A woman takes a boy's hand and teaches him to write 'shi' — and the boy gains a surname.

In a world where mountains and seas hold forgotten gods, a hand-held lesson in the written character 'teacher' becomes a boy's first act of self. From the author of Cultivator Against Hero Society and others, an atmospheric xuanhuan with strong female lead and poetic, almost fairytale prose.
