I spent some time on Friday at work thinking about this (between head-desking about ... well, people at work), because on one hand, I do agree with you re. there's no way to "fix" both of them if I apply any shred of RL reasoning.
But I really have a ... kink/button/power fantasy of love being able to redeem people. It's fairly specific - there are very few characters who manage to hit it. MY does in a big way. XY sorta, but not as directly. (Seishirou hit it big time, too)
Which, I mean, ok, is not a world shaking revelation, but I've never thought about why I like some villain redemption.
Gosh, no, what a surprise you like Jin Ling :) and gnnnn, I have to take such care that I don't write Lin Jing instead
I've not come across any junior fic that make me to "oooh, I love it" - which makes me sad. I should do a focused deep dive into the pairing tags.

This is the story I thought of - and now I realize it's an unfinished WIP, which is why it took forever to find: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20823821
I also came across 2 other stories that focus on JL - neither of them made me "save for later" list, tho:
