Removing misuse. It doesn't count because endangering a loved one is something reasonable to get angry over.


* BerserkButton: Endangering or hurting Ling'er is Yuxiu's.
** In episode 2, she throws a guy over a railing and down a story after he picks up Ling'er and throws her onto the ground. She then proceeds to take on all of the guards on the boat on her own.
** The fight in episode 3 against the protagonists' assailants quickly becomes a CurbStompBattle after they nearly hit Ling'er in the face with a [[StockWushuWeapons meteor hammer]].

!!Feng Ling Yu Xiu contains examples of:
* AnimationBump: Episode 4 relative to episode 3.
* ArtShift: The series as a whole has a different art style from the original, and episode 2 in particular has a significantly different style from the rest of the series.
* ArtifactOfPower: The agarwood swallow
* ArtisticLicenseMartialArts: Obviously, this being {{wuxia}}.
** In episode 3, Yuxiu makes use of SteppingStonesInTheSky, one of which Ling'er is holding onto.
** In episode 4, Yuxiu rotates her body into the air using the guy whose head she's pressing down as a fulcrum, does a WallRun up her assailant's torso, does a headstand atop his head, then proceeds to DoABarrelRoll when a knife is thrown at her and catch it in her mouth.
* AssholeVictim: Master Cui serves as this in the first episode. It's mentioned by a local that his boisterous behavior is less than becoming of the son of an official. This, along with the fact that he has no need of the money, seems to be the pretext used for stealing from him by Yuxiu, at least. And though he might not exactly fall under ArrogantKungFuGuy, that combination of words does seem fitting when he catches them in the act.
* BerserkButton: Endangering or hurting Ling'er is Yuxiu's.
** She throws a guy over a railing and down a story after he picks up Ling'er and throws her onto the ground.
** The fight against the protagonists' assailants quickly becomes a CurbStompBattle after they nearly hit Ling'er in the face with a [[StockWushuWeapons meteor hammer]].
* BlindIdiotTranslation: The FanSub name for the series, Spirit Wind Elegance, is arguably this, as it does not convey that the Chinese title is a [[EpunymousTitle play on the leads' names]].
* ButtMonkey: Master Cui serves as this. Though he wasn't portrayed as especially incompetent in combat in the first episode, in subsequent ones, he lacks both Ling'er's cunning and Yuxiu's strength.
* CompletelyDifferentTitle: The official English title as given by Bilibili, ''Sunflowers'', doesn't really have anything to do with the Chinese one, or the events of the series thus far, for that matter.
* ConspicuousCG: Given the contrast between it and the rest of the series, episode 2 qualifies as this.
* EpunymousTitle: The two leads' names in Pinyin are Fěng Líng'ér and Bái Yùxiù. The series's name in Pinyin is Fěng Líng Yù Xiù. It should be noted that [[UsefulNotes/ChineseLanguage the characters]] [[AlternateCharacterReading are not]] [[FunWithHomophones the same]].
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: It is never indicated in the series during which dynasty or reign era the series takes place in, but the setting is either ImperialChina or something very similar to it.
* GenreSavvy: Yuxiu seems to think she's in some kind of {{wuxia}} story. Which she is.
* TheGhost: Though he's been mentioned plenty, Chen Feiyan has yet to make an onscreen appearance.
* InfoDump:
** The old man and his classmate's student do a lot of this.
** The Azure Dragon Syndicate also do some of this, including some AsYouKnow, among themselves.
** In episode 3, some random extras discuss the Azure Dragon Syndicate's whereabouts among themselves.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: Feng Ling'er is mistaken for a boy in the first episode, much to her chagrin.
* LimitedWardrobe: The only characters shown in a change of clothes are the performers when they go to corral the protagonists into their trap. Everyone else keeps the same clothing. In particular:
** Feng Ling'er wears baggy dark blue/purple trousers, boots, a pinkish overcoat, and red bracers and a bandana.
** Bai Yuxiu wears a light blue overcoat over a purple ruqun.
** Master Cui wears a predominantly blue-and-yellow zhiju or quju.
* LovableRogue: Feng Ling'er.
* MysticalWhiteHair. Bai Yuxiu has it. Her strange power is of particular interest to the Azure Dragon Syndicate.
* Narm: The cartoonish sound effects, particularly in the third episode, can be this.
* NoNameGiven:
** Master Cui's given name has yet to be revealed in-universe. He's simply referred to as Cui Gongzi, 公子 (gōng zǐ) meaning son of a high-status or respected person.
** Feng Ling'er's surname has yet to be mentioned in-universe. She's simply called Ling'er by Bai Yuxiu and 小贼 (xiǎo zéi; "little thief") by everyone else.
** No one else's name is mentioned save for Chen Feiyan, who is [[TheGhost never seen]], and some of the performers sent after the protagonists.
* PrincelyYoungMan: Master Cui is a downplayed example of the SpoiledBrat type.
* PuppyLove: Fairy strongly implied between Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er in the original music video. Downplayed in the series proper, but still [[ShipTease teased]]. The ambiguity of their age makes it difficult to gauge to what extent this trope applies.
* RedOniBlueOni: Where Feng Ling'er can be prickly and abrasive, Bai Yuxiu is well-mannered and cheery. However, Bai Yuxiu has been shown to dilly-dally in dangerous situations and revel in combat whereas Ling'er is more careful.
* ShakingHerHairLoose: Happens to Bai Yuxiu when she undergoes a PowerUp.
* ToyShip: Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Though Yuxiu's age isn't made clear, that she speaks casually of a brothel on the ship from episode 2 as a [[ProperLady girl of high-class upbringing]] in a presumably Confucian society is strange in itself.
* WideEyedIdealist: Yuxiu seems taken with the idea of herself and her travel companions as heroes of lofty ideals. However, she doesn't really display any naïveté that might get her into trouble.
* {{Wuxia}}: Traveling martial artists makes for a pretty clear-cut example of this.
