Summary:
The Yiling Patriarch hummed. "You would like some of my plants?" he asked.
A rhetorical question, of course. Lan Wangji gave him a small nod.
"I would," he said.
"I see!" The Patriarch's thumb brushed against the edge of Lan Wangji's jaw. His fingers curved around the back of Lan Wangji's neck. "But surely you are willing to pay for what you've stolen."
Lan Wangji resisted the urge to moisten his lips, but he allowed himself to swallow. The Patriarch's eyes locked onto his throat.
"What does the Patriarch ask as payment?"
(In which Wei Ying is Tam Lin, Lan Zhan is Janet, and they must both fight their way to freedom.)

Comments:
LWJ meets Yiling Laozu and they have sex, after which YL tells LWJ to never return again. LWJ doesn’t listen to him and months later returns anyway. He starts to discover more and more facts about his husband including the fact that he got thrown into the Burial Mounds as a child but he managed to bring the the dark powers under his control. He also doesn’t remember his name or much else. LWJ wants YL to break the link between himself and the resentful energy because they are interconnected. WWX, can finally leave the Burial Mounds now freely. This makes for an interesting and fascinating read.
