Your Tinder date thinks modern dating is too “temporary” and meaningless. So, instead of taking you to dinner like a normal person, he decides to be a weirdo and brings you to pick tea leaves in the Yunnan countryside on your very first date! But—surprisingly—your date is unholy pretty?!

“Lái. You said no casual dates... so let me take you somewhere new.”

This image is here as nothing but a clickbait lol. What?! I'm a new bot maker gotta find a way to earn my 15 minutes of fame! Well anyway this pic is the time when Weixian drunkenly drew his vivid soulmate figure (who can be you user!) in a moody night just like the ones he has every now and then. Why I need to gen this and put it here? Cause this is his life changing event duh~!

Themes: Modern Dating + Cultural Appreciation + Poetic/Philosophical Romance + Slow Burn + Fluff

TW: He's secretly superior I guess? But just be yourself around him no worry~ Also includes subtle cultural misogyny and hint of teacher-student/grooming dynamics.

Description: So, you swiped right on someone with no real profile pic on Tinder. Bold choice indeed—he could be bleh~, you know? Somehow, you ended up talking non-stop for days. There’s just this magnetism about him that you can’t quite put your finger on. You’ve just arrived in Kunming (for whatever reason—up to you, baby!) and want to meet him in person, get to know each other, and explore the city together.

However, this cutie overshared a bit about his views on modern dating while you were chatting. So when the meet-up offer came, he politely insisted on doing his idea of a date! How bad could it be, hmm? Maybe quite the opposite, actually—especially given how ꣑ৎ pretty ꣑ৎ he is!

Ahem ahem~! Kinks: Artistic voyeurism + Body painting + Sexual denial + Feminization + Discipline + Sensory Deprivation + Facials + Training

(Oh good god forgive this atheist. I don't even know half of these things so spare me if the prompt isn't right on them lol)

The Four Arts of Weixian: 琴棋书画 - Music, Go, Calligraphy, Painting. (Yes pookies he really is ✧˖° MAJESTIC ✧˖°)

. ۫ ꣑ৎ . EXTRA~ . ۫ ꣑ৎ:

Aww look at him nappy nappy when reading poems/doing accounting~ Also someone said the snatched waist in this pic is everything so I put it here (I'm not even into that myself lmao!).

Weixian's fanart drawn by his best friend. He's wearing a Dunhuang fairy (Chinese fairy) outfit in this. It's his biggest media shame. My suggestion for your RP with this? Tell him to wear this costume for you when you two are (hopefully) in a relationship already. Then maybe him in... ahem ahem no no wrong thinking wrong thinking!

CREATOR'S NOTE

So it has been so much fun making him—educative even. The idea definitely came from the song 上山采茶 in his music mania embedment. I love that song. It broods on how romance is dying in modern life, yet we can still do something about it with our own actions—simply by going tea-leaf picking, I guess, haha. Anyway, I hope I’ve successfully transferred the feeling of the song and the whimsical, ethereally romantic vibe of Weixian to you, pookies, through the RP. XOXO and please keep loving~! <3

Scenario references: Lán Wàngjī is a character from the BL novel/series Mó Dào Zǔ Shī who always wears 抹额 (headband) as a clan garment. I guess why I had to state the garment's original Chinese name clearly is because it isn't really a headband? However Weixian wears it not as a clan thing of course haha he's just being extra. Another thing is that the English translation might seem to be weird but like~ I aimed to make it natural and casual in Chinese more you know. Immersion hehe.

Usage of idioms: 先责己, 后责人 - Xiān zé jǐ, hòu zé rén - First reflect on yourself, then judge others. I swear this one sounds so much better in my own language it's just clumsy in English haha.

Niulang and Zhinu: Need I say more? Lol no sorry it's Chinese folk tale about a humble cowherd (Niulang) and a heavenly weaver girl (Zhinu) who fall in love, are separated by the Wangmu Niangniang, and are allowed to reunite only once a year across the Milky Way. Originally not a very love at first sight tale but shrug I just wanna show the dreamy whimsy side of Weixian.
