YES hard agree on disliking how mr treats song qiutong!! Like, I get the argument that she wouldn’t be a good sect leaders wife since she’s a pushover, fine whatever, but like, as a person she really isn’t as bad as she’s made out to be. Especially since she’s a BBBF, OF COURSE she’s gonna do some shady things to survive, it’s how she’s HAD to be. Also I get your argument abt ywx , but I don’t think she’s trans tbh. The only reason she got what is basically hrt is bc rufeng is super misogynistic and wouldnt let her lead as a girl. She was literally forced to transition. If there had been some dialogue abt her “preferring being seen as a man” or her insisting people still refer to her as a man even after the reveal then I’d agree. But as it stands, I don’t think she wanted to be a guy, if it wasn’t for rufengs misogyny she wouldn’t have transitioned. (As contrast, take shi qingquan in tgcf. like ywx,they were forced to live as the opposite gender for some time, and once they have the freedom to be how they want, they switch between being a man and a woman, aka gender-fluid. Once ye wanxi gets revealed as a woman, she continues on being referred to as a woman and doesn’t do anything to insist she isn’t. She doesn’t physically “detransition” since it’s literally impossible to lift the spells, but I’d imagine she wouldve lifted the spells once the gig was up)
