extrapenguinI have sent out inquiries about house showings! Only two places at first, but: progress.
To tide me over the anxious wait, I invite you to tell me your grand unified theories* of Shen Xi, Zhao Yunlan's mother, based on the few scenes of drama evidence we get of her! She wants her husband to pay more attention to her son, but how much arguing with one's husband over one's son is considered normative in the modern age? I, personally, find her strong-willed, but do you think she'd be strong-willed about things other than the proper treatment of her son? Do you think she shares her husband's prejudice against Dixingians? Did she know about Zhang Shi? /has perhaps unwisely chosen to tackle something related to her in fic
* Small sub-theories also welcome.

Especially since she was killed/vanished by one in canon. So she might not know much, but she might also have a huge argument with Zhao Xinci about how he misrepresented all of Dixing to her.
True! I expect she will be supportive after her initial WTF at having been teleported 14-ish years into the future and her boy being all grown up.
She and Shen Wei can bond over having irreversibly time traveled into the future!no subject

So just knowing about SID doesn't necessarily equate to knowing about Dixing. BUT. When it comes to Shen Xi, we just don't know! There are a wide range of plausible possibilities and whatever works best for the story can probably fit somehow.
Personally, I like the idea of Zhao Xinci getting dragged in every conceivable way from every conceivable angle, so I'm here for Shen Xi ripping into him. Very id satisfying.
