    Summary

    “Then, I believe I’ll take you up on your offer,” he agrees. “As for today, what did you have planned?”

    Jin Guangyao smiles and inclines his head slightly towards Jin Ling, feeling oddly mirthful. “I am at the mercy of the Young Master’s whims.”

    (A day of babysitting his nephew alongside Lan Xichen forces Jin Guangyao to face what he truly wants, and the idea that maybe he can actually have it.)

    Summary

    You tell A-Ling that Xiao Hua will be here waiting when he returns to Jinlintai, mentally kicking yourself as soon as the words leave your mouth.

    Here I am promising A-Ling this damned mouse will be here when he comes back, but what are the chances it will survive? And even if it does, I am not in the market for a pet rodent. Heaven, Jiang Cheng is right. I truly am too soft on the boy.

    //

    Jin Guangyao finds himself caring for an injured harvest mouse his nephew's pup comes across, and no one is more surprised than he is when he begins to grow undeniably attached to her; the tiny thing even comes to his aid, more than once.

    Or: the author uses a pint-sized, unsuspecting rodent as a gateway to examining both A-Yao himself and some of his most important relationships, recently deceased son included.

    Summary

    It turned out that all Meng Yao had to do to turn his fortunes in life around was find a beautiful man in a ditch, save his life by wagering his own cultivation, and allow everyone to assume they were legitimately married.

    (or: Meng Yao vs every single marriage-related trope: FIGHT.)
