Jiang Cheng Critical MDZS Fics

~*~*~ A Definitive List ~*~*~

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

For When Catharsis Demands It

~ Because Sometimes All You Really Want ~

Is To Read Some Nice, Satisfying JC-Bashing

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Since there aren't many MDZS fic rec lists that cater exclusively to those of us who dislike Jiang Cheng, I decided to make my own. This is a masterpost for the three different rec lists I've put together.

These are all the fics I've found to date which portray Jiang Cheng in a negative context. Not fics which don't mention him at all; but fics which actually portray him as his canonical self, and/or engage in JC-bashing. Not all of them bash him; but none of them engage in JC-whitewashing.

Each rec is listed with the story title/link, author, rating, chapter total/completion status, official summary, warnings, my personal summary/notes, comments on how JC appears in any additional MDZS fics by that author (if I had time or it was applicable), story setting, and word count. All fics feature a WangXian pairing unless otherwise stated.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

There are three separate posts linked to this list:

One-Shots

Complete Multi-Chapter Fics

Ongoing WIPs

All WIPs included are still being updated as of last date of editing written beside each. If any of them end up discontinued I will move them to a new section for Abandoned WIPs.

If anyone knows of any other JC-Critical MDZS fics which are not included on this list, I'd be thrilled to hear about them. I will continue to update this list as I find good additions to it.

@plan-d-to-i I promised to tag you, so here you go! I think I've already sent you most of these; but I'm still working on expanding it, so there should be more soon.

This is probably the saltiest, funniest book review I've ever read.

I've never read the book it's about; saw a rec for it and clicked on it, only to see this review and think twice about reading it. But the review had me in stitches and I wanted to share it.

THE REVIEW:

There are a lot of plot problems with this novel. Most of us grow in a society with non-arranged marriages and even a smaller percent of the population are actually royalty and don't understand the importance of bloodline, the reason why kings marry off female courtiers, etc and why Lucia is really just a lazy bum who acts like she's on a vacation for the rest of her life.

Spoiler:

First take a look at Lucia's mother, Amanda. Amanda snuck Lucia and herself out of the castle and decides to hide in the country's capital, probably only a few hundred miles/km away from the imperial castle. Yes they were able to successfully hide in the capital but that also implies that the jobs that they did were not outdoors because outdoor labor would risk them being found by the members of the royal family which also implies that they probably didn't do any hard labor. The arthor writes that Lucia and her mother lives with some foster family for a short time and then her mother dies from a plague that spreads throughout the city. Lucia is later found after Lucia delivers a letter written by her mother, before her mother is about to die to the royal family, which results in Lucia to be brought back to the castle to start her supposedly new dream as noted by the synopsis. Lucia then reenters the imperial court as a courtier except she does nothing a courtier would do and instead hides in the castle like she is leveling up her sneak skills like she is going to be a master thief. What is most impressive is that her sneak skill is so high that she even manages to be invisible during church service, a public function that all royalty is pretty much required to participate in. In fact, Lucia's sneak skills are so good that she is even more elusive than a WIMP, Weakly interacting massive particles (quantum physics), and since there is no Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in that day in age, no one but God, aka the author, is able to prove that she exist which is what literally happens; She only shows herself when the writer says so; More details will clarify this fact later.

What the people around Lucia perceive about her at first is that she seems autistic but Lucia, being the legendary-tier thief that she is, doesn't do anything about it. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure having autism isn't really going to help a person in a society that does arranged marriages in finding a spouse. Maybe you can argue that there are many stages of autism but the fact is that the rumors of her having autism have already spread and she makes no effort to disprove these rumors, like showing up at social events and actually holding a conversation with anybody.

Lucia is also born out of wedlock, which means her mother didn't marry the king, no church-held ceremonial service took place to declare the union of Lucia's mother and the late king (unless the church does postmortem marriages) which means she is a illegitimate child, aka bastard child, which means she isn't even a princess but at most a legitimized bastard. To be clear, being born out of wedlock implies that Lucia's mother isn't even a concubine, wife, or consort of the king.

