Yue Yao (because I need to scream about her awesomeness and the dangers of retconning), Yue Qing, and How NOT to Write Women - A Rant(TM) about Dashing Youth & The Blood of Youth

Spoilers ahead for Dashing Youth and The Blood of Youth if you have not seen either live action drama, since we haven't gotten there in the donghua yet. You have been duly warned. Now come scream with me. I've been wanting to scream about this for a while.

Okay, what the hell??? Prefacing this again with the fact that I watched Dashing Youth before TBOY and I'm just...floored? Yue Yao was so interesting. She was up against some major political issues where the repercussions of her choices and the choices made by the people around her would impact and probably, most likely, cause the deaths of thousands. She was dealing with a missing father who, for all they knew, could have been dead, a clingy sister-turned-annoying-character-trope, the fate of her people, and also the fate of all of Beili and Beique (I mean, seriously, you want to talk about Yi Wenjun being at fault for instigating the three-way war between Nanjue, Tianwaitian, and Beili, AND SHE WASN'T ACTUALLY AT FAULT ASIDE FROM NOT COMMUNICATING WITH HER HUSBAND BEFORE MAKING A HUGE DECISION THAT WOULD IMPACT THEM ALL and leaving her infant son in the house BY HIMSELF, PLEASE Yue Yao would have been directly responsible for all the deaths resulting from any move she made), all the while trying to find a way to do what was best for everyone AND getting to know the prodigy and dumbass with a heart that was Baili Dongjun, whose grandfather Baili Luochen helped Beili in the war with Beique that resulted in her people being killed and displaced to the unforgiving north.

/breathe

And oh, does she ever find a way. Baby girl decides to just DIY this whole shebang when she finds the natural-born martial arts prodigies with the special meridians or whatever the hell the drama said it was that set Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi apart from alllll the other martial arts practitioners and just takes her sworn sister's identity, gets a makeover, and BAM joins the Jixia Academy...audition.

Not only that, but we see that she is more than her pretty clothes and her miss-fairy-in-a-carriage persona that we've seen up until this point in the drama. SHE CAN FIGHT! SHE CAN BEAT SOMEONE'S ASS! SHE CAN CHEAT AND GAMBLE! SHE STRAIGHT UP APPROACHES BAILI DONGJUN AND CHALLENGES HIM. SHE. APPROACHES. HIM. FIRST. Also it's really freakin' cute.

SHE STANDS UP FOR HERSELF AND HER TEAMMATES AND PROTECTS THEM. SHE SAVES BAILI DONGJUN'S TAIL. SHE'S GOT HER OWN WAY OF THINKING AND SHE'S FUNNY AS HELL. SHE SLAPS HIM CLEAN ACROSS THE FACE FOR GOING TO A BROTHEL.

We see her enter Jixia Academy, we see her train under Liu Yue (which I am still salty about because we could have used a lot more scenes of her and Liu Yue training and just being master/apprentice, see her having a hard time with really just using Liu Yue to stay near Baili Dongjun for her own/Beique's ends, especially with Liu Yue declaring that he doesn't care about her true identity, just that she is now his apprentice and that means that he's always on her side please Liu Yue was the best and he got fking nuked at the end, even if he got to retire from jianghu with Mo Xiaohei lol), WE SEE HER STRUGGLE. This entire time, Yue Yao is absolutely torn between a) doing what is best for her people, b) doing what is best for everyone and not causing the deaths of thousands, and c) not falling for the guy whose grandfather is a war hero because he killed her people.

Also the fact that this dumbass she is falling in love with has been pining after her miss-fairy-in-a-carriage persona for so long he has no clue she's right in front of him. Good job, Dongjun /pat pat

Let's play this out.

If Yue Yao a) does what is best for her people, which everyone thinks is reclaiming Beili, a warmer and far more fertile land, and creating better lives for themselves, that would incite another war and cause many, many deaths. Also, there's a very, very high possibility that Beique might lose anyway!

If Yue Yao b) does what is best for everyone and not cause another war and the deaths of thousands, she is condemning her own people to a harsh life in the cold, icy, desolate north.

If Yue Yao c) falls for the guy whose grandfather is a war hero because he killed her people, she will be seen as a traitor and will be turned on because they'll think she turned on them first, especially since she is basically their princess.

What's a girl to do.

SHE FREAKIN' OWNS UP TO IT AND COMES CLEAN with Baili Dongjun and her followers, Mo Qixuan and Zi Yuji. She does not lie to them and is up front about her vision and what she wants to do for her people and for herself, because they don't have to be mutually exclusive things. She follows her heart; she knows that while she wants a better life for her people, it cannot be found in a new war with Beili to settle old grudges and claim old land. She wants to find a new home for them.

Yue 👏 Yao 👏 is 👏 so 👏 great.

...Only for all of that buildup in the first half of the drama to go absolutely nowhere as her vision is never recognized. She returns to Tianwaitian only to be locked up for betraying Beique with zero timeline as to how long she was locked up for and how she actually got out of the cage. There were no repercussions for her escaping or leaving. In fact, as soon as she leaves Tianwaitian, Yue Yao's character basically stops caring for Beique, and she literally did not matter to the plot going forward. Her people in Tianwaitian never find a better home for themselves. They never get to leave the far north, never reclaim their old kingdom, and never get to rebuild, even before Ye Dingzhi establishes the Demon Sect. Ergo, even if we disregard the events of TBOY, Yue Yao still doesn't get to help her people and all of that development was useless.

