Zhao Lian is a sheriff without a county. A member of an old magical order called the Shuli Go, she was raised to uphold the law and protect her fellow citizens. But after her order was disassembled, she was left with no choice but to wander in search of work for someone with her very particular set of skills.

Flush with wealth for the first time in her life,  she grants herself one night of indulgent, sensual luxury in one of the finest brothels in the Central Empire. But as one night turns into two, then three, she finds herself at risk of falling: into love and poverty. But the woman she's falling for has risks of her own, and lives can be taken as easily as coin in a land where contracts are very sacred things.

Set immediately following the first story (Beyond the Mists) and Lian's first dose of wealth, this is a largely standalone story that nonetheless connects with previous entries and themes. Includes the first recurring character (besides Lian herself), and also sets up future installments. Also plenty smutty! (If you're into that)
