How do you think Ya Qing ended up working for Ye Zun? Given her low attitude towards Zhu Jiu - in episode 13 she calls him a psycho and tells him she wouldn't give him the time of day if it wasn't for Ye Zun's orders - I doubt it was via Zhu Jiu ... I'm pretty sure Zhu Jiu recruited her, since he rubs her nose in the fact that the boss directly recruited him but not her at one point. Perhaps it started off better, but Zhu Jiu grew more arrogant as they started seeing Hallows and Ya Qing ran out of ability to tolerate his shit?
Outside of the near disastrous results, do you think Ya Qing regrets any of what she did? Ya Qing doesn't seem to be the guilt type – she'd shrug and move on, instead of being consumed by regret. (This is apparently also in line with how IRL birds work.)
As for ships, well, Ying Chun is a free space, and everyone looks good with Zhu Hong. *g* I think that's the extent of the canon characters I ship her with, though a pragmatic no-nonsense OFC would work as well.
