What kind of careers/life styles do you enjoy seeing for the mzds characters in modern aus? jiang siblings especially

I'm not picky! It's really more about how they behave in whatever context they're placed in than the specific job for me, and I like when they're all astronauts or marine biologists or race car drivers or whatever and so the idea that they're all kind of operating within the same professional circles stays intact. That being said, it's also nice to let Huaisang just chill out being an eternal art student sometimes, and I have a soft spot for modern aus where Jiang Cheng fucks off to do something he actually enjoys. When you remove the dynastic/reconstruction responsibilities that's much less out of character, and a big part of the draw of modern aus for me is a setting where it's easier for the characters to be a) alive and b) happy. Jiang Cheng the wedding planner remains my absolute favourite, as an opportunity for him to go full proxy bridezilla and mount intricate logistical campaigns to his heart's content while judging other people for their inferior aesthetic taste. I have seen people suggest that wedding planning is too soft for him and I'm just going to go ahead and assume those people have never met a wedding planner.

I'm fond of WWX as an engineer, as he strikes me as a STEM baby to his core and it gives him a good outlet for his mad scientist tendencies.

I feel a little bad giving Yanli the most obvious two professions of chef and therapist, though I do think she'd be very good at both of those things. She's actually one of the relatively few characters besides Jiang Cheng and Meng Yao I can see just straight up getting her MBA or JD for family expectation reasons, and I honestly think she'd be pretty straightforwardly competent at most jobs that require a lot of interpersonal skills.
