Just like before, Wei WuXian called his name with a grin, and he looked over as well.
From then on, he could never move his eyes again.
YALL SAY HELLO TO MY LONGEST REVIEW TILL DATE AND NEWEST OBSESSION- WANGXIAN
I've watched the donghua, I've read the novel, I'm watching the live adaptation AND ITS STILL NOT ENOUGH THE LOVE I HAVE FOR MDZS AND LITERALLY EVERYONE IN IT DHJSJAJSKSK MDZS OWNS MY ASS
Before I start simping over WangXian, I just wanna say- Nie Huaisang, you're perfect and adorable and I love you and your fan and your manipulative brain and can you set me up with your older brother please? 🛐
Also, I've said this before and I'll say this again- Lan Xichen deserves the world and lots of hugs. I just love how he's the sweetest character unless you're so dense you don't realise his brother is in love with you and still flirt with the poor guy relentlessly WE STAN A PROTECTIVE BROTHER ✋🏻 He's also the biggest WangXian shipper so there's that too.
"You were the only mistake he made!"
shut up lxc hes in love
"But he said... that he could not say with certainty whether what you did was right or wrong, but no matter what, he was willing to be responsible for all of the consequences alongside you."
imnotcryingimnotcryingimnotcryingimnotcrying
I have conflicting feelings for (leaning more towards LOATHING) Jin Guangyao bcs I can't really see past what he did with all of my children but at the same time, if my backstory was as bad as his, I'd go all murderer on everyone's asses too. Plus he was also the one who got through WWX's thick skull so bonus points, you see. Also, what he said in the last to LXC, LIKE THATS A LOVE CONFESSION IF IVE EVER HEARD ONE. Idek why people ship him with Nie Mingjue, he's obviously mine there's a better ship right in front of y'all. No, but I actually don't even think he deserves LXC in the first place but moving on-
Wen Ning, my son, the joy of my life- why did MXTX have to do the sweetest (yes, even more than LXC) kid in the book like that but I love how OP he got after that so itsok. I'll protect him and LWJ's (and mine) ducklings with my life.
I'm a slut for Wen Qing. That's it.
Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli deserved better. fuck you JGY
Xue Yang, WHY SO FUCKING HOT LET ME LOVE MY ALREADY 36727281818 LOVES IN PEACE OK I DONT WANNA ADD ANOTHER MORALLY BLACK CHARACTER TO THE LIST.
I love love A-Qing, she's THE bitch.
Am I the only one who got Xie Lian vibes from Xiao Xingchen??? (he even looks like XL in the donghua) Also, Song Lan sounds so similar to San Lang and yes these two made me miss HuaLian like no other.
The ducklings need a special mention too bcs I've adopted them and I'm a proud mother. I wanna hug Jin Ling so bad pls he's so cute in the donghua I feel like pinching his cheeks whenever he pouts. 😭 Also, his character development is like nobody's business. Lan Sizhui or A-Yuan is literally WangXian's love child and the way Lan Zhan was with him on their lunch date is going to be ingrained in my brain forever. Lan Jingyi, he's the most like WWX AND IM ALL FOR IT. My kids. 🥺🧿
I saved my husband for the last. Now see, I agree Jiang Cheng is an absolute asshole to literally everyone in the whole book but he's fr the most real and most relatable man there is. ALSO HE'S HOT- I was a goner the first time I saw him in the donghua. I don't condone all that he did and honestly, I hated him too most of the times, especially the way he was with both WWX AND JL but he's trying okay. 😭 He also gives me major Bakugou Katsuki vibes and that boy is everything to me so there's that. He just needs a good therapist and good sex and good booze and good communication skills AND IM FOREVER GONNA BE A JIANG CHENG APOLOGIST.
"WangJi, what happened?"
"Wei Ying."
Show me a better ship than WangXian. YOU CANT. (I'm not counting HuaLian and Kanej and ToryDarius that would be blasphemy)
He wasn't scared of falling. All these years, he'd fallen many times. But falling on the ground still hurt, after all. If someone was there to catch him, it'd be more than wonderful.
If HuaLian invented love, WangXian is the reason love exists.
Wei Ying, my man, he exudes chaotic bi and I'm all for it. For a self-proclaimed flirt, he was so dense for most of the book it wasn't even funny. 😭
This dude actually could not stop talking about how handsome and pretty Lan Wangji is to anybody who would listen to him and then he has the audacity to say he's straight. YOURE NOT STRAIGHT MY LOVE YOURE JUST A DUMBASS.
"You're really great. I like you. Or in other words, I fancy you, I love you, I want you, I can't leave you, I whatever you. I want to night-hunt with you for the rest of my life."
But when AND how he confessed?? No shit I was jumping between giggling and screaming bcs these two retards were finally together and they were finally happy and LWJ finally got the love of his life in his arms and I finally got the inherent happiness I get whenever my ship sails.
His backstory hurt like no other. I cried so many times for how it ended for him. This man, he lost so much and the way he died, I'm never getting over it. And yes, he was never the same after all that happened. But, people who say he turned evil can go fuck off bcs he didn't. And even if he did, I would support him fully bcs the bastards who wronged this perfection deserve Evil Wei Ying.
