Summary
At sixteen Wei Wuxian is—through some strange twist of fate, or a nick in the layer between parallel universes, who knows—out of the blue confronted with that one incense burner dream one night.
While his curious mind is left unable to stop poking at this new perspective on Lan Wangji, circumstances in the Cloud Recesses begin to change and Wei Wuxian is suddenly presented with life-altering opportunities.
Maybe Gusu isn’t so bad after all?
(Or alternatively: The fic where I get to give Wei Wuxian the academic scholarship he deserves while simultaneously getting him hitched early on.)
This fic has a Spanish and a Portuguese translation! Please visit the links in the Notes of Chapter 1 to read!

Summary
Lan Zhan dies two years before canon and promptly wakes up in the library at Cloud Recesses right across from Wei Wuxian, napping facedown in a pile of copywork.
He has a lot of questions. Is this the afterlife? If it's not, then is he alone with his memories? And most importantly, what does he need to do to keep his soulmate alive this time?
Wei Ying did not stir as he knelt down by the desk. It had been so long since Lan Zhan had seen those beloved features and even longer since he’d been allowed to either get or stay this close to Wei Ying.
He looked so different from Lan Zhan’s memories; apple cheeked, clean, and relaxed.
Lan Zhan clamped both hands over his own mouth to stop the pained noise that threatened to escape him. Hot tears spilled down his face as he watched the young, safe, and whole boy sleep. His stomach cramped with the effort of holding the sound in, but he’d sooner die than wake Wei Ying up.

Summary
Wei Wuxian feels her blood run cold.
Yu-ayi’s right. He really is going to choose me, she thinks. Oh, no. Oh, good Heavens, no!
She nearly bursts into tears on the spot; but just as her eyelids begin to sting, she remembers what her aunt said only two minutes earlier and breathes a sigh of relief.
The moment Huangshang lays eyes on you, he will know what choice to make.
In that moment, Wei Wuxian realizes that she can only be certain of evading the Empress’s throne if she ensures that the emperor never lays eyes on her at all.
Or: in the second year of his reign, Emperor Lan Wangji yields to the wishes of his ministers and holds a bride selection to find his future empress.

Summary
When Lan Wangji came to the magistrate’s estate in Yunmeng, he found the aged manor house in a state of neglect.
The county was no longer what it used to be. Few people within its borders could truly be called wealthy; and with no diversions for rich men to be had within a day’s travel from the magistrate’s seat, a posting in Yunmeng had long been considered something of a punishment in the capital.
We grant Lan Wangji a fifteen years’ appointment at the magistrate’s office in Yunmeng, read the imperial decree bestowed to Lan Wangji last month. In this way, the Second Young Master Lan can serve the people in peace, in accordance with his temperament.
This did not come as a surprise, for Lan Wangji’s appointment—which he did not consider a punishment, in spite of the circumstances—had been granted in retribution for his brother’s betrayal of the Emperor.
In which Lan Wangji goes into exile, immerses himself in local tradition, and falls in love with a river god.
