Serendipity. 10 (hidden gem)

Story: 10 ❤️

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10 ❤️

Comparable to: ?

Honestly been in a semi drought of ‘damn that was an excellent drama’. To my surprise this one blew me away. It my be because this was so underrated and so original. The storyline is a bit complicated at first, but as it unravels throughout this short drama, (I actually wish there was more episodes it was that good), its easy to figure out the mechanics on how the world works. The entire cast is really amazing considering they have many different characters to portray and most of them are newcomers. I thought they all did a brilliant job. I especially loved the chemistry of the main leads who were just oofing amazing together. Oh a little side note, the main male lead, Sky Li sort of reminded me of Taec Yeon a bit. Overall this is definitely a must watch for romance fantasy lovers, I will definitely be watching it again in the future too. Yes it’s that good.

It's Xunyang day! Missed it last year so I wanted to step up a little this time ^^ Wen Xun is @wifiwuxians sunshine boy as always ♡

a league of nobleman | when you see your husband’s boyfriend in court

[shijiujun]

When Lan Jue’s existing boyfriend and new boyfriend finally start getting along with one another (more like Mo Wen finally caring about Zhang Ping)

BUT ALSO MO WEN COULD HAVE GIVEN HALF HIS BREAD TO ZHANG PING? AND ZHANG PING COULD HAVE SPLIT IT TOO?

[chaoticmiraclezombie]

total homiesexual behaviour from these two. an excellent performance, if you will

lan jue: "why are you looking at me like that, bro? gonna make me think we're really gay or smth"

wang yan: "we are."

lan jue: "oh no, shulin! i can explain!"

shulin: "can you really?"

lan jue: "oh, fuck"

*in spain but the s is silent and the rest is amplified*

"You’re risking your life, I’m willing to risk mine with you."

These two are driving me insane enough to write fic, please send help.

27 for the romantic confession dialogue prompts, pairing if your choice :3

Mon Veraaaa ﾟヽ(o♡o)/ Thank you for the prompt! I think I will go for Mowen x Lan Jue (with a h i n t of mowen x lan jue x zhang ping) :) It's been a hot minute since I wrote a fic,s o o...

No. 27: “i feel your absence in everything that i do alone, in every place i go without you.”

~*~*~

There's a certain beauty that dances on Peizhi's brow when the moon is bright enough to skim the rims of their drinking cups. As if some deity from above would like to linger on him for a just moment more, sighing for a heart's beat longer.

Mowen can empathise.

It's now deep enough into the night hours that he should probably call it quits and make his way home. In a carriage, of course, he knows better than to drag his feet, stumbling halfway across the city to his own manor.

"When do you leave for Yiping?" Mowen asks, darting his eyes over to Peizhi, feeling his traitorous heart kick a half-beat at the smile that curls on his lips.

"In a fortnight."

"He'll be happy to see you," Mowen tries around the clicking of his throat. I know I would be, he doesn't say.

Peizhi's laugh is deep and melodious in the night air between them. Tinged with the sweetness of the wine, Mowen indulges in the sound. Allows himself to be warmed by the timbre even as he has to look away.

"Will you miss me?" He teases gently, rolling the wine cup between his fingers. "Because I will."

When he doesn't receive an immediate answer, he swallows tightly. Is this the moment Peizhi feels like he has toed a line? Before, Mowen had accepted that between them, there was never a need to quantify this ephemeral thing between them, never had a cause or reason to feel as if he needed an assurance.

But since he'd come back from the South, since the incident...

In his quiet moments, Mowen sometimes wonders what would have happened if Peizhi had loved Gu Qingzhang just that bit more. Just that bit more that it was enough to close his eyes to what he had planned.

(In those same moments, Mowen imagines a reality where Peizhi would love him with even a fraction of how much he loves his Shulin)

Just when Mowen begins to thread through those first syllables to deflect, to play his question off as a joke, Peizhi speaks.

“I feel your absence in everything that I do alone, in every place I go without you.” And that, in all its midnight sincerities, has Mowen breathless, eyes wide and on Peizhi as he climbs to his feet, coming to crouch in front of him.

Warm eyes search his own and Mowen is speechless. The air rushes out of his lungs in an exhale as he lifts a hand to touch the corner of Peizhi's smile.

"You..."

"Me?"

Mowen shakes his head, pursing his lips tightly in a failing effort to hide a smile of his own. "Incorrigible."

"But I'm not a liar," Peizhi says, his hand cupping Mowen's jaw. "Not to you. Never to you."

Mowen levels him with a look. "Only for good reasons!" Peizhi sputters, embarrassment colouring his cheeks a faint pink that dances delightfully all the way to the tips of his ears.

Pulling him closer, Mowen buries his face to a shoulder, sighing deeply. "I'll miss you when you're not here."

