Don't get it twisted I also hate the trend of redeeming every character in sight, however. I suggest Mercury because he's developed enough and has a history and sort of parallel to Yang that they could be enemies to lovers. Bringing in a whole new character for the sake of a romantic subplot is a waste of time. I'd rather an existing character (like Mercury) start sharing moments and feeling like he can relate to Yang and through their shared understanding a romance can blossom, that feels more natural and better written then "here's a guy we made up and have to develop and have him build a relationship with that will take time away from the other plots."
