There's quite a lot of parallel between the two, which makes Wei Wuxian telling Nie Huiasang that the most important Gusu law is to not 'befriend evil' rather interesting

if wei ying and nie huaisang sat down and talked about huaisang's schemes and his reasons, they would probably go back to being close friends.

I literally love Huaisang so much. At the time at Gusu when WWX mentioned the control of resentment, Huaisang was the only person who said it made sense. And when other things happened much later, he never participated and watched from the side lines. I feel like, Huaisang always knew things wouldn't end well and after he figured out the music killing his brother, he finally took his plan to action. I feel like as Huaisang began to realize things, he also figured out the reason behind JZX's death as well which is why he brought WWX back to life. WWX was innocent and Huaisang had always believed him. They were similar in principles and heart. Bringing back his best friend was not only because he knew WWX and LWJ would figure out JGY but also because he knew that along the way, everything that had happened in the past would be explained and things could begin to fix themselves. WWX finally able to be heard. LWJ found his life again. JC finally understood the secrets WWX had never let him know. JGY was exposed. And Huaisang himself got what he wanted in the end.

I wish so badly that they would rekindle their friendship. They are SO similar and both hold such strong moral compasses. Both were willing to do "bad" things for the sake of other people. Ugh. Love them.

NO DOUBT THEY'RE BESTFRIENDS THEY BOTH ROCC BUT I STILL HATE THE FACT THEY HAD TO SUFFER

Both were also completely justified in going completely apeshit too.

WWX the lead actor and Nie Huaisang the mastermind

Can I just say how much I love this?! It's amazing and I love these parallels, I never really noticed them before- not to this extent at least- and I love how it shows that they're both so similar in their values and beliefs but the execution of their plans is completely different (NHS is more hidden + covert VS. WWX being more open and transparent) and it leads to different outcomes. WWX dies for his method of execution of his various plans (saving Wen refugees, helping his brother and saving the Jiang Sect in the process) but NHS actually succeeds with a favourable outcome (JGY dies and his actions come to light, NMJ's body is recovered). I also noticed that in a lot of these parallels, WWX is alone or standing on his own, but NHS had other people around him, even if they aren't part of his plan, they're still there in the periphery, and him still being part of his sect means he still has the support of them however indirectly while WWX had nothing. And since NHS's plan only took place after WWX's death, and WWX was an integral part of NHS's plans, it seems to me that NHS saw what WWX was doing and saw how he failed in his plans and realised (and this realisation probably happened a while ago, while they were still at Gusu for the lectures- it might even be how they bonded as friends) that he and WWX were very similar in their beliefs, and that in order for NHS to succeed he needed to do things more covertly and be more behind the scenes unlike how WWX was doing things. And a part of me thinks that maybe that's why he brought WWX back, not just bc he needed him for his plans, but also bc they were friends once and WWX was unsuccessful but if he hadn't failed, NHS wouldn't have known what to not do to be successful, and maybe he felt that since they're so similar, he would like to have WWX back, maybe to give him another chance to uphold his (or their shared) beliefs and values, or maybe he felt like he owed it to WWX and so he brought him back to allow him to also have the "happy ending" that they both sought to have through their various plans. I just feel like these are some of the possible reasons NHS had for bringing WWX back and these parallels are what made this entire thing pop into my head, maybe I should fic this headcanon of mine lol

I don't know what to say. I'm addicted to this story, I love and adore the characters' complex personality, and I love both Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang. They're intelligent, clever, loving and loveable, and unbelievably strong. So this video... just hit that bleeding part of my soul which can't recover from their painful history. Thank you for the exposition of this parallel.

I really wanted to see an edit with both wei ying and huaisang, and this one is so wonderfully done. I love it!!

2:07 that is such a sad, relatable moment TwT. nie huaisang was tricked by jin guangyao and he thought he was helping his big bro but in fact he was playing the tune with evil elements added into it, which made his bro do bad stuff. and wei wuxian was disturbed by jin guangyao, who played evil music to make wen ning kill jin zixuan. they were both victims of jin guangyao's assholey evils, but in the end in CQL they both got their revenge and jin guangyao died.

Absolute chills. Watched Fatal Journey with my gang and they finally understood my NHS love. Dude took three days out of his trip to Gusu to catch a bird he thought was beautiful. JGY never had a chance. The major difference between the two is planning, so I get why he gets more flack for harms he caused. But still. FANTASTIC WORK.

Exceptional video showing what Wei Wuxian and Nie Huisasang had in common and how driven they both were in their own ways. An interesting parallel of how both of them used flutes instead of their swords when they needed to be powerful.

I never really realised how much they have suffered because of betrayal (mostly by their brothers)

After watching this i realized how similar the two of them really are. I would love to read a fanfiction where both of them create a plan and scheme together!! I've been looking for more Wei Wuxian & Nie Huaisang edits, can't find any as good as this one!