Instead, after all that talk about wanting to find a better home and do better by her people, after all the character development and establishment, after all the scenes where we get to see that Yue Yao has a backbone and the fighting skills to prove it, she ends up as arm candy for Baili Dongjun for the next like seven years while the two of them remained unmarried. Um??????????

Why build up all that character and her skills and her relationships with Liu Yue, Baili Dongjun, her freakin' sister, and Mo Qixuan/Zi Yuji only for all of them to basically go kaput? Even with Baili Dongjun, most of the time, she's...just there. Just...looking pretty. Not doing anything.

No one waits seven years to get married, especially when they're in such close quarters like Yue Yao and Baili Dongjun were pre-war and during the war. This makes zero sense, and honestly just cheapens their already-sad relationship even more because it shows a lack of respect on his part. There's no denying that he does love her, but the respect, which is based off of the values of the people in their time, is not there, whether for her honor, virtue, or just the progression of their relationship. Seven years is a long time, especially in period Chinese dramas (and reality, back in those times) when two people are hanging out in an established relationship.

Yue Yao is displeased.

And then we come to the problem of her sister, Yue Qing, who has decided to play a self-insert victim and villain, somehow both at the same time by not actually being relevant to the plot and generally not actually being good at anything at all.

Her motivation: Yue Yao is her older sister, the one she has always looked up to, and she sucks at being the eldest princess and has essentially abandoned them to chase after the sweet, sweet tail that is Neo Hou in a period drama. Ergo, Yue Qing needs to leave Beique to find the other special person martial arts prodigy, Ye Dingzhi, and homegirl does her best to manipulate the hell out of this poor, traumatized kid in order to get him back to Beique and free her father so that they can march on Beili and reclaim their kingdom. He sees right through her though, and because there is no way in the eighteen levels of hell she can beat him in a fight, and she tries, she goes back to his doorway like a kicked puppy every time he throws her out because it's clear she has no idea what on earth she's doing except that she thinks she's all that and has every reason to condemn thousands of people to their deaths so that she can incite a new war for a better life for the people of Tianwaitian.

In the same way that Yue Yao was SO great in the first half of Dashing Youth, we do not give two shakes about Yue Qing and how she is barely even relevant to the plot, because if you stuck Mo Qixuan or Zi Yuji in there to manipulate this poor bastard, the result would have ended up the same way and she does not impact the story whatsoever.

And then Ye Dingzhi saves Yue Qing's life, and all of a sudden, she understands why her sister decided to go with Baili Dongjun instead of staying in Beique, according to the story lore. It also doesn't hurt that he's pretty and he's feeding her medicine and didn't just...let her die.

PFFFFFFFFFFT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Yue Qing, the bar is on the floor. Also girl, you manipulated him and used him and he does not care for or about you. In fact, the only reason he saved your life was because he lashed out at you and almost killed you and felt guilty for it before he proceeded to throw you out again.

Because Ye Dingzhi is untouchable at this point, Yue Qing proceeds to then manipulate his wife, Yi Wenjun (which is another convoluted story point because she's already married and is a secondary consort to Xiao Ruojin who is an absolute monster in the actual worst way, which is why I did not feel a lick of empathy or sympathy for him in TBOY--I mean, he put her under using some drugs and it was HEAVILY IMPLIED that he gr@ped her while she was completely unconscious and everyone just kind of breezes over this plot point in the dramas), and sends her back to Tianqi by spreading false news of Xiao Yu being really, really sick (causing problems even at a young age, I see). Because of this, Ye Dingzhi is then manipulated into going to Beique to free Yue Qing and Yue Yao's father so that he can be number one in the world and take his wife back, blahhhh blah blah.

AND THEN THEIR FATHER DIES after a confrontation between him, Baili Dongjun, and Ye Dingzhi, and it's almost like Yue Qing and Yue Yao are pitting their respective special martial arts person against each other because they're both natural-born wumai which is NOT actually a thing, and I don't even understand what it is and do not care to actually translate this; IT'S SUPER DUMB.

And because the official leader of Beique, Yue Yao and Yue Qing's father, dies, Ye Dingzhi goes full demon mode and takes over the people of Tianwaitian and establishes the Demon Sect by uniting all 30-something sects in the outer regions of Beili, which was supposedly impossible until this point. He then begins the infamous three-way war between Beili, Nanjue, and Tianwaitian which Yi Wenjun then gets blamed for instigating.

UMMMM??? DOES THIS NOT SOUND FAMILIAR??? DO WE NOT ALSO KNOW OF A WOMAN WHO WAS SAID TO BE SO BEAUTIFUL THAT MEN WENT TO WAR FOR HER AND LAID SIEGE TO AN ENTIRE FREAKIN' CITY WHICH IS NOW A FAMOUS TRAGEDY? DID THE DIRECTORS OF THIS DRAMA WANT A CDRAMA VERSION?

(in case anyone is lost, the answer is Troy. It's Helen of Troy.)

Also, RUDE that her "instigating" this war is what she is known for, even in The Blood of Youth. Yi Wenjun gets blamed for this massive, awful historical event when the only thing she did was be manipulated by Yue Qing using her child. Like, what on earth /eye roll

It was also never talked about how she was coerced into this marriage by her father in TBOY (which we find out in DY) and that this was never something she wanted anyway. Also the gr@pe because that was completely unnecessary and again, breezed over by every single character in Dashing Youth, which, also, WHY did it have to happen that way? Xiao Yu's existence in TBOY could literally be explained by "marital duties" or "wedding night" or something even if the spouses hated each other, did y'all really have to sink to gr@pe????? Especially since I watch dramas for escapism and fantasy and not historical accuracy because of course this has happened probably many times over the course of history. I am angry.

