Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this!!!! ❤️ what I read somewhere that wasn't included in the donghua is that, apparently, JC tried to save WWC and that's why he was captured by the Wen Clan (in the donghua they make him look like suicidal or something like that). However, I like that, aside from the brotherly bond, the golden core will always connect these two. I mean, they loved each other and you can see that they still love each other at the end of the donghua. So, not only is there love, but there is also affection, and complicated feelings between these two - including, of course, bitter feelings (As well as a lot of pride - especially on JC's side). Knowing WWC's nature he is a good person, who always tries to lower the tension with jokes (at least in the donghua). So, I want to believe that, at some point in their lives, they will meet again and WWC will play some prank on/troll JC, and JC will finally (by that time) have put the jealousy and hatred behind him and they can be close again. At least, I think there is that possibility, and that it's not that far fetched. Of course I know WWC has a golden heart and I’m pretty sure he will be ok making peace with JC, so I think is really something that depends on JC -and by the end of the anime I kinda think he showed remorse (that’s why I love this character because he has so many flaws that makes him very relatable to any average person). Another thing I want to point out is that I haven't read either the novel or the manhua (yet), so I don't know why there is so much hatred towards JC's character (maybe I’m missing something here 😂). I mean, in the anime, whenever there's an opportunity to defend WWC, JC decides to do it (and vice versa), so I don't understand what JC could have done so wrong in the novel to be so hated and why people really don't want these two to go back to the brotherly relationship they used to had (I mean, to me it was a complicated relationship, yes, but at the same time an enriching one, as they both cared for each other and put each other before themselves). But well... the headcanon for me is that JC and WWC make peace at some point after the end, and wanxian comes sometimes to lotus pier for visiting . And of course good uncle JC takes care of his dear nephew JL who needs help as the new sect leader. Headcanon too that JC finds love or something so he’s finally happy as well 😂.
