[Lotus Lantern] I'm Just Passing Time in Heaven (Yang Jian Fanfiction)

Meow meow meow! A new story! I still want to write something lighthearted. The main story is complete. There might be a Yang Xiaobai extra, depending on my mood. Also, Chenxiang and Xiaoyu's daughter is indeed named Liu, hehe. Some things on Tieba have been upsetting, so I don't plan on going there for now. But the world is vast, and I can't expect everyone to be both wise and virtuous. I'll just avoid them.

This story is told in the first person. "I," the heroine, am the consciousness of Langhuan Immortal Mansion, the library of the former Heavenly Emperor Dijun, given form. I go by "Langhuan" and possess the "Eye of Omniscience": by seeing the current state of any person, thing, or object, I can calculate its state in the next moment, essentially predicting the future. It's like Laplace's demon in classical physics. But Langhuan's magical power is weak, roughly like Wang Yuyan in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. Her predictions are extremely accurate, but the time span she can predict is very short due to her limited magical power. So she mostly uses them to gamble with other immortals. In the future, during the events of The Lotus Lantern, no matter how much Yang Jian schemes and stirs things up, he can't hide it from Langhuan. But she can only figure out his real intentions a little earlier than everyone else, which doesn't help at all.

Langhuan is based on Laplace's demon from classical physics, Wang Yuyan from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and a bit of self-insertion. The other assorted settings mostly grew out of my story I Fear Chaos Above All. Langhuan Immortal Mansion was burned down by Hu Qinghui back then; the Jade Emperor and Yaoji were born from the Kunshan Yin-Yang Jade; the Jade Emperor is a good uncle and a good older brother; the Queen Mother was once secretly in love with Dijun; the Eighth Princess still isn't the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother's biological daughter, and so on.
