matters further, the reckoning is interrupted by Tianxiu and Rex Spiritus, who believe their world is the core reality—which makes Wu Xingxue and Xiao Fuxuan a threat.
Despite all opposition, Wu Xingxue is determined to destroy the Heavenly Principles for good. But when reality threatens to collapse under divine wrath, will the love he shares with Xiao Fuxuan be strong enough to save what remains?
Dragged back into the present after a battle in a warped past, Wu Xingxue carries the scars of a timeline that should never have been. Xiao Fuxuan brings the weakened archfiend to Fly-On-By to recover, but the hideaway offers little refuge—especially when Feng Xueli, the new archon of Nightgleam, arrives at the gates ready for a fight. The schemes of a long-hidden enemy are dragging them all into dire conflict.
Amid the turmoil, the truth of Wu Xingxue and Xiao Fuxuan’s shared past finally emerges. They share a bond that transcends good and evil, tested by time and tribulation—and desperately needed now as they face impending doom.
Wu Xingxue has awakened and realized that he is indeed an archfiend. However, much of his past, like his connection to the mysterious Rex Spiritus or the Arbor Divinus, remains an enigma. Adding to the puzzle is the legendary Tianxiu Immortal, Xiao Fuxuan, who continues to support him. Wu Xingxue’s fragmented memories suggest that Xiao Fuxuan’s helpfulness might stem from a surprisingly simple reason—one that ties them together inexorably.
Determined to uncover the truth, Wu Xingxue travels with his ragtag group to the feared stronghold of fiends: Nightgleam. Once inside, he will surely encounter the archfiend who usurped his position as leader of all fiends.
But when they least expect it, the group is dragged into a vision of the past. And the illusion—if it is an illusion—holds more shocking revelations than any of them could have imagined.
The Banquet of the Winding Wine ends with one nobleman falling asleep warm in his bed. But when he wakes, he’s shackled as a prisoner in the Northern Domain of Tealspire, feared by all as an archfiend! And he’s not the only one who’s just woken up. From fan-favorite danmei author, Mu Su Li, author of Copper Coins: Tong Qian Kan Shi—also available from Seven Seas!
Floating above the Boundless Sea is Tealspire—a towering, thirty-three-story prison built to contain fiends, where the damned are forgotten and demons waste away. At its summit, Wu Xingxue awakens with blood on his hands, chains at his feet, and no memory of how he arrived. The life he once led as a nobleman of Magpie Haven is gone, replaced by confinement and confusion.
Disoriented and stripped of everything, Wu Xingxue is no longer a pampered aristocrat—he’s an archfiend. But fate has other plans. His awakening stirs the legendary Tianxiu Immortal, Xiao Fuxuan: a cold, enigmatic figure with the word mian etched into his neck, wielding a power steeped in divine judgment.
As Tealspire begins to collapse around them, the two must forge a reluctant alliance to survive its fall—and face whatever awaits below. Yet the mysteries only deepen. Why did Tealspire fall? What became of Wu Xingxue’s former life? And who, truly, is the Tianxiu Immortal?
