i remember feeling so heartbroken when i read this part, thinking about how wei wuxian picked the courtesy name for jin ling... only for jin ling to not even know it, after everything that happened
but "jin rulan" is still listed as jin ling's courtesy name in every source i've seen, and MXTX even talked about how jin ling dislikes the name for being "sissy", so i guess he will still receive it when he reaches the appropriate age? thinking many thoughts about it
#i don't know much about courtesy names and i guess mxtx is not being strictly historically accurate either#but still imagining jiang cheng whose idea it was to let wwx pick the name#thinking about how his sister liked and approved it#gritting his teeth to bestow this name upon his nephew after the man who chose it killed both of his parents#or maybe he wasn't planning to go through with it#not until wwx returned with a tidal wave of new information#hhhhngh#jin ling#mdzs
