I think Xie Lian didn't turn into Jun Wu not only because he's truly kind, but more importantly because he doesn't really care about other people's opinions of him, unlike Jun Wu. While Jun Wu does everything perfectly to please everyone in exchange for everyone's love, appreciation, and worship, he invariably starts throwing his toys out of the pram whenever he doesn't receive the 100% approval and appreciation he expects. "I've done everything perfectly and try to be as perfect as possible for everyone to please you all, so why don't you love and worship me wholeheartedly? Without your approval, how would I know I'm good? I will punish anyone who doesn't love me as they should, by god I will punish you all!" is probably what goes on in Jun Wu's mind, and eventually he became a monster filled with resentment. While Xie Lian has reached this very zen state of mind where he's like "people don't like me? Welp, ig that's just how it is. Anyway -" And not hinging his self-worth on other people's approval is how he managed to maintain sanity and follow his inner moral laws.

Hello, welcome to 2050, our gallery - oh, no, that art is not done with AI, the industry collapsed decades ago, but human artists have rediscovered the aesthetic and are using it ironically. Yeah they call it Neo-Modern AI Chic, they've been trying to recover surviving slop and put it in the archives. Oh, we're very into 2020s aesthetics now. You remember, Hyperlink Unburbia? Rustic Pseudo-Cryptid? Self-Care Shadowscape? You don't...know any of those? That's weird. They really define your time, is all, uh, and we're into it
