#Yu Ziyuan bashing

[silverflame2724]

All it took was a simple lie.

Jiang Fengmian was tired of the accusations, of the rumors on the streets, of the scorn from his wife. Ever since he had brought little Wei Ying back from the streets, Jiang Fengmian had to deal with so much stress. But it was worth it. To care for the child of his best friends, it was worth it.

It was true that he loved Cangse. He loved her personality, her laugh, the freedom she represented. But the moment she rejected him, Jiang Fengmian had backed off and stuck with friendship instead. It wouldn’t have worked out between them anyways. Cangse lived her freedom and that was the one thing Jiang Fengmian couldn’t give her. So he was sontent with the friendship and even more so when she proposed to Wei Changze.

The two of them, his most favorite people in the world, would get married and stay in Lotus Pier. They would help him teach his disciples, show them the joys and hardships of life, help him out with the sect.

But that kind of wishful thinking was shattered when he was forced to marry Yu Ziyuan. Jiang Fengmian never wanted her. True, she was a strong, capable woman. But her personality grated against his and he knew he would crumble beneath her. But it was his terrible mother’s wish to see them married and he could not go against her as his father supported the marriage as well.

So he got engaged to Yu Ziyuan and had to get to know her. And she….wasn’t as bad as he thought her to be. Sure, she was volatile but underneath all of that, she was a wonderful woman. That’s what he thought, at least, until he found out that she had forced his friends away from Lotus Pier.

Evidently, rumors about his previous infatuation with Cangse had reached her ears and with his mother’s help, kicked Wei Changze and Cangse Sanren away from him.

Jiang Fengmian grew resentful of the two after that. But perhaps he should have done more to comfort Yu Ziyuan that he didn’t like Cangse that way.

Well, what’s done is done. He can’t change the past. But he can do something right now.

He had found Wei Ying sobbing and on the floor, a red handprint on his cheek with Yu Ziyuan standing over him.

With a shout, he gathered Wei Ying towards him and questioned Yu Ziyuan, “Why did you hit him?!”

The woman scoffed. “Why can’t I? He caused trouble so he should be punished for it.”

“He’s nine! What kind of trouble could he have caused?”

“Does it matter?” She sneered. “You would always have come to this brat’s rescue. Even though you would never do the same for our son! Or am I right? That this brat is your child with that woman!!”

“I have never even touched Cangse in that manner, how dare you! I would never betray Changze like that!!”

“Well how am I supposed to know?! He looks so similar to you! And with the way that that woman flirted, you would think—”

“YU ZIYUAN! Don’t you dare complete that sentence!! There’s a child here!”

“Oh? Why can’t I? That brat deserves to hear what kind of a woman his mother was!”

Jiang Fengmian shook with anger. Without thinking too much, he blurted out something to make her stop. (Something he wished was true.) “Wei Ying is my nephew, San-Niang!! Wei Changze was my half brother! Why wouldn’t I care for the last reminder of him?!”

Silence reigned in the room save for Jiang Fengmian’s enraged breaths and Wei Ying’s sniffling.

“…..What?” Yu Ziyuan breathed. “He’s…..”

Jiang Fengmian just computed what he said. But he would push forward with it. “He’s my nephew. My father had a tryst with a woman and Changze was born. I never knew until my father had told me so on his deathbed.” Jiang Fengmian could only thank the starts that both his parents were dead and wouldn’t be able to contest against this. “I never brought it up to save our reputation. Are you happy now?”

Yu Ziyuan still seemed in shock so Jiang Fengmian took this time to retreat.

“I hope I never see anything like this again, my lady.”

He closed the door.

Summary:

The one where Yu Ziyuan time traveled but she thought that it was her visions of her alternate life.

She learned that there is a brat named Wei Ying who brought destruction to her and her family's life.

And so in her present, she vowed that she will never allow that to happen.

 

In which Yu Ziyuan found the four-year-old Wei Ying, newly pushed out of the inn where his parents left him, and decided that no, this child must never be associated with her, her family, and their sect at all.

And so Yu Ziyuan thought that she could bring him somewhere where someone may or may not find him but definitely far from where her husband could find him. If he's lucky, he'll survive that winter, if he's not, then death awaits the fevered child.

This is the extent of mercy that Yu Ziyuan could give a child.

With this, she'll raise her children without having to deal with a brat that brings trouble where he goes according to her visions of her alternate life.

Like the tag stated, this is definitely not Yu Ziyuan centric.