We find out later that Yue Qing is locked up by Ye Dingzhi and then just dies via suicide in prison at the end of the three-way war while Yue Yao rides off into the sunset with Baili Dongjun in her fairy carriage, intent on marrying her at last after SEVEN AND A HALF YEARS TOGETHER, YES I DID THE FREAKING MATH (let me know if anyone needs an approximate timeline).

Following this trainwreck and what Dashing Youth has established, we get to the canon in The Blood of Youth, which takes place twelve years after the prequel. Now that the twelve-year pact between Tianwaitian and Beili where Ye Anshi, the son of Ye Dingzhi and Yi Wenjun, is a hostage in Beili is over, the story picks up where we see our heroes in the following places:

Baili Dongjun: Master of Xueyue City and a depressed drunk after (we learn later) mistakenly killing his wife because he was manipulated into doing so, making this the biggest regret of his life

Yue Yao: dead. Was dead before Tang Lian stepped foot into Xueyue City, and was dead because someone manipulated Baili Dongjun into thinking Yue Yao was Yue Qing and he kills her.

...wait what? But...but I thought Yue Qing died in the prison even before Baili Dongjun and Yue Yao got married in canon? I think we're told in TBOY that Yue Yao blocked an attack for her sister or died for her sister or something via her husband attacking her thinking she was her sister or I DON'T KNOW it's not really clear. The point is, the events of both dramas can't both be true or canon at the same time.

Aaaaaand we've hit one of the biggest retcon snags between the two dramas. Shifting the focus over to the problem with retcons, my first question is this: DY directors and producers, you guys had the perfect template and formula since The Blood of Youth exists and had such incredible ratings. Y'all already have a world and a story and storyline and characters to work with and are able to entirely and completely plan ahead. How did y'all come up with this dumpster fire???? And it's not even a good dumpster fire?? How could Yue Qing cause Yue Yao's death, which we are told is what happens in Baili Dongjun's dream in TBOY, if she's dead??

Other honorable problematic retcon mentions:

There's a specific voiceover at the end of DY telling us what happened to the main characters at the end of the war, and though in TBOY the story said that Lei Mengsha died fighting against Nanjue, we are shown that he and Xiao Ruofeng are both fine and victorious. WHAT???

In TBOY, we are told by Li Suwang of the Sword Heart Tomb that his daughter, Li Xinyue first met Lei Mengsha at the Sword Heart Tomb when he and his buddy his pal Baili Dongjun stopped by and convinced her to duel and then roam jianghu with them. We see that at the beginning of Dashing Youth, Lei Mengsha actually meets Baili Dongjun a LOT later in the narrative, and by then, Li Hanyi is already about five years old and Lei Mengsha and Li Xinyue have been married for A While.

Yin Luoxia and Yue Yao are shown to be sworn sisters who met and became extremely close even before the events of DY, even closer than Yue Qing and Yue Yao at their absolute tightest. Luoxia lives in Xueyue City in TBOY. She knows Baili Dongjun personally. THEY DID NOT INTERACT. SHE DIDN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT YUE YAO ONCE IN ALL THE SCREENTIME THAT SHE HAD.

Sikong Changfeng says in TBOY that Li Hanyi is four years younger than him, but started studying under their master first and this is also why she is the Second City Master and he is the Third. This is only half true; while Li Changsheng took Li Hanyi in as an apprentice, she was literally like five or six at the time. Nangong Chunshui then proceeded to take on Sikong Changfeng not long after, but Sikong Changfeng by then was already a teenager headed into his adult years. Like, he's at least eighteen when Dashing Youth starts.

Speaking of Sikong Changfeng, TBOY says that the healer Hua Jin is his shimei, his younger martial sister from their master, the number one healer in the world, Xin Baicao. DY shows us that they met the one time where Xin Baicao was told by Baili Dongjun's uncle (who was a top poison user and the two of them got into competitions all the time wink wink cough cough) to save Sikong Changfeng's life. Sikong Changfeng stayed in the Medicine Valley for something like six months, all the while studiously not learning medicine from Xin Baicao and instead focuses on his spearwork and fighting skills. Also, Hua Jin isn't in DY at all.

This one is less of a retcon issue and more of a gripe, Baili Dongjun was literal childhood friends and best buds with Ye Dingzhi. Wuxin/Ye Anshi would literally be the equivalent of his nephew/godson. Do we get to see them interact at all aside from like 5 seconds in DY???? No. We do not. WE WERE CHEATED.

Another gripe, Sikong Changfeng and Baili Dongjun were bros in Dashing Youth, and have been for many years (according to my math, it's 21 years between the beginning of Dashing Youth and The Blood of Youth) and did we get to see them actually interact in TBOY??? NO.

Oh, with all this talk of Sikong Changfeng, another gripe about HOW TO NOT WRITE WOMEN--Feng Qiuyu (who is she, you may ask???).

She is, my friends, the mother of Sikong Qianluo.

