Wei Wuxian had noble blood, although not many liked to remember, so using it to their advantage both the Jiang clan and the Lan clan signed a contract for a arranged marriage between him and their second young master so their claim to the emperor's throne would be stronger after the fiasco with the first young master and his "friend".
He did not know his newly wed husband, haven't seen his face outside of paintings and rumors. The maids and servants around him all treated him with the utmost respect, so unlike a year or so ago when he was considered one of them even though he lived as a young master himself.
They dressed him in luxurious red wedding clothes that felt too heavy and tight on him, with a veil to cover his face and only to be lifted at his wedding chambers by his husband's hand. Everyone told him what to expect and what to do at this important night, even so far as hiring someone to teach him how to care for his body in case his husband turns out to be one to be rough.
But that ended up being futile, his husband has not visited his chamber, even if Wei Wuxian waited the whole night awake, sitting politely on the red cushion between the table with, by now sour, tea and the red bed, veil still on his head and staining everything he saw in the same color as every fabric around him.
Feeling wronged and humiliated, Wei Wuxian dumped the tea on the steps in front of his chamber, deciding to wear his veil until his husband lifted it, with the intention of humiliating the Lan clan back and securing a good divorce if needed.
After the awkward and full of tension breakfast with his new family, Wei Wuxian decided to stay in his chambers reading whatever book he found around, asking for more to his personal servant.
When asked why he wouldn't leave he would say the same thing, "I have no official duties in this household, that means my husband does not need me. I should act accordingly and keep myself away from his eyes."
That went as long as some months, almost half a year, until his husband had enough and finally visited him himself, and did not send someone else.
And, oh, his husband was as beautiful as he was told, although still cold and stubborn.
"You are still wearing it." Lan Wangji said, ignoring the tea in front of him "Why?"
"Why, you ask." Wei Wuxian chuckled "Only a husband can lift a wife's veil, during their wedding night and before consuming it. My husband neither visited me nor wishes to consume our marriage, there are no reasons for me to lift it with my own hands."
Lan Wangji tried to lift it, but Wei Wuxian wouldn't let him, no matter how many times he tried.
After long weeks of meetings and having verbal fights disguised with flowery and poetic speech, Lan Wangji finally lifted the veil and saw his husband's face.
Who would know that love could bloom between them?

So new headcanon is that the Emperor enjoyed playing tricks on other psykers just because he could.
Background: in my current DnD session, we are randomly followed by the equivalent of the Emperor. Bro is our ally and will poop out of nothing just to see what we're doing. We have one wizard with us, and she can see magic - so she can understand when someone is a magician like her or when an object is magical. She can literally see the colors and lights of magic.
Basically, last time we were surrounded by a lot of stuff, many of which were magical objects so she wanted to have a better look. The Emperor0.5 noticed and literally released his aura so that she could only see light everywhere - in the end she could not say which object was magical and which one wasn't.

I know I’ve rambled a lot about how Marie Louise was a bad mother
And she was.
But, I just want to say…if she was a bad wife?
Whatever.
Seriously whatever.
She was forced to marry Napoleon against her will. She signed up for none of that shit.
And she tries to be loyal to him! She does! I think she did love him very much, actually.
But you read things in her biographies like, “her Austrian family tried to turn her against Napoleon by telling her that he had cheated on her.”
And, it’s like…
They’re not wrong?
Napoleon did in fact cheat on her all the time.
“Her Austrian family told her that he had welcomed his mistress to Elba, just so she wouldn’t join him on Elba!” Cool cool. But did Napoleon, or did Napoleon not, welcome his mistress to Elba?
Exactly.
I hate on Marie Louise for being a bad mother.
But in regards to her being a bad wife?
That’s literally queen behavior.
Empress behavior.
If Napoleon hadn’t been a sack of shit husband maybe she would’ve been a better wife to him.
