MDZS spoilers
We as a fandom do not talk enough (and I say this because I haven't seen anyone mention this yet) about how outright abusive Jin Guangyao was to Nie Mingjue. I believe this abuse is so underrated because not only does Nie Mingjue not fit the stereotype of a victim, but he never truly realises that he's being abused.
- The betrayal of his trust.
- Being forced to bow to the man who killed his parents.
- Getting captured, having his subordinates killed, and getting handed over to the damn Wens during the m*th*r fucking war, when JGY knew damn well that Mingjue would be stressing on whether or not he'd ever see his brother again, just to pull the ✨"It was all a part of my ultimate plan" 😌✨ ruse so that Lan Xichen would like him more.
- Being gaslit every time he tried to call JGY out on his crimes.
- Doubting his own judgement.
- Having his own brother pull away from him because JGY understands him more.
And that's just the stuff I can remember.
"Mingjue you're bigger than him, stronger than him, more privileged than him, why do you insist on hating poor Mengyao who does nothing but respect you."
And Mingjue can't reply. He doesn't know how explain that man is evil in a way that Lan Xichen will understand. Because the evil comes out only when its him. The evil comes out when it knows Nie Mingjue has no proof. And Mingjue thinks he's safe, because he is in fact bigger, stronger and more powerful. So what really can that little guy do to him?

hey, quick question: do you think lan xichen ever played inquiry for nie mingjue after he died? do you think he played night after night just to say goodbye to his husband sworn brother? do you think he cried when nmj, trapped inside his own severed head, never responded to him? do you think the twin jades are more alike than we'll ever really know?
and if so: do you think jin guangyao slowly put a stop to lxc's mourning in this way? do you think he saw the fluttering talismans that kept nmj trapped beginning to fray with the continuous onslaught of lan spiritual power and so he gently soothed his er-ge, distracted him and wrapped him ever tighter around his finger?
do you think nie huaisang watched this all happen, watched lxc gradually seem to forget nmj, to move on? do you think that when he forced lxc's hand at the end, when he made him kill jgy, do you think he found it poetic?

Are those little dolls made to look like 3zun as animals in the most recent comic? I need to know how/when Nie Mingjue got those. Are they gifts from Lan Xichen or Nie Huaisang? Did Jin Guangyao sew them himself and stuff them full of evil talismans in case the song didn't work? So many possibilities.
Tumblr media
The 3zun dolls were a self-indulgent reference to this (previously abandoned) doodle! As for who made them in universe? I'll leave it up for interpretation B*)

I'm a little bit insane about how in novel canon the whole xiyao ending where Jin Guangyao wants to die with Xichen, who accepts, which then makes jgy change his mind and pushes him away at the last second isn't actually explicit. A lot of adaptations chose to make it so but in the novel this is all VERY up for interpretation.
Here's what actually happens in the text: Lan xichen stabs jgy, jgy moves away from lan xichen, xichen follows him, wwx realizes jgy is about to open the coffin and calls "watch out!" to lan xichen. Jgy unseals nmj, pushes xichen away, nmj kills jgy and they are both dragged into the coffin which is sealed again.
Here's what wei wuxian, our narrator, thinks is happening: Jin Guangyao wanted to lead lan xichen to his death out of revenge for stabbing him. Lan Xichen, unaware, simply followed Jin Guangyao to try and stop him from getting away. Wei wuxian's warning came too late, but Jin Guangyao- for an unknown reason- changed his mind at the last second and pushed lan xichen out of danger before lan xichen had any idea of what was going on.
Here's what most fans as well as the teams behind several adpatations think is happening: Jin Guangyao leads Xichen to nmj's coffin to die with him, Xichen accepts, because of this acceptance, proof xichen still cares for him, Jin Guangyao pushes him out of harm's way. Wei Wuxian just doesn't get that gay people who aren't him or Lan Wangji exist.
