Jiang Cheng wakes up at Lotus Pier, her childhood home. Her abdomen aches when she sits up, and she falls back onto the bed she is lying on, disoriented and bewildered. The place is familiar, but strange

- as if she is meant to be somewhere else, and her siblings come visit her, Wei Wuxian barreling in followed by her serene A-Jie. They fuss over how she is feeling, faces growing dark when she mentions the pain in her stomach, sharing glances at each other, and she demands to

be privy to their thoughts.

"It's nothing, Jiang Cheng," Wei Wuxian finally says, after what it seems like a whole silent conversation with A-Jie, which only makes her more suspicious. "You were sick, that's all."

Whatever discretion they tried to give her is shattered by

While they are courting, Lan Xichen tells her everything. Lets his dragon horns, as white as snow, slowly protrude out of his forehead, lapping scales cover his jawline and a long, white tail emerge from under his clothes. His brown eyes turn gold and irises sharpen into slits.

"I'm a dragon, my heart." He murmurs softly, and she can see the nervousness on his face. She gapes, stepping forward to run a finger along the scales on his face and hands, touches his horns, which makes him shiver. "A-Ah, those are sensitive."

She can touch them, they are real

and she is not dreaming, her lover is a dragon.

"Can you change into a dragon completely?" She asks, and he nods with wide eyes.

"I had no idea dragons were real," Jiang Cheng admits, "but. Um. Here you are."

A dragon that's- "very handsome." She murmurs automatically, a blush

"Mama!" With large, shining round eyes and chubby cheeks, a five-year-old Jiang Cheng is unrestrained and full of wonder, looking at his mother and pointing at the First Young Master Lan next to Sect Leader Lan at the front of the arriving Gusu Lan delegation - "It's a fairy!"

Yu Ziyuan jerks to look at her son, before quickly snapping, "It's rude to point! And greet out guests properly!"

"But he's handsome like one!" Jiang Cheng pouts.

"Don't be rude!"

Eight-year-old Lan Xichen has a startled look on his face that soon morphs into a genuine smile-

at the innocent compliment he was just given. He salutes the little Young Master of Lotus Pier in return, eyes turning into crescents full of mirth as the younger boy stares at him in awe, like he's never seen anything so splendid.

so annoying that we come into existence with expectations like ohh you're a kid you have to study and get good grades etc and then when you're an adult you have to work and pay taxes and invest and all that shit like what the fuck. what the fuck. Why do I have to do this bullshit

this is like quasi buddhist but like so many pressures and constructs are man made like academics and consumerism and "family honour" like it's perfectly fine to like pretty things or have goals like a career or profession you want to do or accomplishments you have but so much

other shit is completely optional. We're all made of dirt and we just live here like every other human or every other living creature and we're insignificant in the scale of the universe like we can just chill, no one cares, we have limited time so make the most out of it

xicheng, jc-centric, fem!jc modern AU + canon fix-it, transmigration(?)

Jiang Cheng's phone buzzes, and she looks away from her book - [The History of YunMeng Jiang - Destruction and Rebirth] to check her smartphone. The time of 2245 shines back with a message notification.

It's from Lan Huan, and she smiles. [I know it's late...] She unlocks her phone to see the entire message, [but I've just finished a chapter and I just can't think anymore! Want to get supper as a break from studying?]

Studying. Yes. She's supposed to be studying. Her eyes

flick over the business administration textbooks lying on her desk that she hasn't touched since semester lectures ended for the revision breaks before their exams - said exams less than a week away.

Yet here she is, indulging himself by reading about her favourite subject
