Summary
When trying to transfer Shen Yuan from the real world to Proud Immortal Demon Way, the System runs into an error. The transfer is not complete.
Shen Yuan is dropped off at the foot of a mountain aware of two things: he's in the story, and the Shen Qingqiu of this world is not only aware but thinks he tried to possess his body — and he's PISSED. Shen Yuan tries to opt out and live a simple life on what locals tell him is a monster-infested mountain no one in their right mind would bother with.
Sounds like a great hiding spot!

💌 Please note I am very behind on replies. I have full intentions of catching up, but my spoons for this are sporadically available. I appreciate them tremendously, always.

Summary
At the first opportunity, Jin Guangshan sold his bastard daughter off, like a cow to the butcher.
He valued her meat more than her person. A fatal mistake.
***
A discovery about Jin Guangyao's identity on her lover Qin Su's birthday sets her on a new path - to the altar alongside her sworn brother. The wrong sworn brother.
Unexpected allies come together as tensions rise around Wei Wuxian, his Wen remnants, and secret defiances left and right against the postwar order. New sects rise up from humble foundations and old sects fight among themselves. Assassins creep in the darkness, preying on weak commonfolk and strong sect leaders alike.
Jin Guangyao and her sworn brothers wage another, quieter war and build a new peace.

Summary
She should be strong for them. She should hold them and tell them everything would be all right. All she could do was stand there and cry.
“What happened, child?” Lao Wang asked softly, staring at the tangle of her brothers. His hands were firmly set on his cane, but there was something soothing about his presence in that moment. It helped that he wasn’t actually looking at her when she started to speak.
“Father…Sect Leader Jiang found out that my brother and I are not his children. Our mother was an adulteress.” She took a deep breath, wrapping her arms around herself, starting to shake. “He…he kicked us out.”

Summary
It turned out that all Meng Yao had to do to turn his fortunes in life around was find a beautiful man in a ditch, save his life by wagering his own cultivation, and allow everyone to assume they were legitimately married.
(or: Meng Yao vs every single marriage-related trope: FIGHT.)

Summary
This fic owes its inspiration to Set that crown on the ground by Yeats in which rather than being accepted into the Jin sect as a son after the Sunshot campaign, Meng Yao is given a pouch of money and a letter from Jin Guangshan inviting him to take up the leadership of the Moling Meng sect, under the patronage of the Jin sect.
It’s obvious in the fic that this is just a way of getting rid of Meng Yao, without having to legitimize him. Meng Yao is insulted and accepts Lan Xichen’s offer to bring him into the Lan sect instead. But I thought, “Honestly that’s a pretty sweet deal. I would like to see what a Moling Meng sect would be like.” So this fic is an attempt at imagining what might have happened if Meng Yao had accepted.
Thank you to JMO2244 for finding Yeats' fic for me :) (Which it turns out I did not remember as well as I thought!)
