    Summary

    Everyone has a soulmate mark, Satoru reads. Every human soul has a remaining half of it that completes it. There are several incidents described by the author of soulmates uniting with each other. It sounds so otherworldly how their union is described: the touch of bare skin on skin and a bright glow of the only splash of colour on the identical black marks.

    “There has existed no human soul thus far that lacked a soulmate mark. And there is doubt there ever will be one such in the future.”

    Satoru closes the book then and places it back on the shelf he found it in.

    Summary

    The best things that ever happened to Lan Qiren were brought to him in the middle of the night by women with perms. First, his nephews, stricken with grief at the death of their parents, then Wei Ying, brought by a harried babysitter when his parents disappeared.

    or

     

    There’s no time or space for grief or anything. He takes the children to buy black suits, he leaves them behind in the apartment, twelve-year-old A-Huan assuring him he’s old enough to be left alone with his brother, to go to their house and oversee it being packed up, the furniture sold, the personal effects of his brother and his wife put in storage.

     

    There’s no room for decisions or education. Only him sitting at his table with two children, eating in silence, only hearing A-Huan whispering to his brother in the middle of the night, only the three of them all tangled up together with grief and confusion and pain.

     

    And the certainty that he isn’t… that he won’t be a good parent.

    Even on reread the happy ending made me cry.

    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

    Nie Huaisang knows that things in this world are rarely story-shaped. That they're more akin to ink spilled on parchment - Messy and unpredictable and rather tragic. But out of all the threads he's woven throughout damn near a decade, he had not expected the most straightforward of his ploys to go this awry.

    He had not expected Wei-Xiong to end up here in Qinghe, half-drunk and too thin with no Lan Wangji in sight. Because it turns out that on his way to becoming the Chief Cultivator, the great Hanguang-Jun had left Wei-Xiong on the side of the road to walk alone in a world that most probably still wants him dead.

    What else could Huaisang have done other than bring Wei-Xiong home with him?
