I was choosing between the gong and the shou but since I wanted Lan Wangji for myself, I definitely choose him!
honestly very hard to choose between Wei Ying and Lan Zhan! Love Wei Ying's shamelessness and how Lan Zhan is secretly equally shameless
That's obviously Lan XiChen. The most innocent person in the novel. The caring brother, a fair sect leader, the kindest and the most beautiful man, and be honest, Lan Wangji is stern, and Wei WuXian always tease you. Getting along with Lan XiChen is the best way to spend your life.
I wouldn't call him innocent at all... When the Jin sect enslaved Wen refugees he just rolled with it, basically going against his clan's motto. When everybody and their mother started shunning WWX he just stood by.
And Xue Yang's case, that caused Nie MingJue, Xiao XingChen, A-Qing and Song Lan's death. But it's so out of his character. I think sometimes the author just forgets about him, and then brings him in the novel. You know what I mean? Lan XiChen isn't stupid at all. I think he was smart enough to be a prodigy. But he was deceived from Jin GuangYao and Nie HuaiSang both. He was being used, and he didn't notice.
I basically LOVE the whole Yi City arc as it is. It's one of the BEST! Plus I love when Wei Wuxian shows Lan Zhan around Yunmeng. I like the drunk Lan Zhan scenes, and the two kissing scenes too. Ah! There are too many! Sorry! XD
So he's either not too bright or not such a good person. But nothing in the novel was mishandled as much as Xiao Xing Chen's eyes - you know he had TWO of them.
