Hello, I'm here to explain one of my AU nominations!
"QZGS: Sun Xiang is Sun Zheping's Cousin" does not sound like an AU, I understand; they share a surname etc etc. However! They are not related in canon. As well, Sun Zheping has no idea who Sun Xiang is, to the point of their first meeting being a humorous moment in the story due to Sun Zheping being like "who the fuck are you" when Sun Xiang expects everyone in their gamer circle to know who he is. So this AU would posit that they're actually related, and thus do know each other.
