    Summary

    It was Xue Shu’s desire to get rid of a perceived rival that led her to her current predicament. Sitting in the bridal chambers of the Xie manor, with a coronet that was digging into her forehead (her mother had insisted on lavishness to shush any whispers that this wedding might have occurred because of improprieties), waiting for Xie Wei.

    Waiting for Xie Wei to do what, she does not know. Consummate the marriage, she suppose. Not that he showed any carnal interest in her in their previous life. Not even when she all but offered herself on a platter.

    Summary

    They let some of their biggest truths sit unspoken between them. It was a kind of a game or an act of trust. I know who you are. And every time he came through for her, each leap of faith that paid off with interest, each time she raised her eyes to his and found them watching her -- assessing, caressing, surprised, knowing, wanting -- she found it harder and harder to wait the few short weeks to their wedding night.

    Summary

    Fan Changyu wants to have sex and her husband quite likes that idea.

    -

    “We could consummate our marriage.”

    He jolted. A physical, full-body thing. The hand which had been resting on the table between them swung wide and knocked his cup, splashing tea; he scrambled to save it before it hit the floor and shattered, and there was about three seconds of mad grabbing and clanging before Yan Zheng finally stabilised himself, setting the cup down with a faintly trembling hand. When he looked up, his face was a rosy pink beneath the candlelight, and little wisps of hair had escaped his topknot, falling loose over his cheeks. “What?”

    Summary

    She thought so cheaply of his affection, of his desires? When he’d so foolishly allowed himself a glimmer of hope that for once, someone would choose him?

    Fine.

    If he couldn’t have her free choice, he would make her see him in every meal enjoyed, in every cup of tea savoured. She would think of him when she wrote, when she played the qin, when she bathed, when she opened her eyes in the morning.

    He had not a moment of peace from her, and yet she saw so little of his worth, feared him like he was some sort of beast.

    Fine. It was fine. He would show her what he was capable of.

    He would make her crave him.

    Summary

    Jiang Xuening is a poor student and an unruly young woman. She offers nothing of value to Yan Lin, but dares to accept his regard anyway. Xie Wei is not pleased with their entanglement, and is pleased even less when she comes to him requesting special instruction with the offer of nebulous service in compensation.

    She doesn't mean what he gleans from her offer, but his own interpretation is superior. The service he demands from her will force her to part from Yan Lin, sparing his cousin the headache of an unworthy woman and a lifetime of strife. There are other benefits, of course. Actions with only a single benefit aren't worthwhile.

    Summary

    My stance on the matter is that A Splendid Match did have a perfect happy ending, one that matches the beginning of the show and the dramatic scale of the last few episodes.
    And yet, I do understand the desire for more, for a 'peace after the storm' and 'they lived happily ever after' closure. Since it was not given to us, I wrote one. Be gentle =)

    Summary

    In a dynasty shaped by the star that fell from heaven and forged the people of the world anew, Empress Jiang Xuening is driven to a dead end, but decides to live more authentically according to her instincts on her second chance. Someone else returns with her.

    Note: I don’t typically write or read omegaverse and have my own set of tropes I will be including (along with many I will be excluding). If you’re wondering what those are, check the A/N at the end of the first chapter.

    Summary

    The Xie Army in Pursuit of Jade is essentially a perfect case study in why you should never let your terrifyingly competent military commander fall in love.

    The drama spends plenty of time on stunning cinematography, political intrigue, and a seventeen-year blood feud. But the real entertainment comes from Xie Zheng’s inner circle: a group of elite soldiers, spies, strategists, and scouts who somehow end up operating less like a military unit and more like a deeply stressed family business dedicated to protecting one man’s chance in romance and a happy ending.

    When you compare what these people are trained to do versus what they actually spend their time doing, the results are spectacular.

    Summary

    Xie Wei POV. After his snow-sickness led to an unforgivable offense against Ning’er, she is put in danger yet again due to his negligence and captured by Pingnan-wang. But what will happen between them during weeks of capture in such close quarters?

    This is a continuation of sorts of the other one-shot “Tamed” but you don’t need to read that story to read this one, although you will miss out on some, uh, backstory. If you have no stomach for the tags in that one, you won’t have the same issue here.