Lan WangJi was now the only one who stood by his side. Luckily, Lan WangJi was also the only one he wished to have by his side.
Lan Zhan is one of the best LIs I've ever read about. The way he fights, in the most literal sense, every fucking one for Wei Ying ajskkakskk my heart couldn't handle it really.
But what he hadn't expected was that when everyone feared him and flattered him, Lan WangJi scolded him right in his face; when everyone spurned him and loathed him, Lan WangJi stood by his side.
SOBBING
"You saw it with your own eyes?"
"He saw with his own eyes."
"You believe in him?"
"I do."
The way he trusts WWX and is always there for him. 😭 They're both so stupid ughhh if only they'd just talked like normal people instead of whatever homoerotic rivalry/tension they had going on (even though that was a treat in itself), I would've been spared from so much pain. But they got their happy ending in the end and that's all that matters.
"Wrong. Not 'us', but 'me'. I think the only person he's watching is you."
It's the way everyone knows LWJ is in love with WWX except WWX. Also, drunk LWJ? Cute. Jealous LWJ? Cuter. Drunk AND jealous LWJ? CUTEST.
It's not even the romance. The plot, the world-building, all the characters, the plot twists- its all so fucking good and mind-boggling. I honestly can't recommend MDZS enough. Seriously ppl, do yourself and me a favour and read this masterpiece. 🛐
PS- I still have the extra chapters to read and I'm kinda scared bcs I've actually been told they're traumatizing but it's more WangXian so I'm gonna do it! 😤
PPS- I live for WangXian fluff and the extras served. Also, we got the children and I'm in heaven. 😩 The last two chapters were everything oml. 😭 Most of these reminded me of the chibi version (especially the lotus seeds one) Wangji was such a big simp and WWX was really stupid asf- he couldn't stop talking about LWJ. 😭 They have my whole fucking heart. 😩🫶🏻
From then on, he could never move his eyes again.

Words cannot express how much I love Wen Ning 🥹🫶

@Izabella fr Wen Ning is the best boy 😩💕
GOSH YOUR REVIEW N THOSE QUOTES AHH too much for my heart your review itself is mind-boggling and i don't understand any of the plot but what i do understand is that it's extremely romantic and twisty and shit and I WILL BE THERE FOR IT 😭
@Summer AHHHH THIS BOOK WAS TOO GOOD. it is all of it! tho its a slow burn, v slowww but its soo good 😭 nd its not even much romance heavy- but the plot and characters (and i say this for every. single. character.) are just *chefs kiss* THE PINING IS TOP NOTCH ugh its been a month and im still not over them
Omg I love this review ❤️ I definitely have to read this now 😭💕
@Ri thankyou babe 🫶🏼 you definitely should its the best thing ever 😭
ever since i saw your username i've wanted to read your review for this book & i'm sad i'm just getting to it, but oml you've written it so beautifully! i wish i was half as eloquent as you! 😭nie huaisang is a literal genius, i thought he'd just be the goofy side character and omg ive never been more glad to be proven wrong. also JGY has made it a lil difficult for you to date his older brother, but i'm rooting for y'all 😂
i'm so glad you mentioned this but Lan Xichen and JGY was where it was at, like did you see their chemistry in the drama too? the eyes said it alllll.
wen ning and wen qing, jin zixuan, jiang yanli, jin ling, a-qing, xiao xingchen, song lan - they all deserved sm better honestly 🥲
A-yuan is literally wangxian's child and im all here for it. his and wen ning's relationship later is so heartwarming. also, their lunch date - they were so happy to see each other, my heart went 3
I honestly am a Jiang Cheng apologist too, i don't understand all the hate against him, his anger is 100% justified, he lost everything and everybody, it is valid for him to be angry at wwx for that! i felt so sad that his and wen ning's ship didn't sail, my man got the shortest end of the stick fr.
I can rant about LZ and WWX forever, no other love story - except maybe manacled - has come so close to my heart, i love them so freaking much honest to god it feels like my heart with combust with it. the way they met, the initial fights and bickering, having each other's back, their quests, getting separated, all that angst when wwx came back all dark and changed, lz's pinning and waiting for 16/13 bloody years and playing inquiry to see if wwx was alive and not losing hope, them seeing each other for the first time after his rebirth, lz fighting the whole ass world for him, them solving the mystery once and for all, their confession, lz keeping alcohol hidden for him, letting him break all the rules he wants, like sigh, its all too much 😭 also him singing wangxian to keep wwx awake was spain w/o the s lol :"""")
wwx's "so, you like mianmian?" never fails to make me laugh, he really is dense when it comes to romance. i would've gone feral had they not received their happy ending lmao.
