The beautiful thing about The Disabled Tyrant's Beloved Pet Fish is that no matter how much I try to joke, it's impossible to beat the absolutely canon thing that happen in it.
One of my favorite things about mxtx couples being put in a modern/no magic AU setting is how absolutely unhinged their actions would be considered
Hualian consists of some guy that was famous as a child/young adult before falling off hard and some guy that idolized him as a 10 year old only to start stalking and pining for him from afar for years afterwards. The stalker manages to score a friendship with this guy, constantly hangs around him and helps him, and once his red flags are discovered the guy is so chill about it. Even into it
Wangxian starts off more normal. Two guys that are sort of frenemies in high school with one being the suppressed good boy type and the other being your typical troublemaker. The troublemaker goes from being a bad influence to a straight up war criminal even if he’s lowkey in the right for it. Whenever he gets out of jail he goes right back to doing war crimes and instead of stopping him, the good boy protects and even joins him in his war crimes
Bingqiu is this teenager with a massive crush on his fresh out of college, no idea what he’s doing, teacher who was never really supposed to be a teacher, he just ended up here. Everything is chill until the week of final exams he gets expelled from school or something because of this teacher and goes through the worst trauma of his life trying to pull his life back together and survive. Years later he’s the equivalent of a gang leader and meets his teacher, who’s now terrified of him. He starts stalking him and trying to get with him because man he really just wants to be called a good boy

That's so beautifully said... Are you a writer of some sort? Because if not, I assure you, you definitely could be. Like your words are so persuasive but don't feel invasive, so with such style of writing you could influence people. And knowing you, you would influence them in a way that they would want to be kinder, gentler, and more understanding...
Yan Wushi as well be like:

What if I find meaning in the arms of the child I saved?
"I hate myself for being useless. I hate myself for not being able to get anybody to stay. Never... has anyone been willing to choose me."
