Chapter 68

Xiao Dezi was quite articulate, telling the whole story. So was it Jidetang who was trying to get in the way, or was the Grand Duke really in bad shape?

Pan'er's mind was in turmoil at the moment, she wanted to calm down, but it was too painful. "Go and ask Doctor Wang, or maybe Doctor Dong."

"I've asked, but Dr. Wang is with the Empress Dowager, and Dr. Dong is not on duty today." This was the main reason for Xiao Dezi's crying face.

"Master, Jidetang's side is intentionally doing this, they are deliberately using the Grand Duke as an excuse, just to harm you!" Xiao Dezi was probably also anxious and blurted such words out.The whole east wing was silent, all heads bowed, none dared to speak. He dared to say such things, but they did not dare to listen.

If they inadvertently broke into the private affairs between the masters, they would not end up well, no matter whether Su Fengyi was in trouble today or not. Even Sister Yang, who knew how things were done in the palace, could not help but turn white.

At this time, Pan'er's hoarse voice was the only thing that set the tone: "Order someone to go out of the palace, go out of the palace to invite Dr. Dong. If you can't invite Dr. Dong, it's fine to invite a random doctor."

"But the minions don't have the waist tag to leave the palace, so they can't go out." Xiao Dezi said in despair.

Before the words could leave his mouth, Aunt Qing walked over and smacked him on the side of the head. "If you don't have a solution, then think of a solution, such a little thing makes you panic, aren't you always resourceful? Order someone to go to the Crown Prince and get Eunuch Fu to get Eunuch Zhang ......"

"This servant has an idea." A voice rang out from the doorway of the outer room. It was eunuch Feng. His original surname was Feng and his first name was Hai. Ever since Pan'er started to start, the lackeys in this courtyard had all tensed up, those who could come in served inside, and those like Feng Hai who couldn't come in, stayed outside to keep an eye on the movement.

"What's the method?"

"The lackeys went to find Liu Yuan. It's definitely too late to go and ask the Crown Prince, besides, we don't know where the Crown Prince is, and we don't know how much time will be wasted in one trip.

Liu Yuan used to be the Crown Prince's man and was later sent to manage the warehouse, people like them are deep in the Palace's doorways, so they must have a way to get out of the Palace. If it was before, the slave would have a way, but since he came to serve his master, the exit waistband has been handed over."

"Then go quickly, I'll leave this to you, and bring the Imperial Doctor Wang back in person, so that he can prepare the labor inducing medicine in advance, and tell him about my situation. Little Dezi, take someone to seek the Prince, don't just keep it to yourself, those little eunuchs allocated from the Yuqing Palace, they must have a better idea than you."

"Yes." The two men answered and went down. It had taken all her strength for Pan'er to finish those words, and she closed her eyes and inhaled deeply to ease the pain. Only when she felt a little better did she strain to say to Sister Yang and the others, "Don't panic, as long as you do your best today, I will keep you alive."

That said, these words did not ease the tension of Sister Yang and the others, especially the two midwifery sisters from the palace.

Most of them were aware that this kind of thing was not something that a mere Fengyi could say, and they were obviously distracted and much more tied up in their work than before.

At this point, the two midwives came into play, as they were from outside the palace and did not understand what Sister Yang and the girls were afraid of, but only knew that they could not let anything happen to Su Fengyi.

The two of them pushed Sister Yang and the others out of the way and went up to check on Pan'er's opening under the blankets. The two of them can only rub Pan'er's back and belly to ease the pain, while the other talks to her to divert her attention.

--

The other side of the Eastern Palace, in the Hall of Virtue.

The Imperial Doctor had already prescribed the medicine, and the nursemaids had boiled the medicine and brought it to him. After half a day of coaxing, the Grand Duke was finally put to sleep and the room fell into silence. It was precisely this silence that made it particularly difficult to stay awake.

Fu Dong pulled Sister Chen out secretly and asked, "Sister, will this be okay? There are still waiting for the Imperial Doctor over there."

"What's okay or not okay? The Grand Duke is like this now, how can the doctor not watch over him? Some people have pains all day and all night before they give birth, so what's the difference if we let her wait?"

Fu Dong looked hesitant and embarrassed, she had just stopped the doctor and led him to Jidetang because she was angry for her master, but now she was a bit scared after the job was done.The matter of Su Fengyi being pregnant with twin babies was already taken seriously by the top, especially by the Empress, who even called her to Kunning Palace to talk. If something really happens, even if it's not because they stopped the doctor, the blame will be on them.

And the matter was not at all ordered by the Crown Princess, but was done by them privately.

The more Fu Dong thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and she couldn't help but look at Sister Chen several times. She was obviously lost in thought, her face twitching nervously, not obviously, but when she looked closely, she could see the slight trembling curve.

Is this Sister Chen's fear?

Fu Dong panicked: "Sister!" Sister Chen turned her head to look at her, grabbed her hands and lowered her voice: "You also think she has stolen the limelight from the Crown Princess, don't you? If she really gives birth to a young imperial grandson, there is no telling how she will ride on the Crown Princess' head, I am also helping to ease the Crown Princess' worries."

"But ......"

"Look at how pitiful the eldest son is, he is more than eight months old, but his body is not as strong as those who are 100 days old, he is barely alive, and she is carrying twins, so it is not sure if the baby will be born. Besides, we can't blame ourselves for this. Compared to a Feng Yi, the Grand Duke is naturally more important. Even if someone really blames us, we are still loyal servants of the master, we are really too worried about the Grand Duke, that's why we ignore that side."

Fu Dong couldn't restrain herself from shaking, she thought that Sister Chen just wanted to give that side a hard time, but she never expected that Sister Chen would have such an idea.

If she hadn't had such an idea, Sister Chen wouldn't have gone to such lengths to make such a scene, she was being used as a rafter, and the old woman wanted to die herself, but she had to be dragged into it. But Fu Dong couldn't say a word, things were already like this,

It wasn't in her power to make a difference, she could only stiffen her head and follow Sister Chen down one path into the darkness. Had she known it was like this today she should have begged the Crown Princess to let follow her out instead of staying at home.In the interval between Fu Dong's thoughts, Sister Chen had already walked in.

The young eunuch had said something to the young doctor, who was clearly embarrassed, but had to listen. Fu Dong walked in with her heart in turmoil, and had just stood still when a voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Sister Chen, Eunuch Liu requests to see you."

Frightened, Fu Dong shivered and turned her head to rebuke, "Keep your noise down!" Sister Chen frowned, "What Eunuch Liu?" The little palace maid showed her aggrieved face, "It's Eunuch Liu Yuan. Liu, who is in charge of the treasury."

