Wei Wuxian smiles at the bright laughter of the once-children in the cold springs of Cloud Recesses. Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi, now fully grown adults, still behave like the bratty (LJY’s part) teenagers when he first met them all those years ago.
There used to be four.
Now there are only two.
Wei Wuxian’s eyes still sometimes wander amongst the white and blue shades for a glint of gold, a colour so gaudy he usually scoffs at it.
Jin Ling hasn’t joined his friends in Cloud Recesses ever since…
Wei Wuxian sighs, leaning back on his hands as he looks up at the clear blue skies.
Resentment no longer fill his body, he feels lighter than ever before, like when he was Yunmeng Jiang, Wei Wuxian, before—everything.
LWJ is pleased, Wei Wuxian knows. That he was not using demonic cultivation anymore. Wei Wuxian tells him that he wants to leave that part of his life behind. Demonic cultivation took away so many things precious to him.
“Good,” LWJ had said, a small smile on his face.
What Wei Wuxian doesn’t tell him is that Chen Qing no longer responds to him.
Wei Wuxian remembers when he was sitting on the roof of the Jingshi, playing a tune mindlessly on the flute when the melody splutters midway and only silent air flows out of the once beautiful
instrument.
Wei Wuxian blinked his eyes in shock, surely Chen Qing was not…malfunctioning? But it has been five years since, and never did Chen Qing make a sound ever again.
He stops carrying it on his waist, and waves away people’s queries with a cheerful laugh.
How ironic.
Deep down inside, Wei Wuxian knows. Knows why Chen Qing would no longer answer her master’s call.
5 years ago, Sect Leader Jiang Wanyin passed away in Lotus Pier—reasons unknown, never shared to the rest of the world by YMJ.
Why would Chen Qing respond to a master who no longer has a reason to use her?

In the Burial Mounds:
“I need power. I need to get back. Jiang Cheng—I need to get back to Jiang Cheng. Chen Qing, give me strength! We are getting out of here!” WWX grits his teeth as he claws
out of the death pit.
He has a promise to fulfil. Jiang Cheng, shixiong is coming. Wait for me! Yunmeng Shuangjie will never fall!
Even in the darkness and stench of resentful aura, his eyes shone bright with determination.
He was going home.

When Jiang Cheng first sees him in the crowd, he doesn’t pay much notice. Just another insignificant human amongst the sea of others.
He knows about him, having been informed by the club manager about a group of friends having a bachelor’s
Of course he knows the face of the man of the night.
Jiang Cheng performs as he always does, providing lip service and teasing to the viewers, and of course, he does the same to the soon-to-be-wed.
Their first encounter was nothing memorable nor special to Jiang Cheng.
So he really never expects what was to come.

Bumping into Wei Wuxian, who should be off having a lovely honeymoon in his newlywed life, on the day of his supposed marriage was unexpected.
The sight of that lithe body spinning around that thin pole that should never be able to hold a human body up in the air so effortlessly like this has Wei Wuxian drooling unconsciously.
He’s at his bachelor’s party, celebrating his last night as
Yet in this very moment, ten seconds before the clock strikes twelve, he meets someone who takes his breath away—Wei Wuxian cannot even remember what he’s supposed to be doing the next day, let alone his soon-to-be husband.
Wei Wuxian only knows one thing.
He wants to know who the dancer is, to know his name, his birthday, his favourite colours, his favourite food, the things he likes, the things he hates—/everything/.

Divorced chengxian modern AU who have shared custody over JL and JL stays with JC on the weekdays and WWX on the weekends. The arrangement works fine for a couple of years, WWX often subtly asking questions about how JC is doing to learn about
JC via JL and vice versa, but JC is more blunt and fierce with it—asking JL whether WWX’s house is a pigsty, did he make sure JL’s room was clean from dust? JL cannot afford to be sick!
One day, when JL is around 8 years old, he goes over to WWX’s as per normal but
there is another man in WWX’s house—whom WWX introduces to JL all cheery as his new BF, LWJ.
JL immediately turns on the waterworks and throws a tantrum about how he doesn’t want to stay with WWX and wants to go home.
What if WWX dies not long after GYT? Chengxian never reconciled.
LWJ meets a god that says he can help him with WWX’s regrets—WWX died with a lot of regrets in his heart and his soul would not be able to reincarnate this way. LWJ takes the offer and the god sends him
back in time with all his memories.
LWJ first hurries to pick WWX up from the streets, thinking that he has to save WWX from YMJ. WWX must come to GSL with him. It’s the only way to save WWX from his childhood sorrows (LWJ firmly believes in Cinderella WWX)
He takes WWX in. Keeps him in his room. Treats him specially. No one is allowed to get close to WWX without LWJ’s approval. He breaks all sorts of rules for WWX.
Because LWJ has his previous memories, he advances in his cultivation quicker than his past life—hailed to be a
LWJ has a great plan. Everything is meticulously prepared without a single chance for error.
Today is the day, he will finally propose to Wei Ying.
A beautiful bouquet of flowers in his hands he arrives at the appointed destination.
LWJ comes to a still.
Wei Wuxian is seated where LWJ prepared. At the floating pavilion surrounded by thousands of lotus-shaped lanterns bobbing on the surface of the lake.
He isn’t alone.
Jiang Wanyin is on Wei Ying’s lap, his arms around Wei Ying’s neck, their faces too close to each other for LWJ’s liking. Wei Ying supports Jiang Wanyin by the waist, keeping him from falling.
