I've always felt that Jing Yuan's methodology is more reactive than proactive.
Jing Yuan might take a general strategy of wait and let the enemy reveal their hand first, but in terms of life goals, Jing Yuan is pretty active about forging his own path. Instead of accepting a cushy life in 地衡司 per his parents' desires, he went off to join the Cloud Knights, where none of his family's connections could benefit him. He made a name for himself by actively pursuing methods that would result in the least amount of direct confrontations, a strategy that the game lore has stated to garner him a lot of haters, but it's effective and also gained him attention from the higher ups. He lured Dan Heng back to Luofu to set up a situation where he forced Dan Heng to help instead of relying on Dan Heng volunteering his help out of the goodness of his heart.
So I think over all, JY has been trying to forge his own destiny, even when his friends have either died or abandoned him. Obviously he isn't the type to throw all responsibilities out the window in pursuit of his own wants, but he's not going to just give up his goals simply because of the political limitations. He's been struggling to keep the people he care about safe or free as much as his position allows, constantly pushing at the boundaries of what's acceptable, hence why he's made so many political enemies, if 飞霄's words are to be believed.
There's a strong edge under JY's easy going exterior that seems to be ignored by a lot of fandom.
Sunday is leaked to become playable in a future patch
