I am kind of torn between "they never find out" and "they never marry" being the better "Jin Guangyao ultimate good life" option because the thing is. I do think he really, really, very very much wants to get married and have a respectable and respected heterosexual, 2.5 kids a dog and a white picket fence. And I also do think that he and Qin Su were stupidly in love. I just can't see him taking the risk of forcing his dad's hand on something this big otherwise. He has to want it badly enough to not only have premarital sex but be willing to expose that to his father and his father's best friend. As much as I also think he and Lan Xichen should be able to be happy together, I don't see Jin Guangyao being happy in a version of the story where he can't get married, and I don't think another person like Qin Su, who truly does not think less of him because of his background and is willing to fight for him, is going to be easy to find. Idk. That's part of what is so tragic. He gets everything he wanted and it's awful, and there isn't a way it could have been better, because he never had any control over why it was this way, and it all happened before he even showed up. Idk.