"What did he come to see me for?" Sister Chen said. She then remembered something, this Liu Yuan seemed to have come from the Yuqing Palace, and it seemed that he had made some mistake and was punished by the Crown Prince to take charge of the treasury.

Sister Chen was not afraid of this man, for such a person was clearly out of his master's favour, but to be associated with the Crown Prince, especially at this moment, made her heart inexplicably uneasy. And she had never had any dealings with Liu Yuan, so what did he want with her?

"Naturally, we have something to discuss with Sister Chen." Before Sister Chen could come up with a response, the little court lady was suddenly pushed aside and a long-faced eunuch in his thirties came in from behind.

Sister Chen was startled: "What are you, how can you barge into the Grand Duke's room? The Grand Duke is ill now, can you afford to frighten him?" Liu Yuan smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes: "Sister, look at what you said, how could we be so rude as to scare the Grand Duke? The two days in the palace banquet, the noble people happy inevitably drank too much wind will want to order some kind of antidote to the wine soup and so on, our majesty and the empress are careful, specially arranged each place a Imperial doctor. This is not the case, the Taiyuan Hospital is short of staff, and only one doctor has been invited. The Hall of Virtue says that the Grand Duke is sick and needs to be seen first, but Su Fengyi is still waiting to give birth, so we want to ask the doctor to prescribe a prescription for labor medicine first, and then send the doctor over when you are done?"

"You..."

"Yes, yes, I'll prescribe it right away." The young doctor inside hurried over, his forehead still covered in cold sweat, so he knew in his heart that he had been caught up in the battle between his masters. But he was the lowest-ranking Imperial Doctor, so what could he say?

Now that Su Fengyi's people have come to him, no matter what, he can still get away with the crime. Before coming here, because Xiao Dezi said that Su Fengyi was about to give birth, the doctor had brought with him the medicine to induce labour, and he took out the prescription and a packet of herbs from his medicine chest.

In order to avoid suspicion, he had wanted to open the packet of medicine to look at it and count the herbs against the prescription, but it was snatched away by Liu Yuan. Liu Yuan gave an arch of his hand to Sister Chen and said, "Since we have the medicine, we will leave Sister alone." With these words, he left.

When he had left the Hall of Virtue, Feng Hai followed him to the side and said, "Brother Liu is still very capable, the servant didn't think of this method."

Liu Yuan glanced at him, it wasn't that he hadn't thought of it, but that he simply couldn't break into the Hall of Virtue.

"I think that doctor is too young, and Su Fengyi's health is not usually under his care, so we should invite Dr. Dong into the palace. You take my badge and take a few more people out to the palace to invite him, I'll order someone to find the prince and see if we can get Dr. Wang to come.

"You're still smart enough to know to beg to come to me!"

Feng Hai rubbed his head with a hearty smile and took the waist plate and went away busily.

--

The Prince's mouth held a decent smile as his gaze was placed in the centre of the crowd's attention. The hall was filled with immortal music, the dancers were dancing beautifully, and the crowd was laughing and singing.

Sensing the presence of Fulu behind him again, the prince turned his face slightly sideways in a questioning gesture. He wiped a handful of sweat and spat in his heart, saying what was going on, but he did not dare to hide it from the prince, so he whispered the story in his ear.

"Third brother is so busy with his day-to-day business. Fu Lu, what did you say to our Crown Prince, tell me?" The Chu Prince, who was cupping his wine bottle, said with a wry smile.

"It's just a small matter," said the prince as he coiled the strings on his wrist, his smile not reaching the bottom of his eyes: "A concubine is about to give birth in the backyard, and the minions below are not fit for the job, so they reported it," he said, and then said to Fulu: "You go to Cining Palace and report the matter to the Empress Dowager, who has always been sympathetic to her juniors and will not fail to lend out Dr. Wang."

"Yes." Fu Lu answered and hurriedly retreated. When he heard of the Wang doctor, King Chu's sword brows twitched: "But that concubine of yours who is carrying twin babies is about to give birth? It doesn't seem to be at ten months yet, you really know how to pick the day, you're about to give birth on the 15th of August."

"I didn't expect that second brother would be so concerned about the affairs of my backyard, but let me say that it would be better for second brother to be more concerned about the backyard of the Prince of Chu's House. If there are fatalities every three days, I'm afraid that even if father favours second brother, he will still have to reprimand him."

"You-" The Prince of Chu's face showed a hint of sternness.

At that moment, Prince Qi, who had left and returned, intervened between them, "Second and third brothers are very close, what are they talking about, tell me?"The King of Chu often helped the King of Qi to deal with the Crown Prince, but the two of them were at odds with each other, and they had often done things like laughing on the surface but stabbing behind the scenes.

The Prince was also reluctant to cause any trouble, so the King of Qi was naturally left in the lurch. He was able to be the eldest brother, so he had his own merits. He talked to the Prince of Chu as if nothing had happened, and skipped over the matter. The banquet did not end until half past midnight.

Today, there was a foreign envoy, so the women's banquet was not in the same place as the men. When she came out of the Chengrui Pavilion, the Crown Princess asked the people below her if the feast on the Crown Prince's side was over. The servants couldn't tell us what was going on, but the Crown Princess thought that the feast there must not have broken up as early as the one here, so she took the people with her and headed for the Floating Bi Pavilion.

When they reached the outskirts of the pavilion, they could see from afar that the pavilion was still lit up and there was a faint sound of music coming from there. The Crown Princess chose a place to stand and sent someone to ask the Crown Prince for instructions. Not long after, the man came back. "In reply to the Crown Princess' words, His Highness has already left."

"He left?"

"Yes, just left not long ago, saying that Su Fengyi is about to give birth and His Highness has gone back to the East Palace."

The Crown Princess was wondering how she was about to give birth when the month had not yet arrived, when suddenly a person pounced up from behind and knelt in front of her.

It was Fu Dong.

"Crown Princess, help!"

