TYK, the fan-made timeline!!!!
More below, + additional information.
So Bichen started asking questions about Wen Kexing's plan and whereabouts during TYK--which slowly lead to the two of us making this timeline to... pretty much figure out what's going on.
It is by no means exhaustive, since, as the title states it, it is essentially from the perspective of the Ghost Valley. This doesn't include most of what happens with the wulin people, nor whatever WenZhou are doing.
This was................. a pain to make and I felt exhausted for the most part, but it was also quite fun. Many thanks to Bichen for the help. I'm glad to have this, now, as to get a clearer idea of what's going on, and if this can help anyone else who cares about this, well, good.
(TBH I don't think anyone does but still worth it)
I feel a bit bad that I used my own designs to make it, but I didn't have anything else at hand since we don't have any official designs for the books.
(Funny anecdote, I think that the two sentences I pronounced the most while working on it were: "Wait, so it was Sun Ding?!" and "Wait, so it was Meng Hui?!")

Summary:
After placing the first of seven nails into his body, Zhou Zishu's plan is unfortunatly discovered by Prince Jin. Running from suffocating captivity, there is nowhere else in the world to hide but the notorious Ghost Valley. Memories of Siji Manor and much of his past washed away by Meng Po soup, Zhou Zishu cheerfully carves out a new place for himself and draws the attention of the vicious Valley Master while he does it.
S’s Notes:
This fic. THIS FIC. Not going to lie, I don’t read noncon and I probably would have skipped over this fic if it had been a main tag and not a chapter note, but I’m so glad that I read it. Heed the warnings as this fic had some VERY dark themes, but it’s an incredibly engaging plot that I could not put down.
I’m pretty sure I read all 100k of it over the course of a single day. It’s that good. The plot is built so beautifully, and the creativity in making such a vibrant and real world for Ghost Valley was just icing on the cake. I am currently reading through the sequels as well. All in all, incredibly engaging and well-written story that enraptures and delights the reader. Well worth the CW’s if they aren’t actual triggers to you.

Written by Katie Benner and David E. Sanger
Talks between the Justice Department and a top executive of the Chinese telecommunications giant, Huawei, spanned more than 12 months and two presidential administrations, and boiled down to a widespread controversy: whether Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of Huawei’s founder, would accept. any wrongdoing.
Since his arrest in 2018, Meng has refused to admit…

