In a world where Madame Yu never died and the Yunmeng Jiang Sect remains one of the top leading Sects, Jiang Cheng finds himself under relentless scrutiny-not from his enemies, but from his own mother. Upon learning that Wei Wuxian is now happily married to Lan Wangji, the Second Jade of Lan, Madame Yu sets her sights on a new goal: securing her son a marriage with the First Jade of Lan, Lan Xichen. To Madame Yu, this isn't love-this is war. A war of status, legacy, and revenge served with high tea and well-aimed barbs. Madame Yu is determined to make her son "number one" even if she has to drag him by the ear to Gusu. Jiang Cheng, however, is less than enthusiastic. Caught between the weight of his mother's ambition and his own unresolved feelings about love, loyalty, and legacy, he finds himself on an unexpected journey through awkward meetings, uncomfortable banquets, and slow-burning tension with the famously reserved Lan Xichen.

Lan Qiren was an overworked history professor who quite literally worked himself to death only to awaken inside the very history book he'd been studying: The Downfall Of The Qishan Wen Clan. He had transmigrated to a time when cultivation still existed, when Wen Ruohan had not yet become a tyrant and, most importantly, into the body of none other than Lan Qiren himself. Adhering strictly to the rules of the cultivation world, Lan Qiren lived quietly until, in one night hunt, a strange system suddenly appeared in his mind, claiming it could return him to the modern world. Seizing the chance, he punches the heir of the Wen Clan mid-battle while the other was preoccupied as a way of letting him pay for the future atrocities. But when the system failed to transport him back, he found himself face-to-face with a strangely composed Wen Ruohan and his unreadable expression, his eyes far too calm. Now, with no clear way out and a future tyrant watching his every move, Lan Qiren must ask himself: can he escape this dangerous situation... or has he already been caught?
