A Yiling Matriarch!JYL/ChengXian ABO AU

A Yiling Matriarch!JYL/ChengXian ABO AU

Specifically, I wanted to talk about a reimagining of the scene where the four major sects convene at Nightless City to discuss how to deal with the Yiling Patriarch, who is alpha!JYL in this case. 

@lazilylurking and I were tossing around ideas, and basically:

Alpha!JC is still the YMJ’s sect leader in this AU, and as such, he attends the conference, but he doesn’t go with the intention to lend aid. Instead, he wishes to dissuade the others from attacking his sister. 

Unfortunately, JYL misunderstood her brother and thought he would lay siege on her and the Wen remnants alongside the others.

She called JC a traitor in front of the other sects, cursed him with so much venom, JC could hardly recognize her.

“A-Jie!”

“You have the audacity to address me so affectionately after you plot to destroy me?” 

Nothing he said got through to her until an impulsive youth at the conference attacked her, resulting in their death and leading into what becomes known as the Bloodbath of Nightless City. 

The sibling of the impulsive youth sought to avenge them and lunged at JYL with their blade, but JYL is shielded by her brother, who takes a fatal blow to the heart. 

“A-...A-Cheng?” 

A wet cough. “Are you all right, A-Jie?” 

She let out a blood-curdling wail as her brother bled out in her arms, hardly registering his gentle hand on her cheek and his last words: “Don’t forget: I love you, A-Jie.”  

That day, she lost her brother, and omega!WWX lost his husband and father of his twin daughters. 

When news reached Lotus Pier that Sect Leader Jiang was dead, supposedly murdered by his own sister, WWX was inconsolable, the weight of it all so heavy that he seemed to dissociate from the world. He only awoke from his episodes to tend to his infant daughters.  

The YMJ still needed a leader, however, and with Lianqi (莲祺) and Lianzhen (莲祯) too young, he had to take up the mantle of sect leader, but he insisted on being referred to as Madame Jiang. The title of sect leader was reserved for JC and Lianqi.

Some afterthoughts: 

In this universe, omega!WCZ survived the night hunt that canonically killed him and alpha!CSSR. Heavily but not mortally injured, he made it back to the inn WWX was left at and took him to Yunmeng, where he resumed his position as JFM’s personal attendant, and WWX was allowed to become a Jiang disciple. (There was no way he could raise WWX single-handedly without a more stable situation.) As a result of this change, WWX grew up with more discipline since WCZ was the docile one in his marriage with a strict sense of duty. 

After JC dies, Zidian gets back to WWX, but he doesn’t have the heart to wear the ring; so, it hangs around his neck on a silk cord.  

On that note, however, what if JC gave Zidian to JYL before he died? She can’t use it, but he doesn’t know that, and he hopes his gift will help keep her alive. 

Gossip has misconstrued her possession of Zidian as her having stolen it as her brother died. 

After the Siege of the Burial Mounds, the artifact still gets back to WWX, who somehow knows JYL didn’t steal it and begrudgingly understands why JC would leave it to her versus him.

Regardless, WWX clutches the ring whenever he feels he needs his late husband’s strength to get him through a tough time, sometimes talking to it as if it can act as a conduit to JC’s spirit.

Down the road, I see him giving up Zidian to Lianzhen and Sandu to Lianqi, hoping that his husband’s greatest weapons will watch over them.

I think this is a mental stance I need to take. All of this stuff I’ve been hearing about MDZS, the fans, the antis, has driven my anxiety through the roof at times. I’m prone to catastrophizing, and the cold, hard truth of the matter is that I don’t know crap about what’s going on overseas or how they work. All I know is hearsay; so, I need to take to a step back and just realize that, not only is the situation, whatever it may be, out of my hands, I don’t even have the full story. It all comes back to “What do I know?” -shrugs-

But, yeah, this was a good post, and I thought I’d share this. 

I'm not sure but maybe the previous anon might refer to the situation with mdzs fans, you can find info on manhua-assistant blog.

If the previous anon was talking about mdzs, then I don’t think the incident will affect the donghua. If anything, it will make the staff even more careful about the BL elements of the donghua for fear of the censorship office. The truth is that Cornetto is making a hell of money from their mdzs-themed ice-cream shop, both TGCF and MDZS have been on jjwxc’s top charts for ages, and there’s no reason to think that the donghua will be any different.

By the way, I think manhua-assistant was pushing 2 different topics together. The post made by the author on weibo was aiming at the fans who were flaming mzy, the actress of Wen Qing, online over the rumors about Wen Qing Ling, not the teacher’s committing suicide incident. It’s an entirely different drama of its own. The next post by the author was her apologizing to the fans because while she didn’t change her stance on the fans’ personal attacks on mzy, her words were too heavy-handed (the exact words used were “flesh-eating”, in a referencing to Lu Xun’s story, A Mad Man’s Diary).

I should also note that mxtx has a lot of antifans who will twist every single things mxtx and the fans do into sth horrific. The author has been accused of plagiarism (with little evidence for the crime), has been accused of paying people to make music and arts to advertise her works, has been accused of just paying lip service when she told the fans to not attack mzy personally. The fandom itself has also been repeatedly accused of being too rabid and kept mention mdzs all over the place.

Personally, I take all those accusations with a grain of salt. Antis are going to be antis. Same with the story of the teacher. Unless proper verification is made (like who the teacher is, which region she comes from, does she exist as an actual person or is this just another internet rumor, the exact reason why she commits suicide, for all we know, if the person exists, she could have committed suicide over an entirely differently reason, what is the result of the authority’s investigation, etc.), I believe in nothing.

Honestly, we need more stuff like this. 

Guys I got my hands on a deleted scene of Mo Dao Zu Shi 😩👌💦

Ya’ll can blame @jae-duhb for these. I love this au though.

“Don’t I look better with my mane down?”