BIOGRAFIA: Filha única de um bilionário do mercado imobiliário chinês, Yuqing foi criada com nenhum amor e muito dinheiro para suprir a ausência do velho Feng ChenQiao. Seu temperamento desde muito jovem sempre fora um problema para cada governanta que conseguira tirar de dentro de casa, fazendo-as desistir por não suportar as brincadeiras cruéis e o lado desordeiro da criança. Ao entrar para o ensino médio as coisas apenas pioraram, mimada e extremamente impulsiva a jovem divertia-se arranjando brigas e outros tipos de confusões envolvendo professores forçando o pai a mudá-la de escola mandando-a para um internato em Tianjin para manter certa distância do jovem e de seus problemas cotidianos. Foi no internato que os problemas realmente começaram, apesar de não ter muitos amigos, Yuqing havia conseguido “entrar” para o pior grupo de estudantes do local passando a participar de brigas constantes e se livrando das punições facilmente com apenas algumas palavras, percebeu que todos as complicações simplesmente desapareciam ao dizer que ouvira um “boato”, fazendo com que a pessoa que as escutassem magicamente a obedecesse, retirando o castigo ou desmentindo os fatos; foi no local onde também conheceu Shuang Yin, a única pessoa com quem não tinha coragem de usar o “dom” afinal não via sentido em controlar a mente da garota que amava e que a fazia se sentir normal em todo o caos em sua vida , Yin também era a única que a mantinha na linha quando estava por perto livrando a garota das más companhias e fazendo-a ser mais racional. Ao retornar para Hong Kong após o longo período em Tianjin, Yuqing decidiu que faria arquitetura apenas por prazer já não precisaria de um diploma para herdar os negócios do pai. Antes mesmo que pudesse tomar o lugar do velho com quem não sentia um pingo de afeto a chinesa recebeu a visita de uma mulher que se dizia ser sua mãe, a palidez e os olhos incandescentes a assustaram de primeira mas precisaria ouvir o que ela tinha a dizer; lembrava-se muito bem de todas as pouquíssimas vezes em que o pai lhe castigava lembrando também do quanto ChenQiao amaldiçoava a mulher que supostamente seria sua progenitora chamando-a de personificação do caos. Éris tivera o prazer de contar sobre seus feitos, deixando claro também o certo orgulho que tinha da prole por ser como era, talvez uma cópia de si em relação a desordem que costumava causar.

HABILIDADES: 1. “Eu ouvi um boato”: Com o comando o usuário pode controlar as mentes de outros com alvos sendo completamente sujeitos a seu controle mental. Se as vítimas foram colocadas em um estado semi-consciente, eles podem não ter qualquer lembrança das ações anteriores que eles executaram sob seu efeito.

2. Olhos Sangrentos: Ao olhar diretamente nos olhos de seu oponente, flashes de imagens horrendas invadirão a mente do inimigo, estonteando-o e deixando-o momentaneamente enlouquecido, e isso o distrairá por um tempo.

3. Agilidade: Éris era sempre vista acompanhando Ares, seu amigo, nas guerras e assim como ele possui uma grande agilidade em batalhas.

4. Punho do Caos: O punho do filho de Éris é envolto de pura energia caótica, fazendo com que um soco normal possa nocautear alguém imediatamente. Um soco de um filho de Éris neste nível pode facilmente quebrar a clavícula de um filho de Hefesto.

5. Controle de Fogo Caótico: Os filhos de Éris têm o poder de controlar o fogo caótico, que queima muito mais que o fogo negro e faz o fogo normal parecer gelo.

6. Invisibilidade: Éris conseguiu passar por Ládon, roubar uma das maças de Hera protegidas pelas Hesperides, entrar numa festa de casamento divina, cheia de parentes, e ainda causar uma briga entre Afrodite, Hera e Athena sem ser vista. Quando essa habilidade estiver ativa o semideus passa a ser tão furtivo quanto sua mãe, ficando invisível.

7. Sombra Infernal: Por herdar os poderes infernais de sua mãe celestial, o filho da Deusa possui uma aura natural que lhe oferece imunidade a criaturas do Submundo, podendo até controlá-las através de sua persuasão natural.

8. Asas Negras: Assim como sua mãe era uma deusa alada, a prole de Éris terá um ar de longas asas negras, sejam elas penosas ou reptilianas, que poderão se mimetizar em uma peça de roupa. Com essas asas, o meio-sangue pode se defender de quase qualquer ataque (já que elas são tão resistentes quanto o pelo do Leão de Nemeia), voar livremente pelos céus e mesmo controlá-los. Pode criar enormes tornados com o auxílio de suas asas e mesmo varrer áreas inteiras com seus ventos.

9. Controle do Pecado: Os 7 Pecados Capitais têm como objetivo criar a discórdia e o caos. Por essa razão, filhos de Éris podem trazer os piores vícios e pecados para as pessoas, fazendo com que estas esqueçam completamente de tudo ao seu redor para realizar o pecado a que foi induzida. Normalmente, isso resulta na morte imediata ou insanidade praticamente irreparável da vítima. Não funcionará em mais do que três pessoas ao mesmo tempo.

10. Controle de probabilidade: A Teoria do Caos diz que a menor e mais insignificante mudança no início de um evento aleatório pode trazer consequências enormes e absolutamente desconhecidas ao futuro. Os filhos da Deusa da Discórdia e do Caos têm controle sobre essas consequências, podendo mudá-las com sua vontade.

Love Triangles

I was thinking the other day, about what determines the second male/female and what determines the main male/female lead. And then I was thinking about which romantic dramas don’t involve love triangles and I... couldn’t think of any. So today I will analyze one, love triangle tropes, and two why dramas always include love triangles.

The love triangle in A Love So Beautiful (致我们单纯的小美好)

Types of Love Triangles

There are three main types of love triangles:

A - when the male/female lead has loved both persons in the love triangle

B - when both members of the love triangle have their moments with the male/female lead

C - when its obvious that one member of the love triangle is seen only as a “friend” or “sister” or “brother” (aka has no chance)

Some dramas feature love triangle B and love triangle C at the same time, here are some examples:

Ashes of Love (香蜜沉沉烬如霜)

Love triangle B: Xu Feng (旭凤) - Jin Mi (锦觅) - Run Yu (润玉）

Love triangle C: Sui He (穗禾) - Xu Feng (旭凤) - Jin Mi (锦觅)

Blossom in Heart (海棠经雨胭脂透)

Love triangle B: Lang Yuexuan (朗月轩) - Gu Haitang (顾海棠) - Lang Yueming (朗月明)

Love triangle C: Long Mohua (龙莫婳) - Lang Yuexuan (朗月轩) - Gu Haitang (顾海棠)

Legend of Yunxi (芸汐传)

Love triangle B: Long Feiye (龙非夜) - Han Yunxi (韩芸汐) - Gu Qishao (顾七少)

Love triangle C: Baili Mingxiang (百里茗香) - Long Feiye (龙非夜) - Han Yunxi (韩芸汐)

Some feature both love triangle A and love triangle C as well:

Put Your Head on My Shoulder (致我们暖暖的小时光)

