Sannyo meets Yan Yu

From the Touhou fan shooter: "Chaos of Black Loong"

A Smoking Dragon who's actually a dragon

My translation of the Romance describes Yan Yu as "a man without a shred of merit" who only got his job by fawning over Huang Hao. Is that a fair assessment?

That may be true of the fictional character but the real man is more complicated than that.

Little is recorded about him, but we do know a few things. SGZ 43.4 has this passage discussing the men who succeeded Ma Zhong in Nanzhong.

Zhāng Biǎo was at the time a famous scholar, whose reputation for refinement surpassed Zhōng. Yán Yǔ showed ability for achievement and in affairs was meticulous and diligent. They continued [administering the south] after Zhōng, but their authority and merits both did not match Zhōng.

So, Chen Shou at least thought Yan Yu possessed an appreciable amount of ability, charges of corruption notwithstanding.

Shen Qiao and his kids disciples! (and a lil' bonus with YW's disciples)

[ID: A Thousand Autumns Digital Drawing. The first image depicts Duan Ying, who is smiling and waving to the audience. He is to the left of Yuwen Song, who is peaking out with a wary expression from behind Shen Qiao, holding onto his clothing. Shen Qiao has a cheerful expression; smiling with his eyes closed, with his hands on Song's head and Shiwu's shoulder. To Shen Qiao's right is Shiwu, whose hands are clasped together looking at the others with an excited expression. The second image depicts a chibi version of Bian Yanmei and Yu Shengyan with Shen Qiao's arms around them. Yanmei looks pleased, whilst Shengyan looks flustered. End ID]

If I had a penny for every time Liu Tao played a hot girlboss wife/gf to a flimsy gremlin of a scholar-strategist malewife, who also has a deeply homoerotic friendship with a sad little man he's trying to help become the crown prince I would have two pennies. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Oh and there's also Guy played by Wang Jinsong who has a long and complicated history with the aforementioned asshole father:

Anyway the point of this post is that if you have seen either Nirvana in Fire or The Advisor's Alliance you should definitely check out the other because you would definitely probably enjoy it very much.
