    Summary

    “Nie Huaisang?” he demands, stumbling down the dirt path towards him. “What- are you the one who took down my wards?!”

    He looks—awful. His eyes are sunken, his cheeks sallow. The robes he is wearing are nothing like the luxurious fabric he used to wear when he was still Yunmeng Jiang’s first disciple. Instead they are thread beard and worn, from a coarse fabric that looks irritating to the skin. There is a shakiness to his gait that Nie Huaisang has never seen from his friend, who always walked with such a presence as if to defy a world that has sentenced him to death.

    “Of course it was me!” he scolds. “You really should take better care and hide your talismans.”

    Wei Wuxian, rudely enough, ignores his (useful!) advice and instead looks at him like he’s mad. “What are you doing here?”

    “Betraying the gentry and siding with evil, duh,” Huaisang rolls his eyes. “Now, will you let me in? I’m hungry.”

    Summary

    After a brief meeting of families and an equally brief betrothal, Wei Wuxian is married on a balmy morning in the autumn of his twenty-fifth year.

    Despite his passion for love-ballads and romance novels, Wei Wuxian never expected that he might be married one day. As the common-born ward of a merchant, he lacked the standing to find a wife among the gentry; and though he had liked the idea of a love match—where neither his rank nor that of his wife would matter very much, as long as Wei Wuxian could provide a comfortable home for them—no would-be beloved had ever materialized.

    It was thus that he came to be unwed at the age of twenty-four, when one of his uncle’s old friends from court wrote to Lotus Pier to ask if Jiang Fengmian would be in favor of a ruzhui marriage with Wei Wuxian as the bridegroom.

    Or: the minghun of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, in four parts.

    Summary

    The first thing he thinks he hears is music. His guqin, soft and intense in all the most perfect ways. His guqin is good, constant and firm. His guqin is sleek, beautiful, and Lan Wangji can hear it reverberating through his ears.

    The second thing he hears is his own sniveling, low and hitching.

    Something hurts.

    It takes a moment for him to recognize it as his hand that hurts.

    Summary

    “Hanguang-Jun will take care of you,” says the boy firmly, and Wei Wuxian nods.

    “Of course he will.”

    Of course he will. He’s too noble to do anything else. Too noble to cast off a man who’s sick, crippled, a disgrace. A lunatic, they had called Mo Xuanyu. A fool to pelt with stones and lock up alone in a room. Well, now Wei Wuxian knows why.

    Summary

    They’ll believe a stranger, but not their own disciple. Wei Wuxian swallows that thought down. “Right. Okay. Okay. So you just… drug me and ask me questions? And I answer?”

    Lan Zhan’s doing that thing again. Looking unaccountably sad. But he nods. “Yes, Wei Ying. Is that what you want?”

    “If it will prove that this is incredibly fucked up and untrue? Yes, absolutely.”
