Summary
Lan Zhan doesn’t know how he feels about the fact that he’s graduated to the ‘teen table’. He’s not even sure he knew it existed. It always seemed to be all grown ups except for the babies’ table before. Still. This is a Jin family event, and the Jins are always the most lavish, and also somehow never get the old traditions quite right. Lan Zhan knows from Uncle that they’re too showy, not refined. He’s never said so, but he can just see it by his face. And now there is a teen table and Lan Zhan is a teen.
He stares at the seating plan and then looks up at Lan Huan. He’s trying to stop his eyes widening, but Lan Huan always knows how he feels. He takes him by the hand as they go and find their table, and Lan Zhan can’t help but squeeze it back tightly. They arrive at a similar time to the other teenagers, all vaguely familiar. Lan Zhan thinks he recognises Jiangs, Nies, a Wen. There’s some awkward shuffling and bumping as they find their places. Lan Zhan is struck with horror when he realises he’s on the opposite side of the table from Lan Huan, but relieved that the spot next to him seems to be empty.
There is *literally* no prize for guessing who’s in the empty seat.

Summary
Xie Lian lowered his eyes. “My Lord, might this one ask what happened to Bai Wuxiang?”
“He seemed to be giving you some trouble, so I destroyed him. Think of it as a gift for your ascension.”
Xie Lian opened his mouth, prepared to thank Jun Wu, when the Emperor carried on.
“I also dealt with his servant.”

Xie Lian held up the flyer, and squinted at it through the eye-holes of his mask. Beneath the words ‘Join the Selection! Be the Ghost King’s Bride!’ the sweeping eaves rendered in wobbly black ink matched the silhouette of the building in the distance. Paradise Manor. The Ghost King’s home.

Summary
After getting lost in Ghost City, Xie Lian bargains away years of servitude to the Gambler’s Den to help a man in need. He dons the robes of a worker and hides his face and life behind an enchanted mask, protecting himself from the city's denizens. Xie Lian finds an unexpected home in Ghost City before he ever sees the lord of it, the infamous Hua Cheng. When he finally does, something about himself seems to catch the attention of the Ghost King, slowly striking up an unusual friendship. Xie Lian must figure out how to navigate his burgeoning feelings, how to keep his identity to himself, and how to get over a ghost so clearly in love with someone else.

Summary
And then Wei Ying straightened, something terribly apologetic, almost frail in his eyes – and before he said the words, Lan Wangji already knew what the answer would be. Suddenly, the day that had so far felt very warm turned cold for him.
He would have held up his hand, but something was keeping him frozen in place. The realization, perhaps, that he would not get those words back now. That he’d put them out, careless like a child, and just as fragile when facing the realities of the world.
Wei Ying bowed to him, so respectful that it made Lan Wangji taste iron on his tongue. “I’m very honored, that Lan Zhan would hold me in such high regard, but – I don’t like men like that, so –“

Summary
“So, what is Poor-gege doing here?”
Lan Jingyi almost smacks into the ground with the way he trips over his feet.
“Uhm—! Excuse me?? Poor!”
“Stop being so clumsy, Poor-gege,” A-Yuan huffs as he impatiently tugs at Jingyi’s hand.
Lan Jingyi relents himself to being dragged again, however not without narrowing his eyes at the little boy.
“Just because I’m not your Rich-gege doesn’t mean I’m poor,” he mumbles under his breath.
A-Yuan gives a shrug and hums noncommittally,
“If Poor-gege says so.”

Summary
The Lans were one of the founding families of the Vancouver Guild; part of their legacy is to maintain their place in it for the benefit of all. Cultivation is important, essential, serious.
In the distance, something squeaks.
A disaster, is Lan Zhan’s first impression as the bike squeals to a halt on the far side of Song Lan’s car. The man riding it – and he’s tall, and lanky, and sure-footed – hops off and locks it to the car’s back door. The back door of a police vehicle. He pulls his helmet off to reveal long, sweat-soaked hair with a shaggy undercut, bright grey eyes, and a smile that launches like an arrow straight through Lan Zhan’s chest.
No, he thinks, watching this trainwreck of a man shimmy between the narrow space dividing Song Lan’s back bumper and the next car’s hood like he’s doing some kind of dance step. Absolutely not.

