I mean i do understand her reasoning of the root of the problem not being solved. Both of them loved each other back then and still now but that doesn't mean everyone else will accept them, right now we only saw positive comments but how will they deal with resistance.
And here’s what bothers me, the root problem is she never was a priority in youyan’s eyes, she has already writing her wrongs
Recognising the relationship publicly (at least the courtship)
Not making CPs for the press (literally whipped up a storm to get out of that)
Taking advantage of their relationship to get better deals (already turned down offers to defend her to the public)
Youyan is literally throwing everything to shit to show xiu IS what’s important now but ends up in the dog pen bc “people don’t change”. I understand being angry, but this just feels vindictive. Angry is telling her how many times xiu waited for the candles to burn out, vindictive is orchestrating stuff so youyan experiences it herself
