The Substitute

Wei Wuxian dresses up as Jiang Yanli during her wedding to Lan Jingyi, to avoid the embarassment of a missing bride because Jiang Yanli has eloped with Jin Zixuan. Wei Wuxian, twenty years old, the Jiang adopted son gets married into the Lan family. The twist- Lan Jingyi, Lan Xichen's son, disappeared the morning of the wedding, a preplanned move to ensure that Lan Wangji, now in his forties, has to step in to marry Jiang Yanli, barely twenty five, to save the Lan family pride. Lan Wangji has been living abroad for over twenty years, for longer than Wei Wuxian's lifetime. Lan Wangji resigns himself to marry someone who was supposed to be his niece in law. But as the doors to the bridal chamber closes, he has to buckle up the courage to reveal the real reason for his bachelorhood and even before Wei Wuxian has time to remove the veil and admit to the duplicity, Lan Wangji blurts out that he is not into women.

This isn't really a new story. It's just that I have been sick and the antibiotics won't let me sleep. So I am whiling away my late hours. This has nothing to do with my regular updates.
