Gather ‘round folks, it’s story time. I’ve been reading MDZS aloud to a friend, and maybe you’d like me to read to you, too.

This is of course an amateur fan reading— Chinese is not my first language, and while I am working on learning I will doubtless make mistakes with names. Hopefully I will improve with time. For purposes of reading aloud, I’ve made a few editorial changes to word order. Also, I have tried to include all errata.

Please buy the book to support the author, translators, and artists!

Recordings can be found on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPVvTx4cIRM54bibpfYFRbdVmfhXEVqZx), where I’ll be trying to post weekly until I catch up with my backlog, and on drive (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CJKmIC7rVJxOpe-_axf87R-7ihUSaHF0) if you want mp3s and to jump in with everything I’ve recorded so far.

I wrote this fic as part of the MXTX Reverse Trope Fest for the prompt ‘accidental elderly acquisition’ and when I posted the first chapter the response blew me away so much it was actually a while before I could finish the second.

Guys! The pressure!

This fic was so much fun to write, making Lan Qiren that relative and writing A-Yuan as a child constantly getting into a mess and having Wei Ying just along for the ride. The reverse trope was supposed to be ‘accidental elderly acquisition’ but in hindsight the story really is ‘intentional nephew and grandbaby acquisition’ as Lan Qiren decided to solve his grandbabylessness problems for himself.

There's also some amazing stuff inspired by this fic, including some beautiful artwork by @teleport-warning (found here), a podfic by Stasia (here) and a Spanish translation by evirtual (here).

Thanks to everyone who liked, commented and shared this fic!!!!

In celebration of this milestone I'm writing a new Accidental Uncle Acquisition fic: 'On Little Cat Feet', in which LQR adopts a cat who turns out to be !whoops! WWX. I wanted to post it today but it keeeeeeeeppppppssssss gggggeeeeeeeettttttttiiiiiiiinnnnnnnggggggg lllllllooooooooonnnnnnggggggggeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr...........

Hi I’m kind of an idiot and you made wonderful art for my fic several years ago and I’m not sure if I asked if I could include it in the fic itself. Is that something you’d be okay with? Let me know! ❤️❤️❤️

I’d be honored! I love that fic and was excited to have an opportunity to draw for it. 💙