Here's what ALSO MIGHT BE HAPPENING: Jin guangyao wants to die in a different way than he is currently dying. Maybe he's afraid of what'll happen to his body after his death like he was scared for his mother's, maybe he wants to confront nmj one last time now that there's nothing more for him to lose, maybe - if he can't take her body with him- he'd at least like his final resting place to be where he buried his mother. Lan Xichen thinks he's trying to get away and follows but Jin Guangyao, who despite everything doesn't want him to die, pushes him away. Xichen doesn't know what happened until it's already happened. What he would've wanted if he had known remains up in the air.
Or, alternatively: Jin Guangyao's reasons are as above, but unbeknowst to Wei Wuxian, Xichen DOES know what jgy is about to do and either misinterprets this as an invitation to all die together, or inidividually decides he, too, is done, and wants to join his sworn brothers in the grave. To Jin Guangyao this has nothing to do with Lan Xichen, and he still doesn't want him to die, so he pushes him away against Lan Xichen's wishes.
Every single one of these interpretations is unhinged and they are all supported by the original text. It's like a choose your own adventure of tragic gay endings.
#mdzs#mdzs meta#meng yao#jin guangyao#lan xichen#nie mingjue#3zun#xiyao#rs: i wish it could've been you#honestly which is worse for xichen. Being denied his wish explicitly or only realizing he wanted it after it'd already been denied for him#OR genuinely not wanting to die but being forced to live with the fact that even after he essentially killed him jgy still saved his life#just another way he's in his debt#like no matter what he's not coming out of here okay#i switch between a bunch of these all the time but actually favor the last 2 because they're very underexplored in my opinion#I like it when 'i never even thought about hurting you' remains true to the bitter end. He never even considered it#also I just... have a lot of feelings about that being his mom's coffin#do you remember that in the novel the coffin was so heavy only sect leaders could bear the weight?#so for the burial a group of sect leaders had to be the pallbearers... the SYMBOLISM GUYS!! THE SYMBOLISM!#jgy dies in infamy but despite everything it's the highest of cultivation society who carry the coffin he's buried in#he's in the same coffin as a great sect leader!! As nmj!! After a whole life fighting an uphill battle finally in death they are equal#it's not justice and it's not fair but it's... something#wwx's interpretation is the one i favour the least. sorry bro you remain an unreliable narrator to me.#it feels rather uncharitable towards jgy which makes sense for wwx's pov but makes it not my favorite#there's an alternative version of that intepretation where jgy THINKS he's doing the coffin trio pact and thinks xichen accepts.#and has the same realization of oh no he still cares I don't want him to die and pushes lxc away#meanwhile lan xichen hasn't actually processed any of this because it all happened in about 0.4 seconds#i like that one slightly more but it's still not my favorite#there's tragedy in the misunderstanding but it's a bit convoluted.

Back at it again saying that I don't think NHS had friends or close relationships with any of his peers (which is why JGY's betrayal probably cut even deeper; he's the one person I think NHS developed a bond with besides NMJ).
The fact that none of the sect heirs in NHS's generation have close ties is a clear illustration of how much war colored any connection they could've had and why it's a sign of new beginnings that the junior quartet have the friendship that they do.

Jin Guangyao blinks before senses start to return to him. He blinks again at his father (how is he alive? shouldn't he be? should he?) who's looking at him expectantly. He turns his head and sees Lan Xichen (oh, Er-ge...) looking at him benevolently and beside him Nie Mingjue (oh, Da-ge...) frowning in displeasure but for once - not at him. And then he remembers. Everything. For a second his smile falls and his eye twitch, he's incandescently furious inside. Then the mask slips back. But he's changed.
He bows.
-Sect Leader Jin, this one is honored by your offer, but as you clearly stated before, this one's a whore's son and not fit to be in the Jin Sect. I acted on my own since I left the Nie Sect so all the deeds I may have done are beholden to me only. If Cultivational world sees fit to reward me, I will humbly accept on my own behalf.
He leaves and later receives his rewards but mostly withdraws, waiting.
When Wei Wuxian comes to find his Wens he intercepts and goes with him. They make it in time to save Wen Ning's life and many more prisoners than the last time.