BUT DO WE REALLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER? No. WE BARELY REMEMBER HER NAME. SHE WAS LITERALLY WRITTEN INTO DASHING YOUTH SO THAT SIKONG CHANGFENG COULD MEET HER AND SIKONG QIANLUO COULD BE BORN. SHE WAS ON SCREEN FOR A MAX OF 5 MINUTES DURING THE DRAMA AND WAS NEVER REALLY SEEN OR TALKED ABOUT AGAIN EXCEPT FOR LIKE A MINUTE AT THE END. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE COURTESY OF KNOWING SHE DIED BEFORE TBOY; WE HAVE TO PUT IT TOGETHER USING CONTEXT CLUES.

I AM YELLING.

Man, I started this rant really just wanting to talk about how best girl Yue Yao was done super dirty by the producers/writers of DY, but the more I thought about it and analyzed and wrote it all down, the more I got to the underlying issue of just the less-than-lackluster way this already-awfully-written drama treated their women, the angrier I got.

All this to say, Dashing Youth does not write or treat their women very well and that, my dears, is bullshit.

ZHANG QIUYUE

FACECLAIM: Feng Ayan (RED) DATA DE NASCIMENTO E IDADE: 09/04/1995, 29 anos GÊNERO: Mulher cis ETNIA E NACIONALIDADE: Chinesa, China OCUPAÇÃO: Massagista no Beauty & Co. É MORADOR OU TURISTA? Morador DISTRITO: Mueang Phuket @phtqiuyue.bsky.social

PERSONALIDADE:

Qiuyue é intensa, determinada e tem uma personalidade forte. Prefere agir a falar e não tem paciência para indecisão. Direta, às vezes ácida e sarcástica, mas também leal e confiável com quem é próxima. Sua impulsividade e o desejo de não ser subestimada a tornam vulnerável a escolhas arriscadas. Ela se vê frequentemente envolvida em situações moralmente ou legalmente duvidosas, especialmente quando se deixa levar por tentações, ultrapassando seus próprios limites éticos. Meticulosa, exigente consigo mesma e com os outros, não suporta ser contrariada, mesmo quando está certa. Ela é a exceção em um mundo de convenções e vive intensamente, sem medo de enfrentar qualquer desafio que se coloque em seu caminho.

HEADCANONS OU BIOGRAFIA:

Viver em Xangai, na China, uma cidade que nunca dorme, exige dinamismo, algo que Qiuyue conhece muito bem. Desde pequena, ela era inquieta, curiosa e teimosa, uma combinação que parecia tanto um presente quanto uma fonte de encrencas. Filha de uma acupunturista que atendia em casa, cresceu cercada pelos clientes e habilidades da mãe. Ainda que respeitasse o trabalho, nunca foi de aceitar as coisas sem questionar. Para ela, aquelas agulhas e massagens eram apenas parte da rotina... até perceber o impacto positivo que tinham nas pessoas.

Na adolescência, a jovem era puro contraste entre rebeldia e determinação. As notas medianas não refletiam falta de capacidade, mas de paciência. As aulas a entediavam, e ela preferia atividades manuais, aprendendo pela prática, errando e tentando de novo. Apesar de sua personalidade forte, era aquela amiga confiável, com convicções firmes que atraíam tanta admiração quanto algumas tretas.

Foi durante uma viagem com sua mãe à Phuket, na Tailândia, que sua perspectiva começou a mudar. A matriarca foi convidada para um intercâmbio cultural sobre medicina tradicional e levou sua filha junto com a promessa de apresentar outra cultura. Inicialmente, ela via aquilo como mais um evento chato. Mas, ao acompanhar de perto as práticas tailandesas, como a massagem tradicional e o uso de ervas medicinais dali, algo despertou nela.

O estilo mais intenso e a filosofia que conectava corpo e mente aguçou a curiosidade da jovem. Por mais que relutasse em admitir, ela não conseguiu deixar de se encantar com a força das técnicas tailandesas, tão contrastantes com a delicadeza da acupuntura que estava acostumada a ver.

Mas, quando a grana em casa apertou, Qiuyue começou a ajudar nos atendimentos. Não por paixão, mas porque detestava a ideia de ficar de braços cruzados. Entre preparar óleos, fazer anotações e, ocasionalmente, arriscar uma massagem, acabou descobrindo que tinha talento. A experiência na maior ilha da Tailândia também trouxe novas ideias, e ela passou a incorporar pequenos toques que viu durante a viagem, ainda que de maneira discreta. Foi um processo lento até admitir que, de fato, aquilo a atraía.

E quanto ao futuro? A chinesa resistiu à ideia de seguir os passos da mãe. Tentou publicidade, mas abandonou o curso em menos de um ano. Durante um jantar de domingo, soltou: “Pra quê me forçar a algo que odeio?”. Foram semanas de incerteza até que, em um momento de clareza, percebeu que poderia transformar o que já sabia fazer bem em algo próprio, feito à sua maneira. Não precisava replicar as técnicas da mãe nem trilhar exatamente o mesmo caminho, mas criar a sua própria abordagem.

Retornando à Phuket, matriculou-se em um curso profissionalizante, rapidamente se destacando dentre os demais. Fascinada pelo desafio de entender o corpo humano, dominava as técnicas com precisão e eficácia. Porém, esqueça o clichê da massagista zen. É uma pessoa prática, direta e, por vezes, impaciente. Em sua concepção, as mãos falam mais do que palavras.

Foi assim que se tornou uma massagista talentosa, atendendo no “Beauty & Co.”, onde os colegas brincam que ela é “intensa demais”, mas seus clientes sabem que saem dali renovados. Adora casos difíceis, os que chegam dizendo “meu problema não tem solução”, só para provar o contrário.

