Migrating from Mo Dao Zu Shi Season 1 Episode 6 Returning Home. All Love Is Unrequited is when no one in the work gets their crush reciprocated. The Voiceless are for characters we never see speaking. Iron Lady is for non-royal women, the clans are basically noble families in MDZS. Parents As People doesn't apply to YZY and WWX as they don't see each other as family figures in any way unlike WWX and the other Jiangs. Fixed any Zero Context Example which includes poorly-written entries that just said "is this/ does this". Im Standing Right Here requires the character to directly badmouth/insult the other character. Here We Go Again is when the story ends right as the plot is about to be repeated.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: The rest of the Jiang family make their first onscreen appearances here, whereas they first appeared in later flashbacks in the novel.
* AdaptationExpansion: The scenes of Wei Wuxian returning to Yunmeng and the glimpse of the Jiang family's life is original to the adaptation.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: When Jiang Fengmian argues to Yu Ziyuan that their daughter shouldn't be in a loveless marriage for their families' sake, she questions if he means a marriage just like theirs. He's too stunned to give an immediate reply.
-->'''Jiang Fengmian:''' If they don't love each other and are forced to be together just to further their families' interests...\\
'''Yu Ziyuan:''' Just like us?
* AwfulWeddedLife: The episode shows that Jiang Cheng's parents have a very strained marriage.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: The episode shows that one would do well not to insult Wei Wuxian's martial siblings lest they want to get their faces bashed in, which Jin Zixuan experiences firsthand after insulting Jiang Yanli (directly) and Jiang Cheng (indirectly).
* BigBrotherInstinct: An inverted example with Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng being the younger and protective martial/blood brothers. When Jin Zixuan states that his fiancee isn't worth mentioning, the two immediately approach him and asks what he means by that. When he makes disparaging remarks about Jiang Yanli, Wei Wuxian doesn't hesitate to clobber him, and Jiang Cheng's reaction makes it clear that he would have done the same thing had the other not acted first.
* BothSidesHaveAPoint: When the Jiang parents argue about the cessation of Jiang Yanli's ArrangedMarriage and the cause behind it, Yu Ziyuan isn't entirely wrong when she argues that Wei Wuxian didn't make the wisest move by attacking the Jin Clan's heir. That being said, he only struck Jin Zixuan after the latter's disparaging remarks went too far, and Jiang Fengmian also raises a fair point when he argues that one shouldn't force a marriage when it's unwanted by either of the betrothed.
* BreatherEpisode: Downplayed. While there's still some drama as shown through the conflicts of the Jiang family, the episode does take a short break from all the cultivation business.
* CoolBigSis: Jiang Yanli is shown to a sweet and likeable older sister figure to Wei Wuxian and is an overall NiceGirl. Her kindness makes it easy to understand why the latter was more than willing to start a fight to defend her honor, and why she's the only one who can calm anyone in the family should tensions arise.
* EasilyForgiven: Jiang Yanli doesn't hold it against Wei Wuxian for ending her engagement to Jin Zixuan, stating that if they don't mutually agree to the marriage then it's better that they do not wed.
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Jiang Yanli sounds nervous when she tells her father where her mother is. A few seconds later said mother turns out to be DrillSergeantNasty with a horrible temper towards even her family.
* HopeSpot: When Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan discuss about what to do regarding their daughter's ArrangedMarriage, the conversation is slightly tense but mostly civil, which is rare for them. But then Jiang Fengmian argues that he wouldn't want their child to enter a loveless marriage, which Yu Ziyuan takes as a dig at their own marriage... and their talk immediately devolves into another argument.
* InformedDeformity: Jiang Yanli is widely gossiped about as being rather plain. Thanks to GenericCuteness, she turns out to be lovely and beautiful when she finally appears onscreen.
* ManHug: Wei Wuxian tackles the junior Jiang disciples to the ground upon meeting them again.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Wei Wuxian feels guilty when he sees that his actions caused Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan to have another big fight.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Jiang Cheng lets out a smile after Wei Wuxian greets by PlayingPossum, though he pretends to not be amused.
* OhCrap: The pheasant Wei Wuxian hunts looks shocked right before it gets a rock to the head.
* ParentalFavoritism: Yu Ziyuan accuses Jiang Fengmian of coddling Wei Wuxian who he treats like his own children, even stating that he wouldn't have been as nurturing towards Jiang Cheng.
* ParentsAsPeople: Both leaders of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan prove that, no matter how much they care for their children, they're not doing a perfect job at parenting.
** Jiang Fengmian is a mild-mannered man who cares for his children and is also a kind father figure to Wei Wuxian. However, he's accused of failing to be the same loving father to his own biological son, allegedly because he's in an unwanted ArrangedMarriage with a woman whom he tries to make his relationship with work... except that they keep on clashing because of their different opinions on Wei Wuxianm.
** Yu Ziyuan is a powerful woman who is strict and no-nonsense, but is shown to sincerely love her children. However she's too upset about the dissolved ArrangedMarriage to care that her daughter would had married someone who doesn't love her, and she'd rather blame any problems with her children on Wei Wuxian instead of taking responsibility.
* PlayingPossum: As part of his prank, Wei Wuxian floats on the water like a corpse when Jiang Cheng returns from Gusu.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: After hearing about the scuffle between Wei Wuxian and Jin Zixuan and the reason behind it, Jiang Fengmian has the ArrangedMarriage between Jiang Yanli and the latter dissolved since he doesn't want his daughter to marry someone who doesn't even like her. It not only shows him being a PapaWolf but also that he's willing to break up an unhappy political marriage arrangement even if it's meant to benefit his clan.
* SneezeCut: As Wei Wuxian tells Jiang Yanli that she deserves someone better than Jin Zixuan, the scene segues to the very latter sneezing in his room.
* TimeSkip: After Wei Wuxian and Jiang Yanli's conversation about marriage, the story moves forward by a year.
* TheUnfavorite: Both Jin Zixuan and Yu Ziyuan insinuate that Jiang Cheng is the least appreciated child in the family (Wei Wuxian included). It's implied their accusations aren't baseless -- after Wei Wuxian gets kicked out of the study program for getting into another brawl, Jiang Fengmian arrives at Gusu as soon as possible to pick him up and warmly greets him, but he doesn't so much as acknowledge Jiang Cheng.
* {{Unishment}}: As punishment for starting a fistfight, Wei Wuxian is forced to kneel in repentance. Since he's unsupervised while kneeling, he manages to keep himself entertained by digging out the ant hills in the ground.
