#xiang liu and cang xuan are my special baby girls idc how toxic they are

[prncssguya]

thinking about xiao yao love interests and how zhang wanyi is sooo good as cang xuan. i’m fascinated by the complexity of this character and his mastery of micro expressions. the repression and longing for xiao yao, the guilt he felt letting jing hurt her, the loveless marriages, the way he prioritizes power over love, finally having the power he always dreamed of but being powerless to hold on to the person he desires the most is all a recipe of his inevitable descent into madness

i truly believe xy is in love with xiang liu and she would choose him if it wasn’t impossible. he loves her but he is self sabotaging, toxic, and committed to keeping her at a distance because love is not an option for him. he can't abandon his warrior’s cause for her. only tushan jing has the most selfless love for her. only he is able to give up everything for her
