[parameciam]

ugh today was a bad day and i don't even know why i feel like this (i guess it's just the burnout. it's always the burnout at this point). so i'm going to torture the blorbos to at least have an outlet to cry a little (a lot, because the chosen blorbos for tonight writing session are: songyu)

since it's still wip wednesday, here's the summary and tentative tags for this modern AU:

i have it fully outlined and i'm bubbling with so many ideas! i know the target audience is: me and maybe two other people if i'm lucky, but i really really REALLY want to write this.

Spoiler for one more fanartbook, this time is multi-fandom one. There are the characters from QJJ: Yao Wenyu and Qiao Tianya. I love this couple, but they brought so much angst in my life 😭 So every time I draw them I try to make them happy.

Ok I went back and finished 站住别跑 as like a palate cleanser so I wouldn't have to go to bed sad and. Now I understand why people say movies can be so bad they're funny. Like what the hell was that. Yes I did skip through every scene that didn't have Yuwen in it. And I was right to cause he was the only character who was even close to interesting anyway.

为了考古松宇看了一些之前的作品，so far 的总结： 1） 《站住！别跑！》是个什么鬼？即便是为了宇文那帅气的脸，我也只憋到一半就看不下去了。3/10

2）《最后一镜》不得不说真嫂子就是香，哈。Story's kind of fucked up but in a good way. 而且有谁能拒绝湿漉漉的松导呢？11/10

3）《拼车》 just a very fun 5-minute romp. Efficient storytelling. 8/10

4）《挡马夺刀》超级赞！！太好看了！虽然但是没想到咱松导驾驭这种胡子拉碴的造型也是手拿把掐，而且南宋时期确实很适合让松导演那种。要是松导最后能be一下子就更好了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈对不起我有病。15/10

5）《发小儿万岁》还没看，但听说很好哭。好好好，我备好纸巾了。

所以。。。宇文老师什么时候多演戏呗？成全一下我这个lsp哈哈哈哈

🌀❄️🌤️🌧️🌪️ for the wip asks!! (- this is J btw👻)

Hey J ! 🥰💜💛

🌀 -> From a HuaYin wip that i have no idea if i'll be able to finish (that has a playlist and a title and many words already but...)

"Break me in / Teach us to cheat / And to lie, and cover up / What shouldn't be shared"

or, Yin Yu's fascination with his Chengzhu slowly turns into the unstoppable desire of being someone else, someone he knows he's not ever going to be. He would give anything to be able to fill that space... and that's leading him to certain ruin.

❄️ -> Snippet from a HuaLian with different third meeting wip:

🌤️ -> From the first part of my perpetually unfinished ShuaAke post canon AU

🌧️ -> From the second part of the same ShuAke post canon AU

🌪️ -> From my SongYu wip, it can be summarized with....

Modern AU, Lots of hurt / Some comfort, Sun and Moon coded (in the most painful way), Slow burn, Teacher/Student relationship, Disability related discussions

Thank you for asking, J :3 This was really fun ehehe

songyu deserves so much better...

[huasahyo]

I have read Qiang Jin Jiu and honestly think I'll never recover

(Spoilers ahead!)

Oh god, where to start this? Maybe I should start with the very begging: I didn't understood shit. I just saw a kid being tortured and lots of information. When I felt it was too much, I went after the translated map and OMG that was so helpful! Bless the translators for that. After looking carefully at the map, things started to make sense.

As the story went, before the end of book one I was not very familiar with all the characters. I kept mistaking Hai Liangyi for Hua Siqian lol. But during my reading I started to take some notes and was never confused again. The thing is, this book has A LOT of characters and some of them are introduced early but only become major players later (Yao Wenyu, Hua Xiangyi...)

Even though this huge ensemble would make characters easy to forget, this doesn't happen. The author managed to create likeable and rememberable characters pretty easily??? I fell in love with many of them at first read, even if they didn't show up a lot. And there were characters that got me completely off guard, I wasn't expecting them to be so cool and relevant, BUT THEY WERE (Fei Sheng, Kong Liu)! And the antagonists were also brilliant, I love a good story where everyone has a point and no one is actually evil: People from Biansha had their truths and in a war there are no right sides, Xue Xiuzhuo wanted the best for Dazhou (even though I can't forgive what the did to my baby Yuanzhuo), and Li Jianting??? WHAT A LEGEND! Also, Feng Quan plot twist left me speechless, what an interesting character. Every character was very human (in the good and bad way), everyone had their own goals and beliefs. I actually might do a second post screaming about every character because I have a lot to say about them. (hello hasen my love)

The Plot??? Perfectly done. AND WELL EXPLAINED! I was always a little afraid of reading novels with a lot of politics, but I really dug this one. The problems with grains, provisions, registry, army and BRO THERE WAS EVEN SOME AGRARIAN REFORM SHIT

The way this author write the MOST well written battles I have read, without using any magic... it's just... I never thought I would be so enthusiastic about cannons, rocks and GRAINS.

