* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: A man carrying a very much unwilling woman away to his home? The Lan junior Disciples decide it's going to be fine, because that's Hanguang-jun.

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Wei Wuxian is first horrified to be ReincarnatedAsTheOppositeSex, and keeps acting as a male in his new body. On the other hand, he's rather disappointed by his modest bust and has no qualms flirting with men now, something that confuses Lan Wangji.

He also thoroughly terrifies Nie Huaisang by quietly seething in front of Wei Wuxian's attempts at flirting for information.


Added DiffLines:

* FirstPeriodPanic: Courtesy of Chinese society being rather heavily gender-segregated, both Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji had no idea whatsoever of menstruation being a thing so completely freaked when Mo Lian's body started bleeding, thinking Wei Wuxian was about to die or suffering a miscarriage from Mo Lian's previous intimate activities. It takes their innkeeper's mother intervening to reassure everyone.

* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Defied by Lan Wangji -- yes, marrying "Mo Lian" would make their traveling together much easier and smoother, but he staunchly refuses to force Wei Wuxian in a relationship unless his love is fully willing, and plainly explains that to the GenderBender.



* HonorableMarriageProposal: As Lan Wangji is preparing to investigate the cursed arm's origin, Lan Xichen points traveling alone with "Mo Lian" will ruin "her" reputation and suggests his brother ought to take "her" as his bride to avoid spreading rumours of promiscuity.

* SexlessMarriage
RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Wei Wuxian decides he has to escape the Mo estate ''right now'' as he overhears two servants planning to sexually assault "Mo Lian" since nobody will care about a madwoman, and trashes Mo Ziyuan's reputation in front of the Lan juniors by accusing him from coming into "her" bedroom at night and not acting like a cousin.
* SingleTargetSexuality
SexlessMarriage: As a nervous Wei Wuxian inquires about the consequences of their wedding, Lan Wangji reassures him that he won't force intimacy on his beloved and will stay chaste.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome
SingleTargetSexuality: Lan Wangji entirely believed he was asexual before he met Wei Wuxian. And he doesn't care about Wei Wuxian being a handsome man or a delicate lady, he will hopelessly love him no matter what.
* WouldHitAGirl
SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: A man carrying a very much unwilling woman away to his home? The Lan junior Disciples decide it's going to be fine, because that's Hanguang-jun. Only for Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen's horrified reaction to make very clear that no, even when you're universally known as benevolent and righteous, abduction is ''still'' abduction and you really shouldn't do it.

to:

* AdaptationalNameChange
AdaptationalNameChange: Mo Lian instead of Mo Xuanyu.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys
AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Wei Wuxian complaining about the Yiling Patriarch being portrayed as ugly is dismissed by the picture-seller as "her" being the kind to romanticize horrible men. Wei Wuxian is tremendously insulted by the assumption.
* CrazyJealousGuy
CrazyJealousGuy: A merchand attempts to sell ribbons to Wei Wuxian, only for Lan Wangji to unleash such a potent DeathGlare that the poor man cannot run quick enough to escape.
* CripplingCastration
CripplingCastration: After first waking up in a female body, Wei Wuxian grabs his crotch in a panic and almost faints in horror as he confirms the lack of a penis, reflecting he would have accepted to have a manhood that wasn't technically ''his'' rather than being stuck without.
* DifferentForGirls
DifferentForGirls: An ongoing theme -- Lan Wangji is mortified when he looks at Wei Wuxian sitting legs apart and thinks he will have to explain a lady isn't allowed to do that, people are quicker to assume Wei Wuxian is helpless and needs protection, and Wei Wuxian is very aware that he's more at risk of being sexually assaulted or derided as unchaste in his new body.
* EveryoneHasStandards
EveryoneHasStandards: Lan Xichen is horrified at the prospect of his brother kidnapping a woman to dress her like his lost beloved and locking her in the Gentian House.
* GenderBender
GenderBender: The major divergence point is Wei Wuxian reincarnating in a female body. Even if he quickly rolls with it and adapts it in his favour, he nonetheless struggles with his new state.
* HistoryRepeats
HistoryRepeats: A Lan cultivator dragging an unwilling woman to the Cloud Recesses out of love? Lan Xichen and Lan Qiren certainly have seen the similarities, and are pretty upset over Lan Wangji apparently following in Qingheng-jun's footsteps, with the Sect Leader actually claiming this is "history repeating in the worst way".
* ManIFeelLikeAWomanManIFeelLikeAWoman: PlayedForDrama when Wei Wuxian realizes he was reincarnated in a female body, as he grabs his chest to confirm his suspicions and feels a couple of details he previously lacked. He also pats his crotch only to be forced to admit the absence of another detail, and almost bursts into tears.

So you know how it goes -- Wei Wuxian wakes up after being dead for thirteen years, stuck in a weak body belonging to the BlackSheep of the Mo family.

Thing is, in this universe, Mo Xuanyu was born female. It changes things.
