I Don't See How People See Those Rules As Hard To Follow Smh XD

I don't see how people see those rules as hard to follow smh XD

They seem quite easy and simple to me, despite the high number.

So, I heard you’ve been wondering what are the 3000 rules of Gusu Lan Sect?

See that wall? It’s the Lan Sect’s Wall of Discipline that appeared for 2 seconds in MDZS Episode 2. Some very diligent soul on Weibo actually went to read the texts carved on that Wall. Probably with a magnifying glass. No joke. Like, seriously, no joke.

Here goes all the rules that she managed to read out - translated hopefully not horrendously by Tumblr user my-otp-list.

Bonus - An actual rule that was added by Lan Qiren after WWX and LWJ got together:

“Do not get near Wei Ying”

No, I’m not kidding.

*The Five Poisons in ancient Chinese belief: Referring to the five poisonous animals that commonly appear in early summer, namely snake - scorpion - centipede - toad - spider.

Could you please do Zixian?

Oh ho boy.

Zixian:

-Big big tsundere rich boy and dense fuck rule-breaking genius boy. What to not love?

-At first, Jin Zixuan and Wei Wuxian, as we all know, were not on good terms. At all. Nope, not even one bit.

-Sometimes, Jin Zixuan felt like, if Wei Wuxian were a cat, he would be hissing at him whenever he saw him, but seemingly controlled himself to not to. After all, he was still his beloved Shijie’s fiancé no matter how much undeserving of her he was.

-So, Wei Wuxian would glare and curse at him when he could, but held himself back. Shijie still liked the damn peacock, after all.

-But now, how did the Jin Sect Heir fell for the obnoxious, annoying troublemaker at first place?

-He can't really tell. It just… happened suddenly. He didn't think he could ever get along with Wei Wuxian even if he respected and admired the other’s talents and skills but--

-Then, when he saw the determined gaze whenever he talked about Jiang Yanli (So fierce, yet so full love; the love he couldn't get from the bastards of his father or the defensive love from his mother who was ever strict with him but never tried defending him from anything-- He was spoiled and could have everything, but was lonely, so why that plain, plain girl got someone to love her so much? What was special about her?), Jin Zixuan felt envy. Why he didn't have someone as devoted and strong as Wei Wuxian at his side and Jiang Yanli had?

-Envy turned into rage. Rage turned into confusion. Confusion turned into silent admiration. And admiration… Well, he couldn't tell. Why did whenever he saw Wei Wuxian now, his heart started speeding up and blood rushed to his face? Why did his stomach started to… to knot so pleasantly yet so strangely at his sight? Why?

-Then, Jin Zixuan realized one day, he would be such a better match than Jiang Yanli. He had frozen on spot, mentally slapping himself for the thought, because yes, Wei Wuxian was better looking, more talented, smarter, unique, but he was a man. And he was a Sect Heir.

-He decided to (try to) forget it, but now whenever he thought about the mean things he said about Jiang Yanli in Wei Wuxian’s presence, he felt a sense of dread and regret. No, no. That's not how it is supposed to be.

-Wei Wuxian still couldn't stand the Young Mistress, but then one day, out of the blue, a fidgety, distressed-looking Jin Zixuan walks to him, red-faced and slow, looking at his shoes as if they were the most interesting thing on existence.

-With his head low and eyes deep closed in… embarrassment? No, that can't be. That damn arrogant peacock would never as much as to feel shame by any of the ridiculous things he had ever said! But then Jin Zixuan finally speaks up, voice strangely low and stammering.

-“I am… I am sorry for all the words I spoke about Maiden Jiang…” It was so low, Wei Wuxian couldn't barely caught up on what he said had it been any lower.

-Wei Wuxian had stared at him incredulously, his genius brain coming up with a single word, a single question: “What?” He was-- he was apologizing? The Young Mistress? Surely, hell must have frozen over for such a thing came to be!

-Jin Zixuan had flinched slight, then spoke higher in the solely embarrassment he was going through in his nervous splendor: “I said I am sorry for bad mouthing her! I really am, alright?!”

-Granted, Wei Wuxian didn't believe at him at first. After all those years, only now Jin Zixuan apologies and he thinks Wei Wuxian would just accept it like a forgiving fool? Ha! As if!

-“Prove it.” “I am speaking the trut- Par-pardon?” “I said, prove it.”

-Jin Zixuan wasn't a fool. He knew his half-assed (to Wei Wuxian, and to Jiang Cheng as well if he were there, which was good he wasn't because Jin Zixuan didn't think he would be able to deal with the Jiang Sect Heir) wasn't very believable to him. Jin Zixuan, now, honestly regretted it, however. But how to prove? Honestly, he didn't think that far.

