See thats the thing. Yes it will make him absolutely miserable to end the bloodline. But thats the thing. He can't do otherwise. The more he fails to get a wife (and to examine why), the more he interiorizes that it must come from an inherent fault of his and the worse his attempts get. Thats also why I dont think he would "adopt" either, his problem is that he can't really move on. Jin ling is different, because he's his sisters son, not his. And hes channeled all his energy into him, which is crazy politically speaking since jin ling can never be a jiang heir. I think part of him is terrified that he would do to his actual son what his father did to him (bc he will always love jin ling more on the basis of him being jiang yanlis son, the same way jiang fengmians affection for wei wuxian was a continuation of his love for cangse sanren). I think its really complex but honestly I'm compelled by the increased misery as stated above :)

i get you friend, but i really think you're giving him more credit than it's due 😭 my man has never done a bit of self-analysis in his life and i don't think failing to get a wife will get him to start

#like. he's waaaay too terrified of failing his dad's legacy to let his bloodline die #and the whole thing abt jc is how he ends up falling back into the toxic cycle :( the tragedy of his arc to me #is exactly watching how he turns into his mother despite how much he didnt want to!#he's that guy we all know irl who refuses to analyze himself and will get married and have kids and likely make all the same mistakes #because that's the cycle of generation trauma... and jc is one of the characters in which that is the most clear #but again! i dont think he'd be unhappy with that ending #he doesnt even WANT a wife. a political unpassionate marriage works perfectly well #and if the wife plays her cards right and doesnt rly care for his affection either theyre golden #and his children dont have to be miserable either. yes he fell back into the cycle and we see how much he pushed JL #but he's def not AS bad as his mom. and after the canon events he's likely to chill out #but any jc ending that relies on him doing any sort of self-analysis of his own flaws and mistakes isn't gonna happen i'm sorry dkjvhdh #modao #lace speaks