Summary
"Truth was, Jiang Cheng would rather face a thousand battles than one humiliating moment of disapproval if he knew he was in the wrong. Right now he was wrong in so many directions, he was trapped like a fly in the spider’s web of his own pride. And so, true to form, he churned inwardly… and did nothing. But he did nothing with a lot of energy and frustration."
Jiang Cheng pisses off the cultivating world when he writes a treatise on exactly what went wrong in the Sunshot Campaign.

Or: Wei Wuxian encounters an unexpected barrier to marital bliss: the need to provide a dowry to marry into the Lan clan.

Look, Wei Ying just wants to get to his sister's condo building early enough to beat that asshole in the white SUV to the only guest parking spot.
Too bad it turns out the guy is super, super hot and it raises the stakes a bit.

Wen Ruohan is dead. The Sunshot Campaign is over. The Tiger Tally was blown apart—and so was Wei Wuxian’s body.
As he slowly pieces himself back together, he has to also figure out the dark secrets hiding behind polite smiles, bright white robes, and thousands of rules.
Luckily, he’s no longer alone.

This will probably make absolutely no sense whatsoever if you haven't read the previous parts.

Wei Wuxian needs to get more exercise.
At least, that's what Wen Qing tells him after his blood pressure reaches "accidental head injury from dizziness" levels.
He agrees, with the intention that "working out" means a few lazy pool laps and then a stint in the sauna.
That is, until he's given the grand tour of the gym by Lan Wangji, personal trainer and professional sexy man.
“I’d like to join the gym. Is there a deal for a personal training package?”

Summary
“I’m not here to help you with your work,” said Lan Zhan, injecting frost into his voice to deter any further attempts at charm. “I’ll be focusing on my research.”
Wei Ying cocked his head. “Research?” he said.
“Mm. I’m a cultivation researcher, not a department employee. I’m reconstructing the ancient musical cultivation techniques of the Lan clan.”
___
Lan Zhan’s new liaison at the Caiyi Municipal Cultivation Department is an enigma – ridiculously talented, yet somehow content with mopping up spiritual pests for barely above minimum wage. Wei Ying is slapdash and irresponsible, and Lan Zhan doesn’t like him at all… but then he meets A-Yuan, who loves music and longs for a piano his father can’t afford.
Forced into cautious friendship by a four-year-old's music lessons, Lan Zhan soon realises Wei Ying is more than he seems. The single father is a man of many secrets – including, perhaps, the key to Lan Zhan's life's work. And in the meantime, the background resentment in Caiyi Town is rising to dangerous levels…

Summary
When someone falls in love, their loved one's scars appear on them.
Wei Wuxian isn't certain that anyone will ever think taking his scars would be worth it.
The Lan Clan has an ugly history associated with lovescars, and Lan Wangji has only ever heard about them in the context of the family curse.
There are no scars related to platonic love. For some, this makes romantic love look more painful by comparison; for others, it only makes it harder for them to express their love for their family.

Summary
Lan Wangji did not know how to conceal his interest, so he did not. He was sure that Wei-gongzi knew, his cheeks flushing, words stumbling whenever he caught the intensity of Lan Wangji's gaze.
Lan Wangji meets Yunmeng Jiang's Wei-gongzi during a nighthunt. Even if he had no interest in the cultivation competitions, Lan Wangji should have met Wei-gongzi during Gusu Lan's guest lectures earlier, or at least heard of his capabilities. The both of them travel together for a month, and Lan Wangji becomes sure that the kind, brave, and intelligent Wei Ze is his life's cultivation partner.
