Ignore me if you've answered this already but...
Okay so how would the ROs reaction to MC being asked out in front of them..? (crushing stage vs. relationship stage)
Hello! I think the closest was the flirting one, but they’re still pretty different.
Crushing:
Welling: The first thing I think of are the *internally screaming* memes lol. Welling would stand stiffly, a polite smile frozen on their face as they bounced their gaze back and forth between MC and the other person. They wouldn’t feel as if they had any right to get involved no matter how much they wanted to.
Venali: They would immediately walk away. Venali doesn’t even want to hear the MC’s response. It would only end with them feeling either frustrated with themselves or ready to kill someone.
Trivelyn: At first, utterly flabbergasted that someone could so easily ask the MC out, and with an audience too! They would soon feel out of place and politely excuse themselves from the conversation.
Em: They’re locked in. The initial plans to flirt and tease the MC has now changed course to ‘ruining this person’s time.’ They’re asking questions: where do you plan to take the MC? Oh, that place? That’s certainly a choice. Well, how did you and MC meet? You have a class together? Ah, you must converse often then. No? I’m sorry to say that your interest comes across as quite shallow.
Anle: It would be very inappropriate for anyone to try and ask the MC out right in front of Achia’s leader and they would tell them so. The edge in their tone could very easily be mistaken for general annoyance with the lack manners.
Relationship:
Welling: Chuckles in a confused manner. There’s no way that anyone even remotely familiar with the MC wouldn’t know that they are in a relationship with Welling, not with the way Welling is nearly always touching them in some way. But still, Welling states it clearly in a ‘no harm done’ sort of way as they wrap an arm around the MC’s waist or shoulder.
Venali: Takes it as a threat. Immediately they’re stepping in between the person and MC, facing them with a dangerous glare. “I could crush every bone in your body to dust with a thought. Don’t you fucking approach them again.”
Trivelyn: “MC and I are in a relationship,” they say easily. They expect complete understanding, no additional comments, zero arguments. It is a simple fact that the person should accept and leave.
Em: A sharp smile would slowly form on their face. A long stretch of time would pass before they spoke: “Now that you have had a moment to consider what you have done, I will give you exactly one chance to right your mistake.”
Anle: Would lean towards the other person, their pale eyes unblinking. “Is this a challenge?”

Oh a quick Tgcf question: Anle is described as being not just from Xianle, but from the royal lineage (unless I got it wrong and he’s from a noble family disparate of the imperial family), so where did he come from? I don’t think either Qi Rong (son of the empress’ sister) or Xie Lian had siblings, so did the emperor have any siblings with any children? Unless it is that Qi Rong had children of his own and colluded with his descendant but I don’t think any of could ever be true…
Also when did Qi Rong die originally? How old was he? I thought he was supposed to only be a couple of years younger than Xie Lian but the flashback makes him look a lot smaller.

How would the ROs react to someone asking them if the MC was seeing anybody because they were interested? (Crushing stage, because I doubt some would react well if it were in the relationship stage lol)
You’re right lol. Some would react very, very poorly (they know who they are).
Welling: Would be truthful, but would also casually mention that they’re pursuing the MC and that they’re serious about them. And honestly, just the thought of having to compete with Welling would be enough to discourage most people.
Venali: There’d be a long pause as Venali turned to glare at the person. They’d ask slowly, abrasively: “… you’re asking me? Do I look like I would know? Are you—” Each follow up question would grow steadily more threatening.
Trivelyn: “No?” They’d be confused by the question. “No, I don’t believe so?” It doesn’t strike them until much later that they may have unintentionally encouraged the person to seek MC out.
Em: Smiling sympathetically, they would lie to the person’s face. And rather than share supportive words like ‘there’s someone out there for you,’ or something, Em would discourage them completely by claiming the MC’s type was the polar opposite of said person. Are they tall with dark eyes? Sorry, MC likes shorties with blindingly bright eyes, better luck next time.
Anle: If the MC hasn’t shown any interest in Anle, they would be civil and suggest the person ask the MC themselves. But if the MC has shown interest, Anle would stare the person down and advise them to look elsewhere.

