![A screenshot of an AO3 page for the fanfic "For Want of [ERROR! Not Found]" by goddessofcheese. The summary reads "A faithful reader enters the stage -- nearly a decade before Luo Binghe is even born. Worse, the System won't give him any clues beyond joining the Cang Qiong Mountain Sect. So Shen Yuan and Shang Qinghua do just that and patiently waits for the plot to start. Four years later, Yue Qi and Shen Jiu find each other again.

Me, to my writer friends: readers don't really care about accuracy so you can fudge some details. Also me: if I don't get the coinage and prices of common goods in 1550 Bavaria for this story exactly right I will stop writing and retire from public life to live as a hermit on top of a redwood tree
