On January 24th, 2024, Bilibili Comics announced the shutdown of the service on February 29, 2024. There’s a lot that can be said about Bilibili Comics and how they have operated in the past 2, 2.5 years, but the conclusion is the same, whether the criticism is positive or negative, so there’s not much point in discussing all the issues and their, at times questionable…
Yet another idea for a TTEOTM fanfic I'll never come around to write.
Roleswap fic!
Cang Jiumin is a cultivator, the adopted son of Master Zhaoyou. His world has been on literal fire because of the Phoenix Demoness Li Susu, daughter of the Ancient Devil God's Lieutenant Di Mian who managed to snatch the Evil Bone along with the Sky-Slashing Sword when the Devil God fell. Even if Di Mian was trapped in the Barren Abyss, he managed to free himself and found his daughter's egg, powering her with the Evil Bone's power he corrupted Li Susu's original pure nature, turning her into the Phoenix demoness who brought destruction upon the world ever since she hatched.
When Li Susu decides to attack the Immortal Sects to obtain their artifacts, she and Cang Jiumin clash for the first time, and she seems to recognize him somehow, much to his confusion. She attacks him anyway, but he's protected by Ming Ye's dragon scale and able to access to the Mirror of the Past's power.
This leads the elder Immortals to believe he must have some godly ancestry or protection and can use the relic. As such, Zhaoyou entrusts Cang Jiumin with the task of going back in time to make sure Li Susu won't be corrupted by demonic power.
Now, he finds himself in the body of Tantai Jin, Ye Xiwu's husband, and here I have two routes:
The past background is the same: Tantai Jin is the hostage prince of Jing who managed to marry the favourite daughter of the Pillar General of Sheng, Ye Xiwu is vicious and shows every possible bad trait that will lead to her easy demonization, so he has to try to awaken her best feelings so she can learn to love the world and respect others.
Tantai Jin is the favourite prince of Jing, even though he was born the son of a concubine. When he brought an end to the long-time war against Sheng thanks to his wit, he was ordered to marry Ye Xiwu, daughter of the Pillar General of Sheng, to consolidate his power in the foreign land where he's staying as regent (basically, his father let him have Sheng to compensate the fact he can't get the throne of Jing due to existence of his older, legitimate brothers). Obviously, Ye Xiwu hates him, is spoiled, and all the drill.
which is actually 2.1: Tantai Jin is the favourite prince of Jing who is friend with Xiao Lin and his marriage to Ye Xiwu was wanted to ensure a more lasting peace (like in his dream in ep 4). Ye Xiwu, who thinks Tantai Jin will never get the throne due to the existence of his older and legitimate brothers other than the fact he has a reputation of being weak and meek, despises him and the marriage.
Plot 1 would retrace some steps from canon, with Cang Jiumin having to try to elicit pity and affection from the tyrannical Ye Xiwu from his disadvantaged place as a hostage prince and unwanted husband. The moment he transmigrates is when he dies kneeling on the frozen lake, he's "saved" by the benevolence of Grandmother Ye.
Plot 2 would require some more imagination and delve into palace matters and politics (which are not my expertise) but would make a more novel plot.
In any case, they should come around to discover a few things about each other:
Ye Xiwu's life was not as nice as it looked, despite being the only legitimate daughter and most spoiled, in fact, she was always overshadowed by Ye Bingchang ever since she stole Pian Ran's Love threads. Ye Xiwu genuinely loved Xiao Lin and had her heart broken by his indifference, other than the fact Ye Bingchang used her newfound influence to push her sister out of society.
Tantai Jin is a tribulation of Cang Jiumin (like YXW was LSS), but he's not the Devil Fetus here. Instead, he's the lost son of Ming Ye and Sang Jiu, who she lost without even knowing she was pregnant when she saved Ming Ye the last time in the Ruo River (hence why he was born from Concubine Ruo)
Ming Ye drags them into the Bo're Life to show YXW who her father really is like (Di Mian did kill Chu Huang after all, which he lied to LSS about), and also the risk of allowing herself to demonize like Sang Jiu did. For his son, he wanted him to know the real story and see his mother, but also apologize and warn him not to make his same mistakes of being too cold and distant with the woman he loves, along with the hint to the presence of the Evil Bone in LSS and the need to replace it with an Immortal Marrow.