He follows Wei Wuxian to Yiling but stops him from going to the Mounds.
-I was gifted the city of Yiling and some land around it, Wei-gongzi. There's no need to live in the graveyard.
He proceeds to sponsor Wei-Wen people, while coercing and manipulating Wei Wuxian in creating or doing all sort of things (like fixing the Nie's saber problem) until Wei Wuxian finds himself a well connected and supported Sect Leader of Yiling Wei Sect with two most able and ferocious advisors, and also a single father of a three-year old. Single until a very well written proposal to Sect Leader Lan goes from Yiling. Lan Wangji comes with courting gifts before the week ends.
Same year, after a Qin related scandal, Jin Guangshan is deposed as Chief cultivator. Meng Yao becomes the next one with the backing of all great sects and Yiling Laozu. Jin Sect doesn't get a break until Jin Zixuan becomes Sect leader.

The Dadliest Chat (3zun Group Text)--Modern 3zun raise Jingyi AU
[Modern 3zun Tag] [Ao3 series]
[This was a lot of fun and the first thing I have written in a WHILE, so I just let myself go for it and write whatever. Therefore the vibe is a little all over the map; slice of life, fluff, lil' bit of lemon, a bit of angst and trauma work, but mostly just sort of day in the life look at 3zun's group chat as fathers! A-Fu is about 10 months old in this.
CW: dirty talk, lemon (I'm leery of tagging more cause I don't wanna get flagged because Tunglr™, but they sometimes have adult convos over text, ya know?]

A-Yao: Is he in pain?

Da-ge: sunburn can do that
Da-ge: you didn’t do anything wrong
Da-ge: its a fact of life and all kids will get sunburn

HOLY SHIT A FELLOW YUELIUJIU ENJOYER. thank you SO MUCH for indulging my yueliu request and making it even better. do you have any yueliujiu concepts running around your mind? i've seen your other svsss concepts and they're just - fuck - absolutely brilliant. i want to write them so bad.
LMAO HELP BTW OMG HI THAT GENUINELY MADE ME PUT MY HAND ON MY HEART BC FLATTERED IDK I CANT GRAMMAR BUT ANYWAY. YES PLS DO WRITE BEGGING ON MY HANDS AND KNEES (also i have no idea where ur 2nd ask after this one went its gone from my inbox and i have no idea how tumblr works so IM SORRY FKSNFKS)
THEIR DYNAMIC DRIVES ME CRAZY. THEYRE A TRIANGLE. THEYRE THE MOST STABLE SHAPE DESPITE BEING SO OPPOSITE. THEY BALANCE EACH OTHER OUT.
(warning this goes super super long😇)
yqy. hes the water to lqg's fire and sqq's wind (which stokes fire). hes the calming rain during the sunset after a burning afternoon. hes the still waters as compared to the extreme winds. BUT. LIKE AN OCEAN. THERES SO MUCH GOING ON UNDERNEATH THE UNMOVING SURFACE.
this is where liujiu come in. theyre the fearless divers who readily plunge. while others may point and talk about how idyllic a lake is, theyre the ones to swim to the middle and see how deep it runs. thing is, the two of them are Wired to actively seek out the truth. its one of the few things they have in common, fiery temper aside. that is Exactly what our dear qige needs. HE NEEDS MORE PEOPLE TO SEE PAST HIS AMICABLE, LIKABLE MASK
not that hes an unlikeable person at heart, thats subjective but like u get what i mean right. BASICALLY he goes out of his way to be liked by everyone, but in doing so shoves all the unlikable parts of himself away. hes a kettle WAITINGGG to explode one day, and it wont be pretty at all
ON THE OTHER HANDD sqq exaggerates all his unlikeable traits to push people away. unlike yqy, who actively tries to bring people closer to him (to a curated ver of him) in a kind of keep your friends close but your enemies closer type of thing, bc at the back of his mind ANYONE can become his enemy and hurt him–its the paranoia talking— sqq keeps everyone at a distance BECAUSE anyone can hurt him.