Let's just assume that the king gave out the title in advance, well he's not dead at the time he receives the letter but he obviously can't marry a dead women unless the church allows a union between dead people which could be done in some religions, Lucia still had opportunities to go to meetings, festivals, balls (dance events), and even church service to show off herself; The importance here is to show potential suitors that she isn't autistic but nope, Lucia is too busy leveling up to be a sorceress leaving the rumors of her being autistic well in circulation. Maybe the king married Lucia's mother in their last seconds? But that would mean that Lucia would have to be present at the wedding which is held by the church which is a pretty big event since her father is literally the king of the kingdom and would give Lucia a huge amount of presence/publicity. Maybe said event does happen but Lucia acted like she was autistic which lead to the rumors of her being autistic? To be clear, said event might not have happened, I made it up to fill plot holes but the author does state that Lucia seems autistic at first when she enters the castle.

I know females act reserved when it comes to romance but there is a clear line between acting reserved and not even telling people you exist and the latter is what Lucia clearly does at her stay in the castle. I'm not sure how anyone is supposed to find her if she hides in her room all day. Maybe if Lucia does some singing, some prince might come along and at least hear her singing which would be a pretty good start even if she can't sing well; Rapunzel reference for those who don't know. When it comes time for her to be married off, she is disappointed that her brother, now the 9th King of Hesse is going to marry her off to some hedonist count after said count won the auction. The fact here is that even if the king was still alive, the current king is the 8th king of Hesse and Lucia's father, would still have to marry her off. Lucia's father might not use an auction system but the fact that he wasn't able to find any suitors means that either he was too busy, no suitors wanted her, or Lucia couldn't compete with the competition, or a combination of said options; Maybe she is waiting until the internet to be invented so she can just use dating sites? Her brother marrying off siblings in his court is proper and something he is required to do anyway, unless you think that Lucia can just leech off the royal family forever or maybe she really is trying to be wizard; If you're going to be a wizard, you better be a F-ing wizard. As stated earlier, her brother and potential suitors all think she is autistic or rumors of her being autistic make it really hard for Lucia to get arranged with suitors that are par/sub-par so she has to settle with the worse of the worse, some hedonist count. If her father, her brother, and suitors knew that she was not autistic that would greatly increase the chances of them trying to find a good match. I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure you would use a reporting agency when you are about to purchase a car from a re-seller and this is exactly what the bidders do, they ask around for the historical equivalent for CarFax and probably learn about rumors of Lucia being autistic, not a very desireable trait for their children's arranged marriage partner if you ask anyone. Maybe if Lucia actually appeared at social events which would build her presence/popularity, and also serve to disprove the fact that she is autistic then none of her problems, problems that she caused herself, would have happened. Also, if Lucia's mother did not take her out of the castle then Lucia would have had time to educate herself, be known among peers, advertise herself, and maybe even get a suitor to ask for her hand in marriage in front of the king.

I feel like the novel has no consistency. The author makes Lucia's value during her time in the royal castle next to nothing by giving Lucia the curse of silence, it's like the same curse that happens to the Islamic version of Mary Magdalene (True fact and you can read about it by Googling the search phrase "First Miracle of Jesus in Islam", make sure its the Islam version because the numbers don't match in the Christian version) except there is no talking baby Jesus and Lucia's curse also comes with autism, Thanks God!