“Attempt the impossible.” Lan Qiren heard Wei Wuxian say that a lot of times and there were moments that he wanted to cover his lips to stop saying that. He could imagine Wei Changze shaking his head. He could imagine Cangse Sanren’s disapproving gaze. No parent would want to see their child suffer this way. He listened to the title given to Wei Wuxian and he felt how it did not fit the real Wei Wuxian. Yiling Patriarch. Lan Qiren shook his head. As much as it implies great power, Lan Qiren knew it was spoken out of spite most of the time. He watched Wei Wuxian meet Jiang Yanli in her wedding dress. He hated how he expected something more… especially with how Jiang Yanli was supposed to be the best sister in the world according to Wei Wuxian… and yet nothing happened. They went back to the Burial Mounds with a clarity bell and a bowl of soup. ~~

Lan Qiren could only shut his eyes. He failed… he failed this Wei Wuxian. As Wei Changze and Cangse Sanren’s friend, as his teacher, as an elder… Lan Qiren failed. He watched his nephew try to stop Wei Wuxian from falling. He watched how Jiang Wanyin stabbed the rock. He watched how Wei Wuxian let go. He listened to how his nephew screamed his name while Wei Wuxian had a resigned expression on his face. ~~

This was Wei Wuxian’s second life and his nephew has promised himself to stand by his side whatever happened. The more that he sees Lan Sizhui and his similarities with his nephews as well as his closeness with Wangji… Lan Qiren felt a tug in his heart. Does Wei Wuxian realize it as well or is it just him? When he learned the young disciple's courtesy name… he immediately confirmed his thoughts. Who – who made it possible? He was just a child who turned three at that time. The answer is obvious to him though. His nephew could have held onto the only living person associated with Wei Wuxian who loves and values him as much as Lan Wangji does… his husband in the eyes of Gusu-Lan Sect no matter what their age was during the wedding. It was done in front of their great ancestor and first female Sect Leader after all. Sizhui – to recollect and to long for. Wangji even bestowed him with such an emotional yet beautiful courtesy name. ~~

Lan Qiren’s brows furrowed when Wei Wuxian left Gusu. He almost tried to tug his robes to stop him from leaving after he parted ways with his nephew who was now the Chief Cultivator on top of the mountain. Why? Wangji did not even tell him that they were married! Qiren almost stomped his feet if he was not floating. They have waited and pinned long enough! Why are they parting?! Lan Qiren cannot imagine his life with someone as what his nephew and Wei Wuxian had. The true love and devotion remind Qiren of his brother and sister-in-law who fell in love but were put in such a situation that caused their current situation. ~~

As she swallowed hard, feeling pain on her palm with how tight she was gripping her fists, Yu Ziyuan saw the face of the brat in his Gusu-Lan robes with the main clan’s ribbon on his forehead.  Lan Qiren’s prized ward. Third Jade of Lan. Fourth among the Young Masters. And just recently, earned his title together with Lan Wangji. The light bearer and his light source. Hanguangjun and Guangyuanjun. Him?! The light source? Guangyuanjun ?! How could a brat become a light source?! He is a brat! A son of a servant and he does not deserve to receive any titles! Yu Ziyuan could feel blood dripping to the ground from her palms. She recalled the words in the letter she just read. Betrothal… which means… in the future, he will be leading the Lan Sect with Lan Wangji once Qinghengjun abdicates the position. ~~ karama is bitch 😉😉

