You know, people thought Jing was weak because he was too kind,too forgiving which makes him “boring”. What they DO NOT know is Jing could’ve been vengeful & killed Hou,heck even kill FFYY when she sent assassins after him, after Jing told her to cancel the engagement & he already has someone he likes. He had soo many chances but chose not to & THAT put both Hou & FFYY on edge cos they didn’t know what Jing might do or when he’ll strike back. As such a perspective, I liked it cos your enemy will have sleepless nights thinking when their head will be on a spike. If jing wanted power,he could’ve easily gotten it cos he has a LOT of support,but the consequences will you losing yourself,your soul & even the chance at love. Being too kind or forgiving isn’t a flaw cos it takes a LOT of emotional strength to let it go & move on. A lot of us would’ve done the opposite,we would’ve gone to the pits of hell to destroy Hou & YY but the cycle of vengeance wouldn’t end there,we would be consumed by it but Jing showed us that sometimes having a good heart isn’t a bad thing,people may take you for granted but those who CHERISH you & your kindness would go to war for you. I’m not saying this because I like Jing but I read it from a readers view, people think XL or CX is a complicated character but what they fail to realize is, Jing is the most complicated character in the entire story. I’m glad more people are catching on after reading the novel,especially the matured minded ones & those with a lot of insight. We all need someone who’ll be there for us,someone who’ll cherish,love,adore & make us their top priority. It’s rare to find such a person like Jing,so when you get him,never let him go or else you’d lose a precious pearl.
