1. Hi good evening, I'm looking for a wangxian fanfic, where yu ziyuan was Jin guangshan's concubine, if not You already found it, on an old list, and I would love to read it again @glass-madness

FOUND? OOC! by -niehuaisang

~*~

2. Hi there! I've been trying to find this fic to re-read for a while now and I'm hoping that someone else recognizes it (and that it's not deleted!)

I believe it was in the "LWJ marries the Yiling Patriarch" category and there was a Yiling Wei sect or something similar (although it's been a very long time and I don't recall anyone else actually being in the sect so I could be wrong on either/both counts). WWX often went back and forth between the Burial Mounds and Baoshan Sanren's mountain via portal (?) as they were trying to cure Lan Yi of her spiritual malady (?). Last I still remember it was a WIP, and one of the little details that sticks in my mind was that BSSR had gotten WWX doing decorative knotwork to keep his hands busy, so the palace had incredibly intricate pieces, like, everywhere, and he often gifted it to people.

Hopefully that sounds familiar to someone; thank you for all you do! @tevokkia

2 check #17 on this old post, it also mentions knotwork and BSSR and might be what you're looking for

8. Hello! I had to switch phones and lost all my fanfic open tabs, and I'm trying to remember the names of all of them. One I cannot recall for the life of me was a WIP with only one chapter where during the Burial Mounds Siege Wei Wuxian was basically sort of rescued by Lan Wangji but then put to trial by the cultivation sects and he agreed to be imprisioned as long as they guaranteed A-Yuan's safety. I remember it being a sort of Madam Lan situation, or something. Can you help me?

9. A) Hi! This is for fic finder. I dont remember much and i dont remember if it was modern with cultivation. Focus on junior quartet. Wen remnant live. They are on summer camp that the jin organized. A-yuan comes to the camp with JWY (im not sure about this). A-yuan then befriended jl, oyzz, ljy. I think they are in the same room (dorm room but its a cottage? I dont know what its called). In group activity, a-yuan sneak up to meet up with wn and the other three sneak up to follow a-yuan. Long story short, a-yuan, ljy, and oyzz is invited to lanling because they are jl friend (either because that or they rescued him). The one that invite them is either jgs or jgy (i think it was jgs). They tried to track wwx but always failed. When jgy comes to the summer camp, they tried to disguise a-yuan as lan diciple but failed. And then jgy found out that a-yuan is wwx son and forced them to go to lanling. In lanling, a-yuan wants to leave and jl, oyzz, and ljy helped. Su She is the one that tracked them down when they tried to run away. Thats all i can remember. Thanks

B) Hi! This is for fic finder. Its a modern with cultivation fic i think. Wen remnant lives and in hiding. Focused on junior quartet. A-yuan comes to summer camp that the jin organized with JWY. A yuan the befriended jl, ljy, and oyzz. They are in the same room (dorm room but a cottage? I dont know what it is called). Jl, ljy, and oyzz is kinda suspicious of a-yuan because he is the only one that are not affliated with a sect. The three of them followed a-yuan in secret when a-yuan sneak up to meet up with wn. Long story short, jgs invited ljy, oyzz, and a-yuan to lanling because they are jl friends. When jgy comes to the camp, they tried to disguise a-yuan as lan diciple and failed. Jgy forced them to go to lanling (honestly i think he kinda kidnapped them). I think he found out that a-yuan is wwx son and used him to lure out wwx. In lanling, jl, ljy, and oyzz helped a-yuan to leave. Su She is the one that responsible of them. Thats all i can remember. Thanks! @idontknowwhattowriteforusername

10. Hi, lovely people. I'm looking for a fic where LWJ takes WWX out the Burial Mounds, along w/all the Wens (against their will, but keeping 'em safe) & brings 'em to Gusu. He turns WWX into an omega w/a "recipe" of Wen Qing (who does it just for their own safety), until WY gets pregnant of Sizhu & Jingyi (not sure abt the names), but he often doubts abt having being an omega b4 & he's always being forced to have sex. LZ treats him rough & poorly, even in front of their sons. WWX ends up getting tired & runs away w/the kids, leaves 'em in the woods & jumps off a cliff. (Prob. Dark LWJ) TYSM! @einherjermineord

Post-canon song lan actually try and help xue yang before he actually dies just to force him to help revive xiao xingchen.