E, Series, WIP, 184k, Wangxian

Summary: A night-hunt goes wrong, and Wei Wuxian is scapegoated for the death of the Jiang Sect Leader and the destroyed core of the Jiang Sect Heir. As punishment, his core is taken and given to Jiang Cheng, and he is stripped of his cultivation credentials and expelled from the sect. What everyone forgot was that Wei Wuxian was wearing the standard issue body camera that each cultivator wore on training missions and high-risk night-hunts. Struggling to make ends meet, Wei Wuxian finds his way to Caiyi Town with the doctor who performed the surgery, a partial core still secretly in place. His application to work at Cloud Recesses is summarily rejected by the hard-edged Second Jade of Lan after an unfortunate initial encounter. But things change when someone hacks into the Jiang systems and releases the footage of what happened. Kay's comments: The series is still a WIP, but the main story is complete! I am so weak for Kizu's modern AUs with cultivation, they are great. Especially the world building and how the cultivation society might function in a modern AU shines in this story. Definitely not a story for fans of the Jiang family, but a story for everyone who wants to see some retribution for the things Wei Wuxian went through. Here, Jiang Fengmian dies during a night-hunt accident where Jiang Cheng's golden core gets destroyed and Madam Yu makes Wei Wuxian give his golden core to him, unfortunately for her, his body-cam is still filming everything. Wei Wuxian finds himself taken in by Wen Qing and her family and we get the sweetest found family and Dadxian vibes here and then meets Lan Wangji as well, who's highly judgemental at first but soon finds himself drawn to Wei Wuxian as well. This story really got it all, the drama, the horny, the softness, the restitution & humor. Excerpt: Still Wei Wuxian forced himself to at least try one last time. “You could also interview me. Have me talk to your best talisman experts,” Wei Wuxian said, forcing himself to keep the desperation out of his voice. “Interviews are scheduled based on receipt of proper credentials and references.” “I don’t have any, at least not right now. But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be a great teacher.” “No references, no interview.” “Come on. Look, ask me anything about talismans. You’re an experienced cultivator, right? So you must know enough to at least interview me to see if I know what I’m talking about.” “Simply ‘knowing about something’ is not sufficient. Our lecturers are renown cultivators, and masters in their fields. No references, no interview.” Wei Wuxian felt frustration well up in him, especially at the reminder that Lan Wangji didn’t see him as a cultivator. No one would, in his current condition. Why would they? He didn’t have a functional core, which was the main scale against which all cultivation efforts were measured. He thought he had done a good job of not getting his hopes up about the teaching position, but the suffocating feeling constricting his chest was calling him out for being a liar. He should have known better. Why did he never learn? Some people had luck on their said, but Wei Wuxian had never been one of them. “Right. Of course. Because it would be impossible for someone who wasn’t born to the fucking clan nobility to ever actually be good at something, and the cost of taking the mastery test makes sure that other people can’t do it!” Lan Wangji’s lips parted slightly, like he might say something, but his expression was as opaque and emotionless as before. Wei Wuxian didn’t need to sit around and listen to him defend the clan system. “Good to know that the Lan are just the same as all the other sects,” Wei Wuxian continued, his lips twisting into a sarcastic smile. “Thanks for making that clear.”

Fic Finder

Apr 12th

~*~

1. For the ficfinder: In the last "In the mood for", no 8 reminded me of a fic but I cant recall the one. Wwx is travelling by himself, writing letters to LZ, he stays in a town and it ends up cursed. LZ and the juniors arrive to solve the case. Wwx is acting weird and hides his letters. The juniors read the letters and find out wwx is angry and full of resentment about how he's been treated. They find out the curse resonates from him. They talk it out to resolve matters. It was written really well. Any idea? @kesterling

FOUND! i found it myself, it kept bugging me. The fic is sadly deleted but on the wayback machine: Dock of the Bay by Haysel.

~*~

2. Hi! This is for Fic Finder. All I remember is the ending, where Yu Ziyuan had her arms cut off, and that there was a part that mentioned that this was punishment enough as she would have to live her life with no pride. Also, she had an affair with Jin Guangshan, and Jiang Cheng was his child, and she had to become his concubine, I think. Hope someone knows which fic this is!

FOUND? sounds like the deleted "OOC!" by A_flower_in_the_snow. It's avaiable on the wayback machine.

3. Hi, once again.

I’m looking for a fic that I seriously can’t find, at all.

So it would really be a great help if you could.

Wwx was brought to cloud recesses for healing after madam yu had whipped him so bloody he couldn’t move and wa sin active danger of dying.

The disciples who brought him there did so on a donkey I think?

Anyway they asked LZ to please befriend Wwx.

The healers weren’t sure if Wwx would survive. He does.

And joins the lan, befriending LZ oh and he can’t fight with his sword anymore because of the damage and something about his heart having been weakened.

That is all I remember.

Have a nice day/night. @ravenwithwings

5. Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else remembers a fic similar to leading tone by silencemostofall, and pastel by antebunny, but that's set in the canon era while they're at Cloud Recesses? A few details I remember was that the coloured mark that indicated Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian's relationship started to fade, and that Jiang Cheng was allowed home to celebrate his birthday, while Wei Wuxian's was completely ignored by the Jiang Sect and so he spent it drinking and was caught by Lan Wangji. Apologies that I don't have more! @flaxenhairedsamurai

6. There was this fic on ao3 I don't remember, much, but it had this part, where lwj refused to go near his child(/children??) Because when wwx was pregnant he slowly grew ill or I dunno I think there was some complications (?) and when it was finally the time of delivery, wwx fell into coma I think. And lxc was angry with lwj for not even looking at his child / children when both wc were so excited for the baby.

