Our #XNINETwitterSpaces was a success! With dozens of people attending we hung out for two hours 😳 and talked XNINE, answering questions, sharing stories and complaining about WJJW. 😂 Thanks so much to all the Squad and the Dimples who came and helped us celebrate XNINE's 5th Anniversary, coming up on the 28th.

Wu Jiacheng is in a series of ads for Budweiser “Nitro” (it’s on tap) in which he has no luck with blind dates, poor thing.

Your Produce Camp 2019 Team XNINE for ElleMen.

Some translations from the accompanying text by @boqinhuai:

About Yan Xujia:

omg hhhh so some ellemen staff used to watch xfire “We really watched him grow up” “He has good body proportions and a strong aura. I feel like a mother going back home after years and saw how his son has already grown up, surprised and relieved.”

“A colleague was telling a staff how she still remembers Jiajia as the boy with braces. Yan Xujia happened to hear this and laughed shyly, covering his mouth with a hand. Peng Chuyue said ‘Jiajia is Jia-ye* now!’ Yep, you’re right" 

 *Jia-ye=嘉爷/Master Jia

About Peng Chuyue:

"Due to the 'Have to 焚’, we arranged Peng Chuyue and Yan Xujia to take a set together” “Peng Chuyue finished doing makeup first, greeted us saying that it’s the first time working together & he was looking forward”

“Yue-ge is really an 'old’ artist, he knew what to do. He was soon on model mode, really cool.” “We told him to smile & he did, but he looked a bit silly. Peng Chuyue switched to Peng Chuhuan” “Yue-ge picked out pics himself, he is someone with own thoughts”

About Xia Zhiguang:

-If you don’t debut in the final lineup, what will you do? xzg: If I don’t debut in the final lineup, I will go do some commercial events. -So pratical? xzg: Cause I have no money to pay rent! If I can’t pay the rent, it’s not just me, but my cats will have nowhere to live too

About Zhao Lei:

originally, zl wasn’t scheduled to do this photoshoot, but the team heard him singing from the practice room and wanted him to be part of the shoot too. The team communicated with PDCamp production team last minute and called zl over after it was agreed~

Eastern Palace Reading Guide+Epilogue Summary (Heavy Spoilers)

Fei Wo Si Cun’s Eastern Palace has been invading my feeling heavily for these past few days. I started reading the novel only a year ago since I’ve heard many good (bad) review of it. Some called it “the ultimate tragic story in the history of romance C-novels”. And that tells A LOT. 

Long story short, since I knew that the novel isn’t completely translated I just let it be. Until early this year when I decided to gear up for the release of the drama adaptation, I found the summary spoiler-y page for the rest of the chapters that havent been translated. I read it, and.. I was so devastated…

Li Cheng Yin and Xiao Feng are….that thing… They conspicuously have infiltrated every quarter of my being. That being said I will definitely write more about them. This particular post is just gonna be a simple and summary guide to the Eastern Palace novel and its epilogue+a few additional chapters. 

THE WRITING UNDER NUMBER 3 CONTAINS HEAVY SPOILERS, PROCEED ONLY IF YOU HAVE DONE NUMBER 1 AND 2.

How to read Eastern Palace in order.

1. 

Let’s start with the translated chapters of Eastern Palace. There are a total of 42 chapters + epilogue chapter in Eastern Palace. Novel Update has them translated up to chapter 25, and here is the link https://www.novelupdates.com/series/eastern-palace/ 

———————————-end here——————————–

2.

Next, to get insight into what happens more in the flashback and what happens after chapter 25, basically you can go to this page, link http://xia0yuer.tumblr.com/post/24595824421/review-of-eastern-palace-and-scene-translation-an?is_related_post=1#axzz5fgRstQdU they did a one chapter translation and brief summary for the rest of the story.

———————————end here———————————

3.

So we have arrived at the edge of our demise. How could a story be this tragic, how could a character be this cruel. We all hate Li Cheng Yin. We root and cry for Xiao Feng. I was looking for an answer and it happened when an amazing Twitter friend of mine, Riya, who have read the rest of the chapters and the epilogue by herself enlightened me when I asked her opinion on whether Li Cheng Yin have truly loved Xiao Feng or not. She then told me the detailed explanation on what happened in the epilogue. I also then braved to read the epilogue myself. 

I’ll give you the link to our Twitter conversation and the original novel (below this summary)

Twitter Conversation 1

Twitter Conversation 2

Twitter Conversation 3

Twitter Conversation 4

From Pei Zhao chapter, it is said that Li Cheng Yin never believed in the river of forgetfulness. So he was certain he will die with Xiao Feng the first time they jumped into the river. The second time Xiao Feng tried to kill herself, he was ready to jump following her but Pei Zhao held him back.

Pei Zhao also mentioned when he rescued both Li Cheng Yin and Xiao Feng from the river the first time they jumped together, he saw how their hands are tied together with a belt. Pei Zhao thought the prince must be wanting to be together with Xiao Feng in death.

The epilogue is set 30 years after Xiao Feng’s death and is in the POV of Pei Zhao’s son. Pei Zhao also had a daughter named Liu Niang (which eventually ended up together with Li Mu, Li Cheng Yin’s son-this was written as separate short story). From here we learned that Li Cheng Yin had only two kids from different concubines. The two kids were also a daughter and a son, the daughter was named Chaoyang, while the son was named Li Mu (Amu). It is told that Chaoyang received Li Cheng Yin’s full love and was the most carefree and cherished person in the palace.

Li Cheng Yin conferred a title Queen of Mingde for his beloved crown princess Xiao Feng. It is also said that Li Cheng Yin never take anyone as his official empress after he took the throne as The Emperor.