since lqg Hates people faking things–sqq would argue that exaggeration is NOT faking, actually, and yqy would also add that downplaying isnt either— hed just. do what he does best: fist fight his way into fixing things👍👍
JK BUT NOT RLLY HED ALSO BE THEIR (surprisingly) level-headed anchor when they go through problems as a couple. (i hc him as the type of guy to be the most calm when thrust into times of distress. good hunters and warriors need to be like that. itd be neat if that also carried over into how he dealt with emotional conflicts. like he may seem like the epitome of an emotionally constipated guy–which he is at times–but when it really matters he can be insightful. how he words things out needs to be improved tho, id imagine. but sqq appreciates action over words, and yqy understands lqg as a person, so theres that)
word vomit over yqy is a dog boy, lqg is a cat boy with dog boy tendencies, and sqq is a cat boy B)))
OH AND. AND AND AND. AU WHEREIN YLJ ARE LMY'S PRIMARY GUARDIANS. OH BOY. OHHHHHH BOYEIEYEIEY
PREFERABLY WHEN THEYRE STILL DISCIPLES. maybe baby lmy is present for one of their fights (as in not spar. As in oh shit this is serious business. As in oh shit theyre horrible at communication) and she cries. and so theyre like WOW were so bad at this
qijiu are going down the HORRIBLE mindset of "maybe i should just get away from all this before i make things infinitely worse, like i always do" but lqg strong arms them into sitting at a table and talking things out bc "we may be bad at this but we CAN get better, idiots"
(HOW UNCHARACTERISTIC YOU MAY SAY. BUT. WELL. lets just say lqg got strong armed into doing that by his shizun, who was strong armed into doing it by yqy and sqq's shizuns, who didnt want to do it themselves because reputation purposes and also bc thats troublesome but seeing their disciples pass in slightly subpar work bc of FEELINGS made them actually do something
not the best shizuns but. yea. u dont get disastrous human beings out of nowhere)
their biweekly emotional discussions from hell are the most awkward things the three have ever gone through, BUT! anything for their little meiemei turned semi-daughter
mingyan will forever be proud of them, once shes old enough to understand
AND! AND AND AND AND AND LATER THEY ADOPT LITTLE PALACE MASTER (ON ACCIDENT) AND NYY (NOT ON ACCIDENT)
hngf i just love little palace master too much not to include her, the little brat
okay this gushing is getting super long but thats what tumblrs for
help im jumping from topic to topic but OH WELL. WE WILL NOW BE TOUCHING UPON YLJ AND 3ZUN FROM MDZS PARALLELS
ACTUALLY NOT TOUCHING UPON JUST. SCREAMING ABOUT IT.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i quite wish slash hope jgy (i’m talking about him because he’s my #1 boy but this also goes for jc and xy and probably every character that inspires such takes) didn’t have the fandom just... regurgitating the most random takes and/or treating them as gospel and Such Good, Insightful Meta because it agrees with their Vibe Read of jgy, when said Vibe Read is 99% rooted in fandom and maybe 1% in zanzan’s evil smiles, and Very Little, If At All, rooted in the things that happen in canon.

