Dongfang Qingcang asks Shangque questions a lot. It's a habit that we're shown he must have got into long ago, because he does it right from the start. He even does it with absurd hypotheticals:
(to which he realises he doesn't want an answer, and retracts the question before he gets more than a puzzled "Well …"). I'm sorry, this is going to be long, there's no way to avoid it.
He does it in cases where Shangque's common sense is practically useful:
(The answer "She's too cold" turns out to be correct).
He does it when there is a real mystery to solve. Here, Shangque's hypothesis is wrong, but it's as good a place as any to start an analysis that leads closer to the truth:
This is a good habit for a king to have. It's advised in the most famous work of the European Renaissance on how to conduct oneself as a head of state:
"... there is no other way of guarding oneself from flatterers except letting men understand that to tell you the truth does not offend you; but when every one may tell you the truth, respect for you abates. Therefore a wise prince ought to hold a third course by choosing the wise men in his state, and giving to them only the liberty of speaking the truth to him, and then only of those things of which he inquires, and of none others; but he ought to question them upon everything, and listen to their opinions, and afterwards form his own conclusions. ... he ought to be a constant inquirer, and afterwards a patient listener concerning the things of which he inquired; also, on learning that any one, on any consideration, has not told him the truth, he should let his anger be felt.
(Nicolò Machiavelli, The Prince, 1532, in my favourite translation by W. K. Mariott)
There's a very good reason why Shangque is the person chosen here. Consider this question, immediately after the last one:
That question is only worth asking because he already knows something else, in such a way that he doesn't have to think about it: Shangque does not lie. And this is not a hypothetical "would you kill me if?". It's a question about a recent manifest fact, a question to which Shangque must know the answer. Shangque does not lie. Therefore, he expects to get the actual answer.
I think it's an important character point, incidentally, that he habitually asks questions because he wants to know the answer. A lot of people in positions of authority habitually ask questions they don't want the answers to at all. It's tedious.
He gets the answer "Why would I kill you? You are the most important person for me. You are like a brother. I would never betray you."
Shangque does not lie. This answer also corresponds with what Xiao Lanhua has independently told him about Shangque: "I think he is quite affectionate towards you. He would never betray you."
Consequently, he accepts it as true. Even though he is hilariously baffled, at this point, on how to process it or what to do with it.
Black Dragon has, just by being himself in a crisis, put his shoulder to the icebreaking machine and given it a tremendous shove.
We know that the new information has sunk in, and been believed, because he acts on that belief for the rest of the story, not hesitating to show weakness and ask the questions that he really wants help with.
In the Human Realm story, Shangque is an absolute star. He does not hesitate to approach and offer support, asking what is on his lord's mind, and increasingly getting this sort of thing in response:
Shangque does exactly the right thing here and offers fellow-feeling instead of an answer he hasn't got: what he says is roughly "same here, bro, and I don't know either". The "wait, does that mean this is normal?" look he gets in response is just cute.
That look is also saying "?!? ... huh. That actually helped." And because DFQC's inner child is the kind of child who only needs to be shown anything once, he re-uses this discovery by giving exactly the same kind of support to Xiao Lanhua, not much later.
Shangque may not quite understand why all this is happening, but his observation is accurate and he repeatedly intervenes to help process the difficult emotions without disaster - even physically. And always patiently and kindly. (I found out how to GIF!!)
I especially appreciate Shangque's habit of basing his words and actions on the facts directly in front of him, rather than on speculation. He can see what is happening, and he can see what sort of support is needed, and it just doesn't occur to him to do anything other than give it.
Dongfang Qingcang continues to turn to Shangque for advice right to the end of the story, including this desperate"how can I fix this?" moment in episode 33.
Shangque continues to hold up his end of the conversation with common sense, integrity, and kindness, as best he can, and Dongfang Qingcang continues to listen carefully, apply his own, admittedly sharper mind, and draw his own conclusions - right to the end.
When there isn't a question, Shangque listens and says nothing at all. In this scene, Dongfang Qingcang moves his hands as he talks, which he very rarely does. He's being extraordinarily trusting here: very unlike his body language back in the "Why didn't you kill me?" scene.
This little movement towards him! 💔
When Shangque briefly regrets a truthful answer, and follows it with "I shouldn't have said that," it's not because he's concerned about any likely response, but because he saw that it hit home, and he felt perhaps it was unkind:
But he's right, and has very much earned the right to say "stop that". The response, after a moment, is this beautiful, wordless gesture in which Dongfang Qingcang serves Shangque's wine first, in a silent "No, you were right. I was in pain, and being a dick about it. And you're still here. I'm sorry. And thank you".
Anyway this is a beautiful relationship which develops, with some really nice writing and acting, tells us a lot about both characters, and deserves some appreciation.

