yu que

i keep having this idea that he had a little childhood friend since young when his biological father was still alive and was still this great army general that every respected, and young yu que was already set to be in an arrange marriage once they turn old enough, but of course that didn't happen with all the things that happened but! feelings were genuine! they did like each other a lot and now i want this girl to be the one (1) person he couldn't really stay away from even though he wanted to in the name of protecting her for whatever reason, and he's just internally suffering all the time :/

also a childhood best friend? best buddy ? maybe the trusted partner and comrade of his in the army troop and just someone he knows he could always trust on, until yu que is being hunted for treason for some reason that is sdkjf give me heartbreaking friendships and betrayals and patriotism !!

shen hanyan

also arranged marriage plot so give me the guy she was supposed to marry before she basically left home and ran away? maybe they did get along well and could have made a pretty cute little married couple but nah she left without a word so now, pls give her a guy who just wants to seek her out for whatever reason !!

give me sisters plot! so i want her to have a bestie who has gotten married to some douchebag and is trying to get away, or maybe trying to convince herself that things will get better and hanyan is trying to convince said bestie that they can run away together, that she has the skills to keep both of them safe :( give me bestiesss

jiang wuchen

someone he's helped/saved the life of one time in some sticky situation turns out to be someone who wants him dead for reasons such as in relation to his father or smth else completely: he stole and ate someone's pet chicken idk

chu qing

someone she is trying to gain the trust of to gain access to his resources, connections and whatnot so she's one step closer and higher in terms of social status and class, which in return, she will get caught and confrontation happens etc etc
