you can also want to spend your life with multiple people don’t you think? it’s not such a revolutionary idea maybe greedy but i think understandable
merlin’s beard that’s a lot i’m going to save this text as a reference i feel like jin ling grows a new uncle every day
you’re adopted? sorry i didn’t know
( this one genuinely thought lwj was straight. tragic )
again i’m really sorry if this isn’t my place and i don’t have much frame of reference since i’m also an orphan but i would hope i guess that his love for his son is greater than his obsession with tradition and measuring your goodness is reliant on more than just the number of people you care for
both of our worlds are so tragic, sizhui no one has any right to deny you anything that gives you happiness least of all someone who should love you unconditionally

I don't think that's how it works back home. So I suppose it is a very revolutionary idea. The honorable thing could be, perhaps, to remarry after being widowed? But that's as close as we get. To my knowledge.
Hah. I've had to learn genealogies among many other things. It kind of helps. And it's not that he grows one, it's that Okay one of the things is that his grandfather had a lot of illegitimate children. That is part of the problem with ... us, I think. Everyone remembers him, and those are not good memories. But it's not at all the same. And another thing is that one of his uncles, on the other side, died when he was about a month old. So he grew up without him. But - well. Things are different here? But he was raised by two of his uncles, his uncle and his little uncle (who is I think actually a little older than the other one, but still), and now there is a third. Only, two of him.
Oh.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Hanguang-jun's obsession is less with tradition and more with... Righteousness. But for most of his life that righteousness has been defined by a lot of rules. A wall of them. He was punished every time he deviated from them, and as second son to the sect leader, he had to uphold them extra hard.
It's not that his love is conditional. It's not.
But it takes time to ... find a way around something you've had to hold on to for all your life.
And it's not - he hasn't denied me anything. But who is going to care about his happiness if his son doesn't?