Fora do trabalho, mantém uma rotina totalmente fora dos padrões normativos, gosta de explorar estúdios de tatuagem, desde os mais sofisticados até os mais modestos da cidade, não é à toa que é cheia de tatuagens e sempre aparece com uma nova. Tem uma queda por barzinhos de reputação duvidosa e, recentemente, se inscreveu em aulas de automaquiagem – “para ficar mais gostosa”, segundo ela. No fundo, Qiuyue não busca paz, mas agitação. Detesta a monotonia e adora uma farra.

INFORMAÇÕES OOC: Ela/dela, +18

[feng-huli]

After yet another occurrence of me appreciating the writing choices in the Young Brewmaster’s Adventure donghua, I think I can finally pinpoint where things went most wrong in Dashing Youth’s version of the story. It starts with how Dashing Youth flattened the characters of Xiao Ruojin and Yi Bu to be used as heavy-handed tools by the writers to make Yi Wenjun’s life as miserable as possible, then reduced Yi Wenjun’s misery to mere motivation for Ye Dingzhi’s atrocities, and practically ignored the compelling motivation that could have come from the tragedy that happened to Ye Dingzhi’s family. Ye Yu’s death was used rather interestingly in increasing the tension between Baili Luochen and Xiao Zhongjing, but in Ye Dingzhi’s storyline was basically just the cause of a red herring for whether Ye Dingzhi would turn against Baili Dongjun for Xiao Xie—a question that was solved early and quickly. Instead, Xiao Ruojin became Ye Dingzhi’s ultimate enemy…despite not even knowing him.

It’s such a relief that the Young Brewmaster’s Adventure actually cares about writing Xiao Ruojin, Yi Bu, and so many of the female characters in a compelling way. Feng Qiuyu, Sikong Qianluo’s mother, is connected to the plot this time, rather than literally just being Sikong Changfeng’s love interest. Yue Yao’s relationship with Baili Dongjun is developed in a way that isn’t at the expense of Yin Luoxia’s screen time (I’m still annoyed at how Dashing Youth just replaced Yin Luoxia in the Jixia Academy arc with Yue Yao, without changing how Yue Yao is written in the last half of the story, making her character seem very inconsistent). Yue Qing has character development and an interesting relationship with her sister. Yi Wenjun is so much more than her misery, and the way her father is connected to Ye Yu makes her relationship with Ye Dingzhi far more compelling. Basically, the Young Brewmaster’s Adventure does a far better job of being a prequel and an interesting story than Dashing Youth.

Of course, the Young Brewmaster’s Adventure/Dashing Youth isn’t the only prequel before the events of the Blood of Youth. A lot can still happen in the 8-10 years before Lei Wujie walks into Xiao Se’s inn. The upcoming Dark River show may answer questions that the first prequel left open. I definitely have some hope for this show, knowing it will have the same director as the Blood of Youth.

Heads up, i changed my url. I used to be Feng Liu Yun Shi. Now I'm Mo Qiuyue (Mo for short).

I like Mo Qiuyue a lot better anyway. My AO3 changed to match. No, I'm not an imposter. Yes, The Burglar And The King is still up and going. And if there are any broken links (either leading to my old url or just straight up broken), please let me know. Thank you ❤️

you must be swift as the coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon  —  descendants ocs & headcanons ; mulan.

a rundown of mulan and its role in auradon & the massive descendants project. trigger warnings for death by childbirth & child abuse.

when the different disney worlds all became connected, the emperor was still in charge at the time, though it wouldn’t be long before ting-ting took the throne. he was against the isle, as was the rest of his family, who believed that shan yu, along with the rest of the deceased villains, should stay dead. he, of course, wasn’t listened to. ting-ting succeeded him soon after.

the anti-magic law as well as the legislation that had ‘significant animals’ living as humans affected both mushu and cri-kee, especially the former. mushu was given the option of either disappearing into the spirit world or staying with mulan without using any of his spirit abilities. he chose the latter and lived in a human form with mulan and shang. cri-kee joined them.

mulan and shang are still high-ranked members of the army and are seen as the faces of it, though they thankfully haven’t had to fight any real battles for many years now. they often oversee training and take on leadership roles which sometimes has them away from home for extended periods of time. during these times, if both of them are away, mulan’s parents usually look after the kids.

china and agrabah are next to each other on the large map of auradon, and as such, the families of both kingdoms became close. jasmine, mulan, and the princesses were able to bond over not doing what was expected of them and often meet up. this is why it’s easy for them to fall into an alliance that works well for them. merida is also someone they get along with, but as she lives further away, it’s harder to meet her.

jianyu is the older brother of lanying, or lonnie, as she’s most often referred to as. he’s much like his sister in that he’s athletic and clearly the child of two famous soldiers in the way he’s been trained, but he’s also very outgoing and friendly to all who meet him regardless of their background. he has a bit of a romanticized perspective of the army, having grown up with his parents being celebrated as war heroes, and so he plans to follow in their footsteps. mulan and shang have told him before that he should be prepared, but he hasn’t heeded their warnings so far. he has a high sense of justice and is always willing to help out.

unlike her older brother, lonnie isn’t as interested in the army. she respects them, especially since she grew up around the soldiers, but she doesn’t see it as the path for her. she sees her calling in sports instead. she sees that sports originating from some of the more traditional kingdoms still have some bias against women and she plans on changing that. if there is anything she’s learned from her mother and her story, it’s that women can do anything.