Hey, snagging sexy grandpa worked for Feng Jiu!
PS Gotta love Lin Bo Rui carving himself a hell of a niche as faithful second in command waiting 30K years for return of his supposedly demonic ruler who is clearly not as evil as it seems in a history is written by the victors scenario.

Romance With Blind Master. 8.
Story: 8
Acting: 10
Chemistry: 10🔥
Comparable to: Nice Witch (kdrama); Time to Fall in Love (cdrama) ; The Masked Lover (twdrama)
This was such a nice little gem of a surprise. It’s cliche as they come, two identical twins switch places (one nice, one mean) and the one twin falls for the rich man. It’s been done a dozen of times but this one is done very nicely and it’s a very short drama with a unique spin to the storyline. Main female lead, Yan Zhi Chao, plays both character brilliantly and has exceptional chemistry with the male lead, Lin Bo Rui. It does have its eye rolling moments and some extra cheese to it, but for me that was part of it’s charm.

would i truly like a drama without a little bit of bromance in the least
[ID: gifs from the series “Love Between Fairy and Devil.” Dongfang Qingcang is standing facing his brother, with Shangque standing observing them both from a couple paces back. Dongfang Qingcang raises an arm abruptly, causing his brother to flinch. Xun Feng watches closely as Dongfang Qingcang further extends the hand and drops it heavily on his shoulder in what is an awkward attempt at an encouraging pat. Shangque slowly smiles, looking amused and fond. /end ID]

Drama Gossip: Kiseki: Dear to Me (奇蹟)
Source: Google Images
Bai Zong Yi, an exemplary student with dreams of becoming a doctor, is unexpectedly drawn into the world of an injured gangster named Fan Ze Rui. This unexpected encounter disrupts their tranquil routines and sends their lives into a whirlwind. Their initial awkwardness gradually gives way to familiarity and eventually blossoms into a heartfelt connection.
Just as their love story begins to unfold, Fan Ze Rui's criminal past catches up with him.
Source: MyDramaList (2023)
It's Been A While, Taiwan BLs
I haven't enjoyed a Taiwan BL drama as much as I did with Kiseki in so long. Seriously, this drama scratched the itch that has been around for a very long time. The last time I wholeheartedly loved a Taiwan BL drama was when I watched History3: Trapped, so you can imagine how long that metaphorical itch has been around. Hell, I've rewatched Trapped multiple times just because no Taiwan BL came close to how Trapped made me feel.
Anyhow, lets get on with Kiseki. I might have enjoyed it and maybe I love it, but it is not a perfectly well-done drama. If Kiseki had been given more episodes, or full-length episodes, the flow of the plot could have been much better and smoother. There were times when I thought the drama felt like it was rushing through key plotlines. For example, the whole Aidi going into jail to protect Zongyi from being attacked again and that event that happened right before Aidi went in, it could have had more light shone on it. Additionally, I had hoped for at least one more episode of angst and separation with both couples after the time jump. Of course, because Kiseki was only given 13 30-minutes episodes, I will applaud the writer(s) for how the story played out. It was not perfect but it was not unacceptably bad either.
Moving on to the characters themselves. I will honest here, I decided to follow the release of each episode weekly for Aidi and Chenyi. Going into this drama, I always knew the second lead couple was going to be my favourite. However, what surprised me was how invested I was with Zerui and Zongyi too. I liked the way their relationship developed before the time jump. It was after the time jump that the vibe fell off a little. That part felt rushed, even though it was beautiful, it was rushed. Likewise, I was enjoying the pining and undiscovered feelings between Aidi and Chenyi. Despite absolutely loving this couple, I thought the way the writer(s) wrote Chenyi's feelings for his adoptive father/boss and Aidi was weak. We should have been allowed to see Chenyi's struggle with his feelings. Also, I didn't like how Chenyi explained the difference in what he felt for his adoptive father/boss and Aidi, it was as if the writing became lazy near the end.
Like I said, if only Kiseki was given more time or at least more episodes. Many problems I had with this drama was tied to the lack of development due to the shortage of time. Regardless, the plot holes were not obvious or huge so the show still went on seamlessly.
2023 seem to be the year for Taiwan productions and I am living for it.
Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
P.S.: So many cameos and I couldn't get any History3: Trapped ones? This might be my roman empire.
More production(s) from Taiwan here: Marry My Dead Body (關於我和鬼變成家人的那件事) | Oh No! Here Comes Trouble (不良執念清除師) |