There is a similar wx comic on Twitter. Can you please find both of them? The ao3 fic and the Twitter comic too please?

FOUND? I don’t know the Ao3 but I do know the comic similar to the description which made by AlasseTassir in twitter and they post it on their pixiv.

7. A while back I found and lost 😥 a fic where WangXian, I think, were smuggling Wen Ning (and probably Wen Qing) across a border somewhere and they put a fake mustache on one of the two and people kept complimenting them on how nice it looked. I think people even copied the mustache after that? Maybe even the bad Wens? That's literally all I can remember about it. I've tried every tag I can think of and haven't been able to find it.

I’m looking for a fic that has Wei Ying being adopted into the Lan clan as a child, he was scared to be kicked out and became rather solemn and a perfect lan clan member, on the other hand Lan Zhan has grown to be shameless and flirts with Wei Ying every chance he gets.

11. Hi, thanks so much for all your efforts!!

I’ve been looking for a fic and hope it hasn’t been deleted. Wei Ying, Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Yanli were mermaids but were also semi-amphibious? They could go on land for short periods and they helped fight the Wens during the Sunshot Campaign. Wei Ying is married off to Lan Zhan and he lives in the Cloud Recesses. Most of the story is centered around Wei Ying adjusting to his life on the surface amongst humans and navigating the relationship with his new husband.

12. Hi, can you help me find a fic . The story goes somewhat like Lan Wangji was in a nighthunt and had taken shelter in an inn . There was a storm, and Wei Ying came to that inn seeking shelter with a few orphan kids . Those kids and Wei Ying were both from the same, and they escaped from being sold ? I think Wangji was a bit older than Wei Ying. Also, Wei Ying could use his cultivation powers without any medium like swords or instruments. 🙏

Helppp! looking for a fic I read awhile ago and it just wont leave my mind, So basically Wangxian had an age gap LWJ was like 16 or 17 and WWX in his 20's but like "the cloud recesses" is some sort of mansion and the lotus siblings visit them in cloud recesses. I think it was tagged E if that helps

14. Hi! For Fic Finder. Thank you very much for your help. There’s a fic I thought I bookmarked but can no longer find.

The first fic is a dark Lans fic set during the Cloud Recesses arc. WWX and JC are betrothed in this universe. But LWJ and WWX fall in love. LWJ manipulates the environment and JCs insecurities to break them up. I believe it’s in a two part series.

Thank you!

17. I'm looking for this fic that's basically a bunch of drabbles in one. Each chapter title is one word and serves as the theme for that chapter. I remember it having quite a lot of chapters, but I only remember one titled "kneeling" where Wuxian kneeled before Wangji (if you need a better picture, imagine that one scene in CQL where Wuxian kneeled and put his head on Yanli's lap in that one episode) @mindaneacc

18. Hey, I'm looking for a fic where LZ and WY are already married and living in Gusu. But they get separated from each other due to an illness/curse going through the Wen Sect, so LZ leaves to give medical aid. In the process, he ends up adopting Wen Yuan. There is a sweet connection between WY and Lan Qiren. But most importantly Wen Qing managed to assassinate Wen Ruohan. @mother-of-pigeons

I remember 18, though I can't find it either. The sickness/curse in question made people burn from the inside; it was contagious from breathing in the ashes of the people dying. There was a honestly touching scene with Wen Chao dying while Wen Ning kept him company. Wen Qing assassinated WRH because she was treating him for the illness, for which they'd finally found the cure, and he announced that he therefore would use it as a weapon against the other sects, by deliberately infecting them and holding the cure hostage. The only ones they'd allow to have the cure are the Lans, because they're the only ones who came to help. He also intended to marry WQ, as he'd lost both his sons and needed new ones. I think it might have been part of a series, with the first part showing how WangXian got together.

It's one that I read through here but never found again, anyway, the things I remember from the fic are: the sects transform into animals, being shapeshifters, the Lan are dragons like WWX, I also remember that the transfer of core occurred but the core has a mind of its own and it goes back to WWX's body, WWX faints and Wanji makes a soulmate connection... Those are the only things I remember!!

[thelyinggrapevine]

What is below the cut line is a (very long) list of my headcanons for The Jiang Sect.

FOREWARNING! Jiang Cheng is my favorite character, although I do not bash Wei Ying. JC is going to have the most, simply because he is the one I think of the most. If this is to be a problem for you, please stop reading here! Thank you!

If you have any ideas or headcanons of your own you wish to add, feel free to say them!

