Silently Into the Night is a MDZS-based, modern day-AU focused around Stanford University. Set in Palo Alto, Ca and following real time, the characters of the MDZS-universe have been reincarnated and are now attending university. Through fate or just sheer dumb luck, they've all ended up in the same area to meet each other again.
About the Reincarnation Process
Thanks to Etienne for helping me with world-building!
Reincarnation happens frequently, but only powerful lives are typically easily remembered, hence why any cultivators that remember their past lives remember the one from hundreds or possibly thousands of years ago over their very last life. The memories are basically like a tv show or movie, the person can't interact with them, though some may try or be convinced they can. It's not known what the purpose of regaining memories is, but is a question to many to get them.
Although the person only gets their memories, occasionally, usually due to trauma in their current life, the old life of the cultivator can "take over." Recently, this has happened on-record once (Lan Sizhui/A-Yuan), and unknowingly happened once (Wei Wuxian). [Example in this thread]
The Lan Clan slowly turned into the Lan family, and to everyone's knowledge are the only family that still has a hint of cultivation abilities, though it now takes shape more in the form of meditation, pressure points, acupressure, and other traditional medicinal methods. They try to keep track of important people who have been reincarnated, especially ones that have their memories.
