Day 4 - Feathers
 
The 'feathers' belong to the creature that blessed them with this 'gift'. It always changes its shape when it talks to them. Every time it spirits them away to its realm, it is always a showy thing full of glowing feathers, leaves, or dust. Ziyuan had asked him why all the bullshit once and he had responded that they were the elements of nature in their natural habitat, viewing their contract. Ziyuan called bullshit. She didn't believe in anything she couldn't punch throw Zidian at.
 
"What would you do different, I wonder. It would be ever so amazing to find out."
 
He sounds like her grandfather. She had hated the sorry bastard. Her grandfather, not the creature, although she did hate the creature too. But news of his death had filled her for a brief moment, and emotion that could almost mistakenly be called happiness. So now there's a shapeshifting idiot who is sending her back through time. With a *Wen*. And not even one of the good ones. Her ally to be was a fucking toddler. Yu Ziyuan was going to tear the sky from the heavens and force the gods she didn't believe to fucking explain themselves.
 
But that had to be put on hold, because *toddler*. It's not that Ziyuan hated kids. She just finds them sticky, and gross, and they are somehow *always* moist. It's incredibly unseemly. And having been through the childbirth process, she disliked them all just a little bit more. There was a reason that she had put her foot down after A-Cheng. She had given JFM an heir and a spare, and had thus fulfilled her marital contracts.
 
And for a while it's good. She rescues her family and lives through the sunshot war until one day she wakes up and she is not home. She is with the infernal creature.
 
"Do you know what an enormous boon has been granted to you?" He hisses angrily. "You foolish naked baboon. Remember there are more people in the world. Try again."
 
She storms into Qishan herself, 'stealing' Wen Qing because she is tired. She is tired of fighting a war she wasn't meant to live through. She's tired of having to see her children suffer. She's tired that J&Y aren't as well off as they could be. She would always leave Meishan and she would choose to go back for vacation, but she can't live in Meishan again. That would probably lead to her mass killing all her family members. And she hasn't tried that. *Yet.* But she's keeping the idea on a back burner.
 
Somewhere along the many repeats, they become attuned to each other. They change little things, it's kind of like a game. And there are no consequences. (Besides the mental and emotional pain of having to repeat the worst and final moments of her life on a loop.)
 
And then one day, she is kissing Wen Qing. More accurately, Wen Qing is kissing her. She would hardly say that she was a coward, but that's not a choice she would have made any time soon. Wen Qing leans back. "You can say no, it's ok"
 
And Ziyuan finds herself in love. It's lovely, beautiful, and lighthearted. It's another thing that the creature could choose to take from her.
 
Most of the time they have to conduct their affairs in privacy because they both have reputations, but they start slipping. The first time A-Cheng walked in on WQ' arm wrapped around her waist and kissing her, he turned as red as a tomato and actually *fainted*. Then they had to wait for him to wake up and then have the conversation of why his mother was kissing someone who was roughly his age and *a girl*. Apparently he thought she only liked men. And of course she wouldn't be jumping from the roofs for everyone to see this. She's no JGS.
 
The only reason she doesn't have JFM assassinated is because the children are fond of her and if she has to hear the shitty creature whine about 'the value of human life' she will absolutely impress her teeth upon one of its body parts/appendages (bite him). Just because Zidian and normal human forged weapons didn't work didn't mean that there were other things that could hurt them. And at this point she was more than willing to risk the consequences.
 
Wen Qing is hardly silent either. She regularly snarls at the creature but her needles have no effect on it. In short they must keep this farce going to entertain it otherwise it would do something like 'oh probably devour the universe' he flipped onto its back as a lizard (Ziyuan fiercely wished to step foot on it, but she held herself back.) 'Everything is just so boring, you know, but you guys are making things way more fun.'