Jiang Sect

With the weather of Lotus Pier, people who live there are known to have really curled hair. (Wei Wuxian never felt the need to curl his hair to look more “Jiang” since he never believed himself to be part of the main family truly)

Since Lotus Pier (and YunmengJiang as a whole) get the most direct sunlight out of all the main sects, the people that live there have very sunkissed skin—they are considered the second darkest skin tone of the main sects. (the Wen are first)

MeishanYu has a tradition of inking dark lines or dots on the skin of a person for every year they have lived or every achievement they have acquired. Yu Ziyuan took that tradition with her and implemented it on her children (she had offered to do the same with Wei Wuxian at the very beginning of his living with them, but he declined). (Jiang Cheng continues the tradition in YunmengJiang after the fire, himself having the most ink on him) [Credit of idea goes to @auberginesvrn on Twitter]

YunmengJiang likes to hold monthly swimming competitions (it happens all year round since the temperature rarely drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit) and the winner of each one gets an “honorary” dot inked to add to their collection (should they want it, although most winners get one since that’s the main reason they join).

YunmenJiang's outfits are typically light purple and white for the summers so they don't absorb too much heat from the sun and are thinner in material, and during the winter they are a slightly darker purple (with white) and thicker material.

Zidian

Zidian is a sentient spiritual weapon and has a rare ability to give some of its own spiritual energy to its holder should it believe that they are worthy. 

There have been theories that if needed and the cultivator is deemed worthy enough, a strong spiritual weapon could take the place of a golden core. (But, there have been no successful attempts made—yet)

Zidian is able to take multiple different forms in order to fit its wielder to the best of its ability. For its previous “masters” (wielders) it took the forms of a lance, javelin (weirdly enough), a ceremonial dagger, and a gauntlet; all had the ability to conduct Zidian’s purple lightning through them.

Yu Ziyuan had a whip form, and Jiang Cheng is able to form either a whip or a bow and arrow should it be a desperate situation (the second form has only ever been needed once, and the people who were there never lived to tell the tale, so no one alive knows of his second form for Zidian)

(The bow and arrow form is a lot like Yoichi’s demon bow and arrow from ONS)

Zidian also has a special ability that is rarely shown (even to its holders); its ability to turn into a snake. Only one other holder was able to do it before Jiang Cheng, and it was the first one.

Jiang Cheng is the first to learn of Zidian’s soul-carrying ability since he was the only one to die and then come back to life (given that it was in his younger body, but whatever). This ability allows the holder to hear/see (depending on how powerful the user is) the souls that Zidian has taken the lives of (from the orders of the current holder).

Once a holder has access to this, they are able to hear Zidian talk to them.

Fun fact: Jiang Cheng is Zidian’s favorite of their holders!

Jiang Cheng

When he was younger, he used to have his hair down all of the time, but the older he got into his teenage years, the more he was teased by WY and was called “Meimei” (He was also one of the most attractive cultivators in LP (without him knowing, somehow???)), so he started to put it up into a ponytail. Then, it only got worse, so he started putting it in a bun, which is more intricate than in the donghua. People thought it made him look even prettier, but decided not to say anything about it for fear he would change it again. Jiang Cheng thought he succeeded in looking more “manly” (he was sorely mistaken lol). (Having his hair in a bun also makes it even more curly when he takes it down 🤭) (His hair is also the longest of the cast, Jin Ling is second with Wei Ying being a close third)

He has a small tattoo of a spider on the outside of his right pinky where it meets the bottom knuckle as a reference to his mother and her influence on him. 

When Jiang Cheng figures out he can turn Sandu into a tattoo, he chooses to make it appear on his back, with intricately woven vines and flowers growing around it—a reference to his family and home. (Refer to ‘Extra Headcanons’)

Jiang Cheng is actually quite proficient in his skills with a bow and arrow. He was good when Wei Ying was alive, and he was even more determined to get better when he died (it was a way for him to feel connected to his fallen brother, in a way, since it was one of the things that his mother used to constantly compare the two against each other)

His want to get even better also came from his resolution to be one of the main people to teach Jin Ling archery when he was old enough, given that it’s one of the things the Jins focus on the most (refer to ‘Jin Sect’).

Fun fact: one of Jiang Cheng's favorite snacks is cherries!

When Jiang Cheng started going after rogue Demonic Cultivators, a rumor started to spread, claiming that he was killing them off once he saw them after he returned back to his sect since no one would ever hear of the Demonic Cultivator again.

