Author’s summary:

 

“We hear that His Excellency might be married by summer’s end,” the merchant’s wife says and Wei Wuxian freezes, his heart in his throat. “The Gusu Lan sect has been buying enough red silk and brocade that the merchants in Caiyi can’t satisfy the demand.”

 

He feels himself grow brittle inside, like a flick of a finger to his temple might make him shatter. His ears are ringing.

 

“Who’s the lucky bride?” he asks despite himself. His tongue sticks to the roof of his mouth.

 

Or: The story of a marriage.

My notes:

 

This is a beautifully written continuation to the canon, and the latter parts of the series are equally good.
