   Summary

   Boris Konev has known Yang Wen-li longer than anyone else. Yet he feels like the least qualified to have a place in his heart, and the least qualified to take vengeance when all goes wrong. A tale of irony, longing, and an undutiful man who was never invited to the banquet of history.

   [June 2025 update: Act II has started and so has Boris’s unfortunate tenure as a double triple agent.]