Love triangle A: Gu Weiyi (顾未易) - Situ Mo (司徒末) - Fu Pei (傅沛)

Love triangle C: Xie Yuyin (谢雨吟) - Gu Weiyi (顾未易) - Situ Mo (司徒末)

Princess Agents (楚乔传)

Love triangle A: Yuwen Yue (宇文玥) - Chu Qiao (楚乔) - Yan Xun (燕洵)

Love triangle C: Yuan Chun (元淳) - Yan Xun (燕洵) - Chu Qiao (楚乔)

The Story of Yanxi Palace (延禧攻略)

Love triangle A: Qian Long (乾隆) - Wei Yingluo (魏璎珞) - Fucha Fuheng (富察傅恒)

Love triangle C: Chun Fei (纯妃) - Fucha Fuheng (富察傅恒) - Wei Yingluo (魏璎珞)

Rookie Agent Rouge (胭脂)

Love triangle A: Zhou Yuhao (周宇浩) - Lan Yanzhi (蓝胭脂) - Song Mian (宋勉)

Love triangle C: Feng Manna (冯曼娜) - Zhou Yuhao (周宇浩) - Lan Yanzhi (蓝胭脂)

As you can see through these seven shows, commonly the main love triangle is composed of two guys one girl, while the secondary “love triangle C” is composed of two girls and one guy. 

The love triangle in Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre (倚天屠龙记) and one of the few love triangles not to follow the two guys fighting for one girl triangle. 

Characteristics of Love Triangles

Almost always, the two members vying for the affection in the triangle are foils to each other. Examples:

A Love So Beautiful (致我们单纯的小美好)

Jiang Chen (江辰) - mature, cold and extremely smart

Wu Bosong (吴柏松) - careless, kind and bad grades

Ashes of Love (香蜜沉沉烬如霜)

Xu Feng (旭凤) - arrogant and proud

Run Yu (润玉) - quiet and calm

Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre (倚天屠龙记)

Zhao Min (赵敏) - clever, manipulative

Zhou Zhiruo (周芷若) - “innocent, selfless” (I mean she technically is worse than Zhao Min, but that’s not the mask she puts on)

In school dramas you typically have the smart guy and the dumb girl pairing that eventually wins out:

A Love So Beautiful (致我们单纯的小美好)

Jiang Chen (江辰) and Chen Xiaoxi (陈晓希)

When We Were Young (人不彪悍枉少年)

Hua Biao (花彪) and Yang Xi (杨夕)

With You (最好的我们)

Yu Huai (余淮) and Geng Geng (耿耿)

Le Coup de Foudre (我只喜欢你)

Yan Mo (言默) and Zhao Qiaoyi (赵乔一)

The love triangle in Meteor Garden 2019 (流星花园) - can you guess (if you’ve never watched this show) who the winning couple is?

You may also have the celebrity/popular/rich kid with a poor/hardworking person pairing:

Meteor Garden (流星花园) - Daoming Si (道明寺) and Shan Cai (杉菜)

Accidentally in Love (惹上冷殿下) - Situ Feng (司徒枫) and Chen Qingqing (陈青青)

My Little Princess (亲爱的, 公主病) - Lin Xingchen (林星辰) and Jiang Nianyu (江念雨)

Boss and Me (杉杉来了) - Feng Teng (封腾) and Xue Shanshan (薛杉杉)

Blossom in Heart (海棠经雨胭脂透) - Lang Yuexuan (朗月轩) and Gu Haitang (顾海棠)

In most dramas you also have the “cold” second/main male lead:

A Love So Beautiful (致我们单纯的小美好) - Jiang Chen (江辰)

Princess Agents (楚乔传) - Yuwen Yue (宇文玥）

Goodbye My Princess (东宫) - Gu Jian (顾剑)

Often there’s also the “childhood friend” aspect, and while that particular trope usually looses out there are some exceptions:

A Love So Beautiful (致我们单纯的小美好) - Jiang Chen (江辰) - main lead

When We Were Young (人不彪悍枉少年) - Li Yu (李漁) - second lead

Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber (倚天屠龙记) - Zhou Zhiruo (周芷若） - second lead

Goodbye My Princess (东宫) - Gu Jian (顾剑) - second lead

Put Your Head on My Shoulder (致我们暖暖的小时光) - Fu Pei (傅沛) - second lead

In some dramas, almost any male character that appears is in love with the female lead:

Princess Agents (楚乔传) - female lead gets the love of:

Yuwen Yue (宇文玥)

Yan Xun (燕洵)

Yuan Song (元嵩)

Xiao Ce (萧策)

Journey of Flower (花千骨) - female lead gets the love of:

Bai Zihua (白子画)

Dongfang Yuqing (东方彧卿)

Meng Xuanlang (孟玄朗)

Startling With Each Step (步步惊心)

Yin Zhen (胤禛)

Yin Si (胤禩)

Yin Ti (胤禵)

Yin E (胤䄉)

The male leads in Startling With Each Step/Scarlet Heart were lucky! They all got something with the female lead:

Male lead: Yin Zhen (胤禛) - is the true love/soulmate

Second male lead: Yin Si (胤禩) - gets her love in the first half

Third male lead: Yin Ti (胤禵) - gets to marry her

So What Differentiates the First and Second Male Leads?

The love triangle in Goodbye My Princess (东宫) - can you guess (if you’ve never watched this show) who the winning couple is?

Typically the female lead just likes one of them and you can’t really give a reason for why the first male lead is better than the second one. However, some dramas do a good job of creating a jerk second male lead that makes the decision sufficiently easier for our female lead:

Princess Agents (楚乔传)

Second male lead Yan Xun (燕洵) kind of goes insane after his entire family is slaughtered and becomes obsessed over revenge. He looses all the qualities our female lead fell in love with him for.

Put Your Head on My Shoulder (致我们暖暖的小时光)

Second male lead Fu Pei (傅沛) is a literal jerk. He takes our female lead’s love for granted and constantly abandons her when she needs help.

Bloody Romance (媚者无疆)

Second male lead Gong Zi (公子) treats people like chess pieces instead of real humans, and is willing to kill or manipulate anyone. Our female lead, being kind and unwilling to kill anyone, obviously would never fall for him.

My Little Princess (亲爱的，公主病)

Second male lead Zheng Chuyao (郑楚曜) is childish and immature. He is unwilling to confess his love for the female lead and constantly embarrasses her instead. 

