Pang Tong smiled at these sentiments, saying, "My lord's words are quite in accord with abstract rectitude, but such ideas scarcely suit the days of rebellion."

Liu Bei’s Army

A gathering of itinerant warriors, scholars and oddballs who flock to the mysterious Han loyalist roaming across the land, gathering support against Cao Cao. Liu Bei is quite the enigma and despite officially holding no land, rank or title, his charisma is quite resounding and he emerges wherever Cao Cao’s influence wavers with legions at his back.

very funny how zhuge liang sent a letter saying hey just a heads up i’ve seen these astronomical signs foretelling disaster, and pang tong immediately thought he’s Jealous of me he wants to Undermine my relationship with liu bei. and swooped in like haha ignore him he’s lying about those signs because he doesn’t like me, i saw the signs too and they actually mean everything’s peachy :) like come on buddy calm your tits and stop projecting. if there’s anyone here who has never experienced jealousy it’s zhuge liang without a question

PANG TONG NO

[iinexorabile]

Tong and Jia are, all things considered, pretty close in a majority of their other verses (FE, the Modern!Fantasy stuff, etc) but its actually hilarious because in their canon main timeline they wind up ultimately being responsible for each other's deaths.

Webnovel Carrd Links [Part 1]

I usually use Novel Updates, but Carrds are great to support the author, find translations not on NU, find Content Warnings, and learn more about the story / other adaptations. If there's a novel not here, it can be helpful to search the name of the novel + "carrd" or "novel updates"

How Dare You!?

(a donghua rec post)

(aka 'cheng he ti tong' aka 'this is ridiculous')

Summary: Our main character (Yu Wanyin) is transported into a novel she skimmed on the way to work as one of the villain roles. Pretty basic transmigration story, right? But it makes some interesting choices early on, as it turns out the emperor (a villain in the original story) is also a transmigrator. And not just that, but as the story Yu Wanyin was reading was itself a transmigration story, the original protagonist is also there.

Yu Wanyin, of course, wants to just gather together all the transmigrators and bypass the whole bad ending deal, but it's not so simple. After all, multiple transmigrators create a ripple effect, and sometimes it's not possible to tell who's a character and who's a transmigrator.

Anyway, the show starts off down the comedic end, for sure. The whole "if you're transmigrated and I'm transmigrated then who's leading the country" kinda deal. But there's a lot of plotting between *our* protagonists and the original protagonists of the story. And a lot of foreshadowing you don't even realise until the plot twist has already been revealed, at which point earlier events are cast in an entirely different light.

More thoughts below readmore

You'll probably like this show if you also like: You Yao/Are You Okay? (another transmigration donghua adapted from a story by the same author - I haven't watched past ep 1 yet, but even that has pretty heavy similarities); Liang Bu Yi/No Doubt In Us (bodyswap donghua between the emperor and empress ft political scheming); Your Throne/I Want to be You, Just For a Day (bodyswap manhwa between two seeming rivals for the role of crown princess - Psyche and Medea have a very similar dynamic to Yu Wanyin and Xiahou Dan in some ways)

My personal favourite aspects: The characters and the foreshadowing game. I know the bar is low at times, but it's especially nice to have a transmigration story which bothers to give the female characters depth. But yeah, the foreshadowing is just... if you know me you know I love recontextualisation and this is chock full of it.

Where to watch: iQiyi or YouTube (though iQiyi locks some of the middle episodes away behind VIP).

Misc extra info: If like me you watch the donghua and end up needing more, there's an unofficial English translation available of the novel online. At the time of writing, only season 1 of the donghua is out with season 2 due soon, so reading the novel will let you conclude the story. But tbh, it adds a lot of extra perspective to characters regardless. And if you read the novel, please make sure check out the extras! Special shout out to the Bei Zhou short story, which will probably never be adapted for... reasons.

Pang Tong is here! Yay! I loved how he tested everyone. When Zijing thought he could snatch him away from Kongming, he ended up leaving them anyway.

He wasn't easy on Liu Bei either but the power of his Big Brown Eyes™ won in the end.

I would love to see Cao Cao's reaction to this

Cao Cao: I gifted my best horse to Guan Yu yet he left anyway:( And you? Pang Tong didn't even want yours yet he joined you, what's your secret to recruit a talent this easily??

Liu Bei: crying does the job usually

I loved the moment when Liu Bei introduced Pang Tong to Kongming, like, Look who I found! :) Little did he know, the geniuses all know each other here

I adored the knowing look they gave each other when Pang Tong mentioned he wanted to take a look at the map of Riverlands and Kongming's eyes practically sparkled, like, this is our person :)
