shen yuan (laufey's ver)

I remember reading a thread that mentioned this fact about HC months ago. But now I'm not sure if this is canon or just a headcanon; I tried to investigate but had no luck. Anyway, this comic has managed to escape the abyss before the year ended!

Jiang Cheng, trying to tell WWX indirectly that going against the Jianghu is bad: what is your biggest mistake?

When Lan Wangji was born, Lan Xichen threw his first and only tantrum because his family tried to take him away from the baby to eat and sleep. His mother, who had not managed to muster much enthusiasm or affection for baby Xichen due to the circumstances of his birth, was so moved she begged that he be allowed to stay with her as long as Wangji was in her care.

When Wen Ning was born, he once nearly rolled off the bed. Wen Qing, barely a few years older, found him hanging precariously from the edge and went screaming for her mother. Baby Wen Ning was put to rights and Wen Qing was greatly praised, and thus she took up the mantle of being her brother's keeper.

When baby Nie Huaisang was born, Nie Mingjue was much older, and knew everyone expected him to resent the brother borne of a woman who replaced his mother. But Huaisang's mother was kind to him, had let him touch her pregnant belly to curiously feel the baby's kicks, and now she bade him gently sit by his new brother, who too had her eyes and her quiet, giggle-ish face, and he knew he would guard him forever.
