Summary: It all started from a game, and ended in such a spectacular, but bewildering, event! Gusu, Cloud Recesses. "S-sect leader Lan...? W-what... what happened?!" the junior disciples of the GusuLan Sect asked in a panic seeing their sect leader, the honorable Zewu-jun frowning so early in the morning! Did he wake up in the wrong side of the bed?! (Gray Dragon: No. He woke up in a WRONG body while lying on the bed.) Lan Qiren. "..." Xichen, if you encountered difficulties, we are just here for you! So tell me why do you have such a big frown on your usually smiling face! It ruins the good looks we've inherited from our ancestors! Lan Wangji. "..." why... do I suddenly feel a chill on my back? This is an inexplicable phenomenon. I have to find Wei Ying. (Gray Dragon: no, Wangji. You're just FINDing an excuse to look for your husband.) Meanwhile, in the Lotus Pier. "Ah! Our sect leader was smiling!" a disciple exclaimed with a refreshed smile on his face. "Our sect leader is frowning no more! This is a good sign we'll have a good year!" another one said. (Gray Dragon: no. This is a sign that there is a GOOD-natured soul inside his body.) Jin Ling. "..." why... do I suddenly feel a bad omen is coming? Wei Wuxian. "... Zewu-jun?" Only Wei Wuxian got it right.

Summary: Lan Xichen felt like there's lacking in his life. After both his sworn brothers died, he realized. He needed a partner, someone to spend the rest of his life with. He had always been with his sworn brothers, and so he didn't notice. Even if Jin Guangyao, the best candidate to be a partner, is there in front of him, yet he still didn't realize. After he lost his sworn brothers, he knew of the word 'loneliness'. However, when he finally noticed the person who had always been there but he never saw, he realized how blind he had been. He had taken for granted that person's presence. After that meeting with Jiang Cheng, Lan Xichen finally knew the word 'love'. The love that he always sees on his brother and Wei Wuxian, yet never really understood. This time, when he saw Jiang Cheng standing tall among the sea of people, he realized. His long asleep heart that always wanted to help people can't help but to beat for him. The man he always thought as a stranger, he never knew he wanted to be his partner now. However, as he had said, they are strangers to each other. Even now that they are brothers-in-law because of Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian's marriage, they didn't have something common between them. Can Lan Xichen overcome this obstacle between him and Jiang Cheng? How will he obtain Jiang Cheng - this 'stranger'? (A/N: just as I finished the Name, this popped up in my brain. It's because I reread the Refuse when one reader commented and I read it along the way. But, I think this ff will be the most realistic for me XD you'll see once you read this ^_^) P.S.: sassy Jiang Cheng is back! Yep, because of the readers' request on Refuse. I just hope I won't disappoint you, though. xD) Credits to the zerochan for the fanart! https://www.zerochan.net/2434439