However, in most other cases, there is never a clear difference between who wins out in a love triangle. One similarity most share is that the first one to speak with the female lead wins out:

Bloody Romance (媚者无疆)

A Love So Beautiful (致我们单纯的小美好)

Accidentally in Love (惹上冷殿下)

Ashes of Love (香蜜沉沉烬如霜)

Blossom in Heart (海棠经雨胭脂透）

My Little Princess (亲爱的，公主病)

Love O2O (微微一笑很倾城）

The Princess Weiyoung (锦绣未央)

The Story of Minglan (知否知否应是绿肥红瘦)

Lucky’s First Love (世界欠我一个初恋)

The love triangle in Ashes of Love (香蜜沉沉烬如霜) - can you guess (if you’ve never watched this show) who the winning couple is?

Usually, the second male lead is the type of person who will forever watch over the female lead, caring for them are a subtle way. They are kinder, calmer, and perhaps more down to earth and human:

A Love So Beautiful (致我们单纯的小美好) - Wu Bosong (吴柏松)

Meteor Garden (流星花园) - Hua Zelei (花泽类)

Goodbye My Princess (东宫) - Gu Jian (顾剑)

Ashes of Love (香蜜沉沉烬如霜) - Run Yu (润玉)

Accidentally in Love (惹上冷殿下) - Gu Nanxi (顾南锡)

When We Were Young (人不彪悍枉少年) - Li Yu (李漁)

Legend of Yunxi (芸汐传) - Gu Qishao (顾七少)

In cases of the above, the male lead is usually more cold or immature:

A Love So Beautiful (致我们单纯的小美好) - Jiang Chen (江辰)

Meteor Garden (流星花园) - Daoming Si (道明寺)

Goodbye My Princess (东宫) - Li Chengyin (李承鄞)

Ashes of Love (香蜜沉沉烬如霜) 

Accidentally in Love (惹上冷殿下) - Situ Feng (司徒枫)

When We Were Young (人不彪悍枉少年) 

Legend of Yunxi (芸汐传) - Long Feiye (龙非夜)

With second female leads, the similarities are rather obvious. They think they “deserve” the love of the male lead because they either grew up together or they have the same social standing:

Goodbye My Princess (东宫) - Zhao Sese (赵瑟瑟）

Ashes of Love (香蜜沉沉烬如霜) - Sui He (穗禾)

Legend of Yunxi (芸汐传) - Baili Mingxiang (百里茗香)

Love O2O (微微一笑很倾城) - Meng Yiran (孟逸然)

Blossom in Heart (海棠经雨胭脂透) - Long Mohua (龙莫婳)

Boss and Me (杉杉来了) - Yuan Lishu (元丽抒)

While the male lead often sees his excess admirers as “sisters” the female lead simply friend zones them. 

Often, the male lead is also somewhat of a foil to the female lead:

Boss and Me (杉杉来了)

Xue Shanshan (薛杉杉) is innocent, a little stupid and cute

Feng Teng (封腾) is mature, intelligent and cold

Ashes of Love (香蜜沉沉烬如霜)

Jin Mi (锦觅) is unaware of love and a little stupid

Xu Feng (旭凤) is fully aware of his feelings and smarter

Goodbye My Princess (东宫)

Qu Xiaofeng (曲小枫) is innocent, kind and longs to go home

Li Chengyin (李承鄞) is cold, cruel and willing to do anything to keep Xiaofeng by his side

If you really just want to tell who’s the male lead, I’ll tell you an easy way to find out: he’s going to be played by the guy who’s more famous. 

The love triangle in Startling With Each Step (步步惊心) - can you guess who’s the first, second, and third male leads are?

So Why do Dramas Love Love Triangles?

Not to say TV shows have lazy writing or anything, but I feel like love triangles are an easy way to make both male and female leads realize their feelings. For instance, in Boss and Me, when our female lead (Shan Shan), sees our male lead (Feng Teng) dancing with another girl, she gets jealous. That makes her realize her feelings. Love triangles can also stretch out a TV show longer. A show that might only have 24 episodes can probably be stretched to more than 30 just due to love triangles. 

On a level of characterization, when a character has many admirers, we, as watchers, can infer various things about them. Either they are one, amazingly beautiful or successful, or two, amazingly unique. For example, Chu Qiao in Princess Agents is strong and intelligent and for that reason, almost every guy she comes in contact with falls head over heels for her. This can show you that she is one of a kind in this world. Very few women in Princess Agents are as straightforward of their power, and so she really is unique. Xiaofeng in Goodbye My Princess has admirers because she is kind, innocent and selfless. Her bright and cheerful personality contrasts heavily with the political and dark atmosphere of the palace. So, when a character is entangled in many love triangles, you can infer there’s something special about them, and use that hypothesis to further infer something about the world in which the television show takes place. 

Love triangles can also lead to more character development. In trying to get girl (or very rarely guy), the admirers must rise to become a better version of themselves. For example, in Meteor Garden, Daoming Si goes from being bratty and immature to being (relatively more) mature and understanding. In A Love So Beautiful, Jiang Chen goes from being a guy that’s cold and pushes people away to a guy who is more open about his feelings and love. 

So, while in some shows, love triangles exist purely to elongate the show, in other shows we can use love triangles as a way to investigate the society we are plunged into at the start of the show. 

Notes:

Would you say Go Go Squid (亲爱的, 热爱的) has a love triangle. That weird press lady likes the male lead, but she has like four scenes in total. 

Here’s another thought I had about love: the ability of a character to admit their feelings often reflects upon how they’ve lived up til that point. Characters that do not understand their feelings could either have grown up isolated, never been in a relationship or have been fed a pill by their mother that takes away their ability to love. Characters who confess more easily were probably raised with loving parents in a loving household with loving friends surrounding them. Characters that understand their feelings at once know themselves well, and they can understand love. They either were raised in a loving family, or have been in love before. Love is a strange concept, sometimes we can’t handle it, and a lot of times we can’t understand it. TV shows feature humans (or at least things that look like humans) and so they deal with that aforementioned problem too.

[FULL] 10 _ OUR SONGS (The last team in the rankings (5th) will be leaving the show :’()

+ DDR and Cart Racing. Too cute. Shen Shen.

10:56 - MC: Qi-ge, you’re such a cool guy, and you love racing. Why did you let Yuning race, instead of doing it yourself? RXQ: I know YN’s skills. Another thing is that everyone knows that I love racing. For me to win, is obvious. Losing would lose me too much face. So, I thought it would be better to let YN do it. LYN: Qi-ge saw that I really wanted to play, so he let me do it. MC: Let me tell you, through the whole course, the fastest in speed was actually XZ. But the trophy goes to LYN. 

