This is how I feel whenever I’m reading a new Chloe Gong book

Chloe Gong, stepping up to the microphone: I have written a man

The Secret Shanghai fandom, waiting with bated breath:

Chloe Gong: And he is pathetic

The Secret Shanghai fandom: *raucous cheers*

[chaoticmiserablelover]

I love reading about pathetic men who fall under the damsel in distress trope and their "friend," who is soft and kind to them when they are sick or hurt.

why is it so hard to get over your comfort couples like they're literally fictional

[skepticalcatfrog]

One of the reasons why I love Roma so much is because it would've been so easy for him to just be the typical dark-haired, brooding, mean, "hates everyone but her" YA male love interest. But he ISN'T. Roma is so unabashedly full of love for all of the people in his life (including people who aren't his love interest) and that feels SO RARE in books that are coming out now. I love him.

I've finally finished foul lady fortune and foul heart hunstmen (book slump of 2 & 1/2 years)

Alisa is my favourite thing to come out of the universe.

they're all my babies

need a Celia and Oliver novella

PHOEBE'S RELATIONSHIP WITH HER MOTHER OCCUPIES MY MINDDDD

worldbuilding is fantastic I have known this since I read these violent delights.

Marshall and Orions little tryst was so unexpected YET SO ON BRAND IM OBSESSED

Rosalind telling Orions father shit was one of my favourite moments like HE JOINED A FACTION RIVALING HIS BROTHERS TO HELP YOU.

I love how none of them have healthy parental relationships i feel so seen.

Celia and Alisas sisterly relationship is the best thing ever.

I love how when Rosalind spotted Alisa at Seagreen there was an immediate understanding of trust.

Phoebe being Priest was foreshadowed throughout foul lady fortune and I feel so dumb for not seeing it (I could go into this)

Phoebe Hong I have never felt more seen by a character.

Orion and Rosalind have left me pacing my room, screaming acting like a complete maniac throughout the dualogy and they will never not occupy my mind.

Chloe gong is probably one of the best authors whose work I've read she's so good at foreshadowing and weaving plot twists I could ramble on and on.

The atmosphere of the duologies is so perfect, she captures the bustling city, political climate and society of the place at the time PEFECTLY.

I don't think I'll ever get over the secret shanghai universe it'll forever have a special place in my heart. I've loved this book series and these characters since I was like 14 and i BEG FOR A SPECIAL EDITION TO BE RELEASED IN SOUTH AFRICA OMF

for you forgetful sss fans [ me ]

[thebenediktmontagov]

i find the idea of the flf gang (except for celia rosalind and alisa) not knowing that marshall was once dead EXTREMELY funny. just him casually mentioning like “yeah when i was dead….” and them “WHEN YOU WERE WHAT”

[hazellevessque]

“I can excuse murdering my mom, but I draw the line at murdering my best friend.”

-Roma Montagov, at some point

[pockyyasii]

currently thinking about the line from romeo and juliet “what's in a name? that which we call a rose, by any other word would smell as sweet.” and janie's actual name being rosalind

and orion not giving a shit about rosalind or janie because when he looses his memories he doesn't know rosalind's name and she is just someone whom he knew he loved and he didn't a name to know that 🥹

[acting-pterygii]

they’re my roman empire.

[dorianlovesliterature]

I feel like we as a fandom under appreciate the fact that Marshall and Juliette have scheduled gossip sessions

[duke-is-the-shit]

True love is actually when Benedikt wasn’t able to eat anything because it wasn’t made by Marshall

[writergracethepanda]

Marshall: Don't joke about murder. I was murdered once and it offends me.

[lurkingsomewhereinsecretshanghai]
