Summary
Nobody said traveling through time would be easy — nothing Wen Kexing has done has ever been easy — but A-Xu was dying. He was going to die.
If Wen Kexing could not save his A-Xu in the life they shared together, he would save him elsewhere in the past. And then some other version of them could live on, while this A-Xu and this Wen Kexing would stop existing. Would become something that never existed at all. If Wen Kexing did this right, he would die one day after — and some twenty years earlier than — his husband.
Only, A-Xu died and Wen Kexing didn't stop existing.
(Only — maybe A-Xu didn't die.)

Summary
A generous allowance from his parents or Wei Wuxian in his life: Jiang Cheng would make the same choice a thousand times over, but his grad school stipend is barely enough to support himself, let alone the two of them. An arrangement with an older man might keep his head above water—if he doesn't wade in too deep.

Summary
The attraction between Nie Mingjue and Jiang Cheng is both easy and obvious, but that doesn’t mean that they get to act on it.

Summary
Jiang Cheng does not have time to be a best man at Wei Wuxian's wedding. Not only does he have to run the family business all by himself, but he also has to raise his teenage nephew - a task that's starting to feel increasingly impossible.
The last thing he needs is to waste time planning Wei Wuxian's wedding. Especially when it means working with his stupidly attractive, insufferably nice fellow best man, Lan Xichen.

Summary
After the debacle of the Guanyin temple in Yunping, Jiang Cheng assumed Wei Wuxian would just keep on— well. Being Wei Wuxian. Crashing through everyone’s lives like a boat being rowed by two oarsmen at cross-purposes.