Liu Niang, Amu, and Chaoyang liked to play together and they were close to each other. Li Cheng Yin believed Chaoyang was his daughter with Xiao Feng and told everyone that she really resembled Xiao Feng. In actuality, she wasn’t. Li Niang and Amu once asked a nanny is it true that Chaoyang looked like the late crown princess (Queen Mingde) and the nanny answered she actually did not. The nanny then described Queen Mingde as someone who is so beautiful and although she has thin and pale body, her beauty did not look anything like Central Plains’ women.

Eventually Chaoyang died. Li Niang and Amu were deeply sad about her death but she thought to herself that there was other person that was far more affected by Chaoyang’s death, and that was The Emperor.

Pei Zhao visited The Emperor in his old age and convinced him that Xiao Feng was long dead and Chaoyang was also not her daughter. Li Cheng Yin refused to believe it and kept saying that she was only going back to Xi Liang. Pei Zhao added a little detail by saying that more than 10 years ago he visited Xiao Feng’s grave and the grass was already so full, meaning that Xiao Feng had long gone and The Emperor should accept it

Some other additional details that Riya found from FWSC weibo and other fans’ page

Li Cheng Yin came across Xu Baolin (who was wearing red dress at that time) when he was drunk and fell for her silhouette that reminded him of Xiao Feng. Hence, Xu Baolin is pregnant.

FWSC wrote a deleted scene in the epilogue. Not long after Chaoyang’s death, Li Cheng Yin passed the kingdom to his son and he went to wall from where Xiao Feng jumped. He jumped and successfully took his own life in the same place Xiao Feng died.

The daughter name was named Chaoyang, but her pet name is actually A’Huang. Amu, her half brother liked to call him A’Huang too. It is said that the name A’Huang is based on the phoenix where the other word for phoenix was ‘Feng Huang’. So it might be related to Xiao Feng as well.

On the additional new scenes, it is revealed that Xiao Feng wasn’t actually her birth name and it was something like Malzima. It is the name of a tree with red leaves/maple. Gu Xiao Wu (Li Cheng Yin) told her that maple leaf is called “Feng” in Central Plains hence he gave her the name ‘Xiao Feng’, the ‘Xiao’ was added because there is ‘Xiao’ too in ‘Gu Xiao Wu’.

They had some pets together. She gave him her 2 gerbils to raise. One of them dies and he tries to find another gerbil which looks exactly the same because he didn’t want to break her heart. 

Note that both Riya and I read the epilogue with the help of google translate. So please take this with a grain of salt as the translation may not be accurate but it did give a brief and general understanding as to what happened in the epilogue.

Thank you for reading until the end, hope we can be sad together! Also feel free to correct me and tell me if you have come across other posts that have done another translation or brief summary on the epilogue or additional chapters part :D

We are so cute. 💖💖🤭🤭

I’m at 7GO5T9 on Zepeto until we all forget what we’ve done today.

Bonus:

[kriealz]

💖

An unnvervingly long and quiet Xiao Wu Weibo video of two of his cats doing whatever it is they’re doing seems like a great opportunity to let you know about the new WuJiacheng Global Fanclub accounts on Instagram and Twitter. Our Weibo Wu Ren friends are involved in helping bring Xiao Wu and his particular brand of Xiao Wu-ness to the world. Yay them! 

[kriealz]

If it's jp dubbed it's "animeish" 🤭💖

we’ve come full circle

[kriealz]

I’m sorry this is all I could think about after watching this video

[kriealz]

I'm so proud of our Squad 😭😭

The actual XNINE Tumblr site is pretty much done, design-wise. I had nothing to do with it looking as awesome as it does. That was mainly the work of the mighty YUER, as are all the info links and event stuff. I just follow the lead of her, Chi and the rest of the gang. Go see the gorgeousness and learn things! 

[kriealz]

We'll work hard 💖💖🤭

Let’s start with a master list!

Welcome, Dimples and Dimples of the future! It’s our first Tumblr post!

We’re a group of XNINE fans from around the world sharing our love for the boys in English on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and now Tumblr! Information has been difficult to find outside China, but it’s getting easier all the time and we’re doing our best to help. Like on our other accounts, we’ll be sharing news and fun stuff from various sources (giving them credit, of course!) and coming up with our own things from time to time. What you’ll find here will be similar to what you’ll find on our other accounts, but we hope it will sometimes have its own spin on things. 😊 

Maybe the toughest thing about getting into XNINE is knowing where to begin! A good place to start without getting too overwhelmed is the XNINE Page at K-Profiles, which has pics and some facts about all the members. 

A good next step might be the 玉儿 YUER YouTube channel, which has a bunch of different videos (many of them with Eng Subs) - MVs, interviews, variety show appearances, live performances… and some things that are hard to categorize. 😂If you’re new, try YUER’s Beginner’s Guide below for a 14-minute crash course. (If you only speak in memes, tho, give this a try.)

Staying on YouTube for a minute, we know some of the international attention XNINE’s been getting has to do with Wu Jiacheng (aka Xiao Wu) appearing on the music “competition” series Chao Yin Zhan Ji (潮音战纪, or CYZJ). If you’ve just been getting little clips from here and there, know that the full season of all 10 episodes is available in all its Eng-subbed glory at the CYZJ Subs YouTube channel.

When you’re ready to dive in a little deeper into XNINE, try the Master Note at our Facebook Page. It has a ton of links like for members’ Weibo and Insta accounts, more videos and information on the group’s history, which hasn’t been the smoothest. 

That’s all for now! We hope you follow us so we can keep sharing XNINE stuff with you and all of us can share it with even more people around the world! Thank you and we’ll see you in the feeds! 👋🏼