If I had a nickel for every time Lin Bo Rui has played the second in command to a supreme ruler of an immortal night themed kingdom that was believed to have died 30K years ago in a war with an immortal fairy kingdom, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it’s happened twice.

The blood of youth
Year : 2022 | Country : CN | Nb of episodes: 40
My rate: 9/10
Synopsis :
As a disciple of the Lei Clan, Lei Wu Jie can't wait to prove his worth as a hero, but as a novice who has only just entered the martial arts world, the path to becoming a true hero is difficult, at best. Undeterred by the challenges that lay before him, Wu Jie makes his way to the great city of Xue Yue, certain that his time there will mould him into the hero he so longs to be. Unfortunately, his trip to Xue Yue is waylaid by an unfortunate mishap at the Villa of Fallen Snow.
As proprietor of the Villa, Xiao Se has all the looks of a wealthy innkeeper, but he can barely afford to keep the inn open. Struggling with his business, Xiao Se is less than pleased when his establishment is damaged by the antics of a young, wannabe hero. Demanding that he make amends for the damage he caused, Wu Jie can think of only one way to appease the grumpy Xiao Se, and that is to take him with him. With no other options, the two set off together without any idea of what fate has in store for them.
Befriending several people along the way, including Wu Xin, Sikong Qian Luo, Tang Lian, and Ye Ruo Yi, Xiao Se and Wu Jie soon find themselves caught up in an adventure far greater than any of them could have imagined. While facing countless dangers, the group stumbles upon a trail of clues that tie one of them to a battle for the throne that took place over a decade ago. The question is, is the intrepid hero ready and willing to take his rightful place as the leader of the people? And where will the brotherhood go from there?
Main cast :
Li Hong Yi as Xiao Se/Xiao Chu He
Liu Xue Yi as Wu Xin/ Ye An Shi
Ao Rui Peng as Lei Wu Jie
Lin Bo Yang as Sikong Qian Luo
Flora Dai as Ye Ruo Yi
Li Xin Ze as Tang Lian
My thoughts on this drama :
Okay… this drama is AWESOME. I wasn't expecting much, due to it being Wuxia style and thus not "fantasy" enough for me. But man was I wrong. It's just so so good.
I loved every second of it. They're all bringing such vibrant characters to life, with the emotions just right. I trully enjoyed the variety of characters the show offered. I laughed and cried and raged and applauded! I trully lived the story from beginning to end.
A very very good point: romance is never the focus of the story. It's there, in the background, but it's first and foremost a story about brotherhood, friendship and bonds against adversity.
100% recommended!
A Favorite ?
YES

