!! This fanfiction features the following tropes:
* AintTooProudToBeg: Meng Yao in chapter 6, [[spoiler: after he has decided to return to Nie Mingjue, figuring working as his personal prostitute would be better than suffering the abuse of the Jin Sect]].
* DoubleMeaningTitle: The fic's title and main conflict, as one word (xiàng gong) can either mean husband or prostitute.
* ForWantOfANail: Chapters 1-3 [[spoiler: and 6]] center around how canon changes as a result of Nie Mingjue's clumsy marriage proposal to Meng Yao. In each case, it means they either never come into conflict or reconcile.
* InSpiteOfANail: In chapters 4 and 5, [[spoiler: canon proceeds as it would have normally, with the only thing changing being people's various reactions to events.]]
* MaybeEverAfter: Chapter 3. [[spoiler: the clarification around what Nie Mingjue ''actually'' meant comes only when Jin Guangyao has already been acknowledged and they have drifted apart. All that the chapter definitely indicates is that Mingjue and Guangyao can reconcile, though whether they'll end up together is more unclear]].
* OneDialogueTwoConversations: A conversation like this is at the center of the fic and its divergences, with Nie Mingjue proposing marriage and Meng Yao thinking he's being propositioned. How long it takes the two to realize varies from chapter to chapter, ranging from one night to ''decades'' [[spoiler: by which time Mingjue is long dead]].