-“I…” “Can't, huh? Just as expected.”

-Jin Zixuan’s face burned in shame. He felt like just turning on his heel and sprinting away like his life depended on it. Damn, he didn't know how to deal with a situation like that!

-After that disaster, Jin Zixuan avoided Wei Wuxian like he was the plague. Not that he would admit it.

-Wei Wuxian didn't know what he expected, but he felt disappointed nonetheless. Why did he think the peacock was any good for a moment anyway?! Idiot!

-... But, he didn't seem like he was lying. The Jin Sect Heir definitely wasn't the type to bow to someone of Wei Wuxian’s status (a servant’s son, Madam Yu’s rage filled voice taunted him) and he looked so… conflicted when Wei Wuxian said those words.

-... Damn it, now he felt bad! He isn't supposed to feel bad about the peacock, but his heart didn't listen to him. It heavined like those lifts Madam Yu made them train with, except it was on his chest.

-So, when Wei Wuxian could no longer bear it, he stormed to where the hell Jin Zixuan was at and spoke loudly: “Young Master Jin! How good to see you! Wanna take look at the gardens with me? Of course you do!”

-Wei Wuxian didn't give him time to answer and just grabbed his arm and yanked him away, ignoring the blasphemed looks and shouts the other Jin Sect members gave him as he took Jin Zixuan with him, not looking back to see the other’s face and also forgetting that the Cloud Recesses didn't have gardens. And also ignoring that he broke some rules, he could live with that.

-Jin Zixuan let himself be, momentarily shocked to react in any way until Wei Wuxian stopped near a tree and looked at him with (always) determined grey eyes.

-“Listen, I am not convinced you're feeling bad about my Shijie, but I am going to give you a chance because she likes you! Be grateful I didn't tell Jiang Cheng anything.”

-Jin Zixuan listened in silence, brows furrowed hilariously and mouth slightly agape. Just what--? Wei Wuxian was… giving him a chance to prove himself?

-After that, they became more passive with each other. But… Jin Zixuan gaze lingered on the other far too long, Wei Wuxian now started smiling at him genuinely, completely ignoring the Second Jade of Lan whom he once he couldn't get enough of teasing to.

-Jiang Cheng was suspicious, and gave sharp eyes to Wei Wuxian, but when the Jin Sect Heir didn't seem to mind anymore the remarks and the nonsense Wei Wuxian sprouted to him, Jiang Cheng could only see himself become more and more confused. Just what was going on with those two?

-They became closer as time went by, Wei Wuxian started hanging around and Jin Zixuan invited him to the Caiyi Town once, then twice, then thrice, then… Just went going.

-It was strange, but Jin Zixuan felt warm around him, felt his palms sweating nervously whenever he waited for Wei Wuxian to come to encounter him before going to the Caiyi Town. He felt his cheeks flaring up more and more when the other laughed and-- and--

-Until one day, Jin Zixuan couldn't take it anymore when Wei Wuxian spoke about his engagement with Jiang Yanli.

-“...No.” “...What?” “Not her. I-- She isn't the one.”

-Wei Wuxian was confused. Didn't Jin Zixuan want to prove himself so he could be more worthy of Shijie?

-Meanwhile, Jin Zixuan felt like he could just die from embarrassment there and then. Just what nonsense did he just sprout?!

- “What do you mean she isn't the one? Are you saying she isn't good enough?”

-Wei Wuxian could feel his anger flaming up. Just when he thought the peacock wasn't so bad! He should have thought better.

-“No! That's not it! It- it is you! You're the one!”

-Silence echoed and so Jin Zixuan could be buried alive and he wouldn't care. Wei Wuxian was dead ass confused. What the hell?

-After that incident, Jin Zixuan loudly declared he would start courting Wei Wuxian no matter the consequences. After that scandal, the engagement had been broke off, Madam Jin’s rage not being enough to stop Jin Zixuan.

-Wei Wuxian was in an awkward state. He didn't want to hurt his Shijie and-- the peacock was into him? Like, seriously? He knew he was handsome and all but-- It was just a shock.

-Jin Zixuan had come stumbling next to him and cited a sappy poem (to this day on Wei Wuxian wasn't sure if he wrote that or he paid someone else to, but laughed his ass off to it as Jin Zixuan blushed deeply at the memory), praising his beauty and so on.

-Madam Yu and his siblings and Uncle were… rather off with the whole ordeal (he swore Zidian’s lighting was much more intensified than usual, and Wei Wuxian wasn't sure with whom she was angry with. Most likely with him, for sure). (He also felt like Jiang Cheng was being more aggressive with Jin Zixuan, too, as of now the engagement had been broke and he was letting out all the pent up anger. Wei Wuxian didn't expect his Shijie to smile at Jin Zixuan passive-aggressively rather than being sad. It was… good, though. He didn't want to make his Shijie feel bad in any way no matter what, but-- Was she really alright with it….?)

