Don't Mix Unfinished Arrays and a Tiger Tally, Or maybe do?
Summary
So, a cross-dressing cultivator from Modao Zushi ends up skipping a dimension over (not intended) and gets stranded, meets a scrap-collecting cultivator(god) with bad luck, befriends said person, and somehow between trying to push said friend and the obvious person they like (Ghost King... apparently) together, annnnd ends up getting dragged along to. Well, it could be worse.Note: This is an incredibly self-indulgent fic, don't take it too seriously, it's just something I wanted to write because I am a stressed potato and the CMA review term is coming up and I need the comfort this provides. So you know, if you don't like inserts in which a character is involved with the destined couple (because I could never write Hua Cheng and Xie Lian without actually having them as a pairing, that's just... wrong...) please kindly turn around. If not, welcome aboard, there is a distressing lack of these two / OCs and I want to rectify that!
Note
A little FYI: Lin Shuo is a character I wanted to write for Modao Zushi, and I may still do so in the future. This is what you should know about themName: Lin Shuo 霖 烁 Pronounced: Lihn Shoo-ohCourtesy: Xidao 喜道 Pronounced: ziy-dia-ohSword: Aoyun 奧運 Pronounced: Owu yun烁 (shuò) meaning "bright, brilliant, luminous, glisten, glimmer"霖 (lín) meaning "long spell of rain"喜 (xǐ) meaning "to enjoy, to be fond of"道 (dào) meaning "path, road, way"Aoyun 奧運, 奥运, 奥云, 傲云, 傲雲 m & f ChineseThis name is made up of 奧 (ào)/奥 (ào, yù), the simplified version of 奧, meaning "mysterious, obscure, profound" and 運/运 (yùn) meaning "run, luck, fortune, ship, transportLin Shuo is a disciple of Baoshan Sanren that was originally the child of a brothel prostitute that was abandoned.They had left the mountain as a young teen crossdressing as a man for protection and during their travels had rescued Nie Huaisang from kidnappers and became sworn brothers with Nie Mingjue (who is several years older than them). At some point they met Meng Yao and his mother, taking him in as a student and pseudo little brother, introducing him to the Nie Sect where A-Yao was accepted as a disciple because of the debt owed to Lin Shuo. Mingjue had Lin Shuo tag along as an invited guest when he attended lectures at the Cloud Recesses and there Lin Shuo learned of her Martial Sister Cangse Sanren had died leaving behind a son that was being fostered in the Jiang Sect. Lin Shuo meets her martial nephew and encourages his love of arrays and intelligence. Then Canon happens and I'm going to stop here before I broach into too many spoilers of a potential story, there's a bit of torture, core damage, and betrayal, and ends up with her being responsible for the destruction of the Tiger Tally, which leads to... getting thrown into a different dimension because something fucks it up.
