#ooo also another character i liked was the scorpion king

[neuronal]

so sorry about the [gestures to finishing shl] skdjdkshdakdh who would you say is your fav character? did you have a fav part? 💖💖🫶🫶🫶🍅💞

lexiiiiii, my life has been divided into two parts bc of this show: pre-shl and post-shl dhksajdf

also aaaaah that's such a hard question to answer, each and every character was written so well! but if i was forced to choose, it would be wen kexing simply because i love his character's arc and i love the subtle development that occurs over time to make him realize he is worthy of love and forgiveness and that he can let go of the past, that his mistakes don't define him and that there is always something to live for :(

BUT i would be doing incredible injustice if i don't mention gu xiang since her journey overlaps so heavily w wen kexing's and the relationship these two have has truly taken everything out of me (and is arguably the highlight of the show imo). i still do not agree with what happened in ep 35 (SHL SPOILERS just in case) like she was the light in the dark, a symbol of hope, the living proof that wen kexing could retain his compassion in such a dreadful environment and the fact that she was raised to be kind and innocent in spite of the hardships the both of them must have gone through... it does not make sense for wen kexing to get his happy ending when she doesn't!!! (and it's not even fair to call it a happy ending, we don't see it in the show, but it's not wrong to assume that her death also revived his trauma about letting the wrong person in (like it was with zhao jing back then) and regardless of everything, she was his family! she saved him just as much as he saved her! she deserved to live a long life!!!)

apart from zhou zishu, other characters i liked were tragicomic ghost and beauty ghost but again, they did not get the ending they deserved :( i was so happy about liu qianqiao finally moving on from yu qiufeng, and then THAT happened....like it completely defeated the entire purpose 😐

as for my fav part....hdkfsjd there are so many!!! i will not be able to answer this, the show is a perfect blend of comedy and found family and love and forgiving yourself. i love the whole theme about how 'redemption' is not sth that is given by others, it's what you choose for yourself when you let go of your past mistakes/grudges, and decide you are worthy of kindness

sorry, this is so long dskjf i'm currently head empty only shl, and i'm still reeling, so my thoughts are kind of all over the place, but thank u so much for letting me talk about it!!! 🌹🌺🌷🌸🪷
