Summary
In all fairness, as much as his opinion of Wen Kexing has been as changing as the seasons, his uncanny ability to be an annoying nuisance has never flickered. He was annoying when he was staring down Ye Baiyi’s sword and he was annoying when he kneeled on the forest bed in apology and plea.
Surely, it’s no surprise that he is annoying now, allegedly dead.
And yet, Ye Baiyi had not anticipated this level of stupidity from him: the brat did not tell Qin Huaizhang’s disciple of his plan.
*
or, Ye Baiyi takes direct action and prevents a chain of disastrous events. All the while, he reminisces, fulfills some promises, and finds he's not in such a hurry to get to the Naihe Bridge.- Language:

Summary
Nobody said traveling through time would be easy — nothing Wen Kexing has done has ever been easy — but A-Xu was dying. He was going to die.
If Wen Kexing could not save his A-Xu in the life they shared together, he would save him elsewhere in the past. And then some other version of them could live on, while this A-Xu and this Wen Kexing would stop existing. Would become something that never existed at all. If Wen Kexing did this right, he would die one day after — and some twenty years earlier than — his husband.
Only, A-Xu died and Wen Kexing didn't stop existing.
(Only — maybe A-Xu didn't die.)

Summary
A generous allowance from his parents or Wei Wuxian in his life: Jiang Cheng would make the same choice a thousand times over, but his grad school stipend is barely enough to support himself, let alone the two of them. An arrangement with an older man might keep his head above water—if he doesn't wade in too deep.

Summary
The attraction between Nie Mingjue and Jiang Cheng is both easy and obvious, but that doesn’t mean that they get to act on it.
Or: Nie Mingjue and Jiang Cheng spend two decades balancing duty and desire.

Summary
Jiang Cheng does not have time to be a best man at Wei Wuxian's wedding. Not only does he have to run the family business all by himself, but he also has to raise his teenage nephew - a task that's starting to feel increasingly impossible.
The last thing he needs is to waste time planning Wei Wuxian's wedding. Especially when it means working with his stupidly attractive, insufferably nice fellow best man, Lan Xichen.