amazing review tho 💗 and i'm sorry for the rant, i always get carried away when it comes to this book
maya, omggggg the way im loving your comment to finally meet someone who loves mdzs and completely understands how beautiful this is ahhh iloveyou for this 😭okay first thankyousm oml i never thought someone could call my review eloquent but im glad you loved it sm 😭🩷
fr i initially watched the donghua and i loved NHS since the beginning but then the reveal happened i was soo shocked omg pls dont remind me ive seen many ppl ship JGY with NMJ
no shit they all are so precious theres never a day when i dont think about them, especially now that im watching cql 😭
ahhahhah omg yesss i just saw that lunch date episode and hsjajakksak the way them 3 were together and he stuck to LWJ 😭😭
FINALLY SOMEONE WHOS A JC APOLOGIST THANKYOUU omg i see so many hating on him when he was just acting like any normal teenager would after going through what he did and his relationship with JL was so precious and yess i was not expecting that ship i honestly cant see jc with anyone but cmon he should have someone 😩
there it is manacled again istg i need to read it soon BUT YES I AGREE 100% NO OTHER COMPARES TO WANGXIAN tbh i get obsessed soo fast to characters and ships but lose interest equally fast and the fact that im still not over them speaks volumes (its barely been 2 months and ive already gone through the donghua, manhua, listen to wangxian on loop literally everyday and more than half of the live adaptation and istg the number of fanfics ive read is INSANEEEEE and im still not over them) OHMG STOP I WANNA REREAD THIS NOW 😭
fr hes soo dumbass i watch that scene literally everyday like broo the tension was unmatched and then you had to run your stupid mouth 🤦🏻♀️
thankyouu!!! 🥺🩷 dont be sorry plss i love the rantsss and lol i did an equally long (or longer?) rant i can relate with the need 😭
Amazing review, babe!!! The quotes are so good! I’m so happy you loved this so much! ❤️❤️❤️
muskaan NO I DO UNDERSTAND and I LOVE YOU WAY MORE trust me on that, I read it like two years ago and this is the first time I'm talking about it with somebody who loves it just as much, you don't know how happy that has made me!!JGY and NMJ what the actual fuck- 😀 I mean yeah NMJ did defend him and stuff but like, jgy ultimately (view spoiler) him and that too so brutally lmao, so idk how i feel about that lol. JGY x LXC though, hell yeah. yk in the gift giving scene when they're attending lectures at gusu, when JGY gives whatever they'd brought to LXC, the eye contact there was saying something--
i wanna rewatch the untamed too 😩 i'm so busy w uni stuff tho, i'll survive on some yt edits and then rewatch it when i'm free
all the moments when LWJ and WWX are on screen and that flute intrumental version of wuji is playing in the bg have a chokehold on me istg-
and the way Lan Zhan smiles all relieved and happy to see WWX when a-yuan is clinging to his leg in the bazaar- :"") oof pain
exactly, you said it, he was a teenager! like we all like to pretend to be on our high horses but most of us have faced the kind of insecurity that jiang chen was battling, (view spoiler)
tho with JL gone, there was no way for WWX and JC to go back to how they were, she was the glue that held them together 🥺
i will mention manacled and mdzs and tsoa everywhere possible till the day i die lmao 😂 but omg i'm excited for you to read it!
girl same, i dont even care sm for some real life couples as much as i care for wangxian, i'd die for them no joke. I have yet to watch the donghua though.
I WANNA REREAD IT TOO I MISS THEM 😭
also, there are some very funny youtube edits of untamed that you should def check them out, they'll have you in stitches. and the actress who played a-qing sang wuji on a show, a very short version but it's on yt, and its so calm and soothing.
lmaoooo ikr, and he looked so innocent when he asked that and then burst out laughing, like my dude, you should've caught on to the subtle jealousy there but no.
i love rants like these too, like its very seldom a book touches me and becomes something so huge in my life, so talking about mdzs is like a huge dose of serotonin 💗😂
Cecelia, thankyou bby 🩷 love is an understatement this book is my whole personality atp 😭
maya, oh wow you read it back then?? omg i wish i knew about this book sooner 😭YESS JGY AND NMJ and i dont see it at all- at least from JGY tho i definitely sometimes feel like NMJ is lowkey interested 👀 omg yess that scene and ahsjkaksk not just the eye contact the way LXC was literally touching JGYs hands not the box 😭 and the way they just look at each other like no bros dont look at each other like that i smell gay
uni sucks fr im glad im finally free of that lol but its the same for me with the donghua im so ready to rewatch it after im done with cql
wuji has become my religion atp the way i listen to every version of that song on repeat and oml the moment it starts playing on the show i go absolutely feral fr the way LWJ starts getting lowkey expressive after WWX becomes yiling laozu and the way he looks at WWX and that little smileeeeee 😩🤌🏻
EXACTLY and tbh as much as much i love WWX (hes my emotional support mentally unhinged bi icon 😭) and the way the jiang family took him in, JC was actually neglected a lot like im sorrry but Jiang Fengmian and Madam Yu are such shitty parents and the way everyone just ignores whatever good JC does?? (even the mdzs manhua didnt talk about the reason JC lost his core im so mad about it 🌚 ) and why bcs hes rude?? ohmg thats so stupid. FR THEY JUST NEEDED TO COMMUNICATE and even if they try now, its gonna be so awkward for these two to reconcile
i feel the same about mdzs and tgcf istg 😭 girl im so excited to read it. SAME WANGXIAN OWNS ME AND IDEC ohmg you need to watch the donghua (i like it slightly better than cql ohmggod i cant believe im saying this bcs im so attached to every version of wangxian but i did sorta didnt like the canon divergence in cql - the donghua is more novel compliant minus the romance but they still did a v good showcasing the relationship in both imo istg the yearning in cql is unmatched 🤌🏻)
i wanna reread, and im kinda bcs ive been reading the official translations since january tho im going v slow bcs i dont wanna end it again so soon 😩
oooh i did watch some edits on yt (not many bcs i dont wanna get spoiled even tho theres not much i can get spoiled about 😂) and ohmg fr ?!?? pls gimme any version of wuji ill fold 🧎🏻♀️
hes a dumbass but hes my favourite dumbass 😭
exactly!!! i mean i just know no book is ever gonna make me feel like mdzs did even tho i did love the authors other works as well and talking about it just makes me so happy 😭🩷
muskaan: the way i found mdzs is actually so funny. like when i was going thru a really really rough time, i was just chronically online finding something to distract me - and I watched a ship edit for this on youtube. and take this - it was a wwx x wen ning video 🤠i was like oooh - looks interesting - and i watched the untamed and the rest is history lol. i think that is why i'm reluctant to watch the donghua even if it's closer to the source material. really happy that you love it though 💗 i'll give it a shot!