bowen’s existence is one that the more anti-magic leaning people aren’t entirely happy about. they were under the impression that mushu had given up anything and everything that made him magic, that he was living in his human form all the time now, so why was his toddler struggling to keep themself from breathing fire? mushu was very quick to remind them that being a magical spirit is in his genetics and that it would obviously pass down to his child. the complainers didn’t like it, but they had to retreat, knowing he has a point.

while bowen is outgoing and upbeat, always with a smile on their face, a lot of this is just a mask. they haven’t forgotten what happened in their childhood, having been too young to fight back but old enough to understand, and they tend to make themselves fit in without using their magic, but this is exhausting. they want everyone to like them, but it’s at the cost of not being themself.

meilin, just like her father, is referred to as a lucky cricket. she always says she isn’t lucky, but that she just works hard. she gets good grades, places in all competitions she’s in, and is well-mannered, at least in front of the parents. she can, however, be a bit pushy when trying to help others, which she does often. she doesn’t only give advice, she also ensures the other person takes it. it can be a bit much sometimes. also like her father, she doesn’t speak, and uses sign language to communicate. she wants to travel one day. despite being a human now, she still considers herself a cricket as she can shapeshift into one, and she often makes wooden houses for bugs and the like to live in peace.

quiyue is the eldest of all of the friends and it shows in the way she holds herself -- dignified, refined, and preparing to lead a country one day. she is the type of princess who always keeps a neutral face as to not betray her feelings to her subjects, just in case it makes her too vulnerable. she usually only smiles in the presence of her friends, and even then, it’s a small one. she feels as though she has to be seen as an unmoving pillar in order to instill confidence in her subjects, which is not the case.

as she is not the heir to the throne, xiulan rarely takes her royal responsibilities seriously. she would rather practice her sword-fighting with lonnie or go exploring with meilin. she considers mulan her biggest inspiration and aims to be just like her. ting-ting doesn’t mind the ‘less royal’ activities, knowing that it’s important to have the children enjoy their interests, but she wishes it would stop making xiulan so late to important events. she marches to the beat of her own drum, sometimes to a concerning extent. she also has a love of music, more as a hobby than anything else, and loves to play the flute in particular.

feng is the most reserved of the huang kids, taking more after his mother than his father in that regard. rather than using his physical strength like his father, he’s someone who uses his brain more than his brawn. he’s trained in combat to an extent just as his cousins are, but he would rather read and write than play sport. he has a specific interest in books and has a large collection that he keeps at home. when visiting the imperial palace, you’ll likely find him in the library. he can be particularly blunt, especially if people are disturbing his reading/work.

jingyi is the youngest cousin as well as the sweetest. she’s a lot like her mother, cheerful and energetic, but also childish at times. she loves to spend time with her family and in particular loves exploring with xiulan, though it comes with the risk of getting lost as she has a terrible sense of direction. she daydreams quite a bit, walking into walls and trees. the only time when she doesn’t let things distract her is when she’s cooking, which she has a talent for after learning from her parents since her childhood.

qiuyue is in the study club, on the archery team, debate team, and equestrian team as well as the fencing team with jianyu and lonnie. jianyu is also on the tourney team. jingyi is a cheerleader and part of the home economics club. xiulan and meilin are both on the gymnastics team. xiulan is also part of the music club while meilin is on the swim team and in the metal & woodwork club. feng is in the literature club.

jianyu is an excellent leader when it comes to sports and, if ben can’t make it to tourney practice, he usually steps in and takes over for the session.

outside of each other, they have plenty of friends. bowen in particular gets along with other students who have magic but are forced to suppress it, such as eira andersen, novae lux, and the daivari twins. meilin is also especially friendly with the swim team, and her best friend outside of xiulan would be tyler ramirez. she and atticus darling also share their love of traveling and adventure.

qiuyue eyes every kingdom with a critical eye, even her own, which sometimes has other members of royalty angry at her. she and chad don’t get along at all, for example, but she’s friends with his sister cynthia. she is also friends with lisian white, eirlys llyr, and olathe nedakh.

over on the isle of the lost, shan yu was resurrected and imprisoned there along with all of the other villains. his hun army were imprisoned alongside him and, as it stands, he has the largest amount of troops on the isle. in the isle’s early days, they came to blows with rourke’s mercenaries, but with the latter no longer completely supporting rourke and no longer having a leader to rally behind, they were thoroughly defeated. the hun army took over the land they were staying in and expanded, the hun camp taking up a decent amount of ground in a hillside area a ten minute walk from town.

zihan & zixuan are twins conceived and born on the isle, but as their mother’s body wasn’t prepared for the birth of two children, she passed away shortly after their birth, though not before naming them. their surname ‘fang’ is their mother’s surname instead of their father’s.

the twins were raised to be the greatest warriors the isle had ever seen, but they were pushed to and beyond their limits. shan yu was determined to make them the best, and that required tough training. he sees his sons as tools, and tools are made to be used. they have the wounds and scars to show for it, most of them inflicted by their father.

as they grew up, it became clear that the twins were very different people. zihan is full of anger at the situation they are in and takes it out on inanimate objects most of the time, though he isn’t above snapping at people who cross him on a bad day. he’s always ready for a spar or fight if someone requests it and he keeps his sword on his person at all times. he tries to get a rise out of zixuan a lot and fails every time, so it sometimes looks like he hates his younger twin, but the opposite is true. he’s actually quite protective of zixuan in secret, though zixuan can take care of himself.

