f!wangxian get up to shenanigans and Meng Yao gets nice things

Character Appearances

Plot

Events diverge from The Untamed story at approximately episode 10. Wei Ying happens to overhear when the Nie captain is harassing Meng Yao, and she notifies Nie Mingjue. Nie Mingjue punches the captain and sentences him to punishment duties and yells a lot, leaving Meng Yao satisfied and less intent on murdering the captain as soon as possible. When Wen Chao attacks the Unclean Realm, there are no betrayals. Wei Ying makes sure that Xue Yang does not escape. Ultimately they drive Wen Chao and his soldiers away, though not before Wen Chao is extremely gross at Wei Ying and says some very ominous things about Cloud Recesses burning.

Meanwhile, Cloud Recesses is burning. Lan Zhan gives herself up in exchange for the surviving Lans inside the Cold Cave being left alive. Wen Xu has her leg broken. While she is left alone in a tent, Lan Zhan manages to hide her fragment of the Yin Iron in a rabbit burrow. Wen Xu searches her and interrogates her briefly, but ultimately hands her off to Wen Chao. Offscreen, Wen Chao tortures her for its whereabouts in many unpleasant ways, including sexual assault. Wei Ying senses that something is very wrong when they are reunited at Indoctrination, and dresses as a Wen guard to search for her at night. She rescues Lan Zhan, incapacitating Wen Chao and taking him prisoner. Using Wen Chao's sword, they flee to the Unclean Realm. 

They share a room, and a bed. Lan Zhan recovers, while Meng Yao and Wei Ying take turns torturing Wen Chao. Wen Chao confesses assaulting Lan Zhan to Meng Yao, who threatens him into silence. Out of concern for Lan Xichen, who loves his little sister very much, Meng Yao brings Lan Zhan some wine and offers his support. Lan Zhan, frustrated and exhausted by her trauma response to Meng Yao, drinks some. Wei Ying finds her passed out on the floor. Wei Ying and drunk Lan Zhan have a soft gay time, and Lan Zhan nearly kisses her. In the morning, Wei Ying confesses and they finally get together with plenty of kissing.

When Lan Zhan is recovered enough to walk, she and Wei Ying and Meng Yao and a troupe of Nies travel to Gusu to find and help Lan survivors. Meng Yao successfully tracks Lan Xichen to his inn, and brings him back to the others. Lan Qiren walks in on Wei Ying and Lan Zhan kissing. With the combined Nie and Lan forces, they retake Cloud Recesses.

Once Cloud Recesses are secure, Lan Zhan and Wei Ying and a handful of Lan disciples head to the war front to be more proactively helpful. 

[Lotus Pier is attacked, Madam Yu and Yanli are later shown to survive. After hearing this news, Lan Zhan and Wei Ying break out the other disciples in Nightless City, revisit the Unclean Realm (where Wei Ying announces her relationship to Jiang Cheng) and then go to Yunmeng to help evacuate kids. Lan Zhan finds out that she is pregnant. Wei Ying decides to marry her about it, publicly claiming that the baby is hers by way of talisman experimentation. Meanwhile, Wei Ying and Meng Yao become sworn siblings.]

In the two week period before the wedding in which Wei Ying is not supposed to see Lan Zhan, she accompanies Meng Yao to visit his mother's grave. When they are ambushed by Wens and the ground is disturbed by an explosion, Wei Ying stuffs a fragment of Yin Iron inside Meng Shi's withered corpse to hide it. This accidentally revives Meng Shi as a fierce corpse, who Wei Ying manages to calm and restore to consciousness. She returns with them to the Nie encampment. Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue are informed of the latest Wei Ying incident and called upon to act as witnesses to Meng Shi's harmlessness.

we'll explain how f!wei ying became an adopted wen later

Character Appearances

Plot

Wen!Wei Ying joins her siblings, Wen Qing and Wen Ning, on their spy mission to Cloud Recesses and attends the Lan lectures. Lan Zhan forms a crush the moment she sees Wen Ying, and is terrified over being attracted to someone so chaotic and probably-evil. She is infuriated and horny over everything Wen Ying does, which includes: being Smart, asking Lan Zhan to supervise her in the library, breaking the wards, writing notes on how to fix the wards, and looking like that. Wen Ying also develops a crush, but she thinks that Lan Zhan hates her. Lan Zhan tries really hard to hate her.

On a late night snooping expedition, Wen Ying breaks the wards (again) and sneaks into the back hill, where she accidentally comes across Lan Zhan bathing in the cold springs. When she steps into the cold springs to hand Lan Zhan new notes on breaking ward improvements, they are both yanked underwater and fall into the Cold Pond Cave. Lan Yi appears and explains to them the threat of the Yin Iron. Wen Ying confesses that she was sent on a mission to retrieve the fragment from Cloud Recesses for Wen Ruohan, but vows to do her best to keep it out of his hands. She has already been planning to overthrow him. In order for Wen Ying to leave the cave, Lan Yi prompts Lan Zhan to share her headband in what may or may not legally constitute a wedding. (It does not, but Lan Zhan continues thinking they are secretly married).