NMJ just gave me so many don't fuck with me vibes like idk thinking about him has my legs shaking with terror, idk if i ship him w anyone (but you, ofc) 🫡
the way LWJ starts getting lowkey expressive after WWX becomes yiling laozu THIS. like the way he goes out of his way to try and help wwx, and even the moments he gets frustrated and stuff - shows that he cares. he even betrays his uncle to help wwx like ugh- also him getting the same branding iron scar that wwx has 😭💔 also the way you could clearly tell they were full in love and not just "friends" like the cql portrayed bec of the censorship is my favorite thing ever, like the actors truly outdid themselves
Jiang Fengmian and Madam Yu were indeed shitty parents to JC and madam yu was horrible to wwx, but the way they died - shit broke my heart. say anything about her but madam yu was a badass!
i don't read manhuas and after reading that, i don't think i will in the future either - 😀 i so desperately wish that somewhere down the line after many years they do reconcile, their brotherhood has my heart fr
i had to go look up tgcf lmao. GIRL, this has been on my tbr since i've read mdzs, but like idk why i'm feeling this resistance towards it, i just don't want to read it fsr. i think it might be bec i'm not ready to be wrecked again by the author and i don't want anything to replace mdzs in my heart 💀 which it won't but ygwim?
i can understand the feeling. also the art in the official translation 🛐🛐
Chen Zhuoxuan played the piano and sang "Wu Ji" this is the title of the video on yt :""") gr is being a hoe and not letting me paste links here
favorite emotional support mentally unhinged bi icon dumbass like you rightly said 😭🫶🏽
maya, omg whattttttt istg the way ppl ship anyone together 🤦🏻♀️ i see some ppl shipping wwx with nmj and by that time i hadnt watched cql yet so i was even more shocked bcs i was like they havent even interacted in the novel how are ppl shipping them together and theyve not even much talked in cql either 🌚it was the exact same for me with cql lol i am an avid anime only i rarely watch anything else but then i fell so in love with mdzs and wangxian that at one point, i was like just give me whatever there is imma inhale that shit lol best decision ive ever made i love cql and the characters sm 😭 i was also worried bcs generally movies and shows based on books are disappointing as hell but omg they did such a good job with the show.
omg yes hope you love it too whenever you give it a try. 🥺
girl he has my legs shaking with something else entirely like ajskakksk i was so in love with jiang cheng after watching him in the donghua but then they showed nmj in the flashbacks and i was done for 🥹 glad you ship him with me 😌🩷
EXACTLY i just finished the flashback episodes and the way lwj is with wwx now pls the way both of them look at each other has me giggling and kicking my feet. how do i even get over wangxian 😭 i still have 15 episodes left of cql and im already having separation anxiety
no but fr literally ALL the actors in cql were phenomenal, im so in love with them all its like i cant even imagine someone else being these characters they were so fucking perfect
oh yes fr i loathe both of them but i still lowkey have a thing for them too lol jiang fengmian is so hot in the donghua and madam yu made me such a simp after that last arc love me a boss bitch 🧎🏻♀️
me neither lol mdzs is the first manhua ive read atp i would consume any form of media for wangxian omg yes i hope so too their relationship is one of the best 😭
lol it was me with mdzs bcs tgcf was the first mxtx novel i read and i was so in love (i still am) with the everything and especially hualian. my cousin was the one who got me into danmei yk and i always told her the same thing whenever she used to talk about mdzs. lmaoo i was such a clown i literally told her however good mdzs is, i cant love it more than tgcf and hualian like that's not even possible. look at me completely ✨ obsessed ✨ with anything mdzs 🤡 so i get what you mean lol. and fr that book wrecks you its so painful but its also more romance heavy than mdzs i feel.
