    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

    Wei Wuxian makes a wish he didn't intend; Lan Wangji creates a path forward.

    ___

    The form flickers, letting curls of smoke form something like a smile, and responds, “What is it you want, patriarch?”

    And Wei Wuxian, incautious at the wrong (the right) moment, says “A way to fix all of it.”

    He hears the reply: “As you wish.”

    He knows he’s made a mistake the second the form disperses, moving too fast and in too many directions to be called back and subdued.

    ___

    Only a few hours later, in Koi Tower, a visiting handmaid finds her madam crying over rumors about her daughter’s marriage.

    Summary

    “You know, you’re exactly my type!” Wei Ying playfully teased, pinching the mummified corpse’s cheek. “If you were still alive, I’d definitely marry you.”

    Slumbering eyes snapped wide open then and there, revealing a pair of piercing golden orbs—now vividly alive. A hand shot out from the coffin, possessively encircling Wei Ying’s wrist.

    “I have heard your proposal,” came a voice, both gentle and commanding. “And I accept.”

    Or, Wei Ying accidentally awakens a thousand-year-old mummified emperor and his ancient race. This is how he reaps the consequences.
