    Summary

    From his job in the Armitage L train station booth, Wei Ying has watched The Most Beautiful Man In The World ride the train at 8 am and 4:30 pm for years, always in perfect suits, always with perfect hair, always with a perfect smile.

    He's going to marry that guy someday. So what if he doesn't know his name. Names have nothing to do with true love.

    When he saves His Future Husband from being squished by a train, Wei Ying finds himself engulfed in a tsunami of Lans who think he really is going to marry Mr. Wonderful, Lan Xichen, their son/brother/uncle/nephew. Despite himself, Wei Ying likes belonging to them. Except for the lying. Except for the guilt. Except for the fact that he took one look at his pretend-fiancé's brother, Lan Zhan, and maybe, MAYBE fell stupidly, hopelessly in love.

    He can't tell them. He can't not tell them. How could this possibly get any worse??? (spoiler alert: it gets worse)

    Summary

    Lan Wangji takes A-Yuan to the aquarium to see the special merfolk exhibition. Lan Wangji thinks it is just an actor with a fake tail, until he sees the exhibition in real life.

    There’s a merman kept in a reef tank—scales mostly black with iridescent red glimmers shifting with the movement of the water. The merman is shedding silent tears, a dejected tilt to his shoulders. He looks miserable. The other aquarium goers think it's a performance; they point and whisper and laugh. Lan Wangji has a feeling it is not.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji hesitated for a moment, and then turned to face Wei Wuxian.

    “I believe that sometimes we must make choices and take actions that others will not understand,” Lan Wangji told him. There was something incredibly sharp and meaningful in his gaze, like he was imparting a deeply held secret. “Wei Ying, I would do anything for the people I love.”

    --

    Or,

    Lan Wangji can commit a little murder, as a treat.

    Summary

    “His majesty hardly spared me a glance on our wedding night, so it cannot be that I am ugly," Wei Ying shakily says. “He does not even know how I look like. Or is my build not graceful or slender enough? What exactly is so wrong with me?”

    The First Prince, Lan Xichen, sighs. “You will soon find that in this palace, we do not ask questions.”

    “No, we are sent away instead, to die a lonely death,” Wei Ying laughs sorely. But with that very thought, he rips off his red wedding veil, the last thing tethering him to the emperor, and vows angrily under his breath, “But know this: I will live more than well.”

    Or, Wei Ying is wed to emperor Lan Wangji in order to save the Gusu Lan empire. But instead of the blissful marriage he was promised, he is spurned and sent to the cold palace—until a chance encounter changes his fate.

    Summary

    The man standing at Lan Xichen’s side has Lan Wangji’s wintry gaze, but he’s far broader at the shoulders than Wei Wuxian remembers. Lan Wangji was always a pretty kid, but to look at him now, the depth of his beauty is nearly arresting. It would be too much for anyone to look at, but something about that frozen, distant expression on his face makes the beauty so sharp it cuts, turning it into something enticing, something Wei Wuxian wants to touch even if it hurts.

    This is that same boy that yelled at him and bit him all those years ago?!

    Summary

    Wei Ying uses his smile and bright laughs like a folding screen, like one of Nie Huaisang's many fans, but Lan Wangji sees. He sees the network of lightning and raised skin on the boy's back, sees his smile falter with every barbed reprimand from Jiang Wanyin and the way he constantly skirts around the border of things, as if he has to constantly know the point where he is unwanted.

    He looks at Wei Ying and sees a future of squandered potentials and a brightness curbed at every turn, of a life making himself less in a Sect that would always see him as a servant's son and the reflection of their own inadequacy, and he laments that Wei Ying could not seem to see that - See past the sense of debt and false belonging his so-called family had ingrained into him.

    But Lan Wangji is a patient man, and he would make Wei Ying see in time. Even if it means using the insecurities of Wei Ying's own family against him.

    Summary

    “Lovely weather for a funeral.”

    “Atmospheric,” Lan Zhan agreed.  Expecting, as had happened so often in his life, for the handsome stranger to stiffen at the sound of his voice, for that smile to turn false and brittle as they made their excuses.

    “You have a lovely voice,” they said instead, as if they weren’t calling eroded gravel beautiful when their voice was the finest jade.

    It was far from a typical compliment, but Lan Zhan was so starved for praise his heart clenched in his chest.

    On the day of his father's funeral, Lan Zhan receives a box of letters from his long-missing mother. His quest to find her leads him to a spooky, kooky, and loving family who just might want him to stay forever. (And of course, to the man of his dreams).

    Summary

    Lan Zhan doesn’t think about him anymore.

    The days when he would obsess over every tiny work Wei Ying appeared in are long gone. His days of buying every magazine he was in, of taping his interviews and watching them over and over again just to get a piece of the real him, they’re all over. Lan Zhan doesn’t follow every project Wei Ying is a part of anymore, doesn’t try to find out if Wei Ying ever mentioned him anywhere, and doesn’t keep the TV on just in case he hears Wei Ying’s voice in a new commercial.

    He has weeks, and even months, when Wei Ying doesn’t even cross his mind at all. And when he does, it is only with a faded kind of fondness, a simmering affection to the memories they shared together.

    He’s happy for the things Wei Ying achieved. There is almost no hurt at all, almost no pain. And almost must be just as good as none.

    -

    Lan Zhan's world is turned upside down when his High School love, famous actor Wei Wuxian, comes back to their hometown after 13 years.