zixuan can clash his sword against the best of them, but he prefers not to. he’s more of a pacifist, much to his father’s annoyance, and would rather solve problems via talking rather than fighting. that isn’t always possible on the isle, of course, so he knows how to hold his own. it is incredibly rare for him to lose his temper, perfectly balanced, focused, and disciplined. from a young age he has had an interest in plants despite them being difficult to grow on the isle, but he managed it with help from the older huns. he sells tea leaves and the like to others, but he’s also charitable and will invite someone in for a cup of tea for free if he feels they need it.

the twins attend serpent prep. zihan makes it his mission to fight the gaston twins and their cronies as much as possible while zixuan has quite a few friends due to his kind nature.

zihan will practice sword-fighting with uma’s crew sometimes. he isn’t part of their crew, but he has a respect for them and always has fun sparring with them.

while the twins don’t have any other siblings (that they’re aware of, you never quite know on the isle), zixuan has taken in tansy bellwether as a sort of pseudo-sibling, aware that she isn’t very well-liked and makes herself a target. it took a while for her to open up to him, and zihan was annoyed at first, but now the three of them are usually together.

when ben invite the four over to auradon, the lis and huangs are cautious, but also relieved that none of the children are shan yu’s. they are under the impression that the four are some of the only children there, not imagining that shan yu has children in the first place, unaware of what really happens on the isle. jianyu is accepting but initially cautious, feeling better about it after lonnie becomes friends with them. he also ends up respecting jay a great deal. bowen is a little freaked out and avoids them while meilin doesn’t have much of an opinion herself. the huangs all have varying reactions, from keeping an eye on them from a distance (qiuyue), leaving them be (xiulan & feng), and actively waving to them in the corridors (jingyi).

zihan is angry at not being chosen and had to go take it out on a few trees before calming down with some of zixuan’s tea, ranting that they should all be allowed off the isle considering the conditions. zixuan is more understanding of ben’s position and is willing to wait for developments.

Cheng Yu’s date

One day, Feng Jiu and Cheng Yu we’re taking Gun Gun out to Qingqiu. The women were taking time for themselves. Gun Gun was allowed to tag along because he was cute and because he complained he is spending less time with his Mother ever since they returned to the fairy realm. (Blame his dad)

Cheng Yu was complaining about Lian Song for continuously bothering her.

Feng Jiu giggled. “You keep complaining, but you like his attention, don’t you?”

Cheng Yu snapped back, “Nonsense! Thanks to him, no other immortal dares to ask me out. They think we are an inevitable couple. Ridiculous!”

Feng Jiu hummed. “What if I set you up on a date with one of my friends? It doesn’t have to go anywhere, but at least you get to broaden your social circle.”

Cheng Yu snapped her fan. “Brilliant. But how will we keep Lian Song from interfering?”

Feng Jiu blithely tossed her hand, “we can schedule the date for when he is playing chess with Dijun. I’ll stay at home and extend his stay so you can enjoy your date.”

Chang Yu smiled widely. “好！ Feng Jiu, you are a true Friend!”

Feng Jiu: Thanks! But any idea what kind of guy you like to meet?

Cheng Yu: um, any recommendations?

Feng Jiu: well, there’s Hongbo. He is a good cook and it can be a picnic date. There’s Qiuyu. Amazing dancer! Or Zikang. He’s one of my schoolmates. You two can practise duelling and give each other pointers.

Gun Gun had been listening before piping up, “What about Uncle Ming from the bookshop. He knows all the gossip. It’s fun to talk to him.”

Feng Jiu gently told her Son. “Uncle Ming is a mortal, Ali. He is not a good match for an immortal like Cheng Yu.”

“Oh.” Gun Gun frowned.

Feng Jiu: speaking of gossips, we can rule out Si Ming and Zhe Yan, but what about Zhen Bang, one of the sky lord’s many sons. I know him through my aunt and he is really sweet. The best part is he and Lian Song don’t really interact.

And so they went on.

When they got back home, Feng Jiu was still debating about whether they should include her Husband in on this plan.

On one hand, he was easily jealous and Lian Song’s Best Friend.

On the other hand, he always seems to know when she is planning something and likes to meddle.

Gun Gun settled the matter when he ran into his father’s arms.

Dong Hua carried his Son. “How was Qingqiu?”

Gun Gun: beautiful. I got to chase butterflies while Mother and Cheng Yu talked about boys.

Feng Jiu sweatdropped. Gun Gun was too blunt!

Dong Hua looked at his nervous Wife. “Oh?”

Feng Jiu: don’t look at me like that. I’m trying to set Cheng Yu up with someone. Lian Song has chased away all other male immortals from her.

Gun Gun: Mother has so many male friends in the immortal world. But that is to be expected. She had many male friends in the mortal world as well.

Gun Gun felt his father’s arm tighten around him. “Is that so?”

Gun Gun nodded. Putting the image of his Wife raising a child alone, with men barging into her home, all the while Dong Hua was poisoned and searching desperately for his Wife.

Feng Jiu said anxiously, “please don’t interfere with Cheng Yu’s date. And please don’t tell Lian Song.”

Dong Hua: don’t worry. I enjoy teasing Lian Song. It will be fun to see him fret about Cheng Yu going on dates.

Feng Jiu sighed in relief. “太好了.”

Dong Hua walked back inside. “Now Gun Gun, can you tell me more about your mother’s friends?”

