Thinking about an AU where Jiang Yanli's "weak / mediocre cultivation" was caused by a horrific training accident when she was pretty young, in part to explore the tragedy and disability of it all and in part for the humorous "older relative casually drops wild personal lore that changes your entire perception of them" angle.

Like, Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan's firstborn child is a girl, which is not ideal in this deeply sexist world, but the sect motto is "attempt the impossible", right? It's not unheard of for female cultivators to lead sects and Yu Ziyuan wants her daughter to be the first female Jiang sect leader, to show up the cultivation world, and Jiang Fengmian isn't against the idea and wants the best for his daughter (although he probably doesn't want her to be a copy of his wife). So Jiang Yanli starts her cultivation training pretty early. There's a lot of intense pressure, a lot of expectation and projection and some arguments, and it all culminates in this poor child getting badly injured, with permanent damage to both her body and to her cultivation. It's a "no one's fault and everyone's fault" thing.

Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan quietly drop their plans for Yanli to become the sect leader and focus on a very young Jiang Cheng instead, which is easy in part because everyone expects the son to inherit anyway. A young Jiang Yanli is betrothed to the heir of the Jin Sect and this is basically never talked about ever again. General perception is that Jiang Yanli is a mediocre cultivator at best because she was born that way (she's a WOMAN, after all) and/or because her disposition is just too sweet and agreeable, and OF COURSE the son became the heir as soon as the Jiangs had a son. That's just how things work!

So, in an AU where Jiang Yanli (and Jin Zixuan?) lives and teenage Jin Ling is freaking out about some embarrassing and/or dangerous mistake on a night hunt...

Jiang Yanli, patting her son's shoulder: "It's going to be okay. You know, when I was a young child, I permanently injured myself in a training accident and could no longer become the Jiang sect leader, and it felt like the end of the world, letting everyone down, but it all worked out in the end!"

Jin Ling, whose entire 15-year-old worldview just got flipped upside-down: "...Mother?! What?!?!"

hmmm. Saw a bad Jin Zixuan take. Am I his defense lawyer too now? [rolls up sleeves and leans in by the mic] The reason Jin Zixuan never "spoke up against his father's war crimes, human experimentation, wiping out opposing clans over petty ambitions, and funding demonic cultivation" is because he Did Not Know About Them.

The reason JGS utilized JGY the way he did (putting him in charge of managing that shit, basically) was because JGY was 1) expendable to him, 2) loyal to the point of desperation, and 3) easy to discredit if he ever spoke out. Jin Zixuan was too busy managing his parents' marriage, too politically visible and respected, and too Self Righteous and Just for JGS to EVER involve him in getting his hands dirty for JGS's ambitions-- especially when JGY was right there and available to be exploited.

Lots of people had opportunity to stand up to JGS, and certainly Jin Zixuan was one of them, but "He knew about all the dirty laundry and said nothing" is a rancid take. At most he can be accused of not standing up to his father's more socially visible shit, and perhaps not looking too deeply at the rest. But as with so many characters in this story, keep in mind that Jin Zixuan TOO is bound by filial piety. Investigating his father for Secret Crimes would have been in itself tantamount to a crime.

Anybody who thinks he was involved in the same shit JGY was is, again, missing the entire point of the dichotomy between how Jin Zixuan and Jin Guangyao were respectively viewed and treated by their father.

I love writing this story so much 😭

[fangxin-guoshi]

Jin zixuan would thrive as a popular slightly pathetic awkward malewife mikorin type character in a slice of life hs romcom shoujo but instead he's fighting for his life in a xianxia filled with war and politics. Someone save him.
