my god i don't know if i have enough willpower to let this marinate,,,,the uke looks like a fucking lana del rey song posing with his violin and everything, the seme is fine as hell too lord have mercy
Holy fuck I got art baited so hard on pinterest but I'm reluctant to start a story with so few chapters as a binge reader. Also reading the comments and finding out BOTH of them are freaks just made me overjoyed! I am TIRED of same old BLAND ASS characters and plot with zero conflict or substance that get praised to hell and back for being "green flag" and "morally acceptable" and whatnot. ALSO THERE'S A NOVEL IM HEARING? If it has en translation please gimme link
I realized I really dig the stories that are set around the republican china timeline. Usually the stories I read are either set in ancient china or current day china but something about this sort of timeline feels so close yet still distant, the perfect balance of both historical and modern, It's a shame I haven't seen this sort of theme much in bl's, would really appreciate it if anyone has any recommendations of such stories.
I only know one other one but it’s a novel if ur okay w that. It’s called annoying Zhao gongzi.
also qingshan... they couldn't make me like you but im happy for you ig
Can I please just have a whole separate manhua abt just QiYan being sappy with each other....also I'm Wei Xixing's gf btw
I finished reading a danmei today and I come back here for QiYan....
If you can't handle heavy and REALISTIC politics that actually takes time to develop throughout the story and isn't spoonfed and explained to you from the beginning then Qiang Jin Jiu isn't for you, stick to lighter and easy to digest fantasy stories because you actually have to use your brain to read this story and by politics i mean all sorts like imperial court politics, bureaucracy and military stuff, even a whole lot about distribution and calculation of grains, rebuilding and seizing territories, struggling for the throne and bringing corrupt officials and nobles to justice and so much more. Aside from politics there's also a lot of action, bloodshed and war happening, the best written action I've seen in danmei. If you actually pay attention to what's happening and the dialogues then it shouldn't take too long to get a hold on the plot. Qiang Jin Jiu is a masterfully crafted story with a poetic writing style and it's known for how good and deep it's plot and world building is and it has one of the most powerful couples in danmei. It's not for impatient people who aren't willing to be confused. Frankly no, this manhua adaption doesn't do this novel justice, no adaption can do what Tang Jiuqing's words can. The best way to enjoy this story is by reading the complete fan translation all together, the english fan translation(links already posted in my comment below) is imo way better than the official one because it actually explains every cultural context and reference in depth and with images, and if you can read chinese then you won. I would give anything to read this story again for the first time, hands down the best danmei.
I will forever worship Lianyins translation of this story with all my being, that shit changed me as a person
CAN YOU SPOIL WHERHER UKE FATHER IS EVIL OR JUST FRAMED OR I JUST CONFUSED ABOUT THE PLOT (=・ω・=)
he was used as a scapegoat to put it very simply, but he wasn't a good person either so don't feel bad for him. and please just keep reading, all your confusions will be cleared up as you progress through the story and the reveals are extremely satisfying and sometimes gut wrenching
oops, the reply above was meant to be tagged to you
