    Summary

    Look, it wasn’t like Wei Ying meant to get so deep into the lie.

    He'd started out by simply saying ‘sorry, I’m taken’ when anyone asked him out.

    He hadn’t really been expecting to have to answer follow up questions from his co-workers like: ‘Is it serious? What do they do for work? Do they live in town? How did you meet? What are they like?’

    Wei Ying did not have a great memory for things outside of engineering and product design, so there was absolutely no way he was going to be able to keep his story straight if he really just made everything up.

    He'd just needed a… a mental model of what a potential partner for him could be like. So his brain had pulled up the memory of a guy in college that he'd always vaguely thought that—if he ever did settle down with someone—it would be like him.

    He possibly didn’t realize just how far things had snowballed until one day when one of his colleagues said:

    “Hey! I was talking to my cousin the other day and she actually knows your husband. Small world right?”

    Summary

    “I’m not here to help you with your work,” said Lan Zhan, injecting frost into his voice to deter any further attempts at charm. “I’ll be focusing on my research.”

     

    Wei Ying cocked his head. “Research?” he said.

     

    “Mm. I’m a cultivation researcher, not a department employee. I’m reconstructing the ancient musical cultivation techniques of the Lan clan.”

     

    ___

    Lan Zhan’s new liaison at the Caiyi Municipal Cultivation Department is an enigma – ridiculously talented, yet somehow content with mopping up spiritual pests for barely above minimum wage. Wei Ying is slapdash and irresponsible, and Lan Zhan doesn’t like him at all… but then he meets A-Yuan, who loves music and longs for a piano his father can’t afford.

    Forced into cautious friendship by a four-year-old's music lessons, Lan Zhan soon realises Wei Ying is more than he seems. The single father is a man of many secrets – including, perhaps, the key to Lan Zhan's life's work. And in the meantime, the background resentment in Caiyi Town is rising to dangerous levels…

    Summary

    The one where Yu Ziyuan time traveled but she thought that it was her visions of her alternate life.

    She learned that there is a brat named Wei Ying who brought destruction to her and her family's life.

    And so in her present, she vowed that she will never allow that to happen.

     

    In which Yu Ziyuan found the four-year-old Wei Ying, newly pushed out of the inn where his parents left him, and decided that no, this child must never be associated with her, her family, and their sect at all.

    And so Yu Ziyuan thought that she could bring him somewhere where someone may or may not find him but definitely far from where her husband could find him. If he's lucky, he'll survive that winter, if he's not, then death awaits the fevered child.

    This is the extent of mercy that Yu Ziyuan could give a child.

    With this, she'll raise her children without having to deal with a brat that brings trouble where he goes according to her visions of her alternate life.

    Like the tag stated, this is definitely not Yu Ziyuan centric.