fr the art is so beautiful 😭🤌🏻
I SAW THE VIDEO OMG THE WAY EVERYONE WAS GUSHING OVER THAT SONG AND HER VOICE OOF i havent yet reached the yi city arc in cql so idk her but im so in love with her voice pls the only thing bad about that video is that it ended
BEST BOY EVER
muskaan i'm cackling like a mad witch, shipping wwx and nmj is such a reach 😭😂 nmj would not stand for wwx's defiant ideologies lmao. right? they hardly speak with each other in the cql too, but the human imagination is a wild thing, so karte honge log ship lmao 🌚 (said the last part assuming yk hindi 🫢)RIGHT? like the adaptation had me shook after i read the novel, they truly outdid themselves. i love the director for not being phased by the censorship bullshit honestly 😂
i just knew you would make that legs shaking joke, and you did not disappoint 😌 jiang cheng is fr super hot! i am a whore for wwx's smile in the untamed though, i'd let him do unspeakable things to me with a smile like that 🫠
we're never getting over them 😭 LZ just looks at wwx with such tenderness, like peak nobody-hurts-my-baby-anymore looks. but you know what fucks me up? thinking that in the novel wwx comes back in mo xuanyu's body and has his face. and lz does not even bad an eye about it :"(
right? i have the same love hate relationship with them. the time when madam yu slapped wen chao's girl bec she wanted her to beat wwx up - i was cheering for her wildly. boss bitch, indeed!
i've got to read the manhua and watch the donghua now 😤
first of all, you're so lucky you have a cousin to discuss this with 😭 i have assholes for cousins fr, they're all least interested in reading, and if they find me reading chinese novels - gay ones at that - i'll be disowned that second.
but like i get what you're saying completely. mdzs has this charm man. i like that in mdzs the romance was a subplot, but still had me begging for wangxian crumbs. if you see all the reddit threads, pinterest art, youtube edits, comments - you won't feel alone. we're all highkey obsessed 😂
i love reading about people in love tho, so i'm sure i'll adore tgcf. also i've seen some of the art works on pinterest and they're so fucking cute 🥺 i love the whole red aesthetic
haina? like it was so short and it ended so fast, but the way her diction is so good, and the slow piano music - my soul sings when i listen to it. i'm glad you liked it :")
also if you want a very funny untamed crack video, you can have a look at this - (The Untamed in a Nutshell) by spill the tea on youtube. but only when you've finished watching the cql, don't want you to get spoiled 😌
maya, arre the amount of unusual and completely stupid ships ive seen on tumblr and ao3 is crazy 😭 i honestly am traumatized by some 🤢 and yes lol i know hindi 😌IKR!?? i didnt know theyre so strict regarding that there and honestly i actually say this once to my maa everyday whenever i watch cql that im so grateful it got released and that i can watch it whenever i wanna. like theres so many dramas that havent even been released yet and ppl have been waiting for years
and then even with censorship you can actually see the tension, the adoration, the love wwx and lwj have for each other its INSANE
LMAOOO you handed me that on a platter i had to make that joke 😌 omg yessss his smile im such a sucker for him hes so fucking cutee but ive always been a grumpy men girl and lwj is the GRUMPIEST plus wang yibo is like the perfect lwj im a whore for those little smirks he started doing for wwx 😩
ikr! i was so shocked initially when i read it in the novel as well bcs wwx pretty much has the same face in the donghua too except hes just shorter and then i read the novel and it said his face is different and lwj is still so in love and so protective and jealous and cute and its so cliche that its the soul that matters but at the same time makes me so weak 😭
i can never get tired of that scene no matter what universe i dont like her but she definitely has my respect for that
oooh you gottaa 🥹
baby no ive got the same fate with my cousins lol but im also their go-to bcs im a v good listener lol and idc bcs at least i got to discover wangxian bcs of her so im cool lol. but fr none of my cousins and irls read and it gets so frustrating sometimes bcs i just wanna gush about my ships and books and no one even understands what im talking about 😭
exactly yess there wasnt much but when we did get those wangxian crumbs i ate that shit up. no fr no matter what app i open on my phone, its just mxtx and wangxian 😭
GIRL THE PINING IS NEXT LEVEN IN TGCF fr ive never seen someone hate on it. they are one of the softest couples ever and its generally not my preference but it works with themm 😩 AND THE REDDD YESSSS 🤌🏻
omg that "haina" made me so happy istg ikr can never hit like haina 😭
ill definitely get more addicted than ever but i definition will <333
muskaan, i've never been more grateful for not knowing how to use tumblr and quitting ao3 for a while 😭😂 some tags for fics on ao3 are traumatizing in their own right sachme (i'm so glad you know hindi, like speaking in hindi-english is my whole personality lol)no for real, like east asia (china, japan, korea etc) is like one big heteronormative society - they're strongly rooted in their customs. like untamed got a lot of hate by netizens in china, but it was more than well received and loved worldwide, like make it make sense 😭