One day when they were getting ready for another failed attempt, the soul of xxc were nowhere to be seen in the pouch.

As they were fighting over who loses his last pieces of soul, they both hear a familiar voice from behind.

“Long time no see!”

WujiWatch: CQL Rewatch Episode 10

 Two things stand out to me in this episode: the question of conflict between the sects, and the question of the pros and cons of being outside the system.

So, first, conflict between the sects. It’s interesting, for a long time I assumed that serious conflicts—like, deadly armed conflict—between the sects was rare. In fact, I assumed that the last sect war was the war against Xue Chonghai (which occurred “thousands of years ago” according to Nie Mingjue, “hundreds of years ago” according to Lan Yi, and “a hundred years ago” according to Lan Xichen—amazing), and that since that time, the cultivation world has basically been at peace. Cultivators’ martial training was for fighting yao, mo, guai, and gui, and also taking down individual baddie cultivators, not for making war against large, organized groups of other cultivators.

But then, in this episode, when Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan are asked to help our heroes with their quest, they refuse on the ground that they don’t get involved in inter-sect conflicts. Not “we don’t want to get involved with this inter-sect conflict,” but “as a practice, we do not get involved with inter-sect conflicts ever,” which sure seems to imply that there have been others, in their lifetimes. Like, for abstaining to be a practice, there needs to be something to abstain from, you know?

And as I’m pondering this, the camera cuts to the first shot of the Unclean Realm, and my question is very definitively answered for me—because nobody builds fucking twenty-foot high stone walls with ramparts and a fucking portcullis because they’re scared of individual demons or ghosts, or even scared of a small group of the cultivational equivalent of bandits. You only build a fortress if you’re scared of an army.

(When you start seeing the sets this way, you realize that Cloud Recesses (at the top of a mountain accessible only by one narrow staircase), Jinlintai (another stone fortress accessible only by a staircase), and Nightless City (ditto, at the top of a mountain) are also all built to withstand a siege. Only Lotus Pier, wide-open and unfortified, is vulnerable. Easy pickings.)

This is important because I’d previously been pretty judgy about Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan refusing to be involved in dealing with the Yin Iron – I’d thought, “Sure, you don’t want to get involved in petty squabbling—but this is a big deal! Wen Ruohan is kidnapping random cultivators and turning them into zombies! How can you say you’re devoting your life to justice and then sit this one out?” But their decision makes a lot more sense if the sects are frequently at war with one another – this would, at this point in the plot, just look like more of the same. And I, too, would find it exhausting constantly getting asked to pick a side in bullshit wars waged by people more interested in acquiring power than using it to protect the people who they’re supposed to be protecting.

Okay, second thing: the idea of rogue cultivators. One of the interesting things about the drama introducing Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan this early is that it sets up this theme of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji both yearning for that kind of free, roving life, and in fact, bonding over that shared longing. Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan sure make that life look very attractive. (Not just because they’re gorgeous, but that helps!) Prioritizing shared principles over bloodlines, going where the greatest need is, opting out of petty, grasping sect power struggles—it makes total sense that our heroes would go starry-eyed like they’re meeting celebrities; that Wei Wuxian would earnestly and awkwardly tell Xiao Xingchen that he and Lan Wangji have been trying to do the same thing with their Yin Iron quest; that Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji gaze longingly after Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan’s departing forms and then share a wistful look with each other.

But the price of that life, as the drama shows—also using Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan—is how powerless it makes you. Xue Yang’s capture would not have been possible without sect cultivator Wei Wuxian tethering him to keep him from running away. More importantly, only sect cultivators have a prison in which they can keep Xue Yang – if the sect boys hadn’t come along, Xiao Xingchen would have had no choice to either kill Xue Yang immediately—something that characters in this show are shockingly (to this Western viewer) loathe to do—or let him go. Xiao Xingchen tells our heroes that they can call on him if they are in need… but when Lan Wangji, practical boy that he is, asks how they can get in touch with him, Xiao Xingchen’s answer is basically, “You can’t,” because he doesn’t have a home base. So it’s a pretty empty promise. The vast and manifest injustices that will soon unfold in this story—from the Wens’ massacre of several entire sects (the very crime for which Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan sought to bring Xue Yang to justice) to the post-Sunshot torture, imprisonment, and murder of the Wen Remnants—will do so without a peep from these two righteous cultivators. The sects have corruption, and war, and hypocrisy—but they also have infrastructure, resources, and networks.

Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan show what happens when someone makes a principled decision to opt out of those resources and networks.

Meng Yao is about to show what happens when someone has those things stripped from him, against his will.

Hm. Not gonna lie, kinda tempted to write a Xiao Xingchen x Xue Yang smutty one-shot. I've got some thoughts cooking

[drama--universe]

Down on your luck

Requested by anonymous: Aww, I sprained my ankle a week ago😞 can Xiao Xingchen (already blind) help me? The reader does not know him, she breaks her ankle on her travels, so there is no one around where she is, no village, no help. She believes that this is the end of her, but she is eventually found by a blind cultivator...

Pairing: Xiao Xingchen x fem!reader

Word Count: 1.0k words

You couldn't believe your luck or rather the lack of. The journey had been long and you were tired, barely paying attention to the things around you. Consequence? A face-first meeting with the stone floor and a rolled over ankle. The muscles in your feet gave out everytime you stepped on it, creating a painful wave that shot right up your leg. And thus you laid here, unable to go anywhere in a town that was completely deserted. Not even ghost wandered the place, you were utterly alone and starving. At this point, you didn't know how long you would be able to sit here and stay alive. You had tried moving, but you basically had to walk on your hands while you dragged your legs behind you. It worked for the first few hours, but your arms weren't as strong as your legs and you be dammed if you had to continue moving like this.

So you just sat there sadly, hoping for anyone to pass by the little town and notice your screams.

And somehow, your prayers were answered. Just not in the way that you expected, because in no way did you think a blind man would be your savior. Of course, it didn't matter at the end of the day as long as you were able to get out of the ghost town. So you were ecstatic when you saw him approach, calling him over before explaining what had happened. He was kind enough to first give you some food and water before he quickly helped you on his back. Then the travel started and you talked to him, not that he talked much back to you. He mostly listened to you, nodding along to your story of your accident while also keeping his pace steady. One small thing, the walk to the next town was days away and you were definitely slowing him down to a week instead. So on the first night, you found some shelter by the trees next to the main road and camped their. You made a fire while the mystery man prepared a place to sleep, but you took the opportunity to ask for his name.

"Xiao Xingchen." He spoke soft, voice like honey and it was quick to melt away any distrust that you previously felt. You then introduced yourself, but he paid no mind except for a short nod while he sat down. The stars were quick to appear in the dark night sky, but you never fell asleep and neither did Xingchen. The pain in your foot hurt too much, still pulsing up to your leg with painful shocks. It was hard to ignore, your mind wouldn't shut off as it tried to warn you for the pain that you clearly already felt. At this point, you were almost ready to nearly pass out from exhaustion mixed with pain and yet your mind did not allow it in any way. It was just ridiculous at this point and you're sure that Xingchen believed the same as he heard your groans of pain.

"Could I do something to make you more comfortable?" "Unless you can magic away the pain I feel, I'm afraid not." You said, trying to make your voice sound teasing and yet you could not. Your voice sounded strained if anything. Even though you believed it impossible, Xingchen did not as he felt around for his bag before pulling out something. He skillfully moved closer to you, avoiding the fire like it was nothing before he lifted your leg. It rested on his lap, the fabric lifted to reveal your ankle. It didn't look pretty, your ankle was swollen to the size of a wine jar and bluish purple bruises ran up from your foot to your leg. Xingchen was gentle as he applied some kind of cream before ripping a part of his gown to wrap around your ankle. You wanted to protest, but he was too quick for you to even open your mouth and start to talk. Surprisingly, the pain started to subside in a matter of seconds. The cold cream that he had applied started to numb your ankle and soon enough you didn't feel a thing.

"Now rest." He spoke and you were quick to fall into a slumber. It wasn't long, you woke up merely hours later as the sun rose up above the landscape. It was bright, so bright that you could barely open your eyes. Once open, however, they were quick to land on Xingchen. He was a bit further, robes and hair flowing in the soft breeze as he moved gracefully with his sword. It was almost like he was dancing to the waves of the wind, soft movements that prevented any kind of sound from the sword as it swished through the air. You were captivated to see him, you had never seen someone perform like he did. Much to your dismay, he quickly stopped once he noticed your eyes on him.