Age: Appear to be in his 20’s.
Birthday: Unknown
Family: None.
Race: Dragon Clan
Sexuality: He’s never given it much thought.
Personality: Sweet, honest and loyal. He has sworn to be the most trustworthy and honest person in the world. Despite all the things he has seen and gone through, he can be a little naive at times.
Weapons: Sword, fire-breath, claws, teeth, magic (water & wood)
PHYSICAL - HUMAN
Build: Athletic
Height: 185 cm (6')
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Skin: Fair
Facial claim: Lin Bo Rui
PHYSICAL - DRAGON
Length: Approximately 25 m.
Scale colour: Black (shifting in different shades of black and greys, but generally appears black)
Eye colour: Red
BACKGROUND (tw: mentioning of injury of a child, bullying, attempted murder and self-mutilation)
Shangque became an orphan when he was just a few years old. He isn’t sure exactly how old, he barely remembers the “before time”, but he does remember his parents hiding him and saying they’d return when it was safe. They never did. He would later find out that his parents had been killed and their bodies used for medicine and magic. For a while, he stayed on the mountain where they had left him, but eventually he wandered into human settlements, but he could never stay long. He might look mostly human, but it is obvious to anyone who sees him that he is not. Bullied, beaten and hunted, he kept on wandering from place to place, eating the food he could find, but never stealing. Several times he was tricked by people pretending to be nice and take him in, just for them to try and drug and kill him, wanting his bones, skin and scales.
At eleven, he had taught himself to appear fully human, but never for long (just as he struggled to stay fully dragon) and life became a little better, but he still needed to fight for survival. Even before that, though, he learned to rip off some of his scales to sell. A painful procedure that left him vulnerable at that area until the scales grew out again.
By being careful, he managed to survive and live to adult age. As an adult, he takes what job he can, but usually as a guard for rich people.

Historical Guardian Fic Recs
This list is shorter than I thought it would be, that’s why it mixes Guardian and Weilan derivs.
Guardian AUs:
wait for it, wait by sarahyyy
Angst, unspecified period. A tragic romance between a courtier and a general.
The Crimson Lotus by bonibaru
Longfic, inspired by The Scarlet Pimpernel, with espionage, double identities, etc. One of fandom classics.
Luolin (Luo Fei/Lin Nansheng Detective L x The Rebel crossover)
We Both Know How This Ends by MoDaoZuHolyShit
China in 1950s, the fallout after the Rebel canon featuring an old love and the grey reality of the beginning era. Angst, Politics, amazing writing
Kiss Away Your Tears by xiermifen
Long fic, which takes a few liberties with Detective L and the Rebel canon but delivers some of my favourite Luolin scenes to date and introduced me to the ship in the first place 🥺.
Warning for Chen Moqun/Lin Nansheng at the beginning.
No shame in having loved by ForErusSake
Follows the story of the Rebel, with added Luo Fei into the mix, observing LNS through a series of meetings. Atmospheric, sad, but with an optimistic ending.
Warning for CMQ/LNS
Weilan derivatives:
An official’s position is one of an emaciated steed: On a high stage, where icy tears are difficult to shed | 一任宫长骁瘦 台高冰泪难流 by MoDaoZuHolyShit, Qi Heng/Bo Li, Ancient China
A short story about two childhood sweethearts meeting on two opposite sides of the war.
Bai Qi's gamble by mici_micelle, Ying Ji/Bai Qi, unspecified
It’s not very specific in terms of when exactly it takes place, but the fic makes a nice use of Bai Qi being an actual general during Ying Ji’s rule, and the idea behind the fic is great. Angst, politics
the pair of lovebirds that Loneliness painted by djjdkim. Feng Yong/Chi Rui, WWII
Arranged marriage, jealousy and the war in the background: I enjoy this story a lot (though it’s not entirely accurate, being on the more optimistic side.)
Clockworks and Cold Steel by MoDaoZuHolyShit, Lin Nansheng/Yang Xiuxian, Shanghai 1930s and onwards, WIP
Following the canon of the Rebel, adding YXX for more intrigue, mystery and romance - it’s amazing, even though still in progress. Includes art and it so well-written ❤