exactly, like it's all in their eyes and subtle expressions, I can't help but be in awe of it all yk. like the way they managed to pull that off and successfully managed to air that drama
also your mumma knows you watch chinese dramas and stuff?! ones w lgbtq rep? either way, slay honestly 🛐
he really is the most adorable grumpy mc ever. OH YEAH, the ep where they had to paint the latterns and wwx painted that rabbit for him?!!! YOU SAW HIS LITTLE SMILE/SMIRK oof wang yibo looked hot asf man. also, he dances super well. i went down that rabbit hole on yt too, and he has this little dance number on finesse by bruno mars - it left me speechless 🥵
its so cliche that its the soul that matters but at the same time makes me so weak you said it 😭😭 like where do we find love like that irl man, just kaha dekhne ko milta hai? esp bec i had a lot of body image insecurities before and that touched me like nothing else has :")
i will, pakka 🥹
babe you have cousins with an age gap appropriate enough to discuss this. my cousins are like 30+ y/o and me and my sister are the youngest of our gen, and all they talk about is politics and news, its so boring 😭 im happy for you though, you found a gem bec of your innate capacity for hearing people out 😌
ikr? like atp if i find one friend irl to discuss books w, i fear i'll get a heart attack 💀
RIGHT? i think mdzs has more hype and a bigger fandom than tgcf bec mdzs got the live action drama. yk mxtx first used to post her works online on a chinese platform and gained popularity like that? literally living the dream 🛐
masochism has entered the chat - pining and angst? sign me up 🫡 when somebody likes something and its not their usual preference, that's when you know that something is really good haha!
you're so real for saying that, like when you say hainaaa? and the person replies haa naaa, it hits different 🥹
lmao true but it'll make you laugh, the changed subtitles are out of this world funny 😂
maya, fr but how did you get to quit ao3 pls teach me your ways 🫣 NO BCS SOMETIMES I WANNA ADD Hindi phrases so bad but im like kya hi ho jaayega most of the ppl wont even understand 😭and im soooo glad for that bcs istg they deserve all the love theyre getting (especially after i found out about 227)
lol im an only child and its always been her and me mostly so shes my best friend more than anything i literally cant be without telling her anything 😭
oh that scene was something else pls AND when he sees wwx with a-yuan?? oml i was screaming. and i havent watched that part yet but i see that tiktok sm when wwx is playing the flute (i think theyre at an inn?) and he just does a once over and looks down while smirking ahhhh that scene haunts my dreams istg. omg yess i just saw the finesse one my god i love that man sm i saw his performance on versace on the floor and mann hes so hot when he dances plus
same bestie 😭🫂 it was the same for me before in school and im v cool with it now but yeh sirf books mein hi dekhne ko milta hai 😭
yay tell me when u do 🥹
that sucks. tho im the oldest cousin lol but im the coolest too lmaoo if i say so myself 😌
sameeee its not like they dont read. some of them do. but they mostly read those self help books and no shade on those but i read to get away from reality why would i want to read a self help book when romance and fantasy help so much more 🌚
yeaa i got to know about this a few days back and wow to think that it got so popular its now getting officially translated im never more thankful for that istg. yea but the tgcf fandom is also growing crazyy and we're getting (hopefully, probably) its live action too soon. and GIRL THE MANHUA of tgcf is something else. the art is so fucking pretty im not even exaggerating
lol yes im so glad what you think of tgcf 😭
HAINAAAAAA????? 😭
lol i did see one such video last week bcs it was linked on a fanfic i was reading and it was so fun (and they were shipping lxc with jc and i was v curious 💀)
muskaan that's a long ass story but I do this thing where i ask god for like something i want and make a promise in return, and it does make me sound mad, but that always works. so I promised to quit ao3 for a year in return for something and that happened, so gotta keep my promise now. ten more months to go 😭ME TOO, like reviews will be sm fun, but I hold back too. the way hindi is so poetic and nuanced and conveys sm more, plus all the funny local phrases use karne mei there's this different joy 🥹
the 227 incident was wild, ik what happened but I didn't look into it much. i'm just glad xiao zhan is getting new roles and it hasn't heavily impacted his image
that is adorable 🥹🫶🏽 my mum would kick my ass if i tell her i watch dramas and stuff online lol she'd be like books kaafi nahi hai?
lwj soft boy agenda 😩 yesssss that scene is superiorrr, his little smiles kill me. also have you watched the golden core reveal scene in the cql? man i cried buckets seeing yibo's performance.
