#don’t quote me on this btw there could totally be an ancient Chinese explanation for why a younger sibling would be chosen

The funniest thing about reading mdzs royalty au’s is when Lan Wangji is the emperor, but there’s zero explanation why he was chosen over his older brother, Lan Xichen.

Like, I don’t know much about Asian royalty dynamics, but I’m pretty sure the eldest of full siblings is before the younger in line for the throne…

#from my understanding younger siblings are only in front of older siblings if they’re half siblings from different ranking mothers #I’d get it if the explanation made them half brothers but they never do #one at least explained it by something to do with gold eyes being the sign of heaven’s blessing and lan xichen not having gold eyes #but other then that I’m usually just left confused #don’t quote me on this btw there could totally be an ancient Chinese explanation for why a younger sibling would be chosen #I just don’t know in depths about ancient Asian culture #mdzs #mdzs fandom #mdzs lwj #mxtx mdzs #mdzs fanfiction #mdzs fic #mxtx fandom #mxtx novels #mxtx #mxtx characters #mxtx hell #mxtx fanfic #mo xiang tong xiu #mo dao su zhi #lan wangji #grand master of demonic cultivation #grandmaster of demonic arts #grandmaster of demonic cultivation #the grandmaster of demonic cultivation #the grandmaster of diabolism #lan zhan #mdzs lan wangji #mdzs lan zhan #lan xichen
