I agree with you on the problem of censorship - it is definitely not something to be happy about. Still, to me, disapproving of censorship doesn't mean that I have to disapprove of works that were created under conditions of censorship.
I didn't realize there had been a redemption planned for Ye Zun originally - how interesting. And how strange that redeeming antagonists is also something the censors object to... especially since plenty of the minor antagonists in Guardian are redeemed (or explained) in some form, or shown in a sympathetic light from the start. Inconsistent, I would say.
Interestingly enough, I am usually drawn to grey characters - occasionally very dark grey. I don't know why I like these characters' intrinsic goodness so much, but I really, really do.
