Chapter 8

Again, thank you @circumference-pie for letting me blab into your inbox <3

Also it dawned on me (the thing with chinese being my first language is that I don't think of why certain words are said that way) that traditional Chinese time measuring is done in units of 2, so maybe that's why we call an hour 小时.

I already have 3 WIPs (actually 4, one is literally unpublished in my google docs right now) and SOMEHOW MY BRAIN KEEP THINKING MORE.

Basically, me giffing SOKP keep making me think how much the storyline is ripe for "marriage of convenience, 先婚后爱" canon-divergence. Also, it occurred to me as a reader of various historical romance over the years that ... Jiang Xuening and Xie Wei are truly alone together *clutches pearls* for a long period of time in canon? I know the drama basically was like "well, he's her teacher" but like ... dude is young and handsome.

So the plot would go like this (thank you, Avon romance)

Someone catches JXN at XW's place alone at night. Maybe it was during that Gongyi Cheng induced snow psychosis. It is a Scandal (TM) because well, there's not a great reason for a young woman of marriageable age to be alone with a single man of marriageable age at night.

Gossip happens!

They marry because of reputation blah blah blah

*waves hands* and that's all I got right now.

Anyways, @circumference-pie, @xiakeponz, and @dreamyklutzs - I'm requesting an intervention because I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR MORE WIPS BUT WHY BRAIN WHYYYYY

everybody being like "how did xiao bao not realize huai en is a dude?" y'all don't watch enough c-dramas where the female lead rolls up to the sword society streets in a high bun in a full beat of makeup and all the relevant hot dude chars approach her like she's ginuwine & they're justin timberlake full on "fo'shiz! fo'shiz! what's up my sworn bromie?" like this is equality looks like people wake up and embrace it

GET OUT!!!

[silviakundera]

Jiang Xuening flipping the script and being increasingly into Xie Wei the more unhinged & messily desperate about her that he reveals himself to be absolutely makes sense for her character.

The girl from the countryside who always knew her mother was searching for someone else in her face & felt a distance there, where they were harassed and never accepted by the villagers... and then came to the capital to find her "real" family where she had been replaced and could never catch up, finding it impossible to compare with the talents and poise of her replacement, who spent years realizing she can't please her birth mother... The woman who climbed up the ladder to be empress in her orginal life so that she could reach what she thought was the 1 unassailable point that demanded the respect & admiration that she's been craving, who since learning the truth of her identity lived in panicked grasping fear that everything she had would be taken away from her. Though at first she's instinctively running away from intimacy because she can't trust it, everything in her instinctively lights up at connecting with someone she feels a physical attraction to AND can't have their attention and love stolen away or shared. Once she realizes and accepts in her heart that this person can be all hers, with NO BRAKES ... She likes that he's obsessive and too much and damaged. He's hyper competent, she believes he can accomplish anything he sets his mind to, and what he wants the most is HER? Sorry not sorry this is 100% Jiang Xuening's secret sauce, she can vibe out on that forever.
