Summary
‘Jiang Cheng. My husband.' Lan Xichen’s fingers pushed up through the hair at the nape of his neck. 'Please forgive me if I’m forward. If you wish to do only what’s needful and no more, then that is what we will do. But…the body has certain likings, that can be awakened with skill.'

Summary
If Jiang Cheng had known that his main use to his sect would eventually be as a marriage prospect, he might have spent more time learning the arts of love. But now he was bound to one person only. If he was going to please Lan Xichen as he deserved – without Lan Xichen teaching him every last skill he might like him to have – he would have to tutor himself.

Summary
‘They stripped me,’ Jiang Cheng said, ‘and made me lie down, and they tied my hands and feet. I’d never disrobed in front of anyone but my brother and sister before then, and I never have since. And then…they had the whip. One of them let it hang down so that I could see.’
He paused, looked down and away. For a moment his face almost seemed to soften.
‘I tried to be quiet,’ he said. ‘There was nothing else to do, after all. And for about three strokes, I was.’

Summary
‘…get away with stealing another sect’s lore…’ Jiang Cheng was saying. Jiang Yanli caught his words in snatches, indistinct. Then, more clearly, she heard Lan Xichen replying.
‘But still, to speak to poor Jin Zixun in such a manner.’ His tone was sharp. ‘Jiang Cheng, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.’
Jiang Yanli meets her brother for the first time since his marriage.

Summary
"Lan Xichen knew that love matches like Qingheng-Jun’s were rare – if that self-cannibalising passion could be called love. He had always been determined that his marriage would not be a prison, an obsession, a distraction, or any other kind of madness. He had never wanted to marry for love. And yet it seemed that some small, foolish part of him had hoped."

Summary
‘So – does this mean you’re going to be married then, if you accept?’ Wu Shimei asked, feeling a pang at the thought of the little world she’d so recently joined changing once again.
Jiang Cheng scoffed. ‘Certainly not. This means that they’re graciously agreeing to discuss the matter. There are a hundred and one details to be hammered out before a marriage can be contracted, and it’s a hundred to one odds we ever make it that far. First things first, we need to respond…with a present of our own…oh, damnation, what are we going to do about that?’
Jiang Cheng and his new disciple come up with a betrothal gift fit for Zewu-Jun.
