The way I remembered Yan Wushi's disciples' names is because they both have "yan" in them:
Yan Wushi
Bian Yanmei
Yu Shengyan
The earlier the "yan" in their name appears, the higher their status in Huanyue sect. The character for "yan" in each of their names is different, so it probably doesn't work the same way in Chinese. But I have to find tricks like this to remember who is who in danmei because there are so many characters!