"I know you will," Peizhi's voice is a soothing rumble to his cheek. Clever fingers move to settle at his nape. "Which is why I've asked for special dispensation for you to come with me."

That has Mowen pulling back, lips parted in shock. "Peizhi!"

"Giving credit where credit is due, Zhang Ping helped!" He answers, laughter sneaking in between each word when Mowen begins to shake him by the shoulders. "He helped a lot!"

Groaning, he folds himself back against Peizhi's body, shaking with the laughter of his own. "What am I going to do with the two of you?"

"Well," Peizhi hums, pressing their cheeks together. "Just know that we will always feel your absence when you're away from us."

Group E Round 1

[image ID: the first image is of 3 Chinese characters, Wen Yan, Mo Xiao, and Hai Die. all 3 have long black hair, pulled back from their faces in various styles. Wen Yan's is partially in a bun and partially loose down his back. his hanfu is black. Mo Xiao's hair also appears to be bunned and partially loose. his hanfu is dark blue. Hai Die's hair is fully up, and her hanfu is pink and red with green trim. she also wears a brown and blue weaved vest. the second image is of Libby Day, a white woman with short blond hair, wearing a green cap and a gray leather jacket. end ID]

The Nigh Furies

They are the three loyal bodyguards to the main character. They show up when you need them most and then blend away into the night. The main dude would have been so dead without them. When the main guy is being hunted, the bad guy tries to kill them and eventually Wen Yan sacrifices himself for the others. Mo Xiao and Hai Die have a little bit of a thing ;) here is a clip: https://youtu.be/rSHKo9o98fQ 

Libby Day

She's the sole survivor of a mass murder for which her brother was blamed, and she uses her fame to get money to put meals on the table, until one such money-seeking job gets her to start thinking about the truth of what really happened all those years ago. Literally the bitterest bitch, she's so mean and spiteful, I love her so much <3. I feel like Libby's the least known of the Gillian Flynn main character girlies because the movie adaptation was neither popular nor all that good (compared to Sharp Objects and Gone Girl), so I'm really hopeful that one day people will appreciate her :)

[alipeeps]

Zhu Yan, having a heart to heart with Wen Xiao: Has a flashback to Wen Xiao's master telling him she believes one day he will meet the person who makes him want to live

Show: Immediately cuts to an extended scene of Zhuo Yichen doing elegant, acrobatic martial arts in slow-mo

Me:

[minsarasarahair]

I do love the princess-like fan user stereotype characters in Danmei

This is only based on what I know/read so far so I'll definitely miss other characters, okay? From right to left > From goodest boys to someone morally questionable

Shi Qingxuan (Tian Guan Ci Fu) - Supporting character, Wind God, Younger Brother, Genderfluid, Righteous, Sheltered

Yan Zhengming (Liu Yao) - Gong, Spoiled, Peacock, Cultivator with great potential but Lazy, Dashixiong/Eldest Disciple, Sect Leader

Shi Qingxuan (SVSSS) - Shou, Transmigrator, Peak Lord, Look cold outside but panicking in his mind, Anti, Stallion novel reader, Use humor as he face horror situation, Obsessed in a fictional character, Teacher

Xie Jinglan (Du Zhu You Bing) - Gong, Scholar, Governor, Schemer, Tsundere, Bookworm, Clean freak, Neglected, Can martial arts

Shen Zechuan (Qiang Jin Jiu) - Shou, Schemer, Cunning, Avenger, Prince, Emperor, Wrongly Accused, Very Pretty, Can Be Ruthless, Look like he can't fight but actually know martial arts and can use swords, Wife

Nie Huaisang (Mo Dao Zu Shi) - Supporting character, Avenger, Schemer, Artist, Sect Leader, Younger Brother, Cunning, Pretends he don't know anything or a coward but actually know a lot

Lou Zhu (You Yao) - Gong, Transmigrator, Merchant, Landlord, Emperor's henchman, Rich, Schemer, Cunning, Drunkard, Has a carefree lazy facade but actually intimidating, Don't know any martial arts, Yearner

Wen Kexing (Tian Ya Ke) - Gong, Schemer, Mostly use his fan in Word of Honor Cdrama but I believe TYK Wen Kexing is all-around who can use different weapons even if he probably prefer barehands so some of TYK official arts illustrated him using fan, Malewife, Avenger, Cannibal, Leader of Exiled Murderers, Former Brothel Regular Costumer

[fixaidea]

So here's the thing: I don't usually engage with or care about top/bottom discourse EXCEPT when I think it's funny, sooo...

Let's do some Science and examine Pingxie in a Very Serious Manner.

To do this, first let's take a look at some data gathered from all the danmei novels and shows I know (relevant for calibration you know, since they have actual canon top/bottom dynamics.)

