daydreams an elaborate cql au where mianmian saves wen qing from the jins and they run off into the sunset together as a pair of rogue cultivators and then sixteen years later wen qing is reunited with her didi and a-yuan
Came across the template and couldn’t resist The Urge on this nice Saturday. It’s whoever-sees-it’s turn to sort LSZ, LZY into the lines.
We would say… Wen Chao and Wang LingJiao*
*if they weren’t pseudo-ancient-Chinese, hence WLJ could better solidify her position at WC’s side by bearing him a son. Actually curious how in a half year they had together she didn’t end up knocked up. …And what had happened to WC’s official wife during Sunshot Campaign

„I remember him as…sunny,” Sizhui tells her. “His whole personality radiated sunshine and warmth. He was always smiling, always cracking a joke. He loved playing and rough-housing with us kids, but he could also be very gentle if he wanted to. Looking back, he couldn’t have been older than twenty-five; he was probably even younger than that, now that I think about it. But despite the short time we’ve spent together while he was looking after the kids at the orphanage, he always felt like a father to me.”
In which Lan Sizhui goes on a TV show, to find the man he saw as a father figure while he was in the orphanage, and who disappeared one day.
…and who just so happens to be his adoptive father’s long-lost love.

“As you can imagine, it’s not exactly easy to make a whole family disappear. The Wens needed help with getting out of here as quickly as possible, leaving no trace behind. The Wen siblings had met someone during their studies who had sensed the danger the family was in, and in an attempt to help them, had become a target too. So, he took it upon himself to leave his old life behind in order to help the Wens disappear, but also to protect those who were close to him back then. You know this man as…Xian-gege.”
Sizhui drops the two photographs he was still holding. “You are joking,” he says, incredulous.
In which the first steps to a reunion are being taken.

Chapter 5 is out now! Total chapter count has been updated to seven. ♥
“I can still hear you laugh in my mind. I still remember how you told me that you’d plant me in the orphanage’s sandbox like a radish so that I could sprout siblings. I remember how you told me stories about your brother and your sister and how you snuck out at night to steal lotus seeds from the neighbouring lake together. You always wanted to take me there when I’m older.”
In which someone realises just how much he’s being missed.
Wen Qíng was kept alive as leverage on Wen Níng then forgotten in a dungeon. She somehow escaped (perhaps freed by Mò XuánYû before he was kicked out of Lánlíng?) and bumped into MiâMian out on a nighthunt. They live together ever since.
(Cue the fandom joke that MiânMian’s “ordinary” husband is in fact Wen Qíng with a moustache that WWX failed to recognise and LWJ just didn’t care enough to expose)
MiânMian made a baby on her own, I don’t care it was really not an acceptable thing at the time. She helps a lot of people in her area so gossips are not to be spread, otherwise all the mamas and aunties in her neighbourhood will come after you!
[what kind of clothes girls from mdzs/cql would wear if they have lived in xxi century?]
a-qing;
- rather casual style of clothing, maybe a little grunge???
- i think that for the most of the time, she would be wearing oversize and baggy clothes not only because she likes them, but also because she wanted to piss off all these people who were telling her, how shoud she look like. “you’re a girl, why can’t you for once wear something normal, like dresses or skirts, not these beggar’s clothes!" or "you’re so skinny, you should wear things that would reveal your figure more, you would be so popular with boys!”. everytime a-qing would hear this kind of things she would continue to wear even bigger and sloppy clothes with a giant grin, knowing perfectly how much it would irritate other people.
- i doubt she would really care that much about fashion or her appearance (especially that she’s still quite young, so appearance isn’t her priority), but if she would sense that she could gain a profit from looking pretty, she would be the prettiest girl in the streets. but overall, usually even when she wears something more tight-fitting or revealing, she would always try to “cover” her outfit with an oversized jacket/hoodie/anything. not that she’s ashamed of her body, she just feels more comfortable that way.
qin su;
- classy & elegant
- i think that she would be lowkey into clothing from 50s; pencil/circle skirts, swing coats, pearls, maybe some slik gloves. this woman is the definition of a word ‘class’, seriously; her outfits are always on point and give this elegant vibe, even when she’s at home. it’s like the ability of looking good regardless of circumstances runs in her blood. you’ll never catch her looking bad. never. most people look at her with adoration and even a little jealousy (but it’s not a unhealthy kind of jealousy; it’s a mere wishing to be like her, because she seems like she has no flaws at all, and like she lives a perfect life. she’s just goals).
- people rarely believe her when she says she’s in her 30s, because of how young she looks like and oh, it can be a real pain in the ass when you forget to bring your id sometimes, because everyone doubts that you’re an adult even though you’re married and have a kid. wearing some heavier make up helps her looking a little bit closer her real age, but qin su doesn’t really feel good with it, so she wears a lighter version.
luo qingyang
- chic & mature
- she would have similiar mindset like a-qing; even though she likes looking feminine, she rarely wears heels, because they are body-harmful and overall, they aren’t as comfortable as normal shoes. so when she would show up at work, wearing flats and someone would try to say anything about not following the “dress code”, oh my, she would throw a fist. do you remember how kristen stweart ditched her high heels on the red carpet, right before movie premiere and then she went barefoot, saying that “if you’re not asking guys to wear high heels, you cannot ask me either?”. mianmian would definitely be this type of person. like sure, looking pretty and socially acceptable is nice, but feeling comfortable with your entire outfit is even nicer.
- she’s quite of a beauty, so she already attracts some attention within her exceptional figure, but i think that the way she carries herself would be something that makes people look at her the most. there’s something nonchalant about her, the fact that she always goes with her head high and that she seems not to care at all about her surroundings, only focused on what is before her, but at the same time, she doesn’t seem arrogant or anything. just a pure confidence is something that make people *gasp* at her.
Managed to finish this picture today: Wen Qing and MianMian being cute together! Set in my Emperor/Trophy Husband AU which has still taken over my entire life.
To quote the wonderful @cicelythereaper what’s happening in this scene:
wen qing: i’m going to put this flower in mianmian’s hair
wen qing, seeing mianmian look all cute with a flower in her hair: oh no i played myself
