Summary: “Your input is irrelevant. Hanguang-Jun left you in our custody,” Su Minshan sneered.
Wei Wuxian’s lips twisted into a dark smile.
“The honorable Hanguang-Jun lost the right to his custody of me when he broke the oath we made to protect each other from harm in our wedding contract,” Wei Wuxian said.
He ignored the in-drawn breath of the crowd who had gathered on the street to watch the public whipping and continued.
“You agreed that—if I accepted the punishment—I would owe nothing more to GusuLan and the Jiang would not be blamed. My marriage is ended, so GusuLan no longer has authority over me. I won't surrender myself willingly to a group who claims righteousness, yet punishes without trial, without investigation, and without a chance for the victim to speak.”
Wei Wuxian might have been the 'bride' in this arranged marriage, but the group around him had forgotten that he was Hanguang-Jun’s equal in terms of power.
The honor guard of eight Lan disciples was no match for him, even while wounded.
Kay's comments: This setting is so fascinating! The sects are completely isolated from each other. It's omegaverse. Omegas are very rare and coveted because they can bring Alpha children and of course, Wei Wuxian is a rare and strong omega and then there's the teaser in the summary!! Very curious to see where this story might go.
Excerpt: Wen Chao was glaring at Wei Wuxian, but didn’t feel brave enough to go against his brother. With a nearly audible clenching of his teeth, he turned and left, signalling to his followers to accompany him. Many of the others left as well at the sound of the horn, worried about what had happened. Only Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng stayed.
“You’re an omega,” Wen Xu said, ignoring everyone aside from Wei Wuxian. From the corner of his eye, Wei Wuxian saw Lan Wangji stiffen, but he didn't dare take his eyes from Wen Xu. "It's too bad my father didn't know sooner."
Wen Xu reached into his pocket, took out a small vial and tossed it to Wei Wuxian.
"What's this?" Wei Wuxian asked, catching the vial more on instinct than thought.
"Antidote. Chao-er usually poison's his weapons. It's the only way he can get any kills," Wen Xu said with a shrug.
"How do we know this is antidote, and isn't actually poison?" Jiang Cheng snapped, reaching over to try to grab the vial out of Wei Wuxian's hand.
Wei Wuxian kept the vial in his grip. He'd seen Wen Xu once on a hunt, and seen enough to know that—if Wen Xu wanted him dead—he would take a much more direct route. He had no need for poison, but having a sample of antidote for the poison that the Wen used in their weapons could be extremely useful. Especially if the political discussions just broke down to the extent that the Hunt was cancelled.
