I saw this post and my immediate thought was "marital strife in the xiyao household"

would jiggy lose in monopoly on purpose to keep the peace or would he be the player everyone else wants to kill

jin guangyao being so polite while taking everyone hostage is so fucking funny. like he's actively restraining them and he's like "hello!! welcome!! if you'd please come right this way and seal your spiritual powers— oh no, sir, there's no need for that kind of language! i understand that it's an inconvenience but i assure you it's necessary"

I believe that Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao is one of the most underrated characters in the MDZS fandom. Sure, he might not be the most likable figure, and yes, he undeniably committed terrible acts, but setting aside personal bias, it’s hard to deny that he’s probably the most complex character in the entire story. In fact, I’d argue he’s even more intricate than the protagonists themselves—though that’s not to take anything away from them.

What makes Jin Guangyao so compelling is the richness of his story. His relationship with his family, marred by rejection and bitterness, shaped so many of his decisions. His unwavering determination to carry out a revenge that, deep down, he might not have fully understood himself adds layers of tragedy to his actions. And then there’s his bond with Lan Xichen—a connection filled with loyalty, admiration, and betrayal, which only adds to the moral grayness of his character.

What sets him apart is how human he remains, even as a villain. Every action he takes, every decision he makes, is grounded in his vulnerabilities, his desire for acceptance, and his drive to survive in a world that continuously underestimated and mistreated him. Even in his final moments, he embodies this heartbreaking blend of ambition, pain, and humanity.

To me, Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao isn’t just a villain—he’s a reflection of the complexity of human nature, and that’s why his character deserves far more recognition.

Jin Guangyao arrives to deliver his report to all three of the clan leaders present.

But upon entrance,

acknowledges the existence of only ONE. 😊

His Zewu Jun. 🥰

Felt the urge to draw JGY so I finally got around to reworking this piece (aka I got tired of messing with it and decided to call it done). Music inspired, as usual. 💛

Guanyin Temple was his trial obviously,

WHY TF IS JIN GUANGYAO IN THE TGCF MANHUA

Summary:

His father wanted a demonic cultivator, so it fell to Jin Guangyao to find one. Jin Guangyao acquires a problem, a headache, and maybe even a friend.

Notes:

The original concept for this one (and its working title for the duration of its existence) was "jgy teaches xy to read." As usual with my simple concepts, it got away from me and ended up only being a little bit about that and mostly just about the relationship between Jin Guangyao and Xue Yang at Jinlintai, which is a thing that fascinates me endlessly. There's a little bit in there about literacy, too. Immense thanks to my intrepid beta @ameliarating for her eternal hard work. I've been writing fanfiction for twenty years and she's been editing me for more than half of them.

I have an idea percolating in my brain. It's a little contrived, but bare with me.

Jin Guangyao finds a little used curse and plans on using it on the Yiling Patriarch. It turns the afflicted into an animal of the caster's choosing. It's not often used because despite being fast acting and almost impossible counteract, it's very easy to fulfill the terms of the curse. You just have to sincerely want to be human during a full moon.

But our second favorite devious bastard has a plan. He casts the curse at the right time, so it lasts a month. After cursing Wei Wuxian into being a rabbit, he gives the rabbit to Lan Wangji. He gives him some sob story about feeling sorry for the poor thing, being chased by dogs, and won't you please let him live with your other rabbits so he'll be safe.

One month later and wwx can't turn back because being lwj's pet rabbit is much better than being hated by the world at large and starving in an extra large, extra haunted graveyard. Even if all he gets to eat are vegetables (which taste better now) and there's no liquor

I cannot stop looking at this. Really like this artwork, especially XY. Good job ❤️

!!WARNING: SPOILERS FOR MDZS!!

AITIA for marrying my wife knowing she was my half sister to appease my father then proceeding to kill our only child?

I (M??), married my half sister (F??). For a little backstory, I am the bastard son of my father (M??). My mother was a well established prostitute who had a short lived fling with my father. After their communion, he left her a Pearl as a token.

After my mothers death I came to visit my father to request his acceptance. Unknowingly, it was my half brother (M??) birthday as well, my father refused to acknowledge my existence.

Fast forward a few years in the midst Sunshot Campaign I became an important figure in the destruction of the Wen Clan due to my usefulness as an informant. As I was the one who landed the finishing blow towards Wen Chao, winning me part of my fathers approval.

I also met a Girl who I saved during this time, who I would later learn was my half sister. We consummated our marriage before the ceremony was held, which I deeply regret.

This is the part where I may be the asshole.

My fiancé’s mother came to me revealing that my fiancé was not actually her husbands daughter, but instead my fathers daughter and a result of rape.

Making her my half sister.

Afraid of causing a falling out with my father who had only just approved me as his son, I continued with our marriage with the knowledge of knowing she was my half sister. I did not engage in any intimacy following this revelation.

I would soon learn my now half-sister/wife was pregnant. Fearing what may happen, I murdered said infant before he could show signs of being the product of incest. This ruined my wife.

My wife recently received a letter revealing that she is my half-sister and is currently freaking out. I have tried to soothe her by explaining my side of the story as well as the fact I’ve treated her well and that this was the best for both of our reputation.

AITA?

UPDATE: Thank you for your feed back. She just killed herself.

I love how a large proportion of the time in the Guan Yin Temple scene involved people sitting around waiting for their health/mana to recharge XD XD

[bombshell-banshee42]

The sparkles around Lxc’s ass? 🤣

I love this so much 💖

They are stupid, your honour