On Life debts in MDZS
Recently finished watching Anle Zhuan, and holy crap, it really just sets even more into perspective how important life debts were in Chinese culture, especially in the days of dynasties. Long story short, the FL has a filial obligation to clear her family's name and exact vengeance on the ML's family - but you know what throws a wrench in her plans? The fact that the ML keeps saving her. Of course, this is a moral dilemma more easily offset by how she keeps saving him as well, but the fact that this is even worth mentioning and considered a serious quandary by the main character and her allies at one point really says something. And it got me thinking deeper about the implications of such life debts in MDZS.
In MDZS, life debts are immeasurably important. And how you honour that life debt is a measure of your character. When you owe someone a life debt, you owe them something immeasurably precious. In MDZS, MXTX knows that and shows it. She uses life debts to tie characters together and to drive the plot.
Life debts are the reason Wei Wuxian feels so duty-bound to the Jiang Sect and the Jiang family. They're the reason he's willing to lose an arm if it means no damage comes to his sect. They're the reason he tolerates being punished with methods beyond what's ever acceptable for a Head Disciple of a Sect. Because Jiang Fengmian saved him from living a life on the streets all those years ago, never mind that JFM himself owed Wei Wuxian's mother a life debt.
Life debts are the reason Wen Zhuliu is so blindly loyal to Wen Ruohan, committing countless atrocities in the name of the man who saved his life.
Life debts (and perhaps also genuine love), are why Jin Guangyao is so loyal to Lan Xichen. Because despite every other moral he eschews in his pursuit of power, he will always remember the sincere kindness Lan Xichen showed him when every other cultivator judged him for his heritage. And in the same way, we see Lan Xichen protecting him from Nie Mingjue under the excuse that Lan Xichen owes his life to Jin Guangyao.
Now let's talk about when life debts come into conflict with "filial duty".
It always irks me when people bring up family and filial duty to criticize WWX's "betrayal" of his sect, or try to undermine his judgement and actions when he protected the Wen Remnants. To me, it just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the novel and the context around the text. When people call Wei Wuxian a "troublemaker" for leaving the Jiang Sect, they're falling prey to the very prejudices and classism MXTX condemned in the novel. Yes, the Wens burned down Lotus Pier. Yes, the remaining Jiang Sect would've had an obligation to go to war and exterminate the Wens. But you know what brings this duty to avenge your sect to question - in almost every way you look at it? When someone who never even participated in the bloodshed saves your life.
So, if we want to talk about filial duty and reciprocation - Jiang Cheng - and by extension, his sect, owes Wen Qing and Wen Ning a massive life debt (and that's not even considering the GC transfer). Even if we ignore the cultural context regarding debts, that's huge. Let's take a step back and look at what Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng owe the Wens.
The initial life debt. Wen Ning saves Jiang Cheng directly from probable execution (like his parents), as well as hides Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng from the Wen soldiers in his own room. In doing this, Wen Ning has already crossed the line of treason towards his own sect. Keep in mind - Wen Ruohan is his uncle. And here he is, risking his life to save two boys - only one of whom he's actually had any meaningful interaction with.
The days after. Both Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng are heavily wounded, the former from his whipping via Zidian + wounds sustained during the battle, the latter from Wen Chao's torture. In the days following, Wen Qing nurses both Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian - enemies of her clan - back to health.
The debt Jiang Cheng owes further. People need a proper send-off in order to ensure their passage to Diyu, or the Underworld - and that could only be done for JFM and YZY because WN risked his life even further to bring back the personal items (and in some adaptations, their bodies) of Jiang Cheng's parents. In simple terms, Jiang Cheng wouldn't even have Zidian if not for Wen Ning.
The golden core transfer. There are two separate components to this. The first is limited - from Jiang Cheng's perspective.
