Summary: “We hear that His Excellency might be married by summer’s end,” the merchant’s wife says and Wei Wuxian freezes, his heart in his throat. “The Gusu Lan sect has been buying enough red silk and brocade that the merchants in Caiyi can’t satisfy the demand.”He feels himself grow brittle inside, like a flick of a finger to his temple might make him shatter. His ears are ringing.“Who’s the lucky bride?” he asks despite himself. His tongue sticks to the roof of his mouth.
Or: The story of a marriage.
Review: The truth is that I haven’t actually quite finished reading this fic yet, but I wanted it to be the first recommendation on this blog. I have fallen in love with it. I continue to be amazed with the amount and quality of such beautiful fics dedicated to this fandom. So far, I love the characterisation of Wei Ying; selfless, self-critical, oblivious, and so, so, so in love. I honestly can’t wait to get to the end, yet I really don’t want it to be over. Regardless, please give it a read! I will be back with an update once I’m finished. - Smeuse
