I both love and hate this theory.

I love it because it makes a load of sense, yet at the same time, I hate it because the end result is that Cinder is related to the Xiao Long Rose family.

So as to not get my emotions confuzzled, I'll probably hold off speculating further about Cinder since I might arrive at the same point as you.

That said, how old would Mama Xiao Long be when she had Cinder? That wasn't clear here.