The conflicts in Zhongbo could be all repetitive, but they weren't at all. Each prefecture that Lanzhou took back had a interesting story.

The war with Biansha was also brilliantly written. The way Amu'er was attacking Dazhou from the inside out and the scorpions with those hammers??? My man was a genius. Sadly, he could never have predicted Bai Cha and her son.

Talking about that, the family relationships are a great point in this. Seeing flashbacks about Lanzhou, Ji Mu, Ji Gang and Hua Pinging made me CRY! They were so happy... And seeing Xiao Chiye with his brother and HIS DAD LIKE... Xiao Fangxu and Ji Gang best daddies. Fei Sheng and Yin Chang too, what a beautiful chapter the one that they talk after Fei Sheng has a fight with Qiao Tianya.

Talking about Qiao Tianya, it was refreshing to see a novel with more LGBT characters. The secondary pairings were great, they didn't steal the spotlight from cezhou, but were very enjoyable (even though THAT happened between Songyu). I just wished we could have seen more Qihua moments and OH GOD KONG LIU AND LUO MU??? That got me truly off guard, wasn't expecting at all. Also, I found really interesting how Lanzhou basically got a LGBT parade following him at the end, that was truly the gayest empire ever. I have so many headcanons here, let me scream them: Xue Xiuzhuo is AroAce, Li Jianting is a non-binary legend and Huo Lingyun a Bi King. Also, Fei Sheng is not straight. Said it.

The little animals in this??? I WAS TERRIFIED WHEN LANG TAO XUE JIN FELL IN THAT HOLE YALL I THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA DIE. But luckily he didn't. Meng, Hunu, Feng Shuang Ta Yi were all the cutest, I need more novels with cats.

THE CHILDREN - Ding Tao, Li Xiong, Xiao Xun and Jiran. They served chaos, humor and cuteness. I really liked whenever they showed up.

THE LADIESSS - If you have read my other posts you know I love some powerful women. This story did not disappoint me in that sense. Hua Hewei had some despicable acts, but she really got everyone on her hands despite never leaving the inner palace, good for her. Hua Xiangyi is a way better version of her aunt, my girl was smart and cared for the people, an amazing woman. QI ZHUYINNN owns my life, I really adored the fact that she was a badass and that she never hated the fact she was born a girl, slay. Bai Cha was really out there helping women that were sold and their children, that is some real sorority there. Lu Yizhi was so kind, loved seeing her interactions with Lanzhou. Li Jianting was everything, her story was one of the saddest and yet she was doing her best to become a ruler. Duo Er'lan was amazingly brave, even more than Hasen, mad respect for her.

And last, but definitely not least, there is cezhou. I have no words to explain how much I adored these two. The way both of them got their own development and had their own private goals and went after them, so good. They are so well written that I wanna scream. The chapters that are focused on Lanzhou's feelings are not big in number, even when he is the main character, his feelings are shown in discreet ways (the handkerchief!) and most of the time we don't know what he is plotting or thinking. But when we take a peek at what's going inside of his heart, it's... astonishing. And I love seeing how he actually cared for the side characters, even though he doesn't show a lot.

And Ce'an kind of caught me off guard, I thought he was going to be a totally different character but he went and delivered

Xiao Chiye was a perfect fit for Lanzhou and Lanzhou was a perfect fit for Xiao Chiye: they were both in similar situations where only them could understand each other's suffering, and after they leave Qudu we see how much of a match made in heaven they are (not just romantically, but strategically).

THE SEXUAL TENSION AT THE BEGINNING YALL... They were scheming/fighting and flirting at the same time. Iconic.

Read this, you won't regret it!

By the way, I started reading the story in December and finished by March, but I completely forgot to post this! College has been frying my brain these days.

Hopefully I will resume my Sha Po Lang reading and come back here to tell my opinions on the book. (Not sure when though.)

See ya!

[izartn]

I knew Qiao Tianya would end up smashing his Guqin when Yao Wenyu died (and I suspected well before spoiling myself on the last 15% of the novel that Wenyu would die bc of the poison), but damn. It hurt. Classics are classics for a reason, and I totally get that Tianya, after all his life was ruined and used for politics, those revelations from Fengquan by the end, and losing also Wenyu, decided to go and left the courtly world behind. That he went with the little monk healer gives me a bit a peace; he's gonna end up doing good I think, for himself and others, but in the small scale not worrying much about the world again. A very Chinese ending.

I really liked the romance between them in the background; it felt very.... Mmm. A last opportunity to learnt and for passion for both Yao Wenyu also Yunzhou and Tianya sometimes Songyue. Aish. Very melancholic.

