Why is my baby crying on the front cover

A fan edit of this “8 years” speech x Right Where You Left Me by Taylor Swift would do numbers on social media. 🎶if our love died young I can’t bear witness🎶

“This proud man seemed to have been reduced to an abandoned dog- so deeply lost and injured that he didn’t know where to go.” Can Mo Xi have JUST ONE DAY of peace?? 😭

“Eun-sook found herself wondering why someone so timid and feeble would maintain close relationships with writers who are under the scrutiny of the authorities, why he kept on publishing precisely those books that earned the censors’ attention”

“Gripped by this familiar shame, she thought of the dead, for whom the absence of life meant they would never be hungry again. But life still lingered on for her, with hunger still a yolk around her neck.”

Actually nervous to read about Gu Mang’s forgotten memories😅

“ if we’ve been given a little more time, might we have arrived, eventually, at a moment of understanding?”

“ no one had ever taught me how to address a person‘s soul.”

“The national anthem rang out like a circular refrain, one verse clashing with another against the constant backdrop of weeping, and you listened with bated breath to the subtle dissonance this created. As though this finally might help you understand what the nation really was.”

You fucking liar, Mo Xi. Why would you say that 😰😭

“When you made jokes, he always sat and watched you. As soon as You delightedly finished the joke, he always laughed first.” 🥹❤️

“I’m still here. You still have me. I’ll stay with you” [pained screeching] 😭💘

Oprah’s handing out Vietnam flashbacks at the hot springs apparently. My heart just hurts for Gu Mang

“Some people’s hearts shouldn’t be touched. They never played around; rather they were the solitary guardians of the pure affection they held, chopped in their hands. They only had a little bit of romance in their hearts, just enough to lavish on a singular person in all their life.” 🥹🥲😭

“When i choose someone, i mean it for a lifetime. In life or death, in poverty or in riches, I’ll only follow in his footsteps. I’ll only want him and him alone. Don’t you understand?” Mo Xi, you CANNOT keep doing this to me.

When done right, the amnesia trope really is that girl

I need Yue Chenqing and Jiang Yexue’s relationship to improve over the course of this series

Being sacrificed to a mountain god would have been better than this 😨

Pls no, Hong Shao CANNOT be a mountain sacrifice 😰😭 my sweet girl

Hong Shao was a girl?!

So glad vol 2 picks up immediately where vol 1 left off, considering, ya know, that vol 1 ended IN THE MIDDLE of a cave brawl with a sword spirit???

This exactly why i love a cultivation story. Where else can you find romance, politics, petty rivalries, magic, demons and ghost fighting all in one series, and in a way that doesn’t feel like 9 tropes in a trench coat??

“He wanted to look into his eyes and devour this man with his bare hands workout leaving a drop of blood or scrap of bone” - This. This is the level of yearning I require

My heart aches for the Mo Xi we see in flashbacks - my genuine, earnest boy. More had to have happened between these two right? Like this can’t just be because he defected?

Did not expect to encounter an eyeball eater

Of course they have matching sigils 😭😭😭

I understand why he’s like this, but I just really need Mo Xi to stop being so aggressive? forceful? With Gu Mang. That baby is going through enough, damn.

What in the half-blood prince

I’m really enjoying the use of footnotes referencing other poems to explain the imagery. Also, Murong Liam can catch these hands

“All of the blood that races through my heart is because of you.” 👀👀👀 I see you, Mo Xi