Lucia spends all her time doing nothing and just relaxes all day and just expects handsome men to come ask her hand in marriage. It's like she read Sleeping Beauty and expects something similar to happen to her; Fun fact, the original version of Sleeping Beauty and variants include either the prince having s*x or raping the sleeping princess, maybe Lucia is into sleep fetish?, which results in the sleeping princess bearing children so maybe she expected that too; Disney wasn't even born yet so the G-rated version doesn't exist yet or maybe it does exist and she hopes that the G-rated version happens to her. She clearly does nothing to change her fate while at the castle despite the synopsis saying she does something; Maybe she does some closed-door cultivation while in the castle to become a Taoist Immortal? Anyway, no surprise later when all her dream of just chilling and relaxing every day for the rest of her life, her foster family were clearly Timon and Pumbaa from Disney's the Lion King, "hakuna matata", It means no worries for the rest of your days; is crushed after no one really wants her and when her brother tries a last resort option of auctioning her off to be married, far better value than just having her eat, sleep, and do a good job at being a liability, the next thing you know, she is all healed by some divine being (cure for autism found!), she suddenly changes her behavior, gains a ton of awareness, and actually has an ambition for self-improvement. I wouldn't be surprised if she uses her legendary-tier higher invisibility to sneak out of the castle since it seems to be a hereditary trait/skill. The story would also be more believable if Lucia died from the thought of marrying a hedonist count and someone transmigrated into her body thus dramatically changing her character because this is what exactly happens.

There is also the option of being disowned by the royal family and marrying a lowborn aka commoner. The number of suitors may increase, obvious fact that commoners greatly outnumber royalty = more suitors, which means she can pick from a larger number of suitors but why give Lucia all the presence in the world when she is among the commoners and none when she is among royalty? Maybe she can request her brother, Lucia's brother is now the king and has the authority to request excommunication, to be excommunicated by the church, because no one ever sees her at church which is a very valid cause for her excommunication, which would allow her to marry a commoner because excommunication also is also a acceptable clause to disown and exile someone.

[collapse]

If you're wondering, there are a many cases of high profile princess and princes revoking their own titles to marry lowborn/non-nobles and still end up with happy lives with no one intimidating them:

Princess Mako of Akishino (Japan), King Edward VIII (England, abdicated from the throne)

Just to prove that I'm not biased, Emperor Akihito and his son Naruhito, former is the current ruler of Japan and latter the crown prince of Japan, married commoners but they are a male and they still kept their royal status. Lucia was very far in the line in succession, that's if females were even in the line of succession at all. The only point to keeping her royal status is to the ease of marrying other royalty. If she doesn't intend to marry royalty, then there would be no harm to just revoking her title to marry a commoner, the royal family would just formally disown her, and both sides can go on with their happy non-overly dramatic lives.

I think this whole "Wei Wuxian has low self-worth" take comes from viewing his heroism through a purely modern Western lens, when in reality, it's actually written as a classic example of traditional Chinese heroism, where selflessness, honor, and sacrifice are seen as strengths.

In a lot of modern Western interpretations, people often analyze characters through a psychological lens, connecting their actions to trauma or emotional baggage. While there's no problem with this approach (bc MDZS does actually explore some elements of modern psychological complexity), relying on that alone can miss the bigger cultural picture.

In Wei Wuxian’s case here, his selflessness, which is tied to traditional heroism and a strong moral compass, gets misunderstood as low self-esteem or a reaction to trauma. This misreading reduces his heroic sacrifices to emotional damage, instead of seeing them as intentional, principled choices driven by a strong sense of moral responsibility.

Wei Wuxian’s choices—like protecting the weak, sacrificing his golden core, and standing up for what’s right even at a huge cost etc— are grounded in this type of traditional heroism and NOT simply a byproduct of trauma. In MDZS, sacrifice and selflessness isn’t about self-doubt or a lack of self-worth; it’s about courage and staying true to one’s principles.

Fuck Around and Find Out

[trollprincess]

We have regular doors on either side of revolving doors because 492 people died at the Cocoanut Grove in 1942. We have radar for air traffic control and the Federal Aviation Administration because two planes collided over the Grand Canyon in 1956. Natural gas smells like that because it didn’t before it blew up the New London school in 1937 and killed around 300 people. We have a LOT of fire safety rules because of the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire. We have stronger cockpit doors because of 9/11 and stronger security for employees because of Pacific Southwest Flight 1771 and lighted aisles on planes because of Air Canada Flight 797.

I mean, that’s just off the top of my head after getting home from working twelve hours overnight. Two hundred and twelve episodes of @disasterarea-podcast, and nearly all of them involved the disaster in question spawning new regulations or rules to prevent the same thing from happening again.

