Once again thinking about my bullshit headcanon that the Nie don't do birth names and courtesy names, they just do birth names that look like courtesy names. Less paperwork and fancy bullshit with the bonus of making everyone else think they're being extra secretive.

Nie Huaisang: (same, except much more quietly smug about it)
