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.

Bookmarker's Notes
Time travel fix-it with tragic transmigration from the jump. Brilliant world building and characterizations.
MDZS characters: all little children. Intelligent and intuitive kids trying their best. WangXian basically have only two caring adults - and one of them is a nu gui… the other is being held prisoner while slowly being poisoned to death.
This story is has excellent writing with fast pacing and smart allusions and nuances. I’m having a great time discovering them upon re-reading often.

Jin “Must I Fix Everything Myself?!” Xizuan just cannot catch a break. Some people just make him want to stab them.
Brilliant.

Summary
By the time MianMian gets back from her honeymoon, his name and face will be gloriously etched into Lan Wangji's memory. Impossible to remove.
He's going to make that man think of him daily. He wants to drive him insane.
Maybe Lan Wangji will have to invent an actual forget-Wei-Wuxian curse just to survive the aftermath.

Summary
When Wei Ying falls into the Burial Mounds, he’s rescued not by the Yin Iron, but by a strange, twisted creature who heals his body and slips into his mind.
Now ridden by Lan Zhan, a bodiless creature ignorant of human customs and brimming with the desire for revenge against the cultivators who threw his mother into the Burial Mounds, Wei Ying has the power to take down the Wen sect for good– if he and the creature can learn to work together.
(Or the Venom-inspired canon-divergence Untamed fic no one asked for.)

Summary
Lan Zhan has always been fascinated by history, drawn to the Sunshot Campaign and its heroes, and the struggle of good over evil, in particular one Wei WuXian of the YunmengJiang Clan of the past. He accidentally discovers that this same person became the notorious and vilified Yiling Laozu later on, after a three month long absence from the cultivation world. Lan Zhan’s interest in the historical figure shapes his career path, and he becomes the go-to expert for anything related to the man who supposedly went against all the cultivation clans in his attempt to save a handful of Wen Remnants. Then an accidental landslide in Yiling, high up in the Burial Mounds, uncovers a strange artefact and Lan Zhan is called in to offer help. But little does he know that this pursuit of the truth behind the Yiling Laozu is what will change his life forever…and what is worse, is that there's a powerful curse in place, engraved on the mysterious artefact.