I love them both. I appreciate that he literally brought his friend back from the dead because he knew WWX was the only one capable of getting justice. This was such a great show case of them. Nie Huaisang character always reminds me of that episode of The Mentalist where it's revealed that the guy was pretending to be mentally disabled was actually responsible for the murders to avenge his friends murder. If you haven't seen it just search The Mentalist Moby dick scene it will no doubt come up.

Never thought about the similarities between these two I love it

I don't really think that WWX see's NH as evil(what many seem to Believe bec of their last line towards each other) much more do i Believe that he can see himself in his dear friend like a Mirror,he does understand just all to well WWX would have done the same thing if he would have stood in NH place or something similar if not even something that would involved much much more blood but...anyways i love this two complex characters and wished we could have seen more interactions with them together

I love to see huaisang getting some appreciation. Next level grudge holding.

im here again also to say this still HITS and the quotes and i love them if they had teamed up at some point they'd be unstoppable also just realized how grateful i am for fatal journey bc it actually gives so much more to NHS character than cql did and could and stresses how he's not this defenseless puppy that gets revealed as a mastermind in the last 10mins but so damn smart and capable and not afraid to speak up for what he believes is right ! in conclusion: i love my man NHS and you for all your nhs content (and in general ofc)

it's as i always say 'nie huaisang has never done anything wrong in his life, ever' and u know what lets add wei wuxian to the list

I was totally blown away by TU ending. NEVER saw NHS as the one behind the scenes. The pen (brush) is mightier than the sword. Just got done watching Fatal Journey and I wish they made it longer, showing more of NHS journey of how he under took his plan of vengeance. That look when he bowed at the end...So BADASS! 💞

Ahhh this was very nicely put together, a lot of people never read the book or watched Fatal Journey and that means a lot of Nie Huaisang's actions fly under the radar but the dude is just stone cold when he has to be. I really love the idea of them eventually gravitating back towards being friends again post-canon, as they grow to trust each other again. Huaisang isolated himself quite a bit with his actions but I think if anybody would understand, it's Wei Wuxian. (And he seems to be done with the morally grey stuff now that he's got his revenge, so that can stop being a point of contention.) Anyways, there's a point early on, not long after the Cloud Recesses summer school arc (I think around the first time they bring in Xue Yang) where Nie Huaisang says something along the lines of "we're just the same, Wei-gongzi," and it really is interesting to see that even *he* sees parallels there, even so early on.

Omg a perfect video with the perfect combination of fatal journey and the Untamed .. ( but sad and bitter and painful memories comes back again 😭😭💔💔)

oh my god i love it, i was just thinking about nhs and his vengeance and this was all i ever wanted and more omg this is masterful and there are so many parallels i’ve never thought much about, my emotions are just: !!!!!!! right now

Everything is not what it seems, never judge the book by it's cover nor underestimate the "stupid, quiet, weird" one's they are full of surprises.

Wow. Absolutely stunning. The parallels between the two make this…completely beautiful. Also, I can never get enough of Huaisang’s glare. I love how Wei Wuxian’s and Huaisang’s ways of speaking back mirror each other and how, while WWX was at one point forcing himself to be strong and suffering inside, Huaisang exaggerated his worthlessness and was playing everyone. They both sought revenge. Do you take requests? If so, could you make Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen with ‘Deja Vu’ by DREAMCATCHER and Wen siblings with ‘Scream’ or ‘BOCA’, also by DREAMCATCHER? I just think that DC’s discography fits CQL/MDZS so much and there’s no edits. You’re absolutely stunning at editing, so… Sorry for rambling.

holy SHIT this is such an amazing video. You picked the parallel shots so perfectly - i can't handle it.

I'm SCREAMING!! this is so good!! i love them so much what's better than one grey morality lovable character? two grey morality lovable characters who are also bffs this is spectacular, the editing plus the song choice ✨✨✨✨✨

It's nice to know not EVERYONE hates Nie Huiasang. Can't wait until I finally get to see Fatal Journey!

jin guangyao pissed off the yiling laozu and the hamster he really had no chance

This is just…wow. I'm speechless. This is incredible,truly incredible.

Other Donghua/Anime Nerds: What weapon from your favorite donghua/anime are you scared of if it could be utilized in real life? Me: Flute... no joke a f"cking flute... the sheer amount of power it holds scares the sh!t out me. Along with the Guqin and the ring... (P.S. Thankyou for making this btw^^)

Damn, the comparison of them defending and in turn calling out the hipocricy of their clans gave me CHILLS

Fantastic video!! Love Huaisang and Wuxian!! The lyrics pair so well with the scenes you chose!

I would give my left kidney to see these two team up

Another thing they have in common is that they both don't use their swords. I know they have different reasons why but its still a another interesting parallel Your edit is amazing! Great job!

That's a powerful edit.. They both got thier justice even after much suffering

Oooh, this is fantastic!! Beautiful job finding all the parallels in these two characters!

