Summary
She thought so cheaply of his affection, of his desires? When he’d so foolishly allowed himself a glimmer of hope that for once, someone would choose him?
Fine.
If he couldn’t have her free choice, he would make her see him in every meal enjoyed, in every cup of tea savoured. She would think of him when she wrote, when she played the qin, when she bathed, when she opened her eyes in the morning.
He had not a moment of peace from her, and yet she saw so little of his worth, feared him like he was some sort of beast.
Fine. It was fine. He would show her what he was capable of.
He would make her crave him.

Summary
Zhang Zhe is astonished and confused when he hears that Princess Leyang’s study companions are fighting over his reputation. The only one of these women he’s met is his fiancée, Yao Xi, and he has the strong impression that she doesn’t want to marry him because he comes from the regions. He is asked to resolve a case where one of the study companions, Jiang Xuening, is accused of being a rebel. Unexpectedly, he falls in love with her at first sight.
Then he becomes aware that he’s certainly not the only man who admires Jiang Xuening. The mysterious Junior State Preceptor, Xie Wei, seems to admire her too. Why doesn’t she have any awareness of this?
The more serious questions, however, are who Xie Wei really is, whether he’s a rebel, and what he’s really up to. Zhang Zhe is determined to find out.
[So I want to finish off one of my other fictions - the post canon murder mystery with Liu Peizhi - but then I realised I had to explore how and why Zhang Zhe could have such a rose-coloured view of Jiang Xuening. This is my attempt to explain things from his perspective. He mostly only sees her on her best behaviour.]

Summary
When Shen Zhiyi is rescued from the Prince of Yue’s clutches, she’s grateful, but she wonders what on earth could have compelled her former teacher Xie Wei to risk his life in such a crazy way.
And then, Zhiyi realises that Xie Wei is in love with her dear friend Ning, and he’s not the gentle scholar she’d always thought he was. Who is he really? Zhiyi can’t quite believe where the clues are pointing… surely it’s impossible?
[Deals with events in Episodes 33 and 34 from Zhiyi’s point of view. I’m interested in showing her character development.]

Summary
Xie Wei comes to the capital with the intention to assassinate the Emperor, Shen Lang. However, once he comes to know his cousin, his attitudes undergo a shift.
[I wanted to explore the idea that Xie Wei came to the capital with a very firm intention to kill Shen Lang, but how his attitude changes.
Edited to add - okay, it’s become much much more - basically looking at a whole lot of scenes from XW’s rather skewed perspective. Also, now with raunchy scenes, so the rating has been updated.
Now finally finished - given the original intention of the fiction, I wanted to finish it with a scene with Xie Wei and Shen Lang.]

When Duke Xue sparks a rebellion in the capital, and the Imperial Officials are held under arrest, Jiang Boyou wonders if his erstwhile friend, Xie Wei, has finally failed. He’s not sure how to feel about this, given that he suspects Xie Wei used his position as a teacher to seduce his second daughter, broke her heart, and caused her to flee from the city.
However, Jiang Boyou discovers that Xie Wei survived the rebellion, and even more surprisingly and improperly, his second daughter is in his company. He goes to confront the man and extract his daughter. He thinks he knows exactly what has gone on. But does he really?