i just saw verance on the floor and🧎🏽♀️why does he wear all white so well, just HOW
i'm very happy to hear you're cool w it now, i am too! growing up on bollywood movies made me a very hopeless romantic, and then men like lwj exist so my standards for romance only get higher and higher 🥺
from what i've seen in this short while of talking w you, you are cool as hell😌
FOR REAL. like i read self help books once or twice a year, but reading just self help sounds super depressing lmao. and it's all so repetitive and boring, makes me feel like i'm reading a physics text lol. fantasy and romance and thrillers supremacy >>
THERE'S GONNA BE A LIVE ACTION FOR TGCF OMFGGG, the wait might kill me if its happening but i'm so happy to hear that!! is the manhua a colored one? because if it is, i'm already sold. i want it rn 🧎🏽♀️
HAAA NAAA 😭😂
when i think all the ships i'm getting to know from you will get not suprise me anymore, you fling that at me. lxc and jc? lord 😭💀 but the more im thinking of it, i think lxc's quite and calm demeanor might work well against jc's anger issues lmao
maya, plsss i do the same tho i never really complete that promise istg im not patient enough at all i manage to find some loophole. hope you complete the promise tho 😭🫶🏼haina hainaaaaaa?????? not just phrases i have this collection of bollywood gifs i feel like posting sometimes and then just dont lol
i didnt even know about that i just stumbled some cql bts on pinterest and liked wang yibo and xiao zhan a lot and then i heard about this. even idk much but im glad xiao zhan is receiving such love after the backlash he got back then.
lol my maa doesnt leave any chance to taunt me on this as well😂
Omg i JUST WATCHED THAT EPISODE FINALLY OOOF PLSSS BOTH THE SCENES WHERE HE CARRIES WWX ON HIS BACK AND THAT SMILE/SMIRK SCENE. noooo i havent reached that part yet thats prolly gonna be one of the last episodes but omg i cant wait for the emotional damage 😭
hes a leo ofc he'll look good 😌
istg bollywood and romance books are making my standards so high. and now that ive added mxtx novels to the mix, ithink im gonna be single forever
OMG REALLY STOPPP YOURE COOLER 🥹
exactly yess ive read my fair share of self help books too but now most of them seem v redundant i dont see any point in reading the same thing in different font
OMG YESSSS IDK WHEN IT WOULD BE RELEASED BUT IVE SEEN MANY BTS OF IT AS WELL I CANT WAIT 😭 and yes the manhua of both tgcf and mdzs are colored
HAHHAH ILY 😂
LOL YES i was so confused at first seeing the ship "xicheng" everywhere and its a really popular ship bht mostly ppl ship them post canon and like you said, they actually balance each other out v well. and the way ppl say like sizhui is wangxian son, jingyi is xicheng son 😭
muskaan so you know the movie jab tak hai jaan? i was super young and stupid when i watched it. that promise vala idea, i got it from there, and yk i think she breaks the promise and something super bad happens, so I'm like naah, not gonna break any of mine 😭 dont wanna court God's wrath lmaoooooh i understand why you'd do that, but like bollywood gifs sound super fun 🥹 for ex there are some pheri hera pheri vale ekdum funny ones, like they fit sm scenarios and can enhance the reviews to be so funny 😔
damn you got tea on pinterest? mine is pretty damn sober then comparatively lmaoo. but i'm glad too. i don't watch c dramas or k dramas but like i gave his oath of love a shot to support in a way, couldn't handle to watch past 5 episodes but felt better about doing that much atleast lmao
universal desi mom experiences 😂
oooh yeeeees, and you remember the way he refused to let wwx carry him on his back in the xuanwu arc? look at him doing the very same thing now. plus the bg music when he just goes like "fuck it" and carries him + wwx when he looks at lwj on the bridge with the moon in the bg, I remember it so vividly 🥹
oh i can't wait for you to watch that scene either! jc, lz, wen ning slayed their roles - the acting was off the charts!
leo is one of the few signs ik about lmao. explains his stage presence 🧎🏽♀️
honestly same! but i will prefer being single forever to settling for less after all this any day though
learning a thing or two from you 😌
same thing in different font the way this made me laugh-
OMGGG HAVE THEY DROPPED THE RELEASE DATE?!?! and who's acting in it??
oh hell to the mf yes, i love colored everything
ily moree *insert a million hearts here*
i think i like their ship👉🏽👈🏽 omgggg that makes sense though, my mind went kaboom after i read the last sentence🧍🏽♀️
maya, i know of the movie but havent watched it 😭 but now this is making me want to watch it maybe i will some time. omg yes it actually makes me so paranoid but kudos to your patience still 🥹exactly no other even compares to hera pheri gifs 😭
lol even i dont watch even tho some of my friends suggest me a lot.
istg its the same everywhere 😭
omg yes istg every time wuji starts playing on the show i go feral. yes yes yes like everyone talks of the scene where lwj carries wwx sm no one talks about how wwx was watching him before from afar has my whole heart oof 😭
i knowwwwwwwww 😩
same bestie 🫂
its the other way round but ok 🥹
lol but its actually so truee
babe idek IF it will release 😭 idk the actor names either 🥲 tho the show is called "eternal faith"
BESTIEEEE A NEW TGCF MANHUA CHAPTER JUST DROPPED-
🥹🩷🥹🩷🥹🩷🥹🩷
exactly same!! i was a little skeptical at first but the more i think about this ship, the more i like it. wayyyyyyyyy better than lxc x jgy. OML THAT WAS ME WHEN I FIRST SAW THE IDEA ON PINTEREST 😭
muskaan, personally i would not recommend watching it, like the songs of that movie are TOP TIER but still i think the movie was meh, as far as i can remember. thank you for saying that though 🥹only speaking facts 👏🏼
lmaoooo that's valid though
their historical dramas are cool though, the cgi is always outstanding!