SVSSS

Shen Qingqiu - Since his cause of death wasn't starvation we can assume - well, at least hope - that he can make instant noodles, if nothing else, but he will absolutely avoid having to cook if he can help it.

Luo Binghe - As the Protagonist he of course has to be The Bestest at everything (...except sex, apparently) and it's mentioned that both Bingge and Bingmei use their culinary skills to woo the people they want to sleep with. He's also the top, even though everyone involved would be better off if he wasn't.

MDZS

Lan Wangji - Becomes a pretty decent cook, as per the extras. Prefers to top.

Wei Wuxian - It's not like he's incompetent, he doesn't burn or undercook the food, it's just that his taste is so extreme that his dishes are basically inedible to anyone else.

TGCF

Hua Cheng - No special talent for cooking, but at least he's not actively dangerous. There's no on-page sex scene in the novel, but it's made obvious that he tops.

Xie Lian - Biohazard. Weapons-grade culinary anti-talent. Gastronomy's answer to Vogon poetry.

Golden Stage

Ulike in most of the other novels on the list, food doesn't really have much symbolic meaning and not much is said about either Fu Shen's or Yan Xiaohan's cooking skills, exept for a brief mention of Fu Shen pickling eggs to pass the time. This is a rare couple that canonically switches.

Guardian

Zhao Yunlan - This man considers instant noodles cooked with coffee an okay way to surprise a boyfriend. He really wouldn't mind topping, which he keeps lamenting throughout the book, but he's paired with Shen Wei who might just have the strongest set preference out of everyone on this list.

Shen Wei - Likes to dote on Zhao Yunlan by cooking for him and is genuinely very good at it.

Word of Honor (mind, I have only watched the show here)

Zhou Zishou - Can keep himself alive, but left to his own devices would probably make due with charred-and-yet-undercooked fish or something.

Wen Kexing - A competent cook. While obviously not detailed in the drama I looked it up (or asked someone, I can't remember) and he's the top here.

Erha

Chu Wanning - Perfected exactly one (1) dish, is rather... unfortunate otherwise. You could not pay this man to top.

Mo Ran - Excellent cook. Actually worked in a kitchen at one point in his life, giving and receiving food is basically his main love-language.

Now that we have examined these canon couples and have drawn all the relevant conclusions, let's apply what we learned to our non-danmei, might-as-well-be-canon-but-isn't ship.

Wu Xie - Can cook just fine both in the novel and the drama-verse even if it doesn't come up too often. In the first season he cooks up a pretty decent feast for his friends and in the Yucun books he helps come up with the dishes they would serve in their restaurant.

Zhang Qiling - The entire Thing of this poor sod as a character is that he knows how to survive but not how to live. Taking the time to prepare nice meals or cook anything beyond basic sustenance just... doesn't fit that picture.

So.

I rest my case.

[accio-victuuri]

wait.. i’m literally on here or weibo almost 24/7 ( as you can tell lol ) but I feel like i missed something. i’m seeing clowning related to xz’s photos and how it looks like he is a groom and it’s a wedding photoshoot. the place is also famous for wedding shoots ( allegedly, idk. i’m not from there ) so turtles are imagining again. lol. freakin coincidence that wyb’s GRA photoshoot was done at a wedding shop. plus the “wedding outfits” for weibo night. which is all clowning and galaxy braining.🌌

now, we’re joking around, like where’s yibo? he should be taking photos with his partner.

then i see comments that there is this one song WYB recently listened to. meaning, as recent as when XZ flew to singapore which is called 超人不会飞 (superman can’t fly) by Jay Chou. i know WYB and everyone else is a big fan of Jay Chou but the clowning comes from the timing of when he listened to it. let me get to that first.

here is the song if you wanna listen to it. 🎶

turtles are interpreting it as WYB longing to “fly” to where XZ is and be with him but he can’t because of all his work commitments. he wants to take a breather. thinking about what his life is and the constraints, and at times like this, when they spent days in Beijing, but now they have to be apart, it affects him even more.

however when i read the lyrics, it could also be because he can relate to what jay chou is singing about. here’s the english translation i found here. i have bolded the ones i felt like WYB relates too. literally no need for explanation. just read it. It fits with his status in life so much that it’s almost scary.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with how cpfs are relating this to cpn cause that’s just how it is. But sometimes, there are other reasons why they do what they do.

SO MY CONFUSION COMES FROM HOW THE HELL DO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT HE RECENTLY LISTENED TO. I can’t seem to dig up how or maybe it’s something we don’t talk about. I have never experienced this kind of tidbit related to them before so I wanna know the source. Or is this like the gaming cpn where certain people know and they will not divulge the boy’s account for privacy? if anyone knows, feel free to comment. If i find out in the future, I will share.
