Summary:
“Young Master Wèi,” the healer tells him, “I’m afraid to say that you’ve been cursed.”
He laughs, it’s not exactly the first time that has happened, “Is that it? What kind of curse is it?”
“It’s a lover’s curse.”
“A lover’s curse? That’s ridiculous! It’s not like I’ve ever...” He falters a bit, “I mean, I don’t see how that could apply to me.”
The look she gives him is pitying, “It’s not that kind of lover’s curse, Young Master Wèi. This curse… It only affects people who suffer from one-sided love.”

Summary:
Wei Wuxian had successfully gotten under his skin -- quite literally this time.
Lan Wangji tried to reason with his own emotions, but the presence of the flower inside him was not one to be questioned. With each breath, he could feel the petals tickle his windpipe, could taste their pollen on his tongue, as if saying they were quite real and here to stay.

Summary:
“You know what you have to do, don’t you?”
“Let go.” That was the answer that he had to give, what the flowers even symbolized. He had to get the surgery and let go of Wei Ying forever.
Lan Zhan shook his head. “I can’t,” he barely whispered, getting up from his brother’s embrace and turning towards the door. He left behind the two daffodil petals.

Summary:
“I’m starting to feel,” says Lan Xichen, “that this was a counterproductive suggestion. “Wei Wuxian looks down onto the pristine, tranquil cold springs of the Cloud Recesses. Sitting in the water, their bare shoulders rising like dumplings carefully spaced in a steaming-basket, are a large number of Lan disciples. "They seem to be doing better,” he says, encouragingly. “If they–oh, no, I see what you mean.” At the near bank, someone has pressed someone else against the rocks and is kissing them frantically.
