Xin is an ansible, using her song magic to connect the originworld of the Imperial Authority and its far-flung colonies— a role that is forced upon magically-gifted women “of a certain closeness”. When a dead body comes through her portal at a time of growing rebellion, Xin is drawn deep into a station-wide conspiracy along with Ouyang Suqing, one of the station’s mysterious, high-ranking starmages.

A queer short story packed with worldbuilding, romance, and rebellion that follows an "ansible" who can open portals with her songs. Enjoyed this a lot.

Short magical SF/Fantasy cross-over novelette about a two women, about love and a rebellion that threatens to kill them or tear them apart. It would probably be better to speak/read Chinese to understand the „songs“ that connects the Ansible and her cluster - definitely reminds me of Sense8 - to open portals between the worlds of the empire.
