#who is this au is responsible for stirring up the banyue mess as a trap for pei xiu

[fortune-maiden]

Thinking about An Le again and all the potential everything with him...

Lang Qianqiu's best friend who befriended him specifically as part of a rebellion plot

Mentored by Qi Rong, and was probably pretty close to him (QR seems to have been around since before XL became LQQ's mentor so it sounds like QR practically raised him since he was a kid)

HIS DEATH WAS ACTUALLY REALLY BRUTAL (deserved but yikes!)

Still really want to know what his dynamic with QR was like. Did QR feel anything about his death...

Was he seen as a champion of the Xianle people? We know how pure and heroic LQQ is, so I feel like An Le would have had to outwardly be like that too for them to be close friends

Was LQQ there for his death or did he learn of it later... (probably the latter because he had no idea An Le hated him and I doubt that's something An Le would conceal on his death bed. He's dying, may as well stick the knife into his bestie as deep as it will go!)

Anyway it is just thinking about An Le hours and I really hope the donghua expands on him a little the way it did for Pei Xiu & Banyue's backstory before