The Life of a Cannon Fodder Mother-in-Law - 38

Chapter 38: The Step-Mother-in-Law 5

The two stared at each other, and Ge Gen was the first to give in. "Manyue, lend me the jade pendant. I'll find a way to return it to you later." He gritted his teeth and said, "I can also write an IOU."

"No one knows better than me how much money you make every year and how much money you have in your family." Liu Yuniang said unceremoniously: "Based on the number of times you give gifts to Yan Songyu, it will take at least eight to ten years to return my jade pendant. If you get sick or injured during this period, who should I ask to get back my things?" She waved her hand: "No need to discuss." Ge Gen glared at her: "How can you agree to give me the jade pendant?" 

Liu Yuniang pondered for a moment: "You can use your shop in exchange." "You're dreaming!" Ge Gen scolded. Liu Yuniang spread her hands, "If you don't want to, then forget it. This kind of thing requires mutual consent, and I'm not forcing you. Why are you so fierce?" She yawned, "It's getting late, I have to rest. Hurry up and get out!"

Ge Gen's gifts were already prepared, and with the jade pendant, the birthday gift would be very suitable. Without the jade pendant, the things be bought would probably be the shabbiest among all the Li family's guests. He went there to give Yan Songyu face, not to embarrass her.

"Exchange it for something else." Liu Yuniang closed her eyes: "I'm not interested in the other things in your house. Unless it's the house deed." "You..." Ge Gen clenched his teeth: "Why are you so unreasonable?"

Liu Yuniang looked at him and said in a cold tone, "I told you, if you dared to take that silver and buy those gifts, we will separate. So, if you really exchange it for the shop or the house deed, it will be my property and have nothing to do with your Ge family!" Ge Gen: "..." How could he give it to her under such circumstances? Just as he was about to say a few more words to persuade her, he saw the woman in front of him wave her hand impatiently: "It's absolutely impossible for me to give in. I'm not buying or selling by force. You go back and think about it yourself. Get out quickly and don't delay me going to bed." Throughout the night, Ge Gen tossed and turned. The bed was not big, and the father and son were squeezed together like pickles. Listening to his son's snoring next to him, his mind was racing... He didn't dare to make the decision on his own for such a big matter. At dawn, he knocked on his mother's door. When Old Madam Ge learned about it, she was immediately furious: "She really dares to say anything! She must be dreaming!" Ge Gen patted her on the back: "Mom, don't be too angry, or you'll make yourself ill. I've thought about it carefully. Manyue is in her thirties this year, and even if she gets married again, it's impossible for her to have more children. She has been planning for the siblings these two days... According to this situation, no matter how much stuff she has in the future, she should give it to the two children. Therefore... it's fine if we give her some things. Just treat it as if we were dividing the family in advance, and give Guangxing's share too..." This explanation seemed to make sense. But the old madam felt unhappy: "We are giving gifts for the good of the children, why doesn't she understand?"

"She is brainless and stubborn, and it's impossible to reason with her." Ge Gen sighed: "Mom, we will go to the Li residence in the afternoon, so it's important to get the jade pendant first. When this matter is settled, I will coax her into giving it back. If it doesn't work, just as I said just now, treat those things as being given to Guangxing."

The old madam was unwilling to give away the ancestral property. Even if it was to her grandson's mother, and these things would fall into her grandson's hands sooner or later, she still didn't want to. However, as things stood now, there was no way to steal it, so this is the solution. She looked at the sky and said tentatively: "At this hour, people are still sleeping. How about you try again?" Before Ge Gen answered, there was a sound of the door opening outside, and it came from the main room. The mother and son looked at each other and completely gave up the idea of ​​stealing the jade pendant. Ge Gen asked tentatively: "Mom, what should we do now?" The old madam sighed. "Go and invite her in!"  Liu Yuniang expected that the mother and son would compromise. After entering, she asked directly: "How did the discussion go? What do you plan to give me?" The house was a shelter from the wind and rain, so there can be no risking it. In addition, Yan Niang was still pregnant and it was not suitable for her to move. Therefore, the house cannot be given. But the shop was the basis for the family's survival, and it can't be given away. The old madam was in a dilemma. Ge Gen pondered for a long time and said, "I'll give you the shop." Liu Yuniang clapped her hands together and said, "Okay! Let's change clothes and go to the Yamen to change the owner." Ge Gen: "...I meant I'll give you the deed first. There's no rush to change the owner. You know, I have to hurry to the birthday celebration." "It won't take long to change the owner, and it won't delay you attending the birthday celebration." Liu Yuniang smiled half-heartedly. "So you're still plotting. If you don't change the owner, the shop will still be yours. Do you think I'm a fool?" Even though the old madam was well prepared, she couldn't help but feel flustered when she heard about the ownership change, and blurted out, "Then let's not change it." Ge Gen was slightly stunned. Liu Yuniang nodded: "It's better not to make the exchange. I can't bear it." After saying that, she walked out the door. As soon as she left, Ge Gen immediately leaned into his mother's ear and analyzed: "Mom, I have thought carefully about it. I will give her the shop. She has only been to the shop a few times in all the years she has been here. She doesn't know how to do business at all. By then, the shop will still be in our hands. At worst, we will just rent it and pay her rent every month... Although we have a falling out, we are a family after all. She will never abandon us and choose someone else... With the two children here, we have the final say as to when and how much rent will be paid."