What really happened was Jiang Cheng would meet them and see if they could be reformed or not. If they could, he would offer them a job somewhere in his sect for the trade that they give up Demonic Cultivation and take some remedial classes that he gives. If not, he uses Zidian to kill them (that way when they die, the resentful energy that corrupted them is expelled and they are able to pass on to a better place instead of being grounded in the Burial Mounds).

Jiang Cheng has heard of the rumors that surround him, but he just never cared to dismiss them, saying that they gave him a more “ruthless” reputation and it helped him protect his sect better.

Jiang Cheng can hold his breath for up to ten minutes. It was found out at one of the swimming competitions and it ended up giving him the winning point. This also means that he has the record (beating Wei Ying).

At some point in time during the years that Wei Wuxian was dead, Jiang Cheng had a big mental breakdown—enough to spark Zidian. The lightning from the ring was strong, and for the first time in his life he could feel it hurt like a motherfucker. It felt like it went on for hours, but in reality it was only a couple seconds. Afterwards, Jiang Cheng couldn’t really feel his hand that much, and there were Lichtenberg scars covering it as proof of what had transpired. Zidian was still able to work, though.

Wei Ying

When he is resurrected into Mo Xuanyu’s body after 13 years of his death, he finds a butterfly permanently inked onto the boy’s body. At first, he thinks it was already there before the ritual, but he soon comes to find out that it was formed there after his soul took over the body, as it is a symbol of rebirth after death.

Wei Ying has actually attempted suicide multiple times, but Wen Ning kept stopping him before he could succeed (Wen Qing did as well, before she died, too).

Jiang Yanli

During the time both WY & JC were at the Cloud Recesses, Yanli actually took an apprenticeship with a cultivator who specialized in medicine and took a liking to it, her proficiency helping to give her a name in the area. Although, she didn’t get a lot of attention from it and eventually stopped practicing when WY came back from getting in trouble. The next time she ended up using her skills was during the Sunshot Campaign.

She had wanted to learn about using poison, too, but ultimately never got to.

MDZS fanfic ideas I have that most likely won't go anywhere and are mainly just titles atp

@fandom-trash-goblin ‼️

Wish You Were Sober (Chengxian but not necessarily outright)

Post Sunshot when Wei Wuxian is going out drinking everyday

Jiang Cheng being pissed about that (rightfully so, Jesus Christ)

They still love each other but it's hard when you're a sect leader and your SiC is dodging his responsibility's and by extension YOU

Jiang Cheng feels

Jiang Fengmian bashing

idk really I just felt like sharing

Modern AU Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling road trip

The end of the Summer holidays

And they have to get from Yunmeng to Lanling but Jin Ling's flight has been cancelled so Jiang Cheng has to drive him there

All types of shenanigans, for example:

Car breaks down

There's a storm so they have to stop for the night in this shifty ass motel

Jin Ling's awful (in Jiang Cheng's opinion) music

Jiang Cheng's awful (in Jin Ling's opinion) music

There isn't really anything dramatic or overly emotional about this

Just a bit of a laugh

Jiang Fengmian bashing (idk how but I will fucking get it in there idc)

Zhao Zhuliu/Wen Zhuliu is actually Jiang Cheng's real father AU (thank the Lord he looks like his mother)

Major Jiang Fengmian bashing obvs <3

pretty ooc except for Wen Zhuliu who doesn't really have a personality to mischaracterise

Wen Zhuliu being a bit #suspicious when Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian pull up for the Wen indoctrination

Just cause. how can anyone Like That be Jiang Fengmian's son??????

Anyways they're in the cave and Wen Zhuliu refuses to fight Jiang Cheng because by then he's worked out that the boy's birthday is like... suspiciously 9 months away from the last time he and Yu Ziyuan were last Together™

And bby is just like nope

not doing that today

Anyways burning of Lotus Pier and it all goes down the same

EXCEPT

Wen Zhuliu doesn't have anything to do with the death of Yu Ziyuan (if anything he's holding them all back)

Instead of taking his core, Wen Zhuliu takes that child out of Lotus Pier and straight to Wen Qing and renounces the Wen name, going back to Zhao Zhuliu (independent King, we love to see it)

Basically pledges pledges allegiance to Jiang Cheng and kinda follows him around like a guard dog for the entirety of Sunshot

OR

Wen Zhuliu doesn't make the connection of Jiang Cheng potentially being his son until he's got his hand in his chest and is melting Jiang Cheng's golden core

In this AU there'll be some weird thing where you have parts of your parents in your core I don't really wanna explain it