-Uncle Jiang had let out a frown, unsure on what to make of the situation. But-- “Whatever A-Xian wants is alright with me.” Madam Yu had given her husband a fierce glare at that.

-That was the question. What did Wei Wuxian want? He thought about as Jin Zixuan (yet again) come to him and offered a gift. Wei Wuxian was surprised he didn't expect the other to give him anything-- so far it has been sappy poems, awkward praises and stumbling declarations.

-It was a flute. A Dizi, to be specific. Wei Wuxian was confused on why Jin Zixuan would give him something like that-- He never told the other he could play and wasn't the Dizi a peasant’s instrument by the other’s standards? … Though it was very well made-- beautiful carvings in darkened gold (he mentally snorted) and a jade pendant connected to the flute by a silk thread.

-“Why… a flute?” “B-because… it reminded of you. I heard Nie Huaisang saying you could play so I--!”

-("Hey, why it reminded you of me? It is all golden and fancy! Just like you." "... Please, just appreciate it.")

-Wei Wuxian had laughed. Laughed so joyously and loudly, Jin Zixuan had stood there with a confused expression even as he held out the Dizi to him. He knew what he wanted.

- “A-alright,” He spoke as his laugh ceased. “I accept your feelings, Young Master Jin~ Not even you could resist my charms, heh?”

-He took the flute and smiled sincerely to the other; a beautiful, sun-like smile. “I am naming it ‘Chenqing’, for it is a sign of your- our feelings.”

-They were happy. Really. Even after they left Gusu, they started to go on night hunts together and even if they had their problems, they managed it.

-Jin Zixuan didn't know how his beloved could take all that spice, but ate it if made Wei Wuxian happy. He would regret it next, but just a bit.

-They missed each other a lot, for both had duties to attend but-- they were meant to each other. Jin Zixuan knew it, he knew.

-Wei Wuxian would play the flute for them when they were together and alone, calming as Jin Zixuan lied down with his head resting on Wei Wuxian’s lap, watching the sunset as the lotus painted the scenery on the lake at Lotus Pier.

-Once, they had a fight after Jin Zixuan had himself injured on a night hunt (“Why you stood on my way!” “My body moved on its own! I can't help it!”) and didn't talk for a while. Wei Wuxian sulked. Jin Zixuan fought the urge to go to his beloved when he saw the other’s eyes.

-(Jiang Yanli had given them both an earful after a while, when she saw those stubborn fools wouldn't mend it on their own. Jin Zixuan now knew how terrifying she could be.)

-Jin Zixuan had awkwardly apologized and Wei Wuxian just mumbled something and smiled, saying he was just relieved Jin Zixuan was fine. They hugged and cuddled the whole day after that.

-Jin Zixuan started calling his partner 'A-Ying' one day. Wei Wuxian couldn't be more happier.

-Soon, Jin Zixuan found himself with some lovesick nicknames, courtesy of Wei Wuxian. (He didn't mind, both of they had reached the stage of sickeningly sweethearts at this point.)

Wen Sect: *Happens*

Sorry boios I tried my best I will do more if someone asks…! (Next, Ningxian and Xiyao in separated posts ^^)

This is so wholesome

In my next life I will be reborn as #the grandmaster of demonic cultivation.

Man do you ever think about how many places Zuko has broken into? Like

The Western Air Temple (twice), which was canonically built so that it could only be reached with airbending

(It’s also implied he broke into the other three too)

The Northern Water Tribe, whose defenses hadn’t been breeched in 100 years and was also currently under siege

Pohuai stronghold, which was on high red alert after capturing the fucking Avatar

Avatar Roku’s temple, mostly notable because he broke through a naval blockade to get there (dude wtf)

Lake Laogi, the secret underground headquarters of Ba Sing Se’s evil secret police that is also crawling with Earth benders

(Ba Sing Se at large doesn’t count since they forged their papers)

The Fire Nation capital’s prison, where the main threat to the Fire Lord’s rule (Iroh) was imprisoned for months

His own family’s vacation home (this isn’t an achievement I just thought it was funny)

A thousand+ year old sacred site dedicated the first firebenders that was also full of booby traps, Indiana Jones style, because why not

The Boiling Rock, the highest security prison in the Fire Nation

The headquarters of the Southern Raiders, an elite naval force on an island in the middle of nowhere

The Fire Nation’s royal palace, which was admittedly mostly empty at the time but still had Azula in it

His own family’s vacation home (again) after getting banished (again)

these #jiang cheng posts are high in protein.