After explaining both the Yin Iron and the Wen siblings' position to Lan Xichen, Lan Zhan receives clearance to take Wen Ying and company along on a Yin Iron fetch quest once the lectures end. On the way, Wen Ying convinces Lan Zhan to try a sip of wine. Lan Zhan becomes drunk at their campfire, resulting in cuteness such as flopping into Wen Ying's lap and pulling her along into bed when it becomes sleeptime. During this, Wen Chao's owl happens to pass overhead and observe some of the lap-flopping cuteness. The next day, the group (now joined by Nie Huaisang) find and meet the Lady Florist in her sequestered home. Once they explain the situation, show her Lan Yi's Yin Iron fragment, and convince her of their good intentions, Flower Lady gives them her shard as well. With Flower Lady no longer exerting most of her power to contain the resentful energy of the Yin Iron, she easily kicks Wen Chao's ass when he later shows up.

Eventually, Wen Ying and her siblings realize that they have wandered into a recognizable patch of forest, and identify the location as their home village. They drag their companions along to Granny's house, where Lan Zhan gets to observe the siblings being adorably comfortable and happy as they prepare dinner. After dinner Granny, who has noticed how Lan Zhan looks at Wen Ying, discreetly drags her off to inquire about her intentions and hint that her own youth was less than staid. 

In the night, Wen Chao pulls Yin Iron-related fuckery. Our heroes hole up in a small, non-evil-goddess-containing cave in the mountains until they spot the owl thing, at which point Wen Ying and Lan Zhan swoop off to kill the owl and kick Wen Chao's ass. After they get back, they observe the un-Yin-Ironed villagers being traumatized and Lan Zhan observes Wen Ying being adorably good with her baby cousin A-Yuan and flees when she can't handle it. 

Wen Qing convinces Wen Ning to stay behind and look after the other Dafan Wens. He reluctantly agrees, after much persuasion, and the others continue on. As in The Untamed, our heroes arrive late to Xue Yang's Chang Sect murderparty. Wen Qing and Wen Ying are bemused to see Xue Yang; he is amused. After lots of taunting, including a reference to Wen Ying doing dirty work for Wen Ruohan, Xue Yang makes the fatal error of cutting Lan Zhan's cheek. Wen Ying beats his face in, just in time for the Nie disciples to arrive and take him into custody. 

Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan are present for the Xue Yang event as in canon; as in canon, they acquiesce to having Xue Yang dragged off to Qinghe for judgment and fuck off rather than get involved with big sects. Differences include Wen Ying not revealing herself to be Cangse-sanren's kid when she double-takes at Xiao Xingchen revealing himself to be Baoshan-sanren's disciple. Overall the pair of them end up much more bemused by their interactions with the young people of the major sects than in canon.

Plot

Diverges early on from the plot of by your clear light and color, the initial thread of f!wangxian derailing Untamed canon. The thread begins at the start of Wen Indoctrination. In this version, Wang Lingjiao happened be more available offscreen to stop Wen Chao from cheating on her (and from raping any prisoners, which she cares less about). Because Lan Zhan seems less unnervingly traumatized to Wei Ying, Wei Ying does not initiate any dungeon sneaking or emergency breakouts.

During the confrontation with Wen Chao by the vegetable gardens (Episode 12), Lan Zhan smacks Wen Chao with his whip handle while protecting Wei Ying. Wen Chao is enraged with both of them, and they are both tossed into the terrible dog dungeon together. Lan Zhan tries to keep Wei Ying calm and shield her from the dog. She takes a bite to her arm before f!Wen Ning shows up to save them. This is the first appearance of a girl Wen Ning. Wen Ning walks Wei Ying through treating Lan Zhan's wounds. [Gay nosebleed incident.]

As per usual, Wen Chao takes the hostage disciples on a terrible field trip. Wei Ying successfully convinces Lan Zhan to allow herself to be carried. [...]

Character Appearances

Plot

[The time travel Happens.] Lan Xichen sneaks into his mother (Sun Lihua)'s prison, using his clearance as a 35 year old sect leader. He gets to be hugged and to cry in her lap a little, but more importantly gets to tell her about the time travel and the future he wants to avoid. He decides to break his mother out that night, before anyone might notice his unnatural power or golden core. Lan Xichen retrieves sleeping baby Lan Zhan and A-Zhan's favorite doll, Bunny. He steals Sun Lihua's sword from his father's room. They all leave Cloud Recesses successfully, and Lihua flies them as far away as she can before collapsing.

Lihua is struggling with how physically weak she is after her confinement and her strong aversion to strangers and crowds, but they still start trying to fix things. They go to Yunping, where Lan Xichen convinces a three year old Meng Yao and his mother, Meng Shi, that he is from the future and can help them escape.

Then they track down Cangse-Sanren and Wei Changze and baby Wei Ying. Lan Xichen recruits Wei Ying's parents to the Time-Fixing Mom Squad while A-Zhan and A-Ying and A-Yao go play with tops. Wei Ying gives Lan Zhan a top with bunnies on it and entices him into tickling him and Lan Zhan attempts to teach Wei Ying about rules.
