Making my way through the series and the unrequited crush Jiang Chang has on Wen Qing is cute. A friend sent me a fic featuring them a while ago during the time everyone was teens in the Cloud Recesses. Can't remember the title but even though I liked it, the story was a very short one-shot (these are welcome, btw).
Does anyone have any recommendations for this JC/WQ pairing to share? As it's a CQL thing (and featuring secondary characters at that), I'm sure they won't be plentiful but I know going on AO3 carries the risk of running straight into drama-only spoilers.
Thanks in advance!

Somehow, "I'm only gonna read a handful of chapters for now!" has turned into me being so deep into Vol. 1 that I will have it finished by morning.
However, I now wonder — What's the rationale for Xie Jinglan's/Shen Jue's hair being white in the Seven Seas art and the same (or a very, very light blonde) in that of the Audio Drama?
I believed such a hue to be canon until reaching this line (Ch. 21): "Shen Jue returned from his bath with his hair loose. The dark strands gleamed against his white underrobe like ink on paper......
Taking a look at the manhua, I see that its artist depicted him with black hair...but that's the only version I've encountered that does so. In fanart you all have seen, is the character uniformly portrayed or is there aesthetic variation?
Hello all,
I am in an incredibly irritating situation and hoping someone can give me insight as to what I should do:
On April 23, I ordered items from Mexico (2 customized PVC cards featuring characters from a novel series) from a seller on Etsy. The estimated delivery date was May 19. The package did not arrive. "Inbound into Jamaica Customs" was never updated with an outbound notice. As I was then on a work trip, I gave it a little time, but then contacted the seller on June 11 once things had calmed down and I could give the situation proper attention.
The seller informed me that tracking notes indicated that my address could not be found or may have been considered incorrect. That was so strange, as I have never before had an issue with international deliveries to my home. But most frustratingly, I was told that one of the scans showed activity in Canada despite clearly having been in the United States, the destination country! Suspecting it may have been an issue or a tracking glitch on USPS' side, the seller graciously resent the package, once it arrived in Mexico, on June 15 at no additional cost to me.
Well. Fastforward to present day, August 1. The most recent message available is "Your item has been processed through our facility in ISC NEW YORK (USPS) at 6:55 pm on June 25, 2026."
On top of being confused, I am at a total loss for words (and the Canada thing, needless to say, was partially insulting/partially enraging).
How should I proceed in hopes of getting my items delivered?
It's after midnight and I am just getting home (yayyyyy, World Cup excitement 🏟️) to discover this shocker of a gift from my boyfriend!! He knows that I am a passionate MXTX fan, as I haven't shut up about *MDZS* (my first and overall fave danmei) since last summer and currently have only 2 chapters remaining in Vol. 7 of *TGCF.*
I'd planned on purchasing single *SVSSS* volumes but now I can use that money for other series. 😉
Continuing to whittle away at my backlog but I'll be reading the first chapter in the next hour, starting the donghua in August and undertaking these beauties in December. 🥹
Expanding my MDZS playlist and ran across these (fan songs, I'm assuming?) on a listing that has tracks from the donghua and the live action.
Very glad to have found them and if anyone could assist me with the English translations, I'd be so appreciative!
Hey y'all, I'm relatively new to the danmei scene - began reading last August. As a lover of period pieces and politics, QJJ was extremely high on my list (one of my three "finalists") after finishing my first set of novels and two donghua but I pumped the brakes due to the rigidity of my schedule at the time. The volume count felt a bit daunting, all things considered.
But last year is not this year and I intend to begin QJJ in the fall. When I say as much to the handful of people within my irl danmei circle, I can all but feel their shudders.
"It's really dense/made my brain hurt/I couldn't finish it!"
"Too political."
"No, no, we know court intrigue and political intrigue are right up your alley but we're not lying! QJJ is really -"
"But the donkey..." (If this is the only thing I get spoiled on, I can live with it)
And my personal favorite, "Think of it as Game of Thrones on steroids. Now, isn't that off-putting?" (Meanwhile, all I'm thinking the only way that such a comparison could ever be 'off-putting' is if the entire series reads like GOT S8).
I say all that to say I really hope it IS very complicated!! I've never been one averse to thinking hard about the media I engage with; not only is theorizing and hypothesizing fun — it's to be expected.
But people are out here behaving like t97 dabbled in rocket science. Density isn't a problem. I don't mind simplicity every now and then but are there a lot of characters, locations, courtesy names, sobriquets, etc. to remember that're also a driving factor in the wails I'm hearing?
