    Summary

    Wei Wuxian's hands slam on either side of him, essentially caging him in. “Do you think your brother pays me out of the goodness of his heart? Just who do you think you are?"

    When the second Lan prince finds himself a hostage of the man most infamous for his contempt of aristocracy, he does not expect to be thrown into a world that is right in all the ways his own has always been wrong.

    or: the good ol’ cliche of enemies fated for each other

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian had it good, for early in his teenage years he discovered a surefire way to "cheat" the system. By convincing everyone around him that he was an omega, he had a built in excuse to hide in seclusion for four or five days at a time and avoid whatever annoyances life had thrown his way. The ruse backfired when Madam Yu grew suspicious, and no one suspected a thing when he actually presented. Karma came for him, and in no subtle way.

    A trip to the palace where his sister was supposed to be presented to the Emperor for selection as concubine goes horribly awry when Wei Wuxian ends up in the alpha's bed instead. And things get worse when he's accused of a ruse to steal the Emperor's seed to birth the future crown prince.

    All Wei Wuxian wants to do is go back to his idyllic life in Lotus Pier, but extraneous circumstances keep him bound there against his will. And, unwittingly enough, his presence has caused quite the disruption for the small faction of saboteurs who wish to regain the crown for their clan.

    Summary

    When Jin Zixuan came to Lan Wangji asking for help, he should have asked questions. He should have known that it wasn't going to be a simple trip into the countryside. But he didn't, so here he was stuck in a country village until Jin Zixuan could win back the heart of Jiang Yanli. A feat that might be easier if he didn't trip over his own two feet everytime he tried to talk to her. Lan Wangji supposed that was why Jin Zixuan brought himself and MianMian for support in his endvour. MianMian for her easy sociable nature, and Lan Wangji for his extraordinary empathic abilities as guide. It should have been an easy task, if it wasn't for the surprise return of the Jiang's ward Wei Wuxian. His constant chaparoning of Jiang Yanli was more akin to being guard dog, and Lan Wangji has to go head to head with him if he hopes to return to his library before the spring is over.
    Except Wei Wuxian isn't what he seems, and the pull Lan Wangji feels for him is unlike anything he's ever felt.

    Summary

    Escape or death.

    The first explosion rocks the complex scant minutes after he leaves the room, Xue Yang's boredom finally winning out over Jin Guangyao's insistence at their attendance. Wei Wuxian has only the breath of a moment to wish fleetingly that he had set the timer a bit longer. The first charge is set as far from the conference and attendees as possible, to be the most confusing. A second goes off in the opposite direction, then a third, further south.

    Everything erupts into movement, the guards scrambling at the explosions, the guests starting to emerge from the hall in a clump of confused, controlled panic as the charges continue to detonate. It’s now or never.

    Escape or death.

    He flees.

    Taken at the end of the Sunshot War and forced into servitude to the Jin, Wei Wuxian makes a desperate escape attempt during a Federation conference. Though the universe (and his family) think he's dead - that he has been dead for 13 years - he has no choice but to try to escape. To find his freedom, to stop the Jin, and maybe to prevent another war.