[Video Edit] Where Is My Love? – WenZhou Reincarnation AU
Wen Kexing does not survive the process of transferring his zhenqi to Zhou Zishu. Zhou Zishu waits without hope or end for Wen Kexing, and bumps into his reincarnation after a thousand years.
For the WOHdaily Summer Event Day 7: Serendipity
Notes: The Meng Po’s Brew mentioned here is not the concoction made by Ghost Valley, but the original brew from mythology that souls of the dead must drink before reincarnation, so that they forget everything about their past life and begin their new lives with a clean slate.
It’s already almost march so I guess I could list what I already finished ;d
1. Qi Ye (Lord Seventh) by Priest - ah the infamous prequel to TYK. I initially wanted to read it only to get to know Zhou Zishu’s past, but the more glimpses of Jing Beiyuan and Wu Xi I’ve seen in the fandom, the more I wanted to read it just for them. And oh boy did I enjoy. It wasn’t the easiest to read though, ngl. So Many Politics. And scheming. I love jby so much, what a mood. Anyway, I’m happy I read this novel for multiple reasons. And now I’m writing a xiyuan fic :’) help
Now, what’s on the list to go:
2. Reread Tian Ya Ke (Faraway Wanderers) by Priest - I planned to reread it for a long while, once I finish Qi Ye (I’ll do so after being done with that xiyuan fic). I’m so excited for it, to see the wenzhou disaster pair in a new light and catch all the details which I missed during my first read. But my other goal is to refresh the image of TYK characters before going back to my wenzhou fics and continuing a few WIPs which have been rotting in my folder :’)
3. Liu Yao: The Revitalization of Fuyao Sect by Priest - I’ve seen so much art and it looks incredibly fun, I simply cannot resist.
4. Zhen Hun (Guardian) by Priest - I want to get to know it, after seeing it around in the fandom. Quite a few things ticked off the checklist of my tastes 👀
5. Qian Qiu (Thousand Autumns) by Meng Xi Shi - I don’t know if I need to say why it’s here. Just good stuff.
6. Of all the Transmigrations, why am I a Prisoner? by 1111 - I’ve seen nice art from nightjar-draws and ohohsomething which coax me 👀
7. The Magnus Archives - not really a book as it’s a podcast, but I will probably follow a transcript and it’s only words, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It’s been haunting me since I got pulled into wwdits and then made that one fatal post which blew up in TMA tumblr fandom. So I’m thinking of giving it a try out sometime this year, maybe when I need a change from danmei works.
8. A volume of poetry - still haven’t decided which one, I have a few at home which I read years ago or haven’t touched at all. I recently realised that although I’ve been writing stuff which could be considered poetry, I haven’t really Read (with Thoughts and some Analysis) any poetry since I finished school. So I wanna try reconnecting with that. Candidates from my shelves are: Wisława Szymborska, Leopold Staff, Czesław Miłosz.
9. Leaving space for whatever I’ll need to consume for the master’s thesis, most likely stuff on biometrics and maybe neural networks :’)
-----
Just wanna say, "intend [to read]" is a big word here, because that's quite a few titles, while I'm not only busy but also take long breaks between the series whenever I get inspired enough to produce some writing (that's exactly what happened after TYK last year and what's happening now after Qi Ye). So yeah, just listed a few titles high on my list, but not sure how many I'll manage to read. Still, excited for each if them!
Ayy dunno if you already did it or feel like doing it, free to ignore as always, @ashenwren @ohohsomething @nightjar-draws @cytharat @antique-forvalaka @theyilinglaozus @hedonistbyheart @domidoom @myshadowlovesfire @still-gathering-roses @miyakuli @a-very-fond-farewell
Feel free to ignore this, mainly if someone already asked before but: if you had to rank the main couples in the danmei you've read so far, from favorite to least favorite, how that would go?
oh man this took some thinking (ノ*°▽°*)
I'm gonna divide them by sections, the first section was the easiest for me to decide in terms of ranking, but within the second and third, the rankings are... shiftable
I FEEL THEIR LOVE I LOVE THEIR LOVE I WILL SINK WITH THEIR LOVE
mo ran x chu wanning (2ha) - bu chonghua x wu yu (tun hai) - A TIE
zhou rong x si nan (undead)
yan xie x jiang ting (po yun)
lan wangji x wei wuxian (mdzs)
xuan ji x sheng lingyuan (lhjc)
hua cheng x xie lian (tgcf)
lu feng x an zhe (little mushroom)
zhou hui x chu he (lantern: reflection of peach blossoms)
they! are! in! love!
chu feng x luo zhouzhou (the general’s vampire omega)
ruan nanzhu x lin qiushi (kod)
xu shuangce x gong wei (sword named no way out)
shang que x yu zhengdu (new times, new hell) - currently reading so ranking might change? based on where I've read till I'd put them here
chen budao x wen shi (pan guan)
shen wei x zhao yunlan (guardian)
guo lian x qiao jia (guo qiao mi xian)
yan xiaohan x fu shen (golden stage)
luo wenzhou x fei du (mo du)
heize chuan x ye zhen (lantern: reflecting the rivers and mountains)

Huawei CFO leaves Canada after US deal on fraud charges, Canadian chief detained from home
Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou flew to China on Friday after reaching an agreement with US prosecutors to end a bank fraud case against him, easing tensions between China and the United States.
Within hours of news of the deal, two Canadians who were arrested shortly after Meng was taken into custody in December 2018 were released from Chinese prisons and were on their way back to…

Modern WenZhou AU where WKX and ZZS always manage to find the reincarnations of Cheng Ling. Well, it's more like every several decades a sweet goofball stumbles across them and they just nod in agreement like "ah yes, our hopeless disciple's returned."
They've even found several reincarnations of YBY, Qian Qiao, Luo Fu Meng, etc, etc
Despite all this, they've never found Gu Xiang or even Cao Wei Ning. WKZ and ZZS dedicate centuries of their lives searching for them but their efforts are fruitless and they return to the mountains.
Until one day, walking down a bustling sidewalk, WKX glances at a red string tied around a young woman's wrist. He starts to feel something in his chest that he hasn't felt in almost a millennium. He rushes for her, shoving people out of his way until he catches up to her. He grabs her by the shoulders and spins her around, only to be met with a designer bag to the face and shouts of "get away from me!" and "pervert!" but he can't help but smile because, after all these years, he's found his baby again.
ZZS manages to diffuse the situation and convince "Gu Xiang" that they're her...uncles? Yeah, uncles! That's it. She's skeptical at first but starts warming up to them, and something about the clingy one feels like home.
This is also a coffee shop AU because CWN is a cute barista at a cafe Gu Xiang frequents and WenZhou fervently try to play matchmaker. They manage to pull Cheng Ling into this and shenanigans ensue.
