What do you think Bian Yanmei and the others thoughts on their relationship?

Hmm...this one I find harder to answer, especially because I've only read the later parts of the book, once, years ago, and much of it as raw or barely edited mtl. I've been re-reading as the Seven Seas vols. come out but they don't get into the side characters as much. So take my reply with a grain of salt...

The Yan Wushi sect members, I think early on they absolutely believe Yan Wushi's "I'm just fucking with him" act. When it becomes clear that maybe it's more than that, I think Yu Shengyan is extremely confused and probably a little bitter, like, what do you mean I'm supposed to take him seriously now??? Meanwhile I think Bian Yanmei just smiles and nods and rolls with it, cause that's basically always been his role. "Oh, we're doing what now sect leader? okay sure I'll hold down the fort here..."

For Shen Qiao's sect, especially his martial siblings, I mean, it's pretty clear in canon what Yu Ai thinks of it. For the others it's harder to say, they're in the early parts of the book so little and I honestly can't say I remember them that well, but it seems like they mostly just don't get it at all, but it's like, well if the evil murder sect leader makes shi(di/xiong) happy, then it must be okay...

My favorite side character's view on them is Bai Rong's, tho. Cause unlike everyone else who, in the beginning, clearly think there's just nothing there, Bai Rong gets it like immediately. Maybe because she's more familiar with Yan Wushi than at least some of the others? And because of her own experience as a seductress? Like this woman knows a love rival when she sees one and she recognizes it INSTANTLY and she hates him for it - which also implies that, whatever she thinks of each of them as individuals, she definitely thinks Yan Wushi has a chance to succeed, probably at least on par and probably better than her own chance of success because it appears that for some fucking reason, against all reason, Shen Qiao actually TRUSTS Yan Wushi??? and once it's clear that even after...everything...doesn't completely shatter that trust, she's just like... oh these fucking two again. She knows when she's beat, lmao.

thousand autumns donghua, episode 10~

(just realised that the old man is called '晏无师' like 'yan….without master'??? is this??? his actual NAME or?? bc i feel as tho this wouldn't be terribly auspicious?? and parents wouldn't be happy if the name were suggested to them, would they?? so could it be a second name? an alias?? another title??? i wonder if shen qiao has got a courtesy name?? maybe he just doesn't like it lol.
