    Summary

    In the end, it had been the Yiling Patriarch’s stratagems and his fierce fighting which had turned the tide of the war. He had killed both Wen Ruohan’s sons, and floored the traitor so that Meng Yao could strike the final blow. His status as the strongest warrior on the field had been undeniable.

    Thus, the offer extended to him by the Lan court. Take his place as the Emperor’s consort, the only one permitted to lay hands upon the Emperor, the only one to share his bed with him while he sleeps, unaware and vulnerable. His last, best line of defense.

    Or: Forced by his court to accept a consort, Lan Wangji is certain he has seen enough of the so-called Yiling Patriarch to know what he's getting: an uncouth ruffian. Slowly, he begins to realise that even an emperor's assumptions can be misplaced.

    Summary

    “Did we meet right before whatever landed me in the Cloud Recesses?” he asked, hopefully. “I don’t remember any intention of coming around for a nice visit, did I hit my head?”

    The youths exchanged glances, and proceeded to dash his newly raised hopes in the weirdest fashion possible.

    “You live here,” said the loud one, with exaggerated patience.

    “Bullshit.”

    In which an amnesiac Wei Wuxian concludes from the available evidence that he's been forced into a sham marriage, and acts accordingly.

    Summary

    “Wei Ying,” Lan Wangji started again, his heart speeding up at saying the birth name aloud. He looked at his lap, picking at his sleeve, as he continued, delicately, “What would the Yiling Patriarch consider equivalent payment to his generosity?”

    “Nothing!” Wei Ying said, popping a berry into his mouth and swallowing it alongside Lan Wangji’s composure.

    Lan Wangji’s heart rate was quickening for a different reason, one far less desirable.

    Gusu Lan had to pay.

    (In which, Dragon Wei Wuxian just wants the beautiful man asking for his help to freely join his hoard and become his mate, but the traditions of the Gusu Lan make the “freely” part hard.)

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian is married off to Wen Qing for political advantages. It's all good and well for most everyone involved until the day of the marriage comes-- only for Wei Wuxian to have the most eventful wedding night in world history, learn that he shares a considerable connection to his new wife in their love of science and research, and accidentally discover an interesting new application of the spiritual lingzhi mushroom.

    (Or; grandmaster-of-demonic-cultivation Wei Wuxian and let's-transfer-golden-cores Wen Qing get married politically and completely platonically, which goes about as well as could have been expected, in hindsight.)

    Summary

    Jiang Wanyin sneered triumphantly. His mother had maneuvered herself into a corner he had not even anticipated! This was already working much better than expected.

    He nodded graciously and straightened.

    "Very well. If that is your main concern, I will send for a matchmaker immediately. Wei Wuxian will marry a young master to ensure no possible children of his may threaten the Jiang family's hold on the Lotus throne."

    Or: The one where Jiang Cheng travels to the past, realizes making Wei Wuxian sect leader of the Jiang would solve ninety percent of his issues, and then has to deal with the remainind ten percent (Wen Ruohan) trying to kill them all.
    The unconscious Madam Yu may or may not have some things to say about this arrangement.
