    Summary

    “Well—maybe you’ll get lucky, and Lan Wangji won’t like you at all. Then he might send you home and keep up his part of the deal anyway!”

    Nie Huaisang meant it as a joke, but Wei Ying sees potential.

    After all: if there’s one thing he’s learned in the months since the engagement, it’s that he is utterly unsuitable for a place like the Cloud Recesses.

    All he has to do is act like it.

     

    (...After a century of war, the great sects are looking to make peace by the most common means: marriage. When Wei Wuxian is promised to the Lan Clan, it is thought to be a grave insult.

    Things do not turn out the way anyone expects.)

    Summary

    "I was just wondering what snacks or sweets Hanguang-Jun prefers with his tea."

    Wei Wuxian laughs, opens his mouth, and then has the horrible realization that he really, truly, doesn't know.

    It takes a moment to sink in. He's known Lan Zhan ever since he was fifteen, had saved the Cultivation world together with him twice over, is actually married to the man, and Wei Wuxian doesn't know what his favorite tea snack is.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian barely makes a sound when Jin Zixun’s sword goes through his chest. A tiny noise is punched out of him — half gasp, half sigh. Jin Zixun, wearing that smirk that Lan Wangji has always hated, moves to pull the sword out.

    This won’t do; Lan Wangji knows enough about battlefield medicine to understand the principle of keeping the weapon in the wound until a medic arrives. So he does the only thing that occurs to him in the moment, letting the momentum of flight be the force behind the swing; he cuts off Jin Zixun’s hand.

    -

    Lan Wangji goes with Wei Wuxian to his nephew's one-month celebration instead of Wen Ning. They still don't make it to the party.

    Summary

    He can’t get Jin Guangyao’s words out of his head.

    If he’d only believed in Wei Wuxian, if he’d only been willing to stand up for him, could it all have been avoided?
