Hear me out....
“The one standing in infinite glory is you, the one fallen from grace is also you. What matters is ‘you’ and not the state of you.”
But it's Quan YiZhen talking to Yin Yu.....
(romantic or platonic)

ooh! quan yizhen, lwj, and jyl?
OHOHOHO these are getting tougher (cracks my knuckies) let's go
qyz: his secondary godhood would probably be as the god of street fighters. catch these hands no jutsu, no weapons needed, BRAWLIN. i bet u i BET u there are fight clubs in his honor and not only does he tolerate these but he actually joins in and it's wholesome nosebreaking fun for all involved but he actually knows to hold back his strength against humans. also kids really love his autism swag i speak from experience the children crave specific and detailed violence and he's the perfect guy to ask questions bc he's not like "auuhhh u shouldn't know this" he is fully like "these are the deadliest points of attack" walks them through it and they cackle with glee
lwj: speaking of autism swag. whenever he has a new composition he takes it up to the rabbits and plays it for them, gauges their reactions, then amends his pieces accordingly. nobody really knows how he can tell what the rabbits think or how it affects the process but there's no denying he's the most prolific musician in the whole realm so who's gonna stop him? like on the list of many many hanguang-jun achievements you'll see the typical stuff and then you're like..... HE COMPOSED MULTIPLE OPERAS??? and he's like "mn" "THEE HANGUANG-JUN?" "mn (with feeling)" and they're all the sappiest most heartfelt sweeping romances of all time like instant classics and at first you're like "he does NOT seem like the type??" but then remember like, the entire plot of cql, and then it's like "oh duh"
jyl: before jc was born, madame yu was gonna raise her as the heir of jiang sect, inheritance rules be fucked and all. because of that she actually had a decent grasp of how to run an estate / diplomacy / many responsibilities you'd expect from that role. nothing legendary, but respectable especially for her age at the time. i know canon says that she was mid in cultivation and all other respects but i really think she would've been excellent at calligraphy and poetry, madam yu just had unrealistic bullshit standards. other things she was good at but can't be put on the marriage profile i guess: making things out of reeds, making bracelets and tassels, birdcalls, singing, and front flips

I once saw an autistic person stating that Quan Yizhen being autistic isn't the reason Yin Yu has issues with him, and honestly I think that that's half-true, but I have a point to make.
Mostly when I talk about how Quan Yizhen is treated badly and looked down on, I'm talking about the other characters and the writing in the novel AND the fandom.
Because the narrative frames him to be a clueless dumbass who's also an asshole who doesn't care about people's feelings.
And the fandom (and some characters) think of him as an annoying and childish when he's really just a disabled adult.
"But you can't surely say that Quan Yizhen is autistic? It's not even canon!"
Welp, let's say that my observation about him being autistic is wrong and simply say he's an allistic (non-autistic) person.
Even so, the traits that he gets treated like shit for and made fun of are *autisitic traits*.
Which also means that if you view him as an idiot or an asshole for those traits, you also view all autisitic people that way which still makes you abliest.
And about Yin Yu specifically, I think a part of it stil comes from a tiny bit is abliesm for him, because he gets mad at Quan Yizhen for not understand him despite how incredibly indirect and secretive he is about his emotions when it comes to Quan Yizhen and how much Quan Yizhen actually tried to get him to tell him what he was doing wrong.
Yin Yu mostly hates him because of Jian Yu's influence and because he's better than him at the whole martial god thing, but he also just dislikes Quan Yizhen traits, he just happens to want to tolerate them due him being the world's biggest people pleaser and the fact that he actually used to like Quan Yizhen just fine before.

After so many days, Quan Yizhen seemed to have taken his Puqi Shrine as some sort of happy farm; he was always leaping up and down, sometimes climbing trees, sometimes stealing squash, sometimes snagging fish, sometimes catching frogs. In a moment of Xie Lian’s carelessness, Quan Yizhen snuck into the kitchen and swiped a yam. Feeling the spot empty on the counter, Xie Lian turned his head and saw Quan Yizhen, who had the yam dangling from his mouth, slipping out of the kitchen and hurrying away like a fish who had escaped the net.
