Bitter Truth
#mdzs#lan qiren#madam lan#they were in love and I will die on that hill#mdzs art#my art#in chinese flower language blue gentians mean elegance purity and bitter truth#I like the hanahaki take where a couple in love are aware of each other’s feelings and return them but are unable to act on it#just more suffering for them to go through :)#you can’t tell me that through those long years of isolation with only the visits being her children (maybe) her a-hole husband and her BIL#that they didn’t bond over the boys and games of weiqi and heated discussions about Lan regulations and possibly#just maybe#started to wish for that ever dangerous ‘what if’#because they could never have it—he could never act on it and she was leashed in place#he might work up his courage to go against the rules for her but by that point she’s dead#and he can only punish himself and push himself to higher expectations than before and become what his brother failed to be#be what she needed even after she’s gone and instead protect her sons the way he could not protect her
