I liked reading this worldbuilding bit how it was quite common for people to expect WWX to come back for a good while, giving more context for Jiang Cheng's readiness to believe a returned Wei Wuxian behind every tree every gothy cultivator.
True, that gives it a lot more context! Makes him seem not quite so... excessively passionate.
Thank you for highlighting the plucked phoenix, somehow I missed that but it will now live rent-free in my head.
I'm not quite sure how WWX can know how long he was dead... it's not like there's a convenient calendar hanging somewhere or some other useful way of telling that time has passed. This also makes me realize that neither here nor in CQL does he actually actively try to find out just how much time has passed. He'd get an idea by the time he realizes Jin Ling is Jin Ling, but until then, it could have been a year, or 10, or 100...
