"So devoted and so debauched" is SUCH a phrase omg

I'm less suprised at the plot reveal and more shocked that someone attempted to translate the Chinese proverb about truth and falsity LOL: "Nothing true could be false, and nothing false could possibly become real"

“This kind of obsession is painful, but there’s joy in it. She hates me, and I refuse to hate her.”

It’s a bit on the nose tbh.

Ohhh the Jin yong inspo is strong in this one. Fully a lift of Dragon Sabre Heavenly Sword with the secluded healer in Flower Valley that swore never to use a specific method of healing

Oooo finally the reveal

Minimal proverbs and historical references in this but on the plus side we’re getting a lot of poetry!! Love my mom’s blorbo li bai

Ah the Jin Yong inspiration; a chain suspended over a ravine to a mysterious powerful sect the entire jianhu is trying to destroy à la jihad

WHY ARE YOU SWITCHING WHY IS XIONGDI GONE BUT JIEMEI STILL HEREEE

I don’t likeeeee it when the localization goes for “brother X” and “sister Y” instead of keeping xiongdijiemei