After their deaths (which will depend on how the plot develops) Cang Jiumin comes back to his life in Xiaoyao sect and is surprised to find that Li Susu is now a new disciple of Qu Xuanzi, leader of Hengyang sect.
206 --CH contention starts: liu bang (50) // xiang yu (26) // zhang liang (45)
202-- CH Contention ends
202 -- Han Dynasty Starts 28 February // Liu Bang (age 54)
202 -- xiang yu dies (29-30 years)
196-- han xin dies (age unknown)
195 --liu bang dies 1 June (aged 61)
189-- zhang liang dies (62)
Notes:
Wow, putting this timeline together has made me realise just how condensed this time period is.
trivia:
Qin Shi Huang was only 3 years older than Liu Bang.
The Qin Dynasty only lasted 15 years
At the time of the Chu-Han Contention Liu Bang was 50, Xiang Yu was 26 YEARS OLD. I had no idea he was that fucking young. the God of War, Breaker of Qin, Hero of the Age, Hegemon King of Chu was a fricking Coughing Baby Hydrogen Bomb.
In contrast, Zhang Liang was commonly portrayed as the OG Twink Strategist, but he was like 45 years old when he joins Team Han. sure that's not old and it does not negate his twink status by any means, but it's NOTHING compared to the Coughing Baby Hegemon King. I had to recheck wikipedia 5 times i was CONVINCED i was fudging the numbers somehow.
the hegemon king should have been at the club oh my god. im sorry i can't get over the fact he was THREE YEARS OLDER THAN ME when he decided to Leroy Jenkins the entirety of the Qin Army for a 10 v 1, inspire at least 3 famous proverbs and also a very tragic opera*. i get anxious writing emails.
oh btw Xiang Yu was the guy who was Farewelling his Concubine She's my fucking consort you jackass translator! before he died by suicide and offered his head to his childhood bestie so he could claim the reward. God everything he does reads like Badassary Word Salad
Han Xin's birth was never recorded, and wikipedia doesn't give me a age at time of death. Based on his childhood accounts, he appears to be a teenager before QSH's Unification started so I decided to make him the same age as Zhang Liang, 1) because it's easy to remember 2) they make great foils 3) they start a book club during house arrest and idk i thought it would be good for bonding reasons.
He gets to Sheng and his life is even more horrifying. He is being bullied for being a “freak” because of something he cannot control (side note - if they keep when he first is able to cry from the novel, I will go into stratosphere of bliss!) but it’s not even that, if it was not that it would be something else, Prince Liang just loves to hurt others.
The way he tries to explain...
And the psychos snap his arm! Yeah, Susu, you needed to see that.
Xiao Lin to the rescue. No wonder he has a soft spot for him.
The nursemaid tries to use this as an opportunity to get him to act more “normal” but the thing is, Tantai Jin is so literal and so lost (and does not ever realize that charming or not, nobody would defer to or love Xiao Lin if he wasn’t the emperor and empress’ favorite son.) The way he so desperately tries to mask - because that is what this really is. My heart! How can he not have feelings if he wants and hopes to be loved and cared for and liked?
God, his practicing smiling like Xiao Lin (and we see him practice and mirror literally everything the latter does and just my heart!)
Here he is all grown up and he is giving mad Chu-fei vibes here!
Oh God.
When he tries to be polite but all he gets is unprovoked abuse...
I need Prince Liang to be set on fire!
God, god, god!
And then his realization, that he never really was able to pass. That he lived in a fool’s paradise.
Yes! Exactly!!!! He has tried to become Xiao Lin and it’s so goddamn tragic.
He is so unworldly in some ways. No, she turned it down because you are not someone she wants to associate with.
And he gets tormented again...he tries to defend himself by saying it would look bad only to get ignored again....
Sweetheart, it’s only ep 4, it’s just starting! But I do love Susu getting fed up with the abuse he suffers - she gets more and more indignant as it goes on.