"You're awake." He spoke as he put his sword back by his side, shedding it before walking your way. His hand moved to your ankle and you were relieved to see that the swelling had gone down significantly. Without another word, Xingchen was quick to pack up and carry you again. This repeated for four days, everytime you woke up to see him practicing again and every day he stopped once he recognized that you had awoken from your slumber.

Once the village was reached, Xingchen brought you to a doctor to heal your ankle fully and then you parted ways. He bid you goodbye with a smile and even though he couldn't see it, you smiled back with glee. You hoped to see him again soon, but you could not travel with him now. You had to return to your own world, even it meant separating from the stranger you had grown to like.

What about a time traveling Song Lan AU for the ask game? :)

ooo last year for the reverse big bang one of my authors wrote a glorious fic about this, you can find it here! just gonna plug for a second lmao also because the art was so cute if i do say so myself

Song Lan does not know how far back to go at first, or what he will even do when he gets there. he's run the scenarios over and over in his mind but knows that it doesn't matter, that the Song Lan away from conflict and in a safe environment that allows him to think is very different from the Song Lan faced with an issue. he knows he is impulsive and driven by his heart. this scares him, but he has to do something.

he considers, of course, going back to that ill-fated day in Yi City and killing Xue Yang before he even has the chance to meet with his past self. but then Xiao Xingchen would wonder where that mysterious youth went, and Song Lan would either need to tell the truth, the full truth, or he'd need to keep him in the dark forever. neither option appeals.

he considers killing Xue Yang at several other points, too. knowing what he knows, he figures he'd have enough of an excuse to do so at the market where they met for the first time if he so wished. he could kill him at the entrance to Baixue Temple. he could kill him as a child. this last option makes him sick. all options make him uneasy. this man took everything from him, broke the person he loved most in the world and robbed them all of a happy life- and yet he pities him. even though he doesn't want to, he's seen so much of the pathetic mess of a man that he isn't sure he feels comfortable ending his life before it's time. he knows how much Xue Yang was hurting near the end, and part of him doesn't want to do away with all that suffering. in the end, he decides that he'd rather not cross paths with him entirely.

on dark nights, he considers going to Baoshan Sanren's mountain and warning Xiao Xingchen not to descend. he considers abandoning their brief yet wonderful time together in order to spare him pain. and still, selfishly, he cannot bring himself to do it. better to have loved and lost and all that. sometimes, when all these choices overwhelm him, he considers going back far enough to prevent his own birth, but then there truly would be none of the good. there would be nothing at all.

he needs to make a choice. he can go back as many times as he needs, redo it all as many times as is required, but he fears each new rewind will break him a little more. he'd rather think he has only one shot at this. he realizes he's going to have to retrace more steps than his own in order to know how to minimize everyone's suffering.

[jaudolls]

Redressed these boys for the cold season, and snapped some quick shots while they were there.

Xiao Xingchen (right) also got a different wig, because the previous one was difficult to deal with and just didn't work.

I'm also wondering if I should chabge their names. They are very, very loosely based off Xue Yang and Xiao Xingchen from mo dao zu shi/the untamed, but in a modern au of mine that has so little to do with the og story that I feel awkward keeping the og names🤔

[silvysartfulness]

Top 5 scenes from Heaven? :)

I got variations of this question twice (yay!) so I will just shamelessly list ten, starting with the first 5 here. 😂

In a loose chronological order:

1. Carve your vengeance from my bones (chapter 6)

I feel this is the scene where the true mood of the story finally shines through, the hurt and desperation, the devotion and grief. Xue Yang offering Xiao Xingchen to take whatever revenge he deems fit to settle the score between them so they can go back to how things were, even if that entails Xue Yang’s own death.

Up until this point, he’s kept the cocky, carefree mask firmly on, being snarky and contrary at worst, but neither expressed remorse or particular happiness that Xiao Xingchen is back. But when he finally gets to talk to him one on one, that facade finally cracks and he breaks down in tears, offering him anything, everything for a shot at second chance.

2. The catfish-yao river and storytelling (chapter 19)

This is such a turning point in all their dynamics, and especially between Song Lan and Xue Yang! Up until this point, they’ve been more or less openly hostile, Song Lan still wishing they could get rid of Xue Yang once and for all, and Xue Yang only just barely tolerating Song Lan’s presence because it’s been made clear he is the condition for Xiao Xingchen’s healing and survival.

