Nah, she is Satsuki Kiryūin and have some momma issues
, not as bad as original though (i hope) and i doubt she fully understood herself what she is trying to create.

Unless I've missed something we haven't even got a plan for what we're doing in the sect. Like, Oppression Mom set some goals, but I can't remember a single point in time where we got the group together and set out some expectations of where we need to be and if/how we can help each other get there.
It's a bit worrying to be honest, since I'd expect better management skills from Cai at least.
Where are you getting "max order" from? That's her mom's things, which she explicitly tempers with a desire for a life of fulfilment for her citizens. She's not fucking Jyggalag, hell even Oppression Mom isn't Jyggalag.

CRX isn't MAX ORDER though—that's Cai Shenhua's thing. Cai Renxiang is Justice.

Im saying I dont think I'm confident she's going to stick with that.
And I'm saying I think her Justice will be something she won't reign in enough.

Why?
Like, I can understand being worried because this is a story and examining Cai's motivations in depth, watching her shift, adjust and even need to be reigned in by us the kind of drama that seems almost required for this kind of story--though the existence of Oppression Mom makes some of that redundant as she already embodies the idea to a large degree.
But I'm not sure why else you might be particularly worried about CRX in particular.

Dude, it's been dropped. I can bet that there's plenty of people who still have doubts about Cai, but are willing to keep silent unless something comes up. I know that I'm one of them. No need to go kicking up a storm just yet, it's not like we're in some kinda Cai-xit vote.
Anyway, here's an alternative skill plan that aims to give is the possibility of as many level ups this turn as possible - as well as giving us Speech for that cool social bard style.
Fortitude is put down to 1 because we don't have any arts on it this turn and we only need 1 point to level it (also it's less in theme for this turn anyway). Speech at 3 to make getting D safer, and because we're unlikely to get a speech art any time soon. War at 3 because that gives us good odds of F War even without EANP. Resilience at 3 because if we train SES we want to take advantage of it (and it sets us up to level it next month potentially).
Finally, with the last points we could just bump Composure up to 3 on the off chance (1 in 27!) that it could level up and we could then ignore it That being said, 2 dice in fade would allow us to level it next turn, so that's probably a better investment.
[X] Skill plan: Sweetly Social Songs
-[X] Manipulation* 3, Presence* 3, Composure* 2 (16 points)
-[X] War 3, Perceptiveness** 3, Fortitude 1, Resilience* 3, Fade 2, Empathy* 3, Speech 3 (18 points)
-[X] Woodwind* 3 (6 points)
This plan works fine with both month plans - EANP just gets more War do, while SES gets more Resilience. Both however should be able to meet level up targets in good order.

What? Justice is not something to be 'reigned in', it is to be upheld and pursued by all decent men and women.
No. No, no, no. Don't act like it was qwolfs that brought this whole thing up. He wasn't the one claiming that we've made a huge mistake and that we should jump ship.
Interesting. I'm reading this as mostly being Cai swearing off all the stuff like the shenanigans that surrounded the arranging of the tournament last year. However, IIRC Shenhua was totally willing to take advantage of that sort of thing (she didn't mess with anything because she wanted to test CRX rather than any sort of principle regarding nepotism), which may be a sort of cue for some future friction.

Ah, I see Cai Renxiang has figured out the appropriate stick to get Ling Qi to focus on her Ninja stuff.
That if she keeps doubling down on music, she makes for a far more effective PR girl than a ninja.
Boy, you can just hear Ling Qi's internal screaming.
Well, we can fix this.
The problem is Ling Qi doesn't like socialising with people she doesn't know.
The solution is obvious:
Make sure we know everything about everyone we have to talk to. Then they won't really be strangers and we'll be able to talk to them about things that aren't the weather!

@BurningIce53 is of course welcome to choose to not discuss the topic. But I don't see why the discussion should be dropped simply because you don't think there is enough information, particularly since they clearly have enough information to have a formed an opinion they felt was worth sharing publicly.
These kinds of solutions are literally why I read Xianxa. Always wanted a *taps head* moment of my own.

I love the aesthetics of Night Parade, and don't really like the immobility of SES, so here we go!

Also, pet peeve. It's EANP not ENAP. Night Parade, Night Parade. Evanescent Anthem of the Night Parade not Evanescent Night of the Anthem Parade.

Add me to the people that would have been confused at the original version of Cai's words.

Ugh, once again people are pretending that what's happening was totally their choice. I tought us being friend with CRX and changing her into a better person was something we intended to do but whatever.

SES is much, much better for our build than EANP, dispel resist is incredibly usefull to us.

And what exactly is happening? Nothing has really changed. Cai has just stated her future goals. I don't see anything in those goals that show Cai plans to hurt us. I don't see anything in those goals that shows that Cai is planning to be a monster. So what is happening?

Authoritarian overtones are things that makes people uneasy, even if they knew they were there. This hasn't changed anything and it's everything we knew would happen, but it makes people who want to get CRX to mellow out a bit scared.

Nice, going to vote for that one in my previous post (in case this delete the plan post I won't do it in this one).
