I think it’s differently bad than it is with Wei Wuxian. We know that demonic cultivation gives you rage issues and fucks with your impulse control, which is a terrible match for our angry grape, but Jiang Cheng has a different set of breaks on him than Wei Wuxian. He’s pretty traditional and tends to follow the rules, and he cares deeply about his clan and family. He’s also not trying to hide the fact that he’s missing a golden core, so while you still get the issues with feeling like he needs it to protect himself and his family and to avoid being useless, he’s not going to be relying on it to cover for his inability to cultivate. So I think you’ve got a higher up front cost (that temper does not need worsening) but he’s still very susceptible to Yanli telling him he needs to tone it down, and he’d care a lot if he felt like his reputation was negatively impacting his clan. I also think Wei Wuxian would be a miserable nag about it, because while Jiang Cheng is willing to take Wei Wuxian’s word for it that he’s got it handled, Wei Wuxian trusts Lan Wangji a lot more than Jiang Cheng does. So while Lan Wangji cares a lot less about Jiang Cheng hurting himself, Wei Wuxian is going to take his warnings a lot more seriously. Whether this would be helpful or just give Jiang Cheng something else to be furious about is debatable, because he really does hate it when people suggest he can’t handle his shit. They have that in common! But Yanli can do or say whatever she wants and if she tells Jiang Cheng that they’re just worried about him because they love him but his goth drums are very impressive and she’s very proud I think he mostly stays on the rails for her.

Bold of the government to assume I wouldn't acquit everyone with nonviolent crimes.
