So I merely went to take a glance

and she has (obviously) got the hots for her future shizun

I AM DYING (this is the same person who forcefully recruits him because of his pretty face (apparently) in past the life, so how dare she be scared of him now? From the curse she herself casted?)

Man of few words indeed

Love of the Divine Tree 仙台有树 will start releasing February 7th! It’s directed by Director Yin Tao, and, unsurprisingly because of that, much of the cast is from The Blood of Youth!

More surprisingly, Zhou Munan, the author of the novels that The Blood of Youth and its prequels are based off of, reblogged the Love of the Divine Tree trailer despite him not appearing to be involved in the project itself. It seems he’s looking forward to seeing it, which is probably a good sign 😸

ALSO was it just me, or they established their household close to the Reincarnation Tree? #cryingfor500years

Anyway, this was beautiful and gorgeous and I am going to miss these two crazy kids.

That ending is AMAZING!!!

Is that demon child destroyer of worlds bringer of doom BABYWEARING?! I have ascended!

But joking aside, I love that even in household stuff they are even but also ridiculous and petty and amazing.

(a) The master-disciple swap is 100% a kink thing for them and (b) he is totally promising to fuck her into next week as "punishment" and give her a baby and she's going game on ahahahaha

She is 100% challenging him on purpose, we all know it ahahah.

And off the kids run to play and the two world saving powerhouses are left grinning and chilling and running the most mundane household ever, with their swords literally shown gathering dust.

AAAAAAA This drama was a delight from beginning to end and I adore it.

Wang Chuan Feng Hua Lu (忘川风华录) Masterpost

Wang Chuan Feng Hua Lu (忘川风华录) is a Vocal synth (Vocaloid and SynthV) music project. It consists of songs themed around different figures throughout Chinese history. The project is a collaboration between different artists and creatives, with music and videos featuring prominent traditional Chinese elements. The project's title translates to "The Records of Magnificence of the Wangchuan" - In Chinese mythology, "Wangchuan" (or River of Forgetting) is a river in the Underworld that can rid one of their past life's memories, similar to the river Lethe.

A mobile game adaptation has also been developed by NetEast. Unfortunately, I haven't played it so I can't give much insight on it. However, I assume that its premise is similar to that of the idea behind the project as a whole: all these historical figures meeting each other in the Underworld after they died. Maybe.

You can find all the songs on Bilibili. The official Weibo can be found here. The game's website, which includes all characters appearing so far in the game, can be found here, and its Weibo can be found here.

(If you prefer YouTube, I've also put together a handy playlist. Please know that most of these videos are reposts though, so please watch the original Bilibili MVs if you can!)

This blog is where I will be posting everything I feel like I need to say about the songs in this project. A lot of it is lifted from my Twitter account but will be in much more detail. Note that I probably won't touch collab songs, or songs that don't focus solely on the project's own characters.

Disclaimer: I do not speak Chinese, nor am I an expert on Chinese history. Therefore, I cannot reliably translate the lyrics to these songs, nor my words should be taken as gospel. I am merely a nerd gushing about my hyperfixation.

Essentially, the problem is that Mu Qingge's affection toward Su Yishui doesn't address his personal issues.

Yeah, I have to disagree, especially after she stubbornly dragged him out of the death's door multiple times within the series. It's true that their initial relationship was unbalanced, but the show actually took great care in putting the two mains in the other's shoes repeatedly, and making them learn things about the other they had previously not known.

When Su Yishui cries, asking why she won't trust him, she doesn't give him an answer.

Because she literally can't give him an answer due to magic shenanigans.

If Mu Qingge did not appear in Su Yishui's life, he very well could be better off.

This is directly contradicted by the canon material. Mu Qingge looked into the future and saw that he was going to have both his body and spirit destroyed as a result of being possessed by the Spirit Spring. By stepping in to save him, she literally defied fate and rewrote his future.

