In fairness to Zhao Yunlan, they're nice shoulder muscles. :D
I'm pretty focused on getting a clear handle of what's going on in Shen Wei's funny lil brain this time around! Glad the post was a fun read. As for stalling out...I'll have to drag myself through those episodes in the late 20s/early 30s where Shen Wei is chained to the Sky Pillar at some point in the future, sigh.
I like to think so, given that Shen Wei went straight from idealistic bby!Shen Wei to enforcer in Haixing as per show canon. Yeah, that's true. Bb!SW is already pretty harsh on people he sees as wrongdoers, but I think he never meant for the treaty to seal all Dixingren underground and he's not really enthusiastic about enforcing that when he himself doesn't have to obey it. I'm not sure that would usually apply to Wang Yike, who did actually murder three Haixingren (far from innocent people, though). But you bring up an interesting point - yeah, he really does seem to be working independent of the SID, probably having had irreconcilable differences with Zhao Xinci, which suggests he'd rather enforce his own form of justice than have to obey the official rules.
