    Summary

    Lan Wangji hopes, somewhat frivolously, that his betrothed might find him an acceptable companion. Neither he nor Wei Wuxian are able to bear children, so there will be no need to share a marital bed; that should make it easier for the two of them to reach a natural, comfortable equilibrium.

    Two strings played in harmony: this is Lan Wangji’s quiet hope, as he arranges the Jingshi to accommodate a second inhabitant. Perhaps, he thinks, they might even become friends.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian doesn’t hear his brother kick open the door through the ringing in his ears. It isn’t until he raises his hanging head, squinting through his swollen eye, that he sees Jiang Cheng framed in the doorway with Zidian crackling on his finger. Zidian shifts the atmosphere of the entire restaurant, and the sharp smell of ozone makes Wei Wuxian flinch involuntarily -- the last time he smelled it, his entire back was numb, so useless he could barely walk, and Jiang Cheng hasn’t been able to use it until now. Relief and fear shoot through him in equal measure; this means the surgery took. It also means Jiang Cheng did not take his advice about being careful next time.
    .
    Fortunately, Jiang Cheng rescues Wei Wuxian before he can be thrown into the Burial Mounds. Unfortunately, that means no Yiling Patriarch. Everything changes.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan is six years old.

    He lost a baby tooth three weeks ago, his favorite toy is a plush rabbit named Didi, and he makes his bed every morning when he wakes up. Mother used to tuck him in at night after putting Lan Huan to bed. She’d come into his room with a storybook in hand and read to him until his eyes drooped, her warm voice and gentle smile lulling him to sleep. He misses her comforting smell, like cookies.
    He doesn’t know why she went away, and when Lan Huan explains it doesn’t make sense. He says Mother is gone and she still loves them very much, but they can’t see her again. Lan Zhan tries to understand, he waits outside her bedroom door in the east wing of their home, but she never opens the door. He tries to enter the attic where Father sent her, but he can’t reach the top rung of the pull down ladder, and Lan Huan shakes his head when he asks for his brother’s help.
    She can’t come down, A-Zhan, Father said we’re not allowed.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji could not hope to find any other person like this, at least not so far from their home. But wu speak to birds and beasts across the realm. He may be known to them. He may be recognized, somewhere. The ravens and the hawks hear the name and cry it to the skies; the mouse and the fox both carry it with them through snow-washed fields. Below ground the beetles gnaw it into roots and bark. Wei Ying. Wei Wuxian.

    OR: Tasked with finding the Yunmeng Jiang's missing wu, a young man called Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji recruits a familiar and travels across the land in search of him. His familiar, a black hare with a little too much personality, seems to have his own secrets.