i need to find more 3zun people to follow i love xi/yao with all my heart and soul but even i get a bit tired of either 1) nmj being entirely erased from 3zun esp when it comes to lxc’s seclusion or 2) nmj being overtly vilified 😭
#i can talk abt nmj for so long but overall my points boil down to#1) yes i believe to some degree he was too harsh on my/jgy#2) yes he being of the gentry shaped his world view#3) he also has understandable reasons to not want to associate with my/jgy#4) we can talk abt nmj and qi deviation but his qi deviation in the story. was not it’s natural progression.#5) he was not bullied into the brotherhood nor was it just to intimidate jgy#and my secret 6)#i don’t necessarily think nmj was wrong for saying that maybe they shouldn’t let a serial killer be in the hands of the sect#when nmj is like the only one stopping them from completely abusing their power#but tbh overall i just get so :/ when lxc’s seclusion is reduced /entirely/ to jgy#like yes! that is such a big part of it! and by god is it heartbreaking!#but also lxc’s seclusion is a culmination of like. the road to hell being paved in good intentions#and how a lot of his active decisions ended up having adverse effects#like i will not deny that nmj was a threat to jgy but also like. he had claims and his qi deviation is quite tragic to me#and like idk i feel like lxc would feel some kind of way abt. u know. the whole song of clarity thing#but also even in the inverse bc i love nielan as well but then there we have jgy as like#more of the fall guy/‘bad’ guy than he already is#which like in hindsight it’s funny trying to find equal content bc 3zun is a mess akdjdjsj#idk i think my overall thoughts is that nmj can be frustrating with how rigid he can be but also like#1) makes sense for the character mxtx has set up#and 2) his fate as both a man and a fierce corpse is so tragic to me#edit: and even more so i know and love that lxc’s seclusion was pushed by jgy’s death#and how a part of lxc died in that temple#but it’s just!!! sometimes i rotate#bc yes it’s abt jgy and it’s abt how lxc killed jgy for the one thing he didn’t do#and it’s also a line of ‘wrong’ choices#but also when i think abt lxc grieving both his sworn brothers and thinking abt how he should’ve died in the temple#i do lose my mind a bit

The ultimate question of who would be described as the third wheeler in the 3zun relationship.
It was Lan Xichen......
Wait! Hear me out! XD
Lan Xichen had a 🌸😊flowery😊🌸 relationship with Nie Mingjue as well as a 🌺😊flowery😊🌺 relationship with Jin Guangyao, but that would never compare to the absolute steadfast unbreakable and unquenchable (💀) LOATHING (💀) Jin Guangyao and Nie Mingjue had for each other. It wasn't 'till death do them part' it was a competition to see who could bring about the death faster.
So Lan Xichen was off living in his flowery fantasy world while Jin Guangyao and Nie Mingjue were playing hunter vs assassin, and that is such a hot dynamic, despite how toxic it actually is.

I am such a massive hoe for quality polycules and queer platonic relationships in fiction like I will greedily consume that shit
#this is in response to akagami whichbu sleptnon for 7 years and finally watched and read#i fucking love obi and my only thought fowards him and the main couple is all of them have 2 goddamn hands#HOLD THEM#obi for rhe first time ever feels deeply connnected to others to the point he literally says to a formers coworker#that he feels hes left a part of himself behind with his group#he loves his weird new family hes found in shirayuki zen mitsuhide and kiki#and hes confirmed in love with shirayuki and if you can look at his interactions with zen and think theyre completely normal go away#hes so loyal and he cares so much#only other thruple ive felt this way about is 3zun and even then not all of them mesh well canonically like canonically they have issues#but these 3 all love and respect each other and actively work to keep each other happy#therefore i say let them be together#im having A Week and falling into fictional bliss to ignore my stresses is how why this is happening#sigh#i need to go do shit#im just so tired#what i wouldnt give to be a well paid live in nanny for a rich couple#maybe child care is what i was meant for instead of teaching#who knows#maybe ill look for that kind of work#i genuinely would be stoked to find a wealthy couple in their like 30s or 40s with young children who needed a live in nanny#bc i am a great older sibling or mentor figure i think#like i have actual interest in children and their development and a desire to lessen their school and life related anxieties#and i am physically able to get on their level and play and embarass myself with them#which in my experience is not something that can say for all child care providers#i WILL go to the park with them and attempt the physical challenges and propose various games#i am more than willing to mess around and look like a fool and the fact that i was able to sucessfully play with and be acdepted by#a 13 yr old boy whose parents assumed would ignore me is genuinely one of my proudest achivements#kids are weird but fun and i think i am a quality addition to a child rearing endeavor#okay bye im done#future me reading this can deduce my state when writing this 😐

Here’s the link also on FFN~!
