You know how LWJ was convinced musical cultivation could help WWX with the resentful energy during the sunshot campaign?
Wen Ruohan has the same idea much earlier on. Controlling the Yin Iron takes a toll on him- but perhaps Lan techniques could help stabilize him? And what luck; Wen Xu has just gone and fetched the perfect Lan for the job.
Instead of joining the indoctrination with the others, LWJ is now WRH's personal musician. It suits his ego to have such a highly ranked young master forced into his service. He has LWJ play for him, both privately and as entertainment during banquets and events, to show off the might of the Wen clan that they can treat the second jade of Lan in this way- and if he thinks of other ways to entertain himself with his captive, well. What's stopping him?
+ LWJ getting dressed up pretty for his new job + maintaining that ice cold demeanor but struggling to cope with what's being asked of him and angsting about helping WRH with the yin iron + how do the other cultivation clans respond? what does this do to LWJ's reputation? + would love some endgame wangxian