"Jiang Cheng’s golden core was strong for a seventeen year old and was filled with unbridled potential that only the son of the Violet Spider could hold or hope to live up to"

"It spills all over his fingers then onto the floor and he lets it, staring transfixed as his son’s livelihood falls through his fingers"

Basically, Wen Zhuliu gives up his core for Jiang Cheng via Wen Qing and surgery instead of Wei Wuxian and everything else plays out the same minus the demonic cultivation

Jiang Cheng still kills Wen Zhuliu however when he searches his robes he finds a letter addressed "Jiang Wanyin"

Edge of Seventeen (Jiang Cheng Sect Leader succession during Sunshot, potentially Zhancheng 👀)

Pretty much just a character study of Jiang Cheng

Set during the 3-6 months that Wei Wuxian was in the burial mounds

Lan Wangji being there when Wei Wuxian wasn't...

Not a fully fledged idea yet

Jiang Fengmian bashing <3

If Lost Pray That The Missing Lotuses Shall Float Down The River For You

by Shy_Fanfic_Writer Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan's marriage was not a loving one, no matter how much they tried to make it appear amicable. In fact, if you saw the two interact, you would swear they were mortal enemies. Despite their differences however, Yu Ziyuan had hoped that her husband would, at the very least, try to put some effort into loving their children as his own, even if he didn't love her. That hope was unfortunately squashed when her husband brought home a dirt covered brat, who he held with a care that he had never shown to his own son or daughter. Outraged at her husband's boldness to treat someone else's son better than his own children, within his own home to boot, Yu Ziyuan takes a page from her husband's book, and goes out on her own to bring home the son of someone else. As a result, their already deteriorating marriage becomes even worse. Their anger and hatred towards each other becomes so strong that it begins to affect not only the people within Lotus Pier, but also their relationship with their two biological children....

Summary: The one where Yu Ziyuan time traveled but she thought that it was her visions of her alternate life. She learned that there is a brat named Wei Ying who brought destruction to her and her family's life. And so in her present, she vowed that she will never allow that to happen. In which Yu Ziyuan found the four-year-old Wei Ying, newly pushed out of the inn where his parents left him, and decided that no, this child must never be associated with her, her family, and their sect at all. And so Yu Ziyuan thought that she could bring him somewhere where someone may or may not find him but definitely far from where her husband could find him. If he's lucky, he'll survive that winter, if he's not, then death awaits the fevered child. This is the extent of mercy that Yu Ziyuan could give a child. With this, she'll raise her children without having to deal with a brat that brings trouble where he goes according to her visions of her alternate life. Like the tag stated, this is definitely not Yu Ziyuan centric. Kay's comments: One of my go-to stories when I feel spiteful towards the Jiangs and just want to see Wei Wuxian thrive and be loved, as he deserves. In this story, we have time-travelling Yi Ziyuan, who promptly ditches Wei Wuxian once she's back, but luckily, he gets found by the Lans. He grows up in Gusu and changes the life there for the better. I really enjoyed how the Butterfly Effect played out here and how this story showed just because you time-travel, doesn't mean that things play out in your favour and things definitely don't play out in Yu Ziyuan's favour :> Excerpt: Lan Zhan's earliest memory was when he went to visit his mother once a month in the Gentian House together with Lan Huan starting when he was three and his brother was six. Their mother would open the door and welcome them in her arms. They would spend the whole afternoon with her until it was time for their uncle to fetch them. Then when he turned five, he was not able to see his shufu for a couple of months. It was Elder Nainai, the Elder in charge of the nursery who accompanied him and Lan Huan to go and see their mother. He learned that his shufu was always in the medical pavilion. Gossip is forbidden but he heard that his shufu brought a child after he went to Caiyi a few months ago. Later on, their mother opened the door and welcomed them to her embrace as always. When they entered, seated on Liu Meiyue's cushion was a child. "His name is Wei Ying. He is four and will turn five next month. He will live with us here in Cloud Recesses from now on," his mother said as she fixed his and Lan Huan's forehead ribbons.

⚠️Death of main character/physical abuse

Yu ZiYuan bashing

Ghost Lan WangJi

Wei WuXian quickly realized how strange the new home he and the Jiang family had moved into was. There was nothing wrong with the structure, it was a beautiful house, the neighborhood was lively and polite.

But it was still as if something was always there, lurking at him, as he packed his things, tried to rest or study. As if an intruder was with him.

Wei Ying was never superstitious, yet he would never reject a good ghost story.

