It is! I'm not done yet reading everything (I'm a slow reader and busy RIP :'D) but I've had so much fun with all of them <3 (yours I'm reading currently but probably gonna take a while to finish because I'm nodding off RIP)
Honestly, I love exploring various implications of canon, especially in the direction of worldbuilding/politics (I'm a simple girl, I love group and social dynamics, haha) but I usually tend to do so more in Canon AUs I've found? Idky it's just where my brain goes apparently lol. (Like the Arranged Marriage AU will be chockful of Haixing-Dixing politics obviously, since it's a political marriage, but it's a Canon AU and not canon compliant, so, uh...
I don't think I mentioned this in my comment but I liked that it wasn't "Professor Shen is Heipaoshi" it was just "Professor Shen is Dixingren" so it was common fear and prejudice working against him rather than any fear of him specifically!
Ahhhh, I'm happy to hear that! :D It's why I didn't want his identity to be entirely revealed (I love secret identities and the complications that come with them and will forever be salty that we didn't get to see the SID's live reactions. And that Zhao Xinci already knew lmao). And anti-Dixing prejudice makes sense, both in general because xenophobia and in specific because weird powers, and in most specifically in the aftermath of an aggressive invasion <.< I was happy to explore a variety of reactions to that reveal :D connecting Shen Wei to his people by having him face the same prejudice was kinda fun, too
(I honestly don't even remember the numbers I requested for, just that one was an artist with a Weilan+Da Qing focus, the other was a fellow writer, and obviously one of them turned out to be china_shop :D)
I do remember that my number was #23 though! Because 22 is my fave number and I was one off 😂
