    Summary

    It’s a really unfortunate thing, developing a crush on your husband. Wei Ying had assumed this would be easy. Lan Zhan had been so icy and unpleasant to him, it had never occurred to him that he might end up spending the next however many years with this dumb, burning feeling in his chest whenever he looks at him.

    “Okay,” says Wei Ying. “But tell me if I…if the pretending gets to be too hard, okay?”

    “It will not,” says Lan Zhan, quietly certain.

    Summary

    There’s the quiet knock of his assistant, Su She, at the door. He likes to hover anxiously outside the glass walls of his office as if Meng Yao can’t see him. This is usually followed by Meng Yao waving him in wordlessly, taking something or filing something or approving something whilst Su She wrings his hands.

    Today, Meng Yao has to balance the phone between his ear and shoulder as Su She passes him a baby.

    ***

    Yet another illegitimate Jin baby appears and Jin Guangshan takes no responsibility.

    Meng Yao has to do everything around here.

    Summary

    When he is feeling particularly sadomasochistic, he pays Shi Qingxuan’s grave a visit. These, he remembers most distinctly.

    He and the grave commune in silence: He Xuan glares, the grave is unmoved. In the third century, he glares, but he sweeps the plot of dirt too, especially when the heavens are wrapped up in one thing or another and no one else has stopped by in a while. In the fourth, he brings flowers. He doesn’t know anything about flowers. He resides over death, not the princesses of life. So he picks colorful, sprightly bouquets, ones he thinks Shi Qingxuan might’ve liked. In the fifth, he is struck by revelation: he glares with renewed intensity at the wooden marker erected over Shi Qingxuan’s grave, and he says, “Hello.”

    He Xuan learns the interminable length of a lifetime.
