Note: I didn't include the Sundial exchange itself in question 1 because I don't think that was done in the spirit of sacrifice. Feel free to @ me!! ;-)

If I'd had to think about what to choose, I'd have gone for one of the effective ones, not the ineffectual ones (I have a competence kink, what can I say), and for a successful one, and for one that's a thought-out sacrifice, and ... well, I'd have ended up at the energy bomb anyway, LOL.
(Agreed that the Sundial thing doesn't count; it wasn't intended as sacrifice, and that's a necessary condition. What definitely counts and is missing from the poll, though, is Zhao Yunlan giving himself to the Lantern! That would have been my second choice. *g*)
As for the second question, I always assumed it was just empty. ZYL seems to have a decent relationship with the one neighbour of his we see, and there's so little time between Shen Wei first meeting Zhao Yunlan and him viewing the flat, there's no way to guarantee anyone moving out that fast out of nowhere except by evicting them or terrorising them, which is very not Shen Wei. And sure it's a big coincidence, but I honestly don't mind that at all.

If we're talking actual non-cracky reasons, ITA! I don't really see any other explanation than this. :) (And if we're talking cracky reasons, I'd still never be able to imagine Shen Wei doing any evicting or terrorizing, just getting the people something better than this apartment. xD)

Yayay! ♡ *high five* 'Most people' don't get to decide what is awesome for you. :D

Also a fantastic one. :D :D

YES! And by jumping in front of Ye Zun's energy bolt, he's both protecting ZYL and provoking YZ into eating him -- both desired outcomes at this stage. I love that he manages to combine those things!
and ... well, I'd have ended up at the energy bomb anyway, LOL.
Hee!

Ohhh, how did I miss that? *facepalms forever*
And sure it's a big coincidence, but I honestly don't mind that at all.
I don't either, to be clear! I mean, it's fate. These two are so entangled, fate makes perfect sense! The poll question was just for fun. :-)

Yes! Every part of it is SO GOOD. ♥ ♥ ♥
