A handbound book sewn on linen cords with the pages and sewing exposed at the spine the cover boards are dark gray weathered wood with the title stenciled vertically in red. The ends of the linen cords are laced through the board, then held down with furniture staples and the loose ends are frayed.
A book bound in black, brown, and beige plaid, with a light brown leather spine, and small paper labels on both the spine and the outer edge of the cover. The label reads "Mo Du / priest / vol. 1"
The front cover: the innermost cutout is the actual title of the book, scrawled in green marker, the next layer is the "transmigration novel" with a floral background and fonts you might find on a romance novel, and the outermost cover is a traditional looking style with linen paper and a vertical paper label for the title.
A piece of blue plastic 100x30mm with a triangular cutout to assist in trimming the margins off of corners when covering cardboard with paper/cloth.
Xi Ping plucked a qin string with a twang. “For example, say you wanted to kill High Elder Xuanwu. At most, others would say that an unfilial disciple had gone berserk and killed his own teacher. Is there anything interesting about that story? It’d put me to sleep, anyway. But if you call yourself Lovesickness, when people tell the story, it’ll turn into ‘Elder Xuanwu died through the machinations of lovesickness,’ and I guarantee that your name and his will live on in the annals of history for ten thousand years. Even when the spiritual mountains are gone, the two of you won’t be forgotten.”
Two pieces of wood about the size of 2x4s but with squarer edges, with two threaded metal rods connecting and handles to turn to tighten/loosen them.

The front cover has three layers: the outermost cover is in blue linen-weave paper with a vertical paper label of the "original" novel's title in hanzi, in the upper right corner. The title is partially cut off by an angled rectangle cutout that shows the second cover underneath, a floral pattern with the title of the "transmigration novel" in bronze foil at the bottom. This is once again cut off by the next cutout, revealing the actual title of the book written in sharpie on lined notebook paper, in the center.

Screenshot of a translated webnovel: Bian Jin decided to test out the strength of her arm next. That probably wouldn’t put as much stress on her spine, she thought. From around her waist, she unwrapped the whip she’d bought online, tossed a small stone into the air, then flicked the whip at it. She did not do so particularly forcefully, but an arc of bright white light seemed to trail after the whip as it swung through the air. The whip struck the stone, smashing it completely into powder; the resulting crack seemed to echo all the way to the mountains beyond Chang’an’s walls. The whip that had cost Bian Jin a full five hundred taels of silver disintegrated in a cloud of white smoke. Bian Jin looked down at it, nonplussed. Then, with a faraway rumble, one of the distant mountains collapsed partway. The sound echoed through the streets of Chang’an, drawing shouts of both alarm and speculation. The more panic-stricken lookers-on even wondered if some mutant beast or other had finally breached the capital’s walls. Even Bian Jin, who’d seen more than her share of bizarre sights, was taken aback by this turn of events.

Jiang Cheng wants to reach out and take Wen Wangji by the throat, but right now, it’s all he can do just to hold still. His muscles burn from holding his position but he can’t let himself fall, can’t even blink. “You may move,” says Wen Wangji, and Jiang Cheng barely catches his balance before he collapses. He grabs Wen Wangji’s wrist, twists his arm back. “Wei Wuxian thought of you as a friend,” he grits out. “That was his mistake,” says Wen Wangji. Suibian is still there, Jiang Cheng could pick it up, could strike Wen Wangji right now. “I want them to do it,” says Wang Lingjiao, jerking a hand towards Jiang Cheng and Madam Yu. “Jiang Wanyin. Yu-furen. Scrub this table until it is spotless,” says Wen Wangji. “With their bare hands,” adds Wang Lingjiao. “With your bare hands,” Wen Wangji repeats in that fucking annoying toneless voice of his. Jiang Cheng starts scrubbing. The sword is still there, no one has bothered to move it out of his reach. He can use it any time he wants. He wi
