== Summary ==
From [http://jibrailis.livejournal.com/26811.html the author]: "In which there is an all-boys boarding school in China that likes to get really, really competitive."

From [https://www.pinboard.in/u:janebot/b:8bf4b84c9414 pinboard.in]: "Wherein Shou Yan goes to an all boys boarding school for martial arts duelist and has to suffered being paired with bubbly Wan Lee as his shield partner when he thinks Wan Lee and his roommate, Qin Song, would have been a better fit and he, Shou Yang, and Feng, Qin Song's partner as well. That's not his jealousy talking either, okay?"

From [https://www.pinboard.in/u:cestwhat/b:a22a6028fc61 pinboard.in]: "Shou Yan's years at the Jing Fei Dueling Academy are already overshadowed by his formidable elder brother; being in love with his hyperactive sword brother is just an added trial. This is really charming!"
