    Summary

    Wei Wuxian had never seen so many people in one place.
    It was exhilarating. It was loud. It was sweaty. It was impossible to see anything.

    To his left, a guy holding two drinks wobbled dangerously. To his right, a girl perched on her boyfriend’s shoulders screamed something unintelligible in delight. Wei Wuxian narrowed his eyes. Shoulders. That was the way to go.
    He turned around, determined to find someone generous, tall, and either slightly drunk or wildly susceptible to charm.

    That’s when he saw him.

    Summary

    “Are you a cultivator?”

    “No,” she says, steadily. “This one doesn’t possess the core for it.” She pauses and raises her eyes to his, so boldly he finds it a little startling. “I believe that I can be of use to the Jiang sect in spite of that, and I have brought a gift to prove it. May I show you?”

    Fully intrigued now, Jiang Cheng nods. The girl unslings the bundle from her back, unties a couple of straps, and unrolls it on the floor in a smooth motion.

    Jiang Cheng is on his feet before he even consciously realizes it’s happened, and the reaction murmurs out through the hall. There, on a blanket that belongs on the back of a horse, are five Wen cultivator swords, offered to him by a girl who looks like the word “bumpkin” was invented specifically for her. What the fuck.

    “Where did you get those?” he asks, instead of asking “What the fuck?” out loud, because that would be unbecoming of his status as sect leader.

    The girl meets his eyes again, lifts her chin, and says simply, “I killed the men who carried them.”

    Or: Fan Dingxiang cultivates the swole path. Jiang Cheng doesn't know how to handle that.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian didn’t imagine acquiring a cat like this, nor did he imagine acquiring a fluffy white cat that, even covered in dirt and debris and clutched to a four-year-old’s chest like a teddy bear, manages to give the impression it’s judged his entire life and found it deeply wanting.

    “Uh, A’Yuan,” he asks slowly, just in case this is a hallucination. “Who’s this?”

    “A cat,” A’Yuan says proudly, leaning his round cheek against the top of the cat’s head, while the cat continues to look at Wei Wuxian like he’s wearing week-old clothes covered in food stains.

    Or: Wei Wuxian gets a cat, and then a boyfriend, both of which are a surprise.

    Summary

    When Wei Wuxian brings a critically ill A-Yuan to Gusu for treatment, he offers a very enticing bargain: submitting himself freely to cleansing and punishment by the Lan. Then he adds something else that the Lan cannot possibly turn down: take in all of the Wen remnants as well, and he will destroy the Stygian Tiger Seal first.

    Lan Qiren isn't about to let an opportunity to rid the world of that thing pass by. He just wishes he had a better idea of the complications doing so will bring.

    Summary

    In the end, the whole affair is a bit anticlimactic. Nie Huaisang, second son of Qinghe Nie, goes to his knees before another clan’s ancestors and rises up as Nie Huaisang, Chief Consort of Sandu Shengshou, Leader of the Yunmeng Jiang. He isn’t quite sure what he’d been expecting when he decided to marry a near stranger for the sake of political intrigue, but it certainly hadn’t been whatever this is.

    aka: Nie Huaisang and Jiang Wanyin get married. That's only the first problem.
