Legend of Yunqian (云芊传)

[superborb]

tl;dr a currently "airing" GL (f/f) show, where each ep is 4 min long, showing only the tropey relationship and plot highlights.



The premise is that Lingchuan Gate has guarded a fan for nearly a century. The sect now consists of Mu Yun (the shifu) and Qian Caifeng. Qian Caifeng is mischievous and discovers that the fan controls time and space! She travels to the future to find Xiao Qian, who is her doppelgänger. Xiao Qian travels back in time and falls head over heels for her shifu! Shenanigans ensue.



Thus far, there has been: a gratuitous falling scene,



an intruding on shifu bathing scene,



and also the classic sharing a bed.



Fansubs are being released daily on youtube!

That's a very modern bedroom considering shifu bathes with a bucket in a stream.

(That might even ne an ikea bedside table)

It's time travel! So that section was in the present time aha

[rekishi]

Ahhhhhhhhh, I didn't realize shifu also travelled! ok then.

(I'm hella sleep deprived today, my brain is slow, sorry)

[superborb]

Ahh no need to apologize!! It's not like I was really clear about the context!

I confess I watched the first episode of this and my brain went 'cute, but let's make it Wangxian'. Young Wei Wuxian, travelling to meet some present-day modern-AU version of himself who's all 'so this Hanguang-jun fellow, you say he's hot?' and then swaps the fancy fan (is NHS to blame here too?) in WWX's hands for some lube before disappearing back to their summer lecture series days. Lan Wangji won't know what hit him.

(I was thinking 'what if NHS's fan could time travel' too tbh)

Also you should write it! :D

[narie]

Nice try! I have cleansed myself of lingering plot bunnies in time for 2021, and I am not going to be so easily swayed from that!

[rekishi]

*pokes you*

You should though. Because no one else will and wouldn't it be a shame if it remained unwritten.

[superborb]

Ahaha, by being really a collection of tropes, it fits well for AUs/fusions!

[narie]

Yeah, although shifu does have some XXC vibes, now that I've seen another ep. But also, like, why is no one surprised by the sudden change in clothing and hairstyle??

[superborb]

What, when Xiao Qian suddenly appears in the past? I assume that gets cut in the 4 min "highlight" version of a show lolol