Words: 10,977 Genre: Romance/Drama/Supernatural Rated: Explicit / M (sex, violence, & sexual violence)
Pairings: NieYao, XiYao, NieLan, 3zun
Characters: Nie Mingjue, Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao, Nie Huaisang, Lan Huan/Lan Xichen, Lan Zhan/Lan Wangji Relationships: Meng Yao & Nie Huaisang, Nie Mingjue & Nie Huaisang, Lan Huan/Lan Xichen & Lan Zhan/Lan Wangji
Summary: Demonic cultivation takes a toll on the heartiest souls. None recover, even when trained to combat its malific influence since their youth. Nie Mingjue knows this well, yet Meng Yao can only see him as the enigmatic clan leader, the man with an exterior so cold he has no idea why Nie Mingjue saved his life at all. Ensnared in a discipline and authority that threatens to devour them both, will Meng Yao be able to let go of his past, or will he destroy everything he holds dear in the process of trying to gain control?
Slow-burn NieYao. Future 3zun.
WARNING: depictions of past sexual abuse and dubious consent.
Preview:
Xichen and Yao walked no more than ten feet outside from the tent's entrance before Xichen turned to the other, heart pounding in his chest. He still didn’t have the courage to ask what was truly on his mind, but he at least would not do nothing. “A-Yao, what was it you and Mingjue were arguing about before I entered?”
Yao glanced flusteredly at the hand that had been placed on his upper arm. Xichen quickly retracted it, worrying he’d overstepped. Yao smiled at him. “Zewu-jun, don’t worry about it. Everyone is stressed about the matter of infiltrating Scorching Sun Palace.”
Xichen expected Yao to elaborate, but he didn’t. He was unaccustomed to seeing Yao this way: in a dark military outfit, with shortened sleeves and Nie armguards decorated with the faces of demons and fire. He preferred the other's scholarly grace and court demeanor. There was even a sword at his side.
Xichen shivered. The thought of Yao being forced to fight set his chest aflutter. Somehow, he felt he must have impelled Yao to accompany Mingjue on the mission to incapacitate Wen Ruohan, having interfered in their relationship as he had. Before Xichen knew what he was doing, he said, “I want you to know you can come to me with anything. All right?”

When Your Brother Thinks You’re Being Cheated On: How Not to Introduce your third
A 3zun crack au
Jin Guangyao, Lan xichen, and Nie Mingjue have recently become a triad, finally taking their sworn brotherhood to the next level after many talks, tears, confessions, and scheming of a one Lan xichen to get both his boyfriends to be boyfriends together
Guangshuan is also dead far earlier than in canon under mysterious circumstances, which greatly helped the three come together and absolutely was not a bonding expierience for the three
They’re pretty happy, however this realtionship is still new, and with politics being as it is, (wei wuxian being out there in his burial mounds scarinf everyone by existing and stressing out lan zhan, jin zixuan a new sect leader and expecting a child soon, and nie mingjue suffering baxia’s backlash) they’re trying to keep it on the down low until things stablize a bit
What they forget to take into account, are there brothers
Lan xichen is probably the most innocent in this, he fully believes he’s told lan zhan, he talks about his lovers all the time! Surelly lan zhan was listening?
Lan zhan was not listening. He was brooding over wei wuxian.
He is vaguely that lan xichen liked nie mingjue from way back when they were kids, and hasn’t thought it changed, since lan’s can only love once. It’s their families curse after all. So when lan xichen talks about a-yao this, a-yao that, lan zhan thinks its just friendship talk (like what wei ying used to do to him in cloud recesses) and tunes it out.
Jin Guangyao has an excuse. His position in the jin clan is destabilized by the shift in leadership. The last thing he wants is for jin zixuan to think he can’t do his job because he’s also kissing the leaders of two rival sects.
Jin zixuan for his part, does not see the other sects as rivals to beat like his father did. He’s not thinking much of anything except that he’s really drowning in work, and both Jiang Yanli and Jin Guangyao are lifelines.