But in the river, Song Lan could have turned his eye away for just a moment and let Xue Yang drown – but instead he chose to save him. Xue Yang is shocked, but it does mark the first dramatic shift in his attitude towards Song Lan.

And of course I love the more lighthearted scene after, when they sit around the fire telling the infamous frog story! Actually laughing together for the first time. A first warmth.

3. Yueyang gossip reveals (chapter 23)

The scene that hit the fragile budding companionship like a bombshell – Xiao Xingchen overhearing the gossip in Yueyang, about how “Xiao Xingchen” supposedly tortured Chang Ping to death with Shuanghua. The absolute betrayal and shock when it turns out Xue Yang went right back to his murderous ways after Xiao Xingchen’s death, and how that utterly shatters the very brittle trust that had begun forming between them.

Every hurts a lot. Everything’s back to pieces. It’s very yummy. 🙂

4. Xue Yang drunk in Muaishan (chapter 39)

For the longest time before writing it, this was my go-to angsty bedtime story in my head before going to sleep. This is Xue Yang’s absolute lowest point, where he’s lost all hope and given up on everything, trying to drown up all that grief and hurt he doesn’t even understand feeling with determined alcohol poisoning, clinging to his worst enemy crying and whimpering that he doesn’t want to do this anymore. That Song Lan is the only thing he has left.

And then Song Lan finding the note he’s kept all the way from Tanzhou, with the words “losing you now would destroy him. he still misses”, the only proof Xue Yang has that at least before, Xiao Xingchen had actually missed him and didn’t want to lose him. A very pitiful last straw to cling to.

A scene that has both Xue Yang’s utter breakdown, and Song Lan’s first, very reluctant feelings of sympathy.

5. Xiao Xingchen's vision of Baoshan Sanren (chapter 40)

This may actually be the scene that’s had the greatest emotional impact on me personally in the story? I can endure tons of angst with no problem, but the hope of this one… I’ve cried so many times to this scene. First when I first thought of it, sitting in the car on the way to town, openly crying as the conversation played out in my head. Then again when actually writing it. And many times rereading it.

I’m very proud of this one, of the wisdom that Baoshan Sanren conveys in her calm, no-nonsense way. Maybe this scene was a bit of a vision for me, too. It’s very dear to me.

Thank you so much for asking, truly! 😍😍😍

1. Ok this might be a shot in the dark. But do you know of a fic where basically it’s an arranged marriage (kind of) between lan zhan and trans (ftm) wei ying. It believe it is based on a reddit thread of a gay guy who got into an arranged marriage with a woman, but they actually are a trans man. Anyways…the reddit posts are deleted by now. But I remember reading this fic a couple years back and I can’t find it anywhere. Either it’s been deleted or hopefully someone else is able to find it 😭

2. Hi!! I cant remember if I already sent this or just thought really hard about it 😪 Im looking for a modern AU fic where WWX is dx'd ADHD and he and LWJ slowly start a relationship. The scene I remember most clearly is there being fireworks and it send LWJ into a meltdown. Ether just before or after the meltdown he found out LXC and LQR have been trying to get him diagnosed with Autism.

Xiao Xingchen is an adult psych who specalizes in neurodivergence iirc, and WWX helps make LWJ feel more okay w possibly being neurodiverse by talking about his experience w ADHD and Xiao Xingchen.

Junior quartet is in a club where they make a magazine (sorry i forgot the word both in my language and in english). They have an access to a school forum. LJY found an old forum talking about wangxian. Like the people in that forum failed to make wangxian happen in the past. If i remember correctly, they tried to matchmake wangxian. They ask LWJ to accompany them to yunmeng. In yunmeng, there are big festival happened there and they meet the jiang family in second floor of the restaurant to watch the festival from there. I think the jiangs is a respectable family that many people know them. So long story short, they manage to matchmake wangxian. I dont know if LJY release the news to that old forum or someone did. Just that LJY have an inkling the account that helped them is NHS. I dont know if this is important but LJY username has connection to chicken. I think thats all.

