    Summary

    The topic of Jiang Yanli’s marriage prospects came up while Jiang Yanli sat with her parents one morning, working on an embroidery project.

     

    “Acting Sect Leader Lan suggests that you might be a good match for Lan Huan, now called Xichen,” her mother said to Jiang Yanli. She looked consideringly at Jiang Yanli, who glanced up from her embroidery. A small smile touched her mother’s mouth. “It would be a good match. We will travel to Gusu and discuss this proposition. Make the arrangements.”

     

    Jiang Yanli’s engagement to Jin Zixuan never comes to fruition.

    Somehow, someway, she finds her way to true happiness regardless.

    Summary

    A modern OC arrives in Yiling before the start of the Sunshot Campaign. She has no friends, no money, and no cultivation. She knows what's coming, but what could she possibly do about it?
    ***
    “Well…” I looked down at my fingernails and tried not to squirm. “If there were a way to separate Wei Wuxian from Madam Yu without ruining his relationship with his siblings, I’d encourage it. Like, as an example, marriage.”

    Xichen blinked. “To you?”

    “No. Absolutely not. What even—?” The thought was so abhorrent I couldn’t hold it in my head. My brain spat it right back out. “To your brother.”

    Xichen blinked. Again. “To Wangji?”

    “Obviously?”

    “This is a concern of yours?”

    “I realize it’s not my business at all,” I admitted. “But you asked.”

    Summary

    “This… this would qualify as a mental breakdown, right?” Triton asked, frowning over his shoulder to where Percy was still fuming in the corner. The lady at the counter curiously glanced over before lifting a questioning brow. “My brother – half-brother, technically, I have much better breeding – decided to run away from home to where our father can’t reach him and now he won’t leave. And now I can’t leave unless he leaves,” Triton continued. Percy opened his mouth to object that wasn’t what happened at all, but the tyrant only waved a hand to silence him. “He’s seen war or whatever, so if you could maybe just drug him then I’ll throw him into a suitcase and we can be out of here by the Summer Solstice!”

    Silence. Finally, the woman cleared her throat and turned to Percy.

    “I’m guessing he’s the one you want checked into the mental hospital?” She asked. Triton gasped as Percy punched the air in victory.

    “Aha!”

    Or

    Getting in trouble works a little differently when your parent is an all-powerful god. Sometimes you have to escape to the land beyond gods and get your immortal brother turned human to drag you back so you can be exploded a million pieces. You know, normal teenage stuff.

    Summary

    “Hm, I seem to have taken both keys when I left the house. Heh, oh well.”

    Immediately, a lone doorknob appears in Al-Haitham’s hand.

    “I’m surprised he didn’t fly off the handle and send the whole door through,” Cyno blithely comments.