Zhou Huajian x Jiang Yiqiao - 阴天 (Yin Tian)

22:40 - MC: I think we can all completely understand how FYQ lost at DDR, being his first time playing. What happened to you while racing? A: There were really very skilled people there. HJ-dage is too awesome. ZhanZhan- skilled. Yuning. They drove so well that I couldn’t even see them, and I was driving fast enough. MC: I notice there’s one person you haven’t mentioned- Zhou Shen. A: ShenShen and I were side by side. He was behind me. ZS: He speaks too highly of me. I was on a different playing field completely. ZHJ: Can I say this? A: Say? ZS: ?? ZHJ: Zhou Shen drove in the opposite direction.

[ShenShen trying to learn the route from Yuning] 24:10 - LYN: There’s only one way. ZS: There’s only one? LYN: Just don’t go on the grass and you’ll be fine. There’s only one way. ZS: Everyone, please be careful! If you see me on the road, please make way!! – A: Sometimes you can see a person-less cart roaming around. ZS: That is to say, all you could see of me was the helmet. HL: Don’t go driving out on the street like that. ZS: I won’t. I won’t even drive a car.

Fei Yuqing x Ayanga - 卷珠帘 (Juan Zu Lian) x 凤凰于飞 (Feng Huang Yu Fei)

26:51 - RXQ: Wow, they have a qin?! 26:59 - ZS: We don’t have anything. HL: We have dry ice!

34:28 - MC: The first two groups were already so amazing. The third group- to sing after these two amazing seniors… (how do you feel?) XZ: I’m just very nervous. Because the first two groups were too good x3 MC: You have to know. Na-jie told me she was definitely coming back. XZ: /mental breakdown/ XZ: OK! She will. She will.

Angela Chang x Xiao Zhan - 呐喊 (Na Han | Shout)

35:46 - MC: I wonder if the other teams feel like this is unfair. Other Teams: ?? Zhan: ! MC: Because it feels like there are three people on Na-Zhan Team (instead of two). There’s someone behind the scenes always giving them input! ZHJ: Yes, yes, yes. How about we cut them by 50 points? MC: First cut 50 points off? XD XZ: !! 🙏 (have mercy)

37:14 - XZ: People’s impression of me, they always say I’m 文质彬彬 (elegant and simple, elegant and polite). I sing very lyrical songs. But really I.. I do have a different heart. So I’m very thankful that Angela-laoshi is here, and is willing to help me perform different things. I’m pretty happy. A: /looks at Zhan Zhan/ XZ: /looks back/ Really! A: Thank you.

42:14 - MC: Are you feeling satisfied? A: I’m feeling pretty smug. XZ: Yeah. MC: XZ. This is the first time I’ve seen your veins bursting out. XZ: LOL MC: This song is actually quite difficult. XZ: Yes. To me, there was some difficulty. MC: Then why did you decide to take on this challenge? XZ: Because I really like this song. When I… was still in my youth… /Angela elbows him/ I remember this song was about a small girl who was shouting out the things in her heart, wanting to grow up. She wanted to be accepted by the world and didn’t want to be pushed down by insignificant things. When I heard the new arrangement, I thought “Wow”. This girl has already grown up and she has her own views of the world now. She made her own breakthrough. This song is meaningful not only to Angela-laoshi, but also to me. I really want to breakthrough and shout out what’s in my heart.

43:14 - MC: Throughout this whole program I’ve found that two people always sing along. One is Yuning, the other is Zhou Shen. LYN: I’m shocked. The reason I was singing along was actually because I was warming up- it’s my turn soon. A/XZ: LOL MC: ZS, you’re not also warming up, are you? ZS: Uh…this is. Uh. That is- when I was- Also… XZ: In your youth! ZS: In my youth I would also regularly listen to this song. So I was brought back to that time.

44:08 - MC: Qi-ge, you’re very calm. RXQ: I’m here to savor in the musical feast! I was shocked because XZ looks like he’s very 斯文秀气 (handsome and delicate) but when he was singing “Shout” his explosive force- I thought I was seeing a solitary prince going to rescue his princess. In this distant kingdom, song coming from all sides, he bravely pulled his sword and went forth. I saw this sort of image. XZ: Thank you Qi-ge. Thank you.

Ren Xianqi x Liu Yuning - 天涯 (Tian Ya | Horizon)

53:13 - MC: This is Qi-ge’s “TianYa”, right? I’d like to take the opportunity to let everyone know of the background behind this song. The composer of this song is a well known Japanese singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima. RXQ: Yes. MC: When I was looking up this information I found out that this song she made especially for you.  RXQ: Yes, she wrote it for me. I had done a cover of 伤心太平洋 (Shang Xin Tai Ping Yang) before. I made an MV, and I sent it to her. She really liked it and ended up sending me a song. That song was 天涯.  Hacken Lee x Zhou Shen - 天下有情人 (Tian Xia You Qing Ren) [1:01:22 - XZ’s reaction to the song. Same. OMG. Zhou Shen’s an angel.]

1:05:30 - ZHJ: First off, I’d really like to thank the two of you, from the bottom of my heart. No matter what product, what song, it needs a good singer to give it life. I had always thought that the collaboration between me and Qi Yu would be invincible. I really want to thank you for giving this song new life. Thank you, thank you.  ZHJ: I also want to sincerely tell everyone… please don’t forget about us. We are- JYQ: Number 1. Yin Tian.

1:04:43 - RXQ: I always thought in my heart that Zhou Shen was like Peter Pan. LKQ: You mean his physical stature is like Peter Pan? ZS: OTL RXQ: His music has a pure (newborn) quality. His voice has the power to uplift you. Their voices together- still gives me same thought- a match made in heaven. Amazing.

–

1:07:17 - MC: After today’s performance, Angela will be leaving us. Do you feel unwilling? These performances really are very wonderful. A: Of course. I really want to thank everyone on stage with me today. I think- with my collaboration this time, singing together with Xiao Zhan- I really feel that he is a very polite chi-child… Also meeting these seniors, and getting to know them more in-depth, I understand that these are very exemplary models. Not matter whether it is about professionalism on stage, or even off-stage, every one is very kind. This could be my last time playing with everyone this week. Thank you all.

+ Special Collab Stage: Fei Yuqing x Zhou Huajian + LMAO. Peanut oil CF

1:16:52 - XZ: /receives the envelope/ Thank you. /turns around and hands it to Angela/ Here. A: Hehe. You’re so cute. XZ: I’m a little nervous. A: Do you want me to open it? XZ: Ahh, I don’t want to see it. A: Oh. I saw some words. A: … XZ: Tell me. Does it say we’re out. No way… A: OH. XZ: AH?? A: … XZ: What sort of reaction is that? /can’t stand it anymore and looks/ A: I’m gonna say it! My Dearest Na–Zhan Team… Congratulations on ranking third place. We look forward to your next performance!