Here's what JC knows: 1. He has no core, but there is a chance he can have his core restored by Baoshan Sanren. 2. The only way Baoshan Sanren would ever agree to this is if he impersonated Wei Wuxian, the son of her beloved disciple. 3. Jiang Cheng is a sect heir; he grew up wealthy, in relative comfort. He's at the top of the food chain. Wei Wuxian, on the other hand, is an orphan. He grew up being demeaned for his heritage. In truth, he inherited nothing from his parents. But what Jiang Cheng knows is that Wei Wuxian did have an inheritance: one precious thing, the location of an immortal. And then he gives that favour-his entire inheritance-to Jiang Cheng. Wei Wuxian, at this moment, essentially hands over everything he has left of his dead parents (who Madam Yu has slandered for his entire life) to Jiang Cheng.
From Wei Wuxian's perspective, the debt is this: his close friend and heir to the Jiang Clan has no core. He believes that Jiang Cheng needs his core - as he's been displaying suicidal tendencies after losing his. However, Wen Qing has a theoretical thesis on golden core transfers. This surgery has a 50% chance of success. To the knowledge of everyone involved, Jiang Cheng consented to getting his core back by whatever means necessary. He explicitly never questioned how Baoshan Sanren would restore his golden core. Anonymous organ donors are known to be a thing, even by modern medical standards. And WWX stays awake for two nights and a day without any anesthesia as Wen Qing cuts into his body and takes something he has spent over half of his lifetime cultivating, to give to Jiang Cheng.
"He had to be awake. He had to watch the golden core connected to his spiritual pathways be peeled from his body. He had to feel the gradual suppression, sedation, settlement of his originally surging spiritual powers, all until they became a pool of dead water, unable to rise ever again."
There's definitely also a case to make about Jiang Cheng essentially sacrificing himself to lead the guards away from Wei Wuxian, but you could also argue that Wei Wuxian saved his life just a chapter earlier by dragging him away from Lotus Pier when he returned. Also, it's got nothing to do with the Wen Sibs, towards whom they both owe debts.
By this time, Wen Qing and Wen Ning have already gone above and beyond to help the Jiangs and WWX. Saving the life of the sect heir is one thing, but to perform a never-before-done borderline heretical act of surgery to restore the heir's golden core? Another thing entirely.
The moral obligation of the Jiangs and Wei Wuxian to avenge their sect by killing the Wens does come into conflict with the debts they owe the Wen siblings. But compared to slaughtering Wen Chao, and the Wen soldiers during the Sun, how far does honouring filial duty by exacting vengeance on the Wen Sect go? Wen Qing herself declares she and her brother separate from Wen Ruohan. They're healers. They don't take lives.
From every depiction in Chinese media and culture, life debts are not to be taken lightly. A life debt is meant to be honoured and repaid. It's not something any half-decent person would mention maybe briefly in a Discussion Conference and then immediately shut up about and never mention again when someone louder (*cough*NMJ) speaks up. By turning his back on Wen Qing and Wen Ning, Jiang Cheng had demonstrated a significant moral failure as well as a misunderstanding of his own sect's motto. Along with his personal reasons, Wei Wuxian has every reason to protect the Wen Remnants.
So why, people ask, is Wei Wuxian so hellbent on protecting Wen Ning, Wen Qing, and the rest of the Wen Remnants? The easiest answer: he's a good person. He's compassionate, kind-hearted, empathetic to a fault; he isn't the type of person to stand by and watch if innocents and the helpless starve or suffer. He saw and recognized that what the Jins were doing to the prisoners of war was wrong, and chose to interfere. The other answer? He owes them a debt. He owes Wen Qing and Wen Ning a debt the rest of the Jiangs don't even know about. You want to discuss it in simple terms? Wen Ning is the only reason the Jiang Sect still stands. Wen Qing is the only reason the Jiang Sect has a cultivator for a leader by the end of MDZS. She committed the equivalence of cultivation heresy to save Jiang Cheng because Wei Wuxian begged her. WWX defending her family in return is…. Really the least he could do.
I've seen people calling the Wen Remnants war criminals, even equating them to the mafia, and I can't help but think - what book were those people even reading? if you're not willing to consider the culture and values or just use basic critical thinking when consuming a piece of media - don't try to slander the actions of its characters. Anyone who read the novel and understood the intended themes would not, in good faith, condemn Wei Wuxian's decision to protect the Wen Remnants.