[roach-works]

actually i’d like to point out: we have safety regulations because people PROTESTED AND FOUGHT AND STRUCK AND DEMONSTRATED AND RAISED HELL. it took the bereaved families of those who died in the triangle shirtwaist factory years of campaigning for the government to pass regulations about fire and door locks. it took open warfare--the government was sending in troops, dropping bombs-- for miners in appalachia to get basic safety regulations. it takes parent groups and boycots and unions fighting cops in the street. it takes marches on washington. it takes a lot of journalism.

the government does nothing for the silent dead, the humble dead, the polite dead. a dead body is shoveled into the ground and forgotten by the next business quarter.

safety regulations are not written in the blood of silent, disposable victims. they’re written in the blood of those who split their knuckles and screamed their throats raw for a better world.

don’t ever underestimate the value of protest.

[findingfeather]

The related wisdom to this is: any time you find a rule that seems OBVIOUSLY silly, extraneous, etc, especially when connected to safety, figure out why it exists before you decide whether or not to change it.

Sometimes, genuinely, rules do become outdated because technology changes or usage changes; sometimes, rules are ported wholesale from one location to another without thinking about whether the fact that the new location is a massively different latitude makes, for instance, whether something freezes at -20C moot or not.

But you don't know that until you have fully investigated why it was put into place. So investigate first.

[flipocrite]

It should be restated that people dying is never enough to enact change. The capitalists relented because they had to – not because they saw the error of their careless ways (it wasn’t careless, but calculated), but because they wanted to keep their customers, their money, and their heads firmly attached to their necks. The threat to their heads was often what did it, and that’s why they’ve invested so heavily in an impenetrable militarized police force ready to mow down protesters and picketers. “Law and order” becomes all the more important when you’ve got everything just the way you want it, and you’re about to start pissing everybody off.

[inkskinned]

i hate the "meta glasses" with their invisible cameras i hate when people record strangers just-living-their-lives i hate the culture of "it's not illegal so it's fine". people deserve to walk around the city without some nameless freak recording their faces and putting them up on the internet. like dude you don't show your own face how's that for irony huh.

i hate those "testing strangers to see if they're friendly and kind! kindness wins! kindness pays!" clickbait recordings where overwhelmingly it is young, attractive people (largely women) who are being scouted for views and free advertising . they're making you model for them and they reap the benefits. they profit now off of testing you while you fucking exist. i do not want to be fucking tested. i hate the commodification of "kindness" like dude just give random people the money, not because they fucking smiled for it. none of the people recording has any idea about the origin of the term "emotional labor" and none of us could get them to even think about it. i did not apply for this job! and you know what! i actually super am a nice person! i still don't want to be fucking recorded!

& it's so normalized that the comments are always so fucking ignorant like wow the brunette is so evil so mean so twisted just because she didn't smile at a random guy in an intersection. god forbid any person is in hiding due to an abusive situation. no, we need to see if they'll say good morning to a stranger approaching them. i am trying to walk towards my job i am not "unkind" just because i didn't notice your fucked up "social experiment". you fucking weirdo. stop doing this.

[wilwheaton]

The women who write Shit You Should Care About coined a term for this: Panopticontent.

In a Panopticon, the prisoners never know if they are being watched, which is psychological torture, and prohibited under international law. It follows that, if we are in public, never knowing if or that we are being filmed for something that may end up being viewed by millions of people, with all the risks that sort of thing carries, Panopticontent needs to be stopped. Probably the quickest way to curb it is to demonitize it, but that's never going to happen; companies like Meta have spent too much money trying to make it happen.

Late Stage Capitalism is the fucking WORST.

I literally have no idea what this post is originally about; I just saw it and my first reaction was that it was about a JC-stan.

[jiangwanyinscatmom]

I think what people seem to always either ignore or just do not want to admit for some reason, is that Wei Wuxian is one of the few actually honorable characters in the work. And his honor is what makes him so outstanding and dependable despite all the slander that others tried to posit as otherwise.