10. hi!! i'm looking for a fic i read about a year ago(?) on ao3, where during the cloud recesses study arc (i think?) lqr and the other teachers notice that wwx's basic education is lacking and wwx says it's because yzy doesn't let him join jc's lessons because wwx is supposed to be a right hand man and his education is therefore less important, so the lan elders and scholars all team up to give him remedial lessons; i think there's also a part where they build a case against the jiang sect because the sect scholars failed their responsibility to teach their disciples equally. the fic holding shreds by barisan reminds me of it a little bit, but instead of yzy's physical abuse of wwx the one i'm looking for is all about the emotional abuse and education inequality

I remember that a member of YunmengJiang approached him with a list of members of the sect that would leave if he didn’t get an heir. I think it was mentioned that people were okay with him not having getting married since they assumed Jin Ling would inherit and Jin Guangyao would have another child but once his crimes were revealed they started to pressure him.

So you know how theres this TikTok Sound of someone called Nick who asks for the WLAN Password and its I Love You Nick and Nick is in a lot of denial about being lovers even though their anniversary is coming up?

I found a fic that was basically WY and LZ in a relationship, and WY/LZ (but more likely WY) didn’t realise that they were anything more than friends, and it was very funny.

More comedic than anything else. But I cannot for the life of me find it, and everytime I try and search for it, only the sad version shows up.

Please send help, I need to read this fluff….I crave it. @desperation-is-my-middle-name

i miss you.

xiao xingchen x gn!reader. angst. not proofread.

! CW

angst, mdzs + the untamed spoilers.

maybe a bit cringey idk this came from the top of my head

"a'qing! slow down!"

your voice echoed down the empty street of yi city, accompanied by the light patter of footsteps and giggles. panting, a low chuckle can be heard behind you.

"tsk, tsk, such low stamina!" the man in black sang, eyes dancing. you secretly nicknamed him 'bitchass scoundral,' but he won't ever have to know! you shot him a glare, elbowing him roughly.

"shut the fuck up," you snap, which earns a quiet ahem from your lover, xiao xingchen. you mumble a quiet apology, before shooting another glare at the man in black's taunting face. he sticks his tongue out, clearly enjoying the hatred emitting from your body.

tightening your hold on your lovers hand, you start running after a'qing, grumbling insults under your breath. xiao xingchen let out a airy chuckle as the scoundral let out a yelp of indignation, before dashing after you.

"xingchen.." a sob ripped through your throat as you cradled the corpse of your lover, unknotting his hair. tears stained his white robes, and you let out another sob as the coarse skin of his fatal blow could be felt under your fingers.

the once warm skin was now ice cold after resting in such a foggy place, which you and your lover once roamed. those lips that blindly kissed you were now cracked and dry, and you leaned down, just one more time to deliver your final kiss.

"i miss you."

Summary: Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen as single dads who meet ugly when their children A-Qing and Xue Yang squabble in school

[sngchngs]

Modern mdzs character headcanons part 2

Xiao Xingchen is a paranormal/monster movie buff. You name it he's probably watched it. He's a human rights and climate change activist. He always has the weirdest signs. E.g. "Fight climate change, or die frying."

Song Lan (outside of his Cultivator night job) is also a human rights and climate change activist. He's the one on the side handing out water bottles and flyers of information about how to protest safely and how not to get caught by authorities. It's how he met Xiao Xingchen.

More under cut ⬇️

A-Qing is a photographer. She takes candid shots of everyday life on the streets. And whenever there's a protest, she's there. Not to photograph the protesters (she got in trouble with Xiao Xingchen for that), but to take pictures of the authorities abusing their power. She's banned on Twitter for posting these pics but has nearly half a million followers on intsa.

In this world, Xue Yang has never killed anyone (he still has all his fingers). He's not an activist, per se. He just loves protesting because when things get volatile, he can be in the thick of it. He's the one punching the cops. Throwing back the smoke bombs. Getting arrested (Xiao Xingchen constantly has to bail him out) and spitting like a cat, hurling abusive words. He's in a lot of A-Qing's photos.

In his free time, Su Minshan likes to do gardening. He grows herbs, annuals, camellias, magnolias, peonies, and a few citrus trees like lemons, oranges, and mandarins.

Ouyang Zizhen is constantly listening to eaudiobooks. Being a member of his local libraries, he has free access to thousands of them, and he takes full advantage of it. His favourite genre is science fiction.

Luo Qingyang is a defence lawyer working at Qin Su's firm. Twice a week, she runs free classes for people of all ages who want to learn cultivation but lack the money or aptitude to get into the big clans. Her husband and daughter are also students of these classes.
