#drama: the double

[diamantdog]

i've only watched up to episode 8, but i just saw the clip from the latest one where jiang ruoyao slaps the 4th sister and, girl!? ruoyao!? pls lol! she's directing all her anger to the wrong people. but ig it's in line with her immature personality.

[diamantdog]

to follow up on the first reply: “perfect match”, coming in 2025, featuring wang xingyue (xiao heng/duke su), liu xiening (jiang ruoyao), liang yongqi (shen yurong), zhao qing (situ jiuyue) & xiao heng’s subordinate is in this too

Jiang Li (the real one) was robbed of many things before she died, but I was thinking, if her mom really did just died of an illness and stepmom wasn't murderous and evil, it would have been so nice for the three Jiang sisters to grow up together as friends: Ruoyao, Li, and Yue. Ruoyao would have been fine if she didn't grow up so wholly under the control of her evil mother and Aunt Hu was so nice!

Totally different genre though, three sisters who are best friends trying to find the right husbands would be a very different story.

okay but it’s very character for shen yurong to think of himself as alpha when he is actually omega 😂

bl actors do this challenge

Ah yes, Indian-Canadian Boy, accompanied by a blond dumb oblivious Canadian best friend who usually tags along everywhere they go, in couple with a competitive second place. Wait a minute…

Can't believe alenoah can take both mkulia and rajbow shenanigans

infinitely funny that wilson turned vegetarian while house was in prison to show that he’s moving on with his life and is capable of making personal changes that don’t revolve around his boybestfriend situationship but then the MINUTE they reunite he’s like “let’s get dinner! I’m craving MEAT 😋😋’. what kind of symbolism is this. I’m going to say a slur

Chinese Beauty Couches 美人榻 (Měirén tà) /Concubine Chaise Lounges 贵妃榻 (Guìfēi tà)

Since their origination in Tang Dynasty, these day beds were popular among aristocratic women of China. In costume dramas you often see scenes of noble ladies taking quite aesthetic naps on them, reading books, fanning themselves etc. There are several types.

I have an ongoing collection of such scenes from dramas lol something about them is quite alluring but ALSO funny to me at the same time 🤣 This post will be continuously updating till I reach the tumblr image limit (30), let's see how long that will take!

Or one can sprawl on the Luohan Bed 罗汉床 (Luóhàn chuáng) -though less comfortably- if too lazy to move onto even the couch 😆

The Jade Cat Pendant

In battle, Xiao Heng bites into a white jade cat pendant belonging to Xue Fangfei, whom he affectionately calls "Xiao Li Mao" (little leopard cat). Jade represents human virtues in traditional Chinese culture. As the Confucian saying in the Book of Rites goes: "A gentleman never parts with his jade without a reason." Jade pendants were worn on the body as a constant reminder of one's virtues. In The Double, Xiao Heng keeps A'Li's pendant close to him. It is a token of love, respect, and their shared quest for justice. According to Chinese folklore, it is good luck for a stray cat to enter the house, as "cats bring five blessings, cats enter blessed places." Similarly, jade carvings of cats were believed to bring good fortune and health to their owners. Xue Fangfei treasures her jade pendant. It was given to her by her father, who hoped it would bring her protection and a smooth and peaceful life. The cat-shaped pendant also represents Xue Fangfei herself, her ability to survive in harsh environments, and how, like a stray cat, she unexpectedly enters Xiao Heng's life and captures his heart.