He came to see these stories with different eyes after he returned from school from his first day of class, when Madam Yu complained about how he was throwing in Jiang Cheng's face the friends he had made.

Wei Ying had even tried to get them along with Jiang Cheng, who had refused with a frown. Despite Jiang Cheng's protests and explanations, Yu ZiYuan raised his hand and slapped Wei WuXian.

Jiang Cheng froze in place, Jiang YanLi sighed in horror and FengMian tried to calm her down, which didn't work and ended up with Wei Ying going to her room without eating, until Jiang YanLi knocked on her door with lotus soup and some words of affection.

"Thank you, Jie!", he whispered and slowly closed the door, watching Jiang YanLi walk away into the darkness of the long corridor where the rooms are located.

The soup was hot and smelled great, he sat down at the old table he used for studying and pushed away the mess he had already done, and began to eat in silence.

Then a shiver ran down his spine and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up, even though he felt something close to him, right on his back, Weu WuXian just continued eating until the end.

Is not like he was too afraid, but he still a human.

When he finally finished, the cold and feeling of being watched was gone and he was back in an empty room.

The strange situations continued: silhouettes passing through the curtain, unexplained shivers... soon Wei WuXian found himself looking more and more about the paranormal and ghostly activities.

That had to be it!

The situation got somewhat out of hand when Madam Yu hit him once more, he didn't even see what happened, only the result, which was Yu ZiYuan falling on his butt to the ground, seeming to have slipped on something.

She blamed Wei Ying and decided to give him another slap, luckily she fell again before finishing the action.

Furious, she yelled at everyone and Wei WuXian went to her room without eating.

No problem, of course, he had been hungry before and Shijie would bring him some soup, what happened sooner than he expected, someone knocked gently on his door.

Jumping out of bed and putting his book aside, he grinned at nothing as he opened the door. Looking around there was on the floor a bowl full of spicy soup.

The smell would kill anyone, but Wei WuXian's mouth watered and he devoured it without a second thought.

He went to sleep satisfied that night.

In the morning, without much thought, he smiled at YanLi and her apologetic smile, "A'Xian, I'm sorry I couldn't get you the food yesterday, A'niang didn't allow me and locked my and a'Cheng's room."

Wei WuXian, "Oh..." he smiled after a while, "No problem, Jiejie."

Hello Orion! I've seen your opinions about JC, YZY and JYL (I agree with all of them) so I was wondering, what about Jiang Fengmian? Just curious about what you think of him and how much JC stans seem to twist him in order to make him and WWX look bad. But then again I'm not quite sure what my opinions on JFM are either so I was just curious about it!

Love ur metas and writing btw! Your posts always cheer me up and I've been through some hard ass anxiety attacks of which your blog helped me through, so thanks a lot! ❤️💕

Hello there, Agnes! And thank you very much for the compliment, I'm glad if what I scatter about on this messy website is able to help others as well, even as I wrestle with my old anxieties before I toss it into the closet and tell myself to be open without worries about my opinions on a book we all have love for (or hate, I get hate reading too, if that's your thing... just please reread before trying to bash with your whole chest)

On to Jiang Fengmian, I think he was a kind man, that was not meant to be a leader, that was dealt a sad hand in life. I think his own passivity and wanting to be someone that just lived, ultimately is what sort of hurt him. His love and sentimentality, in a way feels similar to the quiet love of Lan Wangji, not understood well, especially since he did not get to have a Wei Wuxian at his side and had others he did significantly care for (Jiang Cheng) believe he was indifferent. There is a big reason why his message of being careful of how you express or what you say is such a major theme within the story, since it is his words, that are at the core of what Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji have to overcome to be happy with each other and see that their love and care is reciprocated.

Jiang Fengmian was wise in what he had to say, but his lack of faith in his own place or being able to have convictions in it, is what held him back, and made Yu Ziyuan able to be cruel to him, and their children. He was not able to rise above hardships because of this weakness. And him choosing to kowtow to that all, made him another accessory of saying and doing things that were damaging, regardless of intent. He had failed to follow his own words, and I believe he knew this as he was a worn down man by the time we get one real interaction with him. And he is just a sad man with only little happiness in his life.

He was a parent who wasn't able to speak to his child the way he or Jiang Cheng needed, and he wasn't a parent to Wei Wuxian, out of respect for his old friends, and because of the hate Madam Yu would continue to have in him. He made choices that weren't good for him, or anyone, when he ultimately agreed to a betrothal that ruined generations. I think he did see that, but didn't know how to fix it in anyway, and, went through life without really living it with little passion.
