Ill Boy has been changed to Delicate And Sickly. Example does not fit criteria for trope.


* IllBoy: Mentions his consorts and concubines help to quench his excess of yang energy.



* IllBoy: His excess of yang energy means he bathes with cold water, eats bland food and needs to have regular sex with a yin-natured partner to not devolve into a horny, agressive maniac.

* RomanticAsexual: Implied to be demisexual, something that complicates his job as a concubine because he doesn't get why his servants are scolding him for failing to seduce Lan Wangji.

* DidntSeeThatComing: He certainly wasn't expecting the Emperor kidnapping him off the streets because the Imperial Brother needed a concubine.


Added DiffLines:

* RoyalBlood: His mother Cangse Sanren was an Imperial princess from the previous dynasty. Lan Xichen heavily insists upon this little fact when Wei Wuxian is introduced at court as Lan Wangji's concubine.


Added DiffLines:

* VirginInAWhiteDress: He's dressed in pristine white after being gifted to Lan Wangji as a concubine, and it soon becomes apparent that he has no experience whatsoever regarding sex or romantic relationships.


Added DiffLines:

* HonourRelatedAbuse: Since a barbarian lord wasn't considered a worthy spouse to an Imperial princess, the Empress offered her a white silk rope to hang herself with. Cangse Sanren declined the option.
* MalignedMixedMarriage: Twice! First she was betrothed to a barbarian lord, with her mothers (adoptive and biological) deciding they would rather see her dead, and Cangse Sanren running away to become a cultivator was lauded because the candidate was that distateful. Then she fell in love with the extremely lowborn Wei Changze, and everyone condemned her for it.

* HarmfulToMinors: Both are around fourteen years old, and poor Fenmian genuinely believed she would die for finding Suibian.

to:

* ThemeNamingThemeNaming: ''Qinmian'' means "hardworking" and ''Fenmian'' means "diligent". They also share the same ending with Mian''mian''.

** His attempt to give Wei Wuxian his sword back sends the whole household in a panic, because a weapon in the Palace of Quiescence basically is a death sentence.



* PrincelyYoungMan: Even when he was fighting on the frontside with no one aware of his true identity, he was noted to have the bearing of a true gentleman.

* YouNeedToGetLaid: Eunuchs and officials really want for him to unwind and stop running interference in court intrigues, so they throw Wei Wuxian at him. It's a mixed success.



* InnocentFanserviceGuy

to:

* InnocentFanserviceGuyInnocentFanserviceGuy: As a concubine, everything he does and says is interpretated with a seductive slant. Wei Ying is nothing but literal and hints completely fly above his head.



* LikeParentLikeChild: Wei Wuxian isn't too hot about the concubine jig because he knows he takes after his mother, being possessed of a wandering and untamed temperament.

to:

** After learning what dual cultivation is, he's very eager to explore this new field of research. Lan Wangji is rather flustered and disappointed by the lack of romance.

to:

* ObliviousToLove
ObliviousToLove: Gifted as a SexSlave, his servants constantly dropping hints, the Emperor sending him porn and asking him to stop playing with his brother's heart, and Wei Wuxian only twigs about Lan Wangji's maybe not platonic feelings towards him when the Imperial Brother outright kisses him on the lips.
* RomanticAsexual
RagsToRoyalty: From a starving rogue cultivator to an Imperial concubine. He's not very happy about the change, though.
* SexSlave
RomanticAsexual: Implied to be demisexual, something that complicates his job as a concubine because he doesn't get why his servants are scolding him for failing to seduce Lan Wangji.
* SignificantWardrobeShift
SexSlave: Being a concubine means he cannot refuse his Imperial husband's advances. Fortunately, Lan Wangji really wants for Wei Ying to have consensual sex with him.
* UnexpectedVirginSignificantWardrobeShift: In order to show he's now the Imperial Brother's property, Wei Wuxian is stripped off his tattered black and red robes to be dressed in silken white garments.
* UnexpectedVirgin: Everybody at court believes he had a passionate, wildly sexual affair with the Imperial Brother while they were fighting in the Sunshot Campaign. Not only it's entirely false, Wei Ying is completely clueless about sex and the requirements to be a concubine.

* HeCleansUpNicely: Wei Wuxian is taken to the Cloud Recesses with nothing but tattered old robes on his back. After being gifted as a concubine, he regularly bathes, is dressed in pristine white silk and Mianmian even does his hair and make-up.

to:

* InnocentlyInsensitive
InnocentlyInsensitive: He does his best to act as quiet and submissive as he can, believing his Imperial husband would prefer him this way. Lan Wangji actually fell in love with his wild spirit, and is horrified to see Wei Ying forced to be a toy for the Imperial Brother's pleasure.

PrincelyYoungMan: Even when he was fighting on the frontside with no one aware of his true identity, he was noted to have the bearing of a true gentleman.
* RoyalBrat
RoyalBrat: Subtle, but Lan Wangji is just as horrendously spoiled rotten as his older brother. He thinks nothing of his brother casually offering him a SexSlave (he gets better) and outright throws tantrums when things don't go his way.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He went to fight on the frontlines for the Sunshot Campaign, in spite of being a first-rank prince that could have stayed safe in the Cloud Recesses, and later investigates a clan's massacre.

* GoMadFromTheIsolationGoMadFromTheIsolation: Already a mite unstable from living in the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian is then locked away in the Palace of Quiescence with very limited opportunities for intellectual stimulation and social interactions. He hangs on his sanity merely because he reminds himself it's supposed to be temporary until he can ran away.



* LineageComesFromTheFather

to:

* GreaterScopeGood / GreaterScopeVillain: It's hard to determine where he falls, since his naming Wei Wuxian a concubine basically reduced the necromancer to a SexSlave locked in a GildedCage, but he mainly aims to ensure Lan Wangji's conjugal happiness with Wei Wuxian.

InnocentlyInsensitive:
** He offers to send a letter to Lotus Pier, as Jiang Cheng would have no other choice but to answer. Wei Wuxian begs him to not involve himself in the necromancer's family troubles.
** He insists Wei Ying and his loved ones are safe now. Wei Wuxian is painfully aware the Wen Remnants still are endangered.
* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYouILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Lan Wangji shows subtle distress in front of Wei Wuxian following court etiquette -- because he didn't fell in love with a quiet, submissive concubine, but with the passionate and energetic Wei Ying from the Sunshot Campaign.



* BeleagueredBureaucrat: He's the poor shmuck saddled with making the very ''male'' Wei Wuxian a suitable concubine, something that outright goes against tradition, because of the Emperor's whim.

* FreudianExcuse: A ''man'' is named an Imperial concubine, just because the Emperor thought it would make his infamously dour and joyless brother happy, and if Su She cannot follow he will be disposed of. Wei Wuxian actually gains a shred of empathy for the guy when he realizes Su She likely is stressed out of his mind.

* BitchInSheepsClothing
DiscriminateAndSwitch: Lan Wangji is rather unhappy with Wei Wuxian for immediately assuming an eunuch is up to no good, only for Wei Wuxian to explain his distrust of Jin Guangyao has nothing to do with his missing jewels and everything with him being a Jin.
