Third in my Pei Xiu is very neat and criminally under-explored series, now pairing him with his boss'/ancestor's other dubious bestie!
Please see my earlier posts for an introduction to Pei Xiu and the fandom
Ling Wen, meanwhile, is the third member of the Three Tumors. She is the Top Literature God (and also the Heavenly Discord Mod - this is only half a joke). She's very calm and helpful, keeping the heavens running smoothly, but also overworked, constantly badmouthed as inefficient and is worshiped as a male god by mortals because a woman can't be a scholar
I think she and Pei Xiu have quite a few similarities in terms of personality and history - both of them have been put down in the past by authority figures due to their poor backgrounds (LW as a woman and PX as the son of exiles). I see Pei Xiu as someone who is very capable and smart, but chooses to keep a lower profile and not stand out. Ling Wen could sympathize with that after her own experiences with her former boss. I just see them as having a relationship of mutual respect and Ling Wen being able to rely on Pei Xiu when she needs someone to help her with some of her endless tasks.
Also I just want her to try and poach Pei Xiu for her own palace because he's so polite and efficient and it's not fair that Pei Ming gets to have the one capable junior god in Heaven!