Wow, I never even noticed some of this stuff when I watched the show/movies! This is so QUALITY

Well with both nhs and wwx comming after hum jin guanyao had no chance

This is freaking brilliant!!! I never paid attention to parallels between nhs & wwx but damn, this hit me hard and didn't I love it

This vid just made me realized that jgy choose to challenge the strongest enemy like if he chose to make them as allies maybe his revenge is long gone...

Best friends really are alike 💝🥰

OH WOWWWWWW I GOT CHILLS

Just wanted to say that i have been watching this edit twice everyday. It's just sooo good

This is an amazing video, the editing on it is perfect ❤ Funnily I clicked on the video thinking it was a different song but this one actually works way better. The song I thought it was going to be is "Hunt you Down" by The Hit House feat. Ruby Friedman. I mention this because if you have the time and are interested the song is very good and would probably work well for The Untamed universe.

this is SO incredibly done u picked all the parallels and scenes perfectly!!!! i love it

THIS EDIT GAVE ME CHILLS ?????? SO GOOD FR

everything was al right until JGY paralle with JC :! amazing video!! and yes the parallels are so on point really they were happy little boys in thier days of gusu, the cultivation world made them what they became.

This is an absolute masterpiece! Incredible and beautifully done!!! 💍❤👑

Oh wow, this is AWESOME. I love the edit you did here

This was SO well done and a perfect choice of song and clips!

Как заметили другие комментаторы, отличие Вэй Усяня от Не Хуайсана в том, что за последним следовали люди на протяжении всей его игры. Однако замечу тоже, что когда эта игра завершилась, доверие людей вернулось к Вэй Усяню, но никто не повернулся к Не Хуайсану

THE QUOTES LAURA I HAVE CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE

YOOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS A M A Z I N G

THIS IS SIMPLY INCREDIBLE 👏👏👏👏 The parallel is shown so amazingly... I'm in awe... Love it ❤

I can’t stop rewatching it

This is a gorgeous video - I love the song you picked and how you display these characters parallel moments is very compelling. It’s deepened my love for this story and these characters

I watch this video every day

Oh. This is so well done. I love the idea of the two of them in parallel, and the scenes you choose are perfect. Love this♡

AAA I adore this edit so much!! I've seen a few nhs and jgy parallel videos, and some wwx and xy parallel videos, but not nhs and wwx! they really both are similar in their courage and strength though

FROM INNOCENT TO DANGEROUS 🔥

OH MY JESUS!!! This is a piece of art, really is such an amazing video, I wish I could give you more than one like 😍

ONE *OF THE BEST EDITS IVE WATCHED!!!!!

OMG! This was so awesome! The parallels 🤯 And the song is PERFECT! I had to watch this several times, its just that good 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Everything about this is so good!!! I admire your editing so much, thank you!!!

Okay ur edits have gain h another follower 😍❤💖💗💓💞💕

HOLY SH*T THIS S SO GOOD I'M OBSESSED. NEW FAVORITE VIDEO

There is no need to blame nei huiasang he did what anyone would do I respect him for getting revenge for his brother everyone looked down on him but he never minded but his brother was a red line in his life he would allow anything except hurting him his brother was his life . Just like lan zhan and wie wuxain they cannot judge him

I have been looking for a video like this with the two fo them, and this was perfect!! I love the video, amazing work!!

This is so good!

watching this for the millionth time

ahh this was so interesting!! i never thought about their parallels before~

I love this so much! it's incredible

OMG TYSM FOR THIS IS AMAZING

This is top tier! 🔥

omg this was amazing!!

Gives me chillsss❤️❤️ Don't know how many times I pressed rewind button😎

This is AMAZING!!!! I love it! I got goosebumps :D :D :D

Wondered what to put on as I do my homework and damn, this is the best. The series. Or such edits.

j e s u s c h r i s t this video is downright chilling in how good it is!!!! nhs is one of my favourite characters, and you put the parallels so beautifully :V this is to be expected after seeing how amazing your others videos are (esp but not limited to the 3 about the women i perished), but this was... wao (and also u published it on my bday coincidentally lol)

Nice edit

Ok wow, loved this more than I thought I would 🔥

fantastic!!!!!! i love it

Damn this was so good

Honestly the lack of videos about their parallels is sad af but this! This is gold! Its everything I could have hoped for for my two favorite characters! This is amazong and well edited and well executed!

Absolutely love this

Wow, again as long as huinsang is the mastermind behind the mastermind i have nothing to complain

Siempre que veo estas cosas me pregunto hasta donde llegarían trabajando juntos como villanos... Serían imparables

Wow, looking back on it Jin Guangyao was an idiot, he made enemies of the two worst people possible! Clever, resourceful, conniving, utterly ruthless and breaking rules when ever it suits them.

This is really cleverly made.

Good enough to be evil but they r unique nd different from another.... Good evil

I'm on epi 24 right on. It seems the road ahead of me is quite interesting. I mean who could have though a dumb looking character hold much more importance. This is so good btw.

I love it!!!
