Summary
“A-Cheng. Where is your brother?”
Jiang Cheng leaned closer and, through gritted teeth, whispered, “Out, ba.”
The emperor blinked, a complicated expression washing over his face before it settled into a forced smile as he turned back to his guests. Lan Wangji chanced a glance at the empress, just to see the fire burning in her displeased eyes. Unlike the emperor, she did not try to hide it.
The emperor exhaled a chuckle before he said, “Apologies, old friend. It seems I will have to ask you for one more favor.”
“Do not worry, your highness,” Lan Qiren said. “I will have my nephew, Wangji, bring your son home safely immediately.”
“Even if you have to drag him back crying and screaming,” the empress said, words spat out with unrestrained anger, “you get that boy home immediately.”
After Wen Ruohan makes a direct threat against the emperor, the knights of Gusu Lan are summoned to bring the princes and princess to safety at Lotus Pier. They manage to make it to their destination without a scratch, but it does not take long before trouble finds them anyway—and Lan Wangji must make a choice.

Summary
It is a stupidly terrifying thought to picture Seoul without Nicholas in it. Nicholas has been less of a friend and more of a fact, something Euijoo never considered removable. And now—maybe he is. Maybe tomorrow or February or some terrible soon, Nicholas will shift categories from person I know like a second self to person I used to know.
And if this goes horribly—if Euijoo does what he’s planning and it detonates right in his face—he can always claim ignorance in the morning. He can blame the beer. He can say he doesn’t remember. Because what he’s about to do is stupid. Not just stupid—borderline catastrophic. But there’s another voice, quieter, stubborn: better to look stupid now than to spend the rest of your life wondering what if.

Summary
Wei Wuxian looks up. “And you’re still getting married? You’re that in love with her?”
“I am… also gay,” Lan Wangji says slowly.
“Oh.” Wei Wuxian looks… stricken. Then he quickly arranges his face and says, “That’s great. That’s not a bad thing at all, obviously. Good for you.”
Thank you? “Sorry. I thought Wei Ying knew.”