[randomness-is-my-order]

hating/criticising jiang cheng for his canonical shitty behaviour is not “bashing” like girl, he wasn’t written in a way to be likeable as a person and anyone bringing that up or expressing their dislike for him doesn’t make them an unreasonable cynic incapable of seeing his “goodness” like pls let’s have some sense here; calling jin guangshan a predatory sleazebag is not “bashing” because that’s literally his canonical reading, just the way calling jiang cheng an asshole manchild is literally his characterisation in the book. bashing is what you’d call the bad faith call-outs towards characters like wei wuxian where the hate is moreso a result of intense personal bias than actual source material backing. bashing is where you make an unnecessary mockery out of characters who don’t seem to deserve it. but rightfully disliking jiang cheng & making a post about it is not bashing and people need to stop thinking that being unsympathetic towards an antagonistic figure needs a thesis to justify the dislike, otherwise it’s illogical nonsense––because the thesis already exists and it’s called mdzs.

Shocker. 🇷🇺🖕.

Ugh. The eye roll I just rolled. 🐑 🫡. Teach people media literacy 😭

[deistarr]

Yeah, Facebook supposedly has people fact-checking any and all news links and removing any that are fake news, but it's actually just regular people taking down links to articles/content that they personally disagree with or dislike. Like I once reposted a link to an article from a major news publication in another province, which contained facts and statistics all backed up by sources, but because whoever was fact-checking it disagreed with the stance taken on some political issue that was referenced in the text, it was blocked as "fake news".

Facebook also banned all the promotional material about a semi-biographical film based on the experiences of the film-maker's grandfather who went through the holocaust, with the justification that it could incite hatred. Because apparently, no one should learn about or discuss the holocaust in any way these days because it was a long time ago, and bringing it up now might make people hate neo-nazis. *Seriously.*

So yeah, 100% agree on hating Facebook.

[partingggg-deactivated20240227]

this might be controversial in the book sphere but personally, i'd like to disregard the notion that readers must "connect" and "empathize" with a character in order to fully enjoy their story.

seriously, stop opening books looking for a character or story to relate to and start looking for a reason to care. is this character interesting enough to follow? is the plot moving in a way that begs your attention? can you feel the stakes looming over your head? does the conflict keep things tense? do you care about what could happen next?

you shouldn't need relatability to enjoy a book, you need a reason to keep turning the page. books are literally about new and different experiences. if originality and variety bother you, stick to fanfiction.

[plan-d-to-i]

THIS.

I’ve always viewed reading/watching a film etc as a great little opportunity to get a different pov than my own. If I want more me I can just bounce around my own head for a bit.

Besides 9 times out of 10 when ppl stan a character bc they’re sooo relatable to them- it’s either a total misread of the character, poor attempt to jam them into some mundane tropes, or completely delusional 😭.

[deistarr]

There's also always the possibility that they themselves are a terrible person, so *of course* they find that nasty character incredibly relatable and want to defend them using all the excuses and justifications they usually use for themselves. Because not only does that help them reinforce to themselves that they are not actually bad person, and all the terrible shit they do and the awful way they treat other people is totally justified because *reasons*; but it also gives them the opportunity to convince *other* people to agree with them, thereby making themselves feel validated and vindicated in being a complete and utter asshole.

Rabid JC stans who refuse to listen to logic or facts generally fall into one of three categories - stupid, ignorant, or toxic. Sometimes, they're even all three at once.

What a *lovely* bunch of people. 🙄

Really, the only thing "wrong" that Wei Wuxian did, was rely on his belief that Jiang Cheng could and would, choose to be a better person and would stand by him in equally hard times. But, Jiang Cheng was too self-obsessed and bitter to see it as such, which was why he said and continued to either say Wei Wuxian just had a hero complex, or, Wei Wuxian was a traitor. Wei Wuxian chose the ones that needed help, as he always did, over selfish self-serving. He had nothing to gain, but Jiang Cheng told the world and allowed it to say the exact opposite.