1 - Fei Yuqing x Ayanga 2 - Hacken Lee x Zhou Shen (lol @ Hacken’s “YAYYYYYY”) 3 - Na Ying | Angela x Xiao Zhan 4 - Zhou Huajian x Jiang Yiqiao 5 - Ren Xianqi x Liu Yuning ( OH NOOOO :’( )

1:26:16 - ZHJ: It really looks like they’re stepping on cockroaches. XZ: LOL

[Full] Our Song _ E11 (Last in rankings today (fourth place) will leave. Last episode next week.)

4:17 - MC: Na-jie is back with the team, and XZ can finally breathe a breath of relief. He finally let Na-jie come back and has withstood the challenges without her, right? But right now we have a different situation, which is that they haven’t met for a while. Tonight is an important match. XZ, you won’t let Na-jie only come back this once and then not again, right?  XZ: Of course not! Na-jie and I have not felt the passing of time at all, we’re still as compatible as ever! NY: I have communicated through phone, and I always ask him how the song selections are going.  

5:30 - MC: In order to pick our order today, we all went shooting. The only person to shoot a 10 was... /one day earlier/ MC: When you (XZ) film, you should have practiced this, right? XZ: Yep. NY: Ge, let me tell you. You might not win over him (XZ). While filming he’s been learning how to shoot. FYQ: Oh, he has experience? NY: Yes, yes. Be careful! XZ: Playing blind~

6:44 - WOW, Fei Yuqing shoots a 10 AND made it look so easy. 7:15 - XZ: NA-JIEEEEEE!!!! /shoots a 4/ oTL [total 18 points] 7:26 - FYQ getting ready... /Na-jie starts singing/ He misses. FYQ: Who was singing??! ZHJ: You definitely influenced him. 7:51 - NY: Let me sing another song. FYQ: /misses again/ [total 10 points]

8:32 - MC: Because FYQ’s skill is very good, he can give the #1 spot to another team. FYQ: Ah, number 1.... Who was it that sang “The Evening Bell of Nanping”? NY: /oops/ FYQ: Who sang “One Plum Blossom”? NY: HAHAHA

--

9:14 - MC: Team Na-Zhan will be the first to sing tonight. They’ll be fulfilling two expectations. The first is that Na-jie is back! What sort of stage will their collaboration bring to us this time? The second is that they had prepared this song a while ago but didn’t get the chance to sing (bc they passed into the next round already), and at the time I had asked XZ to sing a few lines. Since that time, the audience has been asking non-stop when we would hear the song in its entirety. Everyone. That time is now.

9:54 - XZ: Na-jie!!!! NY: What is this? We’re matching again today, too. XZ: Come quick, come quick! XZ: I really missed you. NY: You missed me? How did it go? XZ: Pretty good. I need to report to you my results. NY: I thought it was a payroll. XZ: LOL. This is our record for the past weeks. We got third place twice, but last time we got second. Pretty good. NY: Very good!

Na Ying x Xiao Zhan -  被风吹过的夏天 (Bei Feng Chui Guo De Xia Tian)

16:07 - XZ: /confused baby takes the fish from Na-jie/ NY: I’m sorry. MC: Na-jie. I’m sure in all your years on stage and in your life, you’ve never been gifted a bag of fish before, have you? NY: /giggling/ XZ: /still confused/ NY: You didn’t see, did you? XZ: ? NY: I dropped the fish. XZ: /WHAT?/ A: If he had seen I bet he also would have laughed. XZ: If I had seen I wouldn’t have been able to sing the last verse either

16:45 - NY: When we were practicing, XZ would only be holding an ID card. Look at this thing- all wet, and REAL fish. With water. I didn’t hold it properly and when I was walking behind you I dropped it. At that time- my heart shattered. NY: And then when I was sitting here, I held up the fish and then I remembered how I dropped them and I COULD NOT sing anymore.

17:15 - XZ: I didn’t know what happened. I thought I sang wrong, Na-jie! NY: You were great. You kept on singing until the end. XZ: I didn’t have any other choice

17:26 - NY: I’m really glad you didn’t see that. I really need to tell you I’m sorry. XZ: No, no, no, no. It’s his fault (the fish). It’s you. /pokes the fish/ 17:38 - A: We were laughing ourselves silly down here. I saw Huajian-dage over there... ZHJ: I knew it could definitely influence them, but I get more screen-time.

17:51 - MC: Let me ask HJ, do you think it’s alright to make mistakes on a live stage? ZHJ: Of course! In this world, who can compare to me in terms of making mistakes on stage? JYQ: Big Bro “Forgetting the Lyrics”  ZHJ: Not only forgetting the lyrics. I’ve written a whole new song before.  ZHJ: This has to be said though, Xiao Zhan has improved a lot.

--

Hacken Lee x Zhou Shen -  大会堂演奏厅 (Da Hui Tang Yan Zou Ting)

30:06 - MC: Hacken wrote the lyrics for this song in 1988, when he was just 21 years old. A lot of people know his songs, but I must let everyone know that he’s written lyrics for more than 80 songs.

--

Fei Yuqing x Ayanga -  新鸳鸯·蝴蝶梦 (Xin Yuan Yang - Hu Die Meng) + Ayanga in a Pikachu sweater. Never thought I’d see it.

37:55 - MC: I need to say, from my standpoint, the one I could see the most clearly was Xiao Zhan. It looked like there was something shining from deep within his eyes. XZ: I feel very touched. I felt like I could hear in the song a hopeful feeling. It was divine, and made me see “hope” and the “future”. It’s very abstract, but I liked it a lot. NY: As soon as FYQ opened his mouth, I felt (indescribable). I realized that in the music industry, he’s too superior.  -- NY: I’ve been thinking to myself- how could FYQ not continue to sing anymore.[FYQ is retiring, after this show is over, he will not be singing professionally anymore.] At the very last moment, now here is Ayanga. When he stood there singing I came to realize that even when Xiao Ge doesn’t sing anymore, he could be relieved that Ayanga is there to sing in his place. 

