Personally, I do appreciate how distinct the two Xu sisters are despite being portrayed by the same actress and appearing in different parts of the game. They are essentially foils to one another in regards to their roles in the overall story.

Xu Hui	Xu Minhui
Is introduced early on in the first game.	Seen in the middle of the second game.
Becomes one of Wu Yuanzhao's closest friends in the rear palace.	Serves as an antagonist or ally to Wu Yuanzhao depending on the route taken.
Is often seen wearing calm blue tones to indicate her kind and submissive nature.	Is decked in bold red colors to symbolize her more volatile personality.
Teaches Wu Yuanzhao the board game that helps sharpen her political wit.	Helps fracture Wu Yuanzhao's reputation by committing suicide to frame her.
Remains neutral to court politics while maintaining her friendships with others.	Is forced into court politics which causes her relationships to suffer.
Kind-natured, moral, and unwilling to harm others even if it might benefit her.	Kind-natured, but is willing to bend morals if it helps her or her family.
Willingly goes with the flow if it helps her loved ones thrive.	Secretly longs to go against tradition in favor of following her own heart.
Excels in more intellectual pursuits like poetry and board games.	Proficient in riding horses, hunting animals, and other outdoor activities.
Consents to a relationship with Li Shimin and becomes his favorite.	Tries to seduce Li Zhi on the main route but fails to win his heart.
Is eulogized as a celebrated figure after her untimely passing.	Dies in obscurity on the main route and gets overshadowed by her own sister.
Prefers to stay out of court politics which ironically earns her Li Shimin's favor.	Stirs up division during her time in the court only to be denied favor.
Ultimately dies lamenting the departure of her lover.	Either dies happy on the main route or lives happily ever after on the sub route.

This is a continuation of my previous topic concerning the trilogy's theme songs.

He has a point. I would only be truly impressed with the DSA if they have a comprehensive plan to turn every red state blue.

Hasan, here's some advice: stop attacking Democrats and start giving them support if you want them to actually start liking you. Respect is a two-way street.

At least Wu Zetian did not live to see her own granddaughter making a mess of almost everything she had helped built.

Maybe it's because he can't help but antagonize people all the time including adjacent allies?

Sure, capitalism is far from perfect, but it can be harnessed to do actual good if regulated to a healthy degree.