thank fuck you watched the untamed though 😭
RIGHT? and yk the scene where wwx has just come back, in the first episode or sum, and at night he plays wuji on this makeshift flute he has, and a-yuan goes like, wait, we've heart huangangjun play this at gusu LIKE BREAK MY HEART WHY DONT YOU
that look was sooo telling, i love that scene too 😭💗
its the other way round but ok okay we're both cool 😤
aise kaise nahi hoga, we'll manifest it if we have to 🧘🏽♀️ i NEED the live action, bec like it simplifies the novel sm, i think i could understand mdzs so well bec i watched the live action first. should i watch the donghua for tgcf before starting the novel too?
also thank youu, I'll now be searching the whole ass internet for whatever information i can find on this-
WAIT ITS STILL ONGOING!?
🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
lxc and jgy have chemistry but noooope, lxc deserves way better, jgy is too far gone for anybody's love to save him. the way he killed his dad- i was like seriously horrified
lxc x jc though 👏🏼 once my ao3 ban is lifted, i think i'll read a fanfic on them if it's available 😂
maya, lol i actually got interested in watching it only bcs of the songs but if its meh, i aing watching it 😌ikr 😭
my friends would disagree but ill believe you 🥹🫶🏼 omg noooo there was a time i wouldve loved shows like that but i cannot now lol. tho i do believe in romance anime supremacy. 😩✋🏻 ill still like to watch oath of love but not now bcs i wanna watch "word of honor" after cql ive been told its also based on a danmei and ive watched some clips it does look promising
EXACTLY! thank fuck im watching untamed 😭
that scene is so fucking soft the way he looks at his fuddy duddy istg everytime wwx sees lwj in cql he just ✨ glows ✨ and it makes me soo happpyyy 😭
yea thats better 😌
you mean we werent manifesting it yet? 🥲 ikr i always opt for watching the donghua or live action, if they exist before reading these novels bcs its so hard to understand everything. i think you should and its not even that long- 13 episodes each some 20 minutes long?? im watching it a 2nd time rn lol its v good 😭
DO IT DO IT
YESSSSSSS and we've reached only maybe 30% into volume 2 yet??? and the worst part is you cant even read it all together, like you gotta wait for a certain amount of time for every chapter 😔
exactly omg the first time i saw that scene in the donghua i was shook.
plss yess i mean i havent yet read a fic with them as the main ship but ive definitely read many wangxian fics with xicheng as theyre so cuteee 😭🩷
muskaan, yess don't, anushka sharma's character gets done dirty in it lmaooo 😭 also i remember being in like middle school and being extremely shy whenever saans used to play like the lyrics seemed scandalous at that age haha i watched a love so beautiful (ig that's the name) and it's like the most popular high school drama years ago and it annoyed the living hell out of me, the second leads are always done so dirty so my opinion is super biased lmaoo. though there's a drama called a river runs through it, was recommended by an online friend and it actually did turn out to be an amazing hs drama ngl. oath of love seemed promising too, and idk if this is a spoiler, but anything w a person suffering from cancer just makes me super depressed so i didn't continue 😭
i think i'll check out word of honor too when i have time 😗 also i've watched like 3 animes yet, and all of them have been so depressing. i think horimiya is the only light anime i've watched. give me some recs if you have please <33
i'd forgotten about the fuddy duddy thing omggg 😭💘 you're so right, he absolutely does!
I wasn't but now I am, feverishly 🧘🏽♀️ i can def do 13 episodes then! i really don't like watching long ass dramas/series/anime bec i just don't have the attention span lmaoo.
like you gotta wait for a certain amount of time for every chapter i don't do well with waiting and this sounds torturous 🥲
me too, like never in my life had i seen anything or read anything like that before
the fomo is real rn 😭
maya, oml i just saw this babe 😭 nooo but yes i still cant watch that song around my parents lmaoo 😭oooooh i gotta check out a river runs through it. and nooo even if it was a spoiler, i dont really mind those so its cool but fr id be okay with it tho if its got a happy ending 🥹
im just glad word of honor has comparatively less episodes than cql i get bored with these long series so much😭
oooh which anime have u watched?? no pls horimiya is absolutely amazing i love that show sm 😭 you want only romance recs???
ok i just watched one episode if cql, its after the yi city and theyre at this market and lwj is looking at these rabbit lanterns and the wayyyy lwj smiled ittu saa when wwx beamed at him my hearttt 😩
i get what you mean 😭 i used to watch the long ones at one time- the longest ive watched is naruto i think ALONG WITH THE FILLER EPISODES UGH I WAS DEAD but now it just feels so tiring
i mean you can read some 10 something chapters non stop. but then you get every chapter in a specific time- 1 min, 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and then back to 1 min. ive finally caught up to the manhua so ab i have to wait however long it takes for the chapter to release, tho it takes normally a week
when is it not😭
