    Summary

    Modern cultivator, Wei Wuxian, dies in a train crash and is sent back in time to the period of Ancient China he had been writing his thesis on - transmigrated into his own body as a child, dying on the streets of Yiling. He has no money, no family, but a knowledge of modern cultivation and of the historical events that are about to unfold.

    He recalls the recently-unearthed journal of a woman who was imprisoned in Cloud Recesses against her will, and decides that she’s a good place to start to find someone who might be willing to help him dismantle the corruption that had sent the Cultivation World into the Dark Ages so long ago.

    Of course, he had no idea that the person he sought would be the mother of Hanguang-Jun, the object of Wei Wuxian's fascination (“obsession,” his friend had corrected), since he had first learned of his existence in the ancient texts he'd studied.

    Summary

    After the night hunt in Biling Lake goes wrong, people start taking notice of Wei Wuxian, how he's more than just the undisciplined Head Disciple of Yunmeng Jiang always causing trouble, more than just the Servant's son everyone gossips about.

    What happens when a dream makes the oblivious Wei Wuxian understand his feelings at fifteen.

    What happens when the dream him gives insights into things Wei Wuxian has only ever expressed interest in learning once, but was reprimanded for.

    What happens when the Lan Sect, known for pursuing knowledge and innovation, learn the Jiang Sect has neglected to nurture the once in a lifetime genius they picked up off the street.

    ___
    A self indulgent fix-it fic where Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji figure their shit out earlier and people accept that Wei Wuxian is way smarter than most of the Cultivation World, for better or worse. It changes a lot!

    Summary

    Jiang Wanyin sneered triumphantly. His mother had maneuvered herself into a corner he had not even anticipated! This was already working much better than expected.

    He nodded graciously and straightened.

    "Very well. If that is your main concern, I will send for a matchmaker immediately. Wei Wuxian will marry a young master to ensure no possible children of his may threaten the Jiang family's hold on the Lotus throne."

    Or: The one where Jiang Cheng travels to the past, realizes making Wei Wuxian sect leader of the Jiang would solve ninety percent of his issues, and then has to deal with the remainind ten percent (Wen Ruohan) trying to kill them all.
    The unconscious Madam Yu may or may not have some things to say about this arrangement.