Feng Jiu felt worry rising again. “Eh! Don’t get jealous again! They are just friends!”

But Gun Gun happily told his father what activities Feng Jiu did with her male friends, as well as their names.

“Well, there is Hongbo. Mother likes his picnic food.”

....

The next time Lian Song came over to play a game of chess, he asked Dong Hua why he had been so active recently, giving some immortals a frightful time as they catered to the emperor.

Dong Hua held up a chess piece. “Oh, I was merely visiting my wife’s friends.”

Lian Song laughed. “Are you so easily jealous? You need to learn tolerance.”

Dong Hua placed the chess piece down. “You lose.”

Meanwhile Feng Jiu was cooking a feast for her Husband and his guest.

As expected, Dong Hua intimidated all her friends so thoroughly that when Feng Jiu introduced Cheng Yu, they preferred to spend alone time with Cheng Yu and exclude her.

It would have offended her had she not known the cause.

Oh well, at least Cheng Yu got her dates.

And Dong Hua got the last laugh since at the next game, Lian Song was ranting about how popular Cheng Yu was with the boys.

Does mei qingyue(?) Have anyone he likes in particular? And what are his thoughts o. Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe?

Hmmmm he likes his second in command! I haven’t done much of anything on him, but his name is Chen Feng, and he’s dealt with so much of Qiuyue’s bullshit for so long he’s grown immune to it, and Qiuyue trusts him with his life.He only knows of them distantly! His sect is a.... ways off from all of that messy business and he’d like to keep it that way lmao. If he were to meet them, he definitely would get along with SQQ and would have a kind of distant respect for LBH

3 Dec 2020

Dujiangyan Zhongshuge-X+Living bookstore interior

Architects: X+LIVING

Location: Dujiangyan, Sichuan, south western China – just north west of Chengdu

Images by Feng Shao

The famous writer Yu Qiuyu once wrote: Its water is infiltrating and extending; its civilization is a kind of spiritual life. The city is called Dujiangyan, located in south west of China.

In the city with over a thousand years of history, the designer has injected new vitality into this historical and cultural city with creating a paradise for bookworms, that is, the Dujiangyan Zhongshuge bookstore.

Surprise encounters with Fairyland

Push the glass curtain door open, the unique C-shape bookshelves with a natural walnut color will be in front of your eyes. The seemingly irregular sequence builds the intimacy of the space and becomes a highlight in the front hall. The inspiration exactly comes from gray tile with a historical sense.

The unique and lively arc shape blazes a new trail and subtly divides the forum area. Walking through under the bookshelf is like walking alongside an outdoor eave, or stepping into a rolling mountain. Open a book, and you will be embraced into the atmosphere instantly. Wandering among the books, it seems that time also slows down with steps moving forward.

Stepping into the reading space, one could perceive the scenery images different from traditional bookstores and the profound cultural heritage. The bookshelves extend from the space to the adjacent columns, and ingeniously catch the readers’ curiosity and guide their route.

The endless bamboo forest

Walking through the winding way between bookshelf wall, the children’s reading area is suddenly exposed. Random and irregular green bamboo was ‘transformed’ into bookshelves in a creative way. The designer also decorates it with representative element of Sichuan, the lovely panda.

The panda illustration hanging on the bookshelves like pandas climbing on high branches, creating the beautiful artistic conception and natural vitality. Looking downward, the colorful cushions are stacked like hills, creating a lovely and dreamy reading atmosphere for children. The cushions can also be separated for many people to use, which also provides comfort for children to sit on the ground and relax.

Greens Trees and Lakes

In the Central Literature District, the designer uses the mirror ceiling to visually expand spatial ductility and create an open and high feeling. The bookshelf wall inspired from the magnificent Dujiangyan dam spreads upward all the way, like a super city wall built with historical culture, which serves as a functional carrier for books.

With the effect of black tiles flooring, the book tables seems like boats quietly mooring on the lake. It paddles and floats between the bookshelf wall. Any glimpse at the space will enjoy a visual feast. The changes of the architectural structure in the walking also reflect the dynamic aesthetics of climate changes, whether it’s rainy, windy or foggy. It seems that the beautiful scenery of Dujiangyan is vividly presented in the space.

Through the door holes on the bookshelf wall, different functional areas are all under the eyesight, enrich the visual experiences of readers. Take a novel book you love. Come to the comfortable cafe and order a cup of coffee. Quietly embrace the mellow art atmosphere. Whether you stay for an afternoon or just drop by, you can appreciate the unique spiritual core of Zhongshuge, namely, giving all readers a very ornamental space, so as to produce ideological inspiration and create value.

When you go up the stairs, the bookshelves beside you offer a variety of books at accessible distance. Other places where people could not reach are decorated with book pattern film, you can still feel the majestic momentum of the space. By creating end scenery and using the technique of architecture, the designer moves the magnificent spirit of mountains and rivers into the indoor space, presents readers with elegant and powerful artistic landscape, and also expresses the awe to nature.

Here, we see a city. We listen to the dialogue between culture and wisdom, interpret the cultural thoughts condensed under the historical context, experience the ancient feelings with a poetic flavor, and realize the dream picture hidden in mind. Whether it is to use tile technology to depict anctient people’s wisdom in the reading area, or display the innocent happiness of encountering the bamboo sea in the children’s reading area, or portray the natural scenery in the literary area, they all aim to present a perfect destination for soul with the harmonious coexistence of ideal livability and natural ecology.
