![W: The characters of [MDZS] all turned out into different adults, related to how they were raised by their parents. When it comes to blood relationships and family, how did you make use of them in your story?
MXTX: I believe the environment of a person they grew up in is a very important factor to a person. The happiness and sorrow of parents will directly impact on the growth of their children. The children would even reflect some of their parents traits. When you start to notice similarities between parents and children is when you start to believe in their bond as a family.
W: Some of the characters within the novel had quite a hard childhood. Jin Guangyao, Xue Yang and even Wei Wuxian. Some turned evil, while some stayed kind until the end. You could see traces of both of them within the work
MXTX: In fact, regarding their childhood. It is actually the last thing I consider. I always start to create a person by imagining their most glorious moment in their life. Then I start to add all sorts of life developments and use their childhood to wrap it up. Then I will create their parents to fill up the final gaps. Their personalities are created based upon the main character. For example, I first start with imagining what kind of person Wei Wuxian is, then I would think of what kind of parents would raise a child like Wei Wuxian. I use the personality of the main character to create the personality of their parents. Speaking of reality perspective, parents affect children, but from fictional perspective, it’s the children that affects the parents](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8ddea20ec234b7a1f720b1041b2b1de3/44d7fc857fbc8e63-27/s500x750/998b455d564fd93f98f6b13865f28ccb930d6383.png)
All MXTX novels are just about one outwardly put-together, inwardly screaming mess of a man and his emotional support war criminal.
"To his eternal shock, Wei Wuxian watched Lan Wangji start to cry. He had seen him upset before, angry, even grief-stricken in the Xuanwu cave and on the clifftop at Nightless City, but these tears were not like that. They were slow and full, rolling like pearls down his cheeks."

Rereading MDZS vol 3 (oof ouch my heart) -- trying to pin down my interpretation of Madame Yu is still so interesting. I fully think that she recognized Wei Wuxian's potential and saw that he was currently exhibiting leadership maturity while her son was very clearly still juvenile (love that for JC tbh). In the scene where the kid is taken by the Wens for the kite, WWX jumps into management mode and JC is freaking out with the other disciples. Madame Yu overhears that. I don't think Wei Wuxian would be lead disciple only because of age (though it may be just that) and he clearly had the respect of the younger disciples (oof ouch my heart again). She could have held him back to defend Lotus Pier, but I think she saw how critical he was to Jiang Cheng's (and maybe also Yanli's) survival. And then she drilled in that he owed them, that anything less that absolute self-sacrificing dedication is because he is spiteful, a leech, selfish. JFM's backbone is Madame Yu (it seems) and I think WWX is JC's and she recognizes that, despite all of JCs bluster. She bound WWX to JC with Zidian intentionally, then affirmed his emotional bind to him with her words.
There's also something to servitude (class) and servitude (wife) here but that may be me over reading at that point 🤭.
