Is Meng Xi Shi 梦溪石's pen name ('dream creek stone') a reference to Shen Kuo's Dream Pool Essays / Meng Xi Bi Tan 梦溪笔谈 ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_Po

One of those moments where you put two things together and feel a quantum superposition of foolish for not noticing before, and foolish for making things up! In my defense, the title of Dream Pool Essays is the only place I have ever seen 溪 translated as 'pool'. I'm so curious whether this is a real reference.

Just wrote a review for Meng Xi Shi's third volume of "Thousand Autumns" 🌸

www.goodreads.comSollenbum's review of Thousand Autumns4/5: Meng Xi Shi’s “Thousand Autumns” third volume opens with Yan Wushi being attacked by five other martial artists who work together to defeat him. There is no honour in this type attack but it is effective, which leaves him so badly injured that he would most certainly have died if Shen Qiao’s had not rescued him. Despite Yan Wushi’s betrayal in the previous volume, Shen Qiao saves him and spends the next section of the book, helping him heal. On the surface it makes no sense that Shen Qiao is willing to put himself in danger to save the man who handed him over to an enemy, but there is mor...

Reading chapter 9, volume 1 of “Thousand Autumns” 🌸 This first volume feels as if it is laying the groundwork for the main plot and couple. Shen Qiao’s character and backstory are a mystery even to himself because of his injury and there seems to be no rush to unveil his past.

Shen Qiao’s relationship with the young Chen Gong shows that he is a truly nice person. His instincts are clearly still intact but all his abilities + even his health are compromised.

Have begun reading “Thousand Autumns” by Meng Xi Shi 🌸 Am only on chapter 4 but it seems to be well written with good characterization and philosophical reflections. It opens quite suddenly with Shen Qiao falling off a cliff and Yan Wushi deciding to have him nursed back to health. They are clearly very different people so it will be interesting to follow their relationship unfold.

DANMEI READERS, DROP EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING, WU SHUANG (PEERLESS) IS LICENSED!

If you have read Qian Qiu (Thousand Autumns), then you might like this! It's by the same author, Meng Xi Shi. In this novel, you will have RIVALRY, constantly trying to ONE UP EACH OTHER, murder mysteries and other investigations, political intrigue, extremely sick very smart protagonist, narcissistic but also very smart ML, among others. It's funny and a real fun to read! Also, stories set in the Sui dynasty is super rare!

Edited to add: I forgot to mention, this is in the same universe as Thousand Autumns but you don't need to have read Thousand Autumns to read this. The characters in Thousand Autumns have a small cameo, that's about it
