    Summary

    To the entirety of the upper cultivation world, Chu Wanning is what happens when a righteous man falls. He's greedy, lustful, and drunk on power. He surrounds himself with Butterfly Boned Beauties. He snatches up every one that goes on auction, and he uses them shamefully to grow his power.

    Only at Sisheng Peak do they know the truth.

    When a rare, powerful Butterfly Boned Beauty goes on auction, Chu Wanning leaves the mountain to purchase them, and almost immediately finds himself at risk of becoming the man the cultivation world believes him to be.

    Summary

    “I don’t know what it is to lead men,” Lan Wangji confessed to his brother.

    “You lead, as always, by example,” said Lan Xichen.

    Lan Wangji meets Wei Wuxian for the first time at the onset of the Sunshot Campaign. It's not enough to learn how to co-lead a battalion together; Lan Wangji must learn how to adjust to the demands of war.

    Summary

    After his death at the first siege of the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian is thrown back in time to when he was nine years old, just before Jiang Fengmian took him to Lotus Pier with its wavering affection and unpayable mountain of debts. He decides to take the second chance he has been offered, to live freely and without regrets.

    As it turns out, a life without regrets involves:
    1. Avoiding all attempts to be adopted so you can launch your career as a rogue-cultivating-assassin, while
    2. Juggling a hit-list comprised of the cultivation world’s Who’s Who, and
    3. Desperately missing your not-boyfriend who picked the worst ever timing to confess his undying love for you.

    Murder and mayhem to follow.

    Summary

    Since he was a child, since Lan Wangji had first become aware of his own alienating effect on others, he has long resigned himself to a loveless marriage. Perhaps even a companionate one, so long as his partner was agreeable and unbothersome and let him have his own space.

    He could not have even begun to predict Wei Wuxian.

    Summary

    To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

    He comes close, though.

    By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

    What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

    “Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

    Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.
