:Granny Jiang was an ignored old widow who barely eked out a living making mediocre potions and medicines. But when the House of Seven Winds engulfed her shack, she began to make concoctions that people claim are miraculous. She claims that she now finds all the ingredients for her new, more-potent elixirs inside the House. But where? And more disturbingly: what ''are'' these ingredients?

:A smug bully who is more handsome than anyone has a right to be and not-at-all gallant, Shu is the epitome of a corrupt soldier. He makes a fine living demanding bribes and protection money and is more than happy to let criminals go if they hand over their loot to him. But now he says there's something ''important'' he must find in the House of Seven Winds--and he doesn't care if he loses everything he has to get it. The look of fear on his face makes it seem like this time he's serious. Or is he running yet another scam?

:This elderly woman was once the ''Mysterious Mingxia'', a martial hero of no small renown. She now runs the Snake's Sojourn teahouse that ostensibly caters to craftsmen and merchants, but serves peasants, nobles, and xia as well. The Sojourn has become one of the few places that such cross-class mingling can happen, and her rules are respected due to her reputation, the multiple Xia that frequent the place, and the support of a few well-placed officials. | :This elderly woman was once the ''Mysterious Mingxia'', a martial hero of no small renown.