Jiang Yanli he can show his gratitude by being the best husband he can be. But jin Guangyao? How can he get his brother to stop being awkward and take a break, (and maybe be closer like everyone else is with their siblings?)
Then jin zixuan catches the heart eyes that jin guangyao throws lan xichen at a sect conference, so much warmer than how he acts towards his other sworn brother, with all that bickering (flirting).
So jun zixuan tries to set up jin guangyao and lan xichen, giving every excuse for one to visit the other, and ample alone time when they do. He’s rewarded once by coming in a room wirh out knocking to see them holding hands.
Jin guangyao pulls his hand away, but its too late, jin zixuan saw it, his mission is complete!
Nie Mingjue is the only one who was no excuse. His brother asks him about his love life all the time. He wants to know!!!
But nie mingjue does not want a meddling sibling in his buisness, and anytime it comes up he gets so embarrassed he can’t speak, so he shuts him out.
Nie huaisang has to use his own brain, and so wjen he spots nie mingjue blushing and braiding a flower into jin guangyao’s hair, he realizes his answer. Nie mingjue has finally acted on his old feelings for meng yao, now his awful father isn’t here to keep them aprart.
All three brothers are thrilled. Until….
Lan zhan finds out first. He’s walking in the cloud recesses, when he sees two people making out. One in a now familiar green, and one in …yellow.
Nie mingjue is making out with jin guangyao in the cloud recesses, right under his brother’s nose! The nerve!
Lan zhan is frozen solid for a good five minutes, just watching in horror, before he turns and storms away, determined to save his brother from such a faithless match.
Jin guangyao and nie mingjue were absolutely doing it on purpose. They caught a glimpse of lan zhan’s white robes and handsome appearance out of the corner of their eye and thinking he was lan xichen, decided to give him a show. When they weren’t hit with a solid body joining their embrace they realized something was wrong, it wasn’t xichen, but lan wangji. They both feel very embarrassed and do not want to bring it up to lan xichen that they ruined his brother’s innocent with the sight of their kissing.
Lan wangji meanwhile tries to tell his brother, but his brother won’t hear a word against nie mingjue, (and lan zhan’s phrasing was also really vague, stuff like: “nie mingjue is a bad man, and jin guangyao is a snake in the bunny feild” but give him a break, he was traumatized)
Lan’s only love once, lan zhan justifies to himself, its gonna take more than words to convince him.
So he goes to the only person he can think of in times of crisis, wei wuxian.
Wei wuxian isn’t very close to those three, he thought nie mingjue was a better man than that, but then again, all the sects did turn a blind eye to the wen prison camps, so what does he know? No. He’s only mad about this because lan zhan came to him so obviously upset, and wei wuxian can never resist an upset lan zhan.
So he works day and night, (while lan zhan gets covered in blankets by the wens and hugs a-yaun for comfort) to create a talisman that can capture an event in the instant it happens, like a painting!
(Its a camera, he invented a camera)
He then starts marketting them to the common people under a psydonim, so it will be a trusted device by the time news reaches the cloud recesses.
He then gives it to lan zhan and instructs him to get a photo of nie mingjue cheating to show to his brother as proof.
Lan zhan accepts with the gravity of a man going to war, and prepares to stalk his brother’s boyfriend.
Meanwhile, nie huaisang is in for the shock of his life at the next sect conference, when he sees thr flowers he had sent to jin guangyao’s rooms on his brothers behalf, were instead decorating the rooms of a blushing lan xichen, who said “someone very special gave them to me.”
This may seem an innocent gesture of regifting, but nie huaisang smells a rat. You don’t regift a lovers gift to another person, u certainly don’t leave the other person blushing and saying it was from someone “very special”
Clearly jin guangyao is two-timing poor nie mingjue! But don’t worry! Nie huaisang has the perfect plan! First he’ll expose jin guangyao for the liar he is, then he’ll have both nie mingjue and lan xichen rebound with each other, effectively ensuring their happieness while punishing the guilty party! (Lan xichen can’t know. He’s to good to cheat, and he loves nie mingjue to much,” nie huaisang thinks, missing the obvious)
His plans however, face problems from the start. He first tries to expose jin guangyao as having a failed relationship before with qin su, to show to his brother jin guangyao’s track record isn’t great. But when he finds the actual reason “the mother told them both they were siblings, since she was no longer afraid of jin guangshan’s retribution since he was dead” it doesn’t help him at all! If anything it makes jiggy look even more honorable for covering it up and makinf it look like it was because he wasn’t good enough.
