Chapter Text
1. It's the middle of the night but Wei Wuxian isn't right outside your door where he was supposed to be. He's likely scared of you and the dogs you threatened him with. You can't find him anywhere. What do you do?
a. Go back to sleep (but what if he's hurt what if father finds out what if he's gone what if)
b. Spend the rest of the night worrying about where he is
c. He can't have gone anywhere far, right?
d. Look for him, get lost along the way, cry because you don't know what to do, and suddenly a light is drawing nearer and nearer to you and it's A-jie with Wei Wuxian in her back, and everything's fine now because they've found you and you've found them.
2. How many times will your father choose him over you?
a. Once, you think as you watch the new boy whimper at the sight of Jasmine, Princess, and Love, and your father telling you to get rid of them
b. Twice, you think as you stand to the side forgotten while your father smiles proudly at him
c. A hundred times, you think as you witness another one of your parents' countless arguments regarding Wei Wuxian
d. Every single time, again and again and again and again and
3. You are the second child of Yu Ziyuan, the fearsome Violet Spider, wife of Jiang Fengmian, mistress of Lotus Pier. You are first and foremost your mother's son—it's why your father barely looked at you, why he preferred Wei Ying. What is the most prominent trait you have inherited from her?
a. A short temper (one that has been present since childhood, making you an unpopular choice when it comes to friendships, making your father neglect you)
b. Assertiveness (to cover your insecurities, to make you feel safe)
c. Inability to express or communicate properly (and is it not because of your hubris?)
d. Love and protectiveness for familial relations (you would do everything for your family, just like your mother when she stayed behind at Lotus Pier to protect her children and sect)
4. White and red robes flutter into your sight. You notice that the Wen cultivators are heading to the market, where Wei Wuxian is. Do you save him?
a. No.
b. Yes.
c. Of course. He's your brother, and you know he'll take care of Jiang Yanli. You know he'll avenge your family.
d. It was never really much of a choice in the first place.
5. Wei Wuxian has gone and harboured the Wen dogs to the Burial Mounds. He is building an army, they say. He has strayed from the righteous path, they say. The Yunmeng Jiang sect—you—have been letting him get away with it for far too long now, they say.
You're on your way to Yiling to finally deal with your brother. What will you say to him?
a. Why are you protecting them? (Why are you choosing them over me?)
b. Will you really risk the cultivation world turning their back on you just for these Wen remnants? (Will you turn your back on me? On us?)
c. Why can't you understand the situation? Can’t you see what I’m trying to do? (Have you forgotten what you said?)
d. I won't be able to protect you anymore. (Come back to me.)
6. Name a lie you have let yourself believe.
a.That you two would be inseparable. You would be the Twin Prides of Yunmeng. You would be a good sect leader, and he would be there by your side.
b. Wei Wuxian can control it. He’s a genius, he’s probably the most promising cultivator in your generation. He can control it.
c. Everything will be fine.
d. You will be enough.
7. Do you push people away or do they leave you?
a. The first choice
b. The latter
c. Neither
d. Both; you distance yourself so they can't hurt you first, and as a result they leave you with—with what? What are you left with?
8. What do you think of Jin Zixuan?
a. A vain and deplorable peacock with the added misfortune of being a Jin
b. A sect heir with good intentions but still. He's haughty and arrogant and an annoying brat and in your personal opinion, the world will be better of without him
c. Your sister loves him and he loves her too, and
d. That is enough.
9. The Conference at Nightless City has become a battle, as you have half-expected. What you didn't predict, however, was for Jiang Yanli to be there. As you go to her, what color catches your eye?
a. White; Lan Wangji's immaculate robes a stark contrast to the bloodbath as he kills corpses that dare harm your sister
b. Black; Wei Wuxian's signature robes somehow still a comforting sight for you
c. Purple; even when she became Jin Zixuan's wife she never abandoned the purple garb of the Jiangs, purple that is now slowly stained by
d. Red; her blood, why is there so much blood—
10. What is home to you, now? What do you have left?
a. The table at the center of your office, overflowing with papers, Sandu discarded on the side
b. The silence of a tranquil night on Lotus Pier, hanging heavily around you
c. These, the things endowed to you: the mantle of a sect leader, from your father; a silver ring, from your mother; a flute as black as ink, from your brother; and
d. Jin Ling, with his father’s arrogance and his mother’s intuitiveness. Jin Ling, whom you would give up the world for.
11. Jin Ling is growing up, and to your horror, he takes after your brisk and cutting attitude. He also possesses reckless and spoiled tendencies unbefitting of a proper sect heir.

To better help your nephew, you have started assessing fellow cultivators and their association to the Jin sect. Name someone you believe can be dangerous to Jin Ling.