Why Mu Qingge's love for Su Yishui is suffocating

Previously, I wrote about Su Yishui's self-worth and mentioned how Mu Qingge's care for him ended up intensifying his self-hatred.

This point bothered me a bit when I thought about it. After reading some thoughtful character discussions on rednote, I think I can finally explain why.

Mu Qingge often does things that look like acts of love, but lack emotional depth. She makes food for Su Yishui, but doesn't learn what kind of food he likes/dislikes. She observes that he gets angry when his appearance is complimented, but she never questions why. She takes him out to crowded places to have fun, but in reality he hates crowds. Su Yishui accomodates for her preferences constantly, but Mu Qingge does not do the same for him. It's no wonder that the amnesiac Shui questions if she really loves him or not.

Essentially, the problem is that Mu Qingge's affection toward Su Yishui doesn't address his personal issues. Sure, her company is much more enjoyable compared to everything else he's experienced, but she doesn't take the time to truly understand him or his past.

To be fair, Su Yishui is very reticent about sharing anything personal. When Mu Qingge asks him to tell her about who he used to be and who he wants to become, he deliberately skips to the latter. She mostly learns about his past from others or by entering his consciousness. Still, there are times where it's obvious she needs to address the events of the past, but she brushes over them to focus on the future instead.

I don't think it's inherently wrong of her to be more future-oriented, but when dealing with Su Yishui, it ends up making her look insensitive. He has a hard time expressing it because of trauma, but what he really wants is closure and emotional affirmation. At his core, he's still a child begging not to be abandoned, and he hasn't been able to fully move on.

The most damaging thing is that Mu Qingge doesn't trust Su Yishui and forces her own decisions onto him. From the start, she tricks him into becoming her disciple instead of trying to convince him through conversation. She refuses to believe he can suppress the Spirit Spring and locks him away so she can handle everything on her own. When Su Yishui cries, asking why she won't trust him, she doesn't give him an answer. This moment is such a painful blow that even 20 years later, Su Yishui's psyche is still trapped in it. She tells him her death is not his fault, but she never apologizes for the emotional betrayal she put him through.

Mu Qingge is really not much different from Su Yishui's abusive parents in the sense that their relationship is imbalanced. She is the one in control, and he is subject to her will. The difference is that her control comes in the guise of love, believing that she's just trying to do what's best for him. This isn't just a master-disciple thing either; Xue Ranran also repeatedly forces Su Yishui to accept her decisions.

Just look at their final wishes for each other to prove this point. When Mu Qingge dies in his place, she prevents him from telling the truth and asks him to complete her task, which he is burdened by for decades after. In contrast, when Su Yishui leaves Mount Wester alone on a suicide mission, he quietly leaves a letter for Ranran hoping that she will be free as the wind.

I talked previously about how Su Yishui's self-worth became defined by his relation to Mu Qingge and whether he could protect her or not. By the end of the show, he gains enough sense of self-worth to indulge in his personal happiness, but the basis of it remains unchanged: he still values himself in relation to Mu Qingge.

Why not let him find value in just being himself? We almost reach something like this in the amnesia arc, where Ranran continues to love him despite him forgetting his love for her. But when he learns that Ranran is Mu Qingge and gets angry with her, who is the one who suggests cutting off their relationship? It's Mu Qingge. Even at this point, she still doesn't apologize for lying to him, and lectures him instead.

To be clear, I believe that Mu Qingge really does love Su Yishui, and this is not a case of intentional manipulation. However, her style of expressing love fails to address some of his personal issues, and even feeds into his insecurities about being "someone of value" to her. He struggles to be someone worthy of her love. As a result, his relationship with her has a layer of unhealthy dependency that neither of them ever address.

If Mu Qingge did not appear in Su Yishui's life, he very well could be better off. He already had plans to suppress the Spirit Spring and take control of his own life well before meeting Mu Qingge. Who can say for sure if he would have been demonized without Mu Qingge's intervention? It's worth thinking about.