Then he tries to expose him as a liar in koi tower, lots of corruption there! But his every step is thwarted by some unknown force, one even he can’t out think
His only hope lies in the new talisman on the market that allows you to capture images. Surely if he catches jin guangyao in the act, that will be wnouggh to prove him unfaithful (even if it will prob take a few more steps to convince da-ge that lan xichen didn’t know actually and is s good choice for rebound)
The person who is thwartinf nie huaisang is in fact jin zixuan, mostly by all the back breaking work he’s done to weed out corruption, tiredness, and trying to keep jin guangyao to simpler, easy to do jobs.
See, jin zixuan saw lan xichen kiss nie mingjue on the cheek a couple weeks back, and even though he’s not certain if its actually cheating or lan xichen and a-yao broke up and lan xichen moved on far to quickly, he knows it must be taking a toll on jin guangyao
Not that jin guangyao is showing any signs, but that’s just the mask he’s always wearing. If Jin zixuan wants to see the real him, he needs to prove he can be someone he can trust.
So he starts giving jin guangyao simpler tasks to do, paired with babysitting the new born jin ling, things that keep him away from all the husle of court politics that put him into contact with his ex and his ex’s new man.
Jiang yanli is more than happy to help, talking about her own brothers to remind jiggy he has one too, and having tea with him while he holds jin ling.
Jiggy is glad for time with jin ling, but he likes doing things! He has to fight tooth and nail to get jin zixuan to let him help with the one month ceremony, and is far to busy with that to do any scheming of any kind
Everything comes to a head at jin ling’s one month celebration, where nie huaisang tries to publicly expose jin guangyao by working pictures of him with lan xichen into the slide show (yet another wei wuxian invention, he’s really on fire with these)
He then points out the obvious by “accident” and tries to reassure mingju there’s no way lan xichen would ever betray him like that
Lan zhan (who has brought wei wuxian for moral aupport) sees this and panics, showing his pictures (which he originally wanted to give to his brother in private) to prove his brother’s innocence and that its the other way around, actually.
To which jin zixuan angrilly stands up and points out how nie mingjue and lan xichen were the one’s who left jin guangyao and he’s not going to stand for anyone insulting his brother actually, and this is his psrty so they better back off or get out.
“Your here for formalities sake, we could easily have this with just the jins and the jiangs!”
“Anf me!” Goes wei wuxian
“And the wei sect!” Goes jin zixuan, accidentally acknowledging wei wuxian’s group of outcasts as legitimate and thus changing the course of history
It is at this point when 3zun realize the jig is up. In their attempt to keep quiet for politics, they made everything even worse.
They stand up and point out that no, no one is cheating, and yes, they are all together, all THREE of them, and that is not going to change anytime soon, and also could they have those photos? Lan xichen’s starting a scrap book.
See this is why i don’t tell you things, goes jin guangyao to jin zixuan, (secretly pleased he’d be willing to go against two sects for him)
“What the f- goes on in your head?” Goes nie mingjue to nie huaisang
“Brother i told you this ages ago,” goes a very disappointed lan xichen
“Lan’d can love more than one person?” Lan zhan says, eyes wide and uncompeehending “do i have to love more than one?”
“Don’y worry about it lan zhan,” goes wei wuxian. “You can love exactly how you want too.” Lam zhan looks at him with wide eyes, makes three leaps of logic, a d assumes this is wei wuxian acknowledging lan zhan’s feelings and giving him permission to court him.
Thus 3zun live happily ever after, having learned that communication really is key when you have three very over-protective brothers.