The shop originally belonged to the Ge family, and if they really didn't pay the rent, outsiders wouldn't gossip.

After hearing what her son said, the old madam had no objection to giving up the shop. Liu Yuniang had just finished bathing when she was invited over by the two of them. The old madam was unhappy and her expression was ugly. "I can give you the shop in exchange for the jade pendant, but from now on, you are not allowed to mention this to outsiders. Not even your parents. That jade pendant belongs to my Ge family. Do you understand what I mean?" Liu Yuniang nodded. "I understand. We can't let outsiders know about our family's dispute because of this jade pendant, so as not to embarrass Yan Songyu. " This time it went well. After Ge Gen changed his clothes, he took her to the Yamen. He was afraid that he would not be able to go back to wash up in time, so he gave the master a few copper coins as a bribe. In less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Yuniang got the brand new shop title. Ge Gen looked at the smile on her face and said, "We still have a lot of goods piled inside. Let's do this; from now on, I will pay you rent. I will give you the same amount as other shops on the same street. I won't let you suffer a loss." Liu Yuniang didn't answer and went back home. She was displeased, which was what Ge Gen expected. To be honest, he felt a little happy.

In his opinion, she must be jealous because he wanted to buy a decent gift with the shop and send it to the Li family. Knowing that she still cared about him... was a good thing, and Ge Gen became happier the more he thought about it. He successfully obtained the jade pendant, prepared a decent birthday gift, and it was very likely that Zhang Manyue was reluctant to leave him, so in the end the shop still belonged to him. Ge Gen was in a good mood all the way, and after arriving at the Li family's house, the smile on his face never fell. Madam Ge was also smiling so hard that her teeth couldn't be seen. What was even more joyful was that at the birthday banquet, a wealthy businessman said that he would order a lot of goods after visiting their shop. For Ge Gen, if there was anything upsetting, it was probably Yan Songyu and Master Li standing together to greet the guests. At first glance, they looked like a couple with a deep relationship. Feeling both happy and sad, he drank too much. It was already late at night when mother and son returned home, and Ge Gen fell asleep. The old madam was pestered by Ge Guangping and his wife asking about the overall situation of the Li family... On a day like today, if Ge Guangping showed up, it would be awkward for Master Li. Therefore, neither Guangping nor his wife went. When Ge Gen woke up, it was already bright and the sun was high outside. He squinted his eyes and was in a daze for a long time before gradually coming back to his senses. He was the only one on the small bed, Ge Guangxing had already left.

Suddenly someone pushed open the door. He looked up and saw a slender figure standing in the backlight. They had been married for more than ten years, and he recognized Zhang Manyue at a glance. He rubbed his brows and said, "Pour me a bowl of water." Liu Yuniang didn't pour the water, but walked directly to the bed. "I have something to tell you." Ge Gen was still not clear-headed. "Tell me!" "It's not a big deal," Liu Yuniang looked at his face and said, "Yesterday you said I can't do business. I think it makes sense. Compared with a shop, I want a house to settle down in. What you said before was also right. I can't live in my parents' house with my children forever. That would be too troublesome for them. So, I plan to sell the shop and buy a small house, so that I can have a place to go after I am separated from you."

Hearing this, Ge Gen woke up instantly. "You want to sell the shop!?" Liu Yuniang nodded: "Speaking of which, the location of your shop is really good. As soon as I let the word out, there were already three middlemen who want to bring people to see it. I have inquired secretly. As long as the price is right, I can get the money within ten days." She reminded: "I came to you just to tell you to sell the goods as soon as possible, or move them somewhere else." Ge Gen: "..." He never expected it! He really never dreamed that Zhang Manyue would be so bold and sell it directly after getting the shop! "What if I don't move?" Liu Yuniang said seriously, "The new owners will have to chase you away, so I can only sell it at a lower price. Don't worry, I'm only buying a small house, I should still be able to afford it!" Ge Gen: "..." What is he worried about? Whether she can afford it or not is none of his business!

The most important thing is that the shop is the ancestral property of the Ge family and cannot be sold!
