    Summary

    Wei Wuxian dies at twenty-two and doesn’t come back. Lan Wangji dies in an “unfortunate accident” in a temple in Yunping at thirty-seven. The world moves on.

    Thousands of years later, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan have a senior thesis in cultivation to co-write on the Yiling Patriarch. It doesn’t go exactly how they were expecting.
    -
    “I still do not understand why you were able to read the journal in the first place,” Lan Zhan says.

    Wei Ying grins. “You’ll laugh,” he says. He won’t, of course. Lan Zhan doesn’t laugh. But maybe he can swing a smile. “It’s because of the name thing. He wrote his name into the scrambling talisman. So it says that no one can undo the lock but Wei Ying.” He hooks a thumb at himself.

    Everyone’s always said his name is unlucky. This is the first time it’s worked out in his favor. It’s not a coincidence either; apparently his mother thought it would be funny. Mrs. Yu had told him that with a curl in her lip, as if it didn’t make him wish he knew his parents even more.

    Summary

    Today, Wei Ying is dressed for the emperor. He has been planning this exact moment for months; timed it to precision, even. If they will not let Wei Ying serve the emperor, then Wei Ying will make the emperor come to him.

    And all he needs—is for the man to catch a glimpse. Just one glimpse of him, and Wei Ying knows he will have the chance to alter his fate.

    When he feels the man's eyes on him from afar, Wei Ying hurriedly gets up from where he’s sitting by the lotus pond. “Pardon me, your majesty,” he lies, lowering his head, hiding his smile. “I lost my way.”

    Summary

    “We can’t forget the condom, of course,” Wei Ying re-affirms, with a straight face. “Very important.”

    “Very,” Lan Zhan nods. “Wouldn’t want any accidents to occur. Not when you’re most fertile. The chances are… very high.”

    “Wouldn’t be ideal,” Wei Ying says, nodding even harder.

    “Yes, wouldn’t be,” Lan Zhan parrots.

    Or, Lan Zhan and Wei Ying attempt to baby-trap each other into a marriage, without realising the other is doing the same. The results... are not that bad?!!
