Summary
Lan Zhan's mother wore Qingheng-jun’s pearl around her neck, as big as Lan Zhan’s small fist; he stared up at it. Tints of gold shimmered in its surface, the same gold as Lan Zhan’s father’s eyes, his father’s qi. But despite the warm colors it still appeared cold to him, fastened around her neck with a chain. He touched his own smaller, paler pearl that rested in the hollow of his throat.

Lan Wangji always watches Jiang Wanyin with rapt attention. So he sees the moment of startled joy when Wanyin opens the small silver-inlaid box and realizes what it contains, the warmth that brightens his eyes. He sees when that brightness dims.
Jiang Wanyin closes the box and holds it back out to him. “Wangji,” he says, “I can’t take this from you.”

Summary
“Lan Wangji!” Jiang Wanyin shouts, yanking at Lan Wangji’s mane to get his attention. “Hanguang-jun! They’ll see you! Change back!”
But Lan Wangji does not want to keep his other form a secret anymore. During the war, and with Wei Ying, Lan Wangji had held back and held back and held back. Like a proper Lan, he caged his anger and sheathed his claws, and when at last he revealed himself in defense of Wei Ying, he turned only on his own kin in a clash of scales and swords. Now, he will not hesitate. This is not the man Lan Wangji loves, not the man he failed—yet Jiang Wanyin is still Lan Wangji’s, and Lan Wangji wants the whole world to know that his husband is protected by razored teeth and freezing scales, guarded so fiercely that no one would even dream of harming him again.
