Fics like No More Puppets; No More Masters

“Thank you, Lan-daren.” It reminds Lan Jue, oddly, of the zongzi. There had been so many young men clamouring for his attention, his patronage – each of them more lavish and overinflated in his expectations than the last. Zhang Ping had arrived with a basket of zongzi simply as a thank you, nothing more. The sincerity had been almost aching. Lan Jue feels that now, as Zhang Ping thanks him. It makes something flutter in his stomach, a sensation like flower petals buffeted by the wind. OR: Three years after the downfall of the Dowager Empress, Zhang Ping returns to the capital to take up a new position. Lan Jue is forced to reckon with the fact that Zhang Ping may not have been the only one responsible for his numerous near brushes with death.