--

Zhou Huajian x Jiang Yiqiao -  虎口脱险 (Hu Kou Tuo Xian)

--

Na Ying x Xiao Zhan -  恼人的秋风 (Nao Ren De Qiu Feng)

1:00:20 - MC: Hold on! We need to confirm something first. Could the female singer please say a few words? (/confirm it is really Na Yin XD/) NY: He’ll talk first. Him first. MC: I really do not dare believe this is our Na-jie! Audience: Team Na-Zhan! x10000 NY: What about us? Audience: You’re great!!! NY: Do you think we can turn this around (win another round)? Audience: /cheering/ MC: XZ, tell me. Whose idea was this? XZ: Actutally, it was Na-jie. She said she wanted to pay tribute. MC: ??? NY: It’s because previously we heard Hacken and Zhou Shen sing the “Ye Lang Disco”. After I saw that I thought that we also should sing a song like that. I wanted to pay tribute to my 80′s. MC: XZ. When you heard about the song, did you not even hesitate for a second? NY: He ignored me for a whole day! XZ: No, Na-jie! I really was working! I wouldn’t dare (ignore you)! NY: I was thinking “Oh shoot. He probably doesn’t like it.” MC: Or maybe he got scared.  XZ: Honestly I did hesitate at first. I didn’t think I would be able to control it. But Na-jie said she wanted it retro, and she explained her vision to me, and I was convinced. I said if we’re going to do it, let’s [go big or go home]. So we tried a retro style.

1:02:05 - MC: You know, with Na-jie.. it’s very rare that we have the chance to see you sing AND dance on stage.  ZHJ: And she danced very well! NY: I really need to thank XZ for practicing the steps with me all the time. When we were sitting there, too, he was counting the beats for me. You all know that even when I walk normally I’m a little uncoordinated. So this (dance) was really hard for me. You may not have seen, but up there where the lyrics are, the choreographer was there, showing me the steps. 

1:02:53 - MC: Let me tell you, ever since we started battling in teams, this is the first time that FYQ forgot to hold his pen and paper.  1:03:44 - ZHJ: I know you are all very happy, but have you thought about how we feel? (ZHJ x JYQ, who have to sing next). You two... do you have to be so cruel? NY: In this music competition, you HAVE TO be this cruel.  ZHJ: If we could vote, I’d vote for you to win.  ZHJ: I’m really happy and thankful to have made it this far in the competition. It doesn’t even feel like one at this point. We’re all here to appreciate each other. I really want to thank the two of you for letting us open our eyes and ears. Especially Na-jie. NY: This is not easy for me. ZHJ: You’re obviously someone who can just rely on your face... why do you have to sing so well? And why do you have to have such a nice figure? NY: Do you know how much I’ve suffered off this stage? I can’t eat all the good foods! YOU can eat a bowl of noodles, but I can only eat three strands! XZ: !! NY: And then I have to work out. I think if you still want to stand on stage, you have to maintain a healthy mind/body.  ZHJ: We will still work hard! Watch out for us!

--

Zhou Huajian x Jiang Yiqiao -  其实不想走 (Qi Shi Bu Xiang Zou | Don’t Want to Go)

1:05:11 - NY: This title makes my heart hurt. ZHJ: We can only play the sympathy card now.

1:12:24 - MC: When I was conversing with HJ before, he had told me that there was a singer that he always wanted to sing with- that singer is Na-jie. NY: ?! Audience: /sing sth!/

1:13:13 - ZHJ: Work with me here, is there any of my songs that you’ve heard? NY: I can sing any/all of your songs. MC: Can I request one? Because the two of your teams.... only one will continue in the competition, and now you have to part ways. So the only thing I can think of is “ 让我欢喜让我忧” (Make Me Happy Make Me Worry)

多想說聲我真的愛妳 I want to say I really love you 多想說聲對不起妳 I want to say I’m sorry to you 妳哭著說情緣已盡 You cry and say the relationship is over 難再續 難再續 It’s too hard to continue, too hard to continue

就請妳給我多一點點時間 再多一點點問候 Just please give me just a little more time, just a little more greetings 不要一切都帶走 Don’t take everything and go 就請妳給我多一點點空間 再多一點點溫柔 Just please give me just a little more space, just a little more tenderness 不要讓我如此難受  Don’t make me so uncomfortable

ZHJ: Wait, there’s more I have to sing

妳這樣一個女人 讓我歡喜讓我(+們)憂 A woman like you, makes me happy and makes US worry (he changed the lyrics from “me” to “us”) 讓我甘心為了妳付出我(+們)所有 Let me be happy for you, give US everything

--

1:16:39 - MC: I’ve been listening to a song recently that I really like, and I’ve written down a few of the lyrics to share with you. I think it suits this stage and everyone’s thinking. We say that this society runs too fast sometimes. So how fast is it? [Lyrics to Zhou Huajian’s most recent release “少年” Shao Nian (Youth)]

有时候来不及沉淀　岁月总是跑在灵魂的前面 Sometimes it’s too late to rush, years go by passing faster than the soul 好在还有一点信念　陪我们完成每一天 Fortunately I still have a little faith to accompany us to complete the day 别忘记心中的少年　狂奔的勇敢的 Don’t forget the youth still in your heart, hasty, brave 最初的少年 The youth you were at first

MC: We’ve been waiting six years for a new song from Huajian. Could you tell us about this song? ZHJ: Let me speak directly. For people my age, it’s hard to walk into a record shop... it’s highly likely that there aren’t many songs we can choose to listen to. That’s not to say that the current music of the youth isn’t good, it’s just that when you reach a certain age, there’s inevitably going to be that generational gap. I wanted to be able to give people in my generation a choice. For the past six years I’ve been thinking about this, and it’s only in the past year that I realized that after having written eight songs I was always talking about the past, when I was young. That’s how I thought of the theme, the title- “shao nian.” When I finished making the song I found it interesting. I used the word “youth” to look at the faces of everyone around me. The people I know now, the people I’ve known for years, the people I am getting to know. There’s a youth inside all of us. No matter what age you are now, whether 60 or 70, there’s a youth inside you. Don’t hide them. Let them out. 

Goodbye to Zhou Huajian and Jiang Yiqiao :’(

Olá, alunos! Chegou a época de nosso segundo combate e espero que tenham aproveitado bastante as aulas, especialmente as de condicionamento físico, já que esse teremos uma condição especial: os poderes de vocês serão bloqueados.

5. Dessa vez ao invés do nivelamento, teremos a ausência dos poderes.

6. Caso seja gerada a detenção, lembrem-se: A detenção também ocasiona na adição apenas de metade dos pontos que forem adquiridos no combate e não poderá ganhar pontos e nem participar de plotdrops ou selfplots pessoais no período de detenção. Também como punição, perderá metade dos pontos já adquiridos naquele nível.

7. Os personagens poderão levar 2 tipos de armas de sua preferência.

Qualquer dúvida ou problema estaremos à disposição na DM da nossa base.
