It's Ruby's birthday you guys! 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

Happy birthday Zhou Hongxian, the girl born on the seventh day of July (Chinese Valentine’s Day), grown into the cutest and bravest heroine of Blissful Retreat.

Ruby's outfit is called 百衲衣(Bai na yi) or the Hundred-Patched Robe. It's a traditional folk talisman in China for children prone to illness or misfortune.

Kids like Ruby eat rice gathered from many households (Qianjia Fan, Rice of a Thousand Homes), and wear this Hundred-Patched Robe to ward off sickness and calamity, so they may live a long life.

Since Ruby lost her mother as an infant, and her father(Uncle Zhou to young master) had to work all the time, he decided to make this for his little girl, and the villagers of Blissful Retreat were just glad to do what they could for little Ruby.

To make the robe, the kid's family would beg a scrap of cloth from each household nearby, then stitched all the pieces together into one garment.

Ruby's clothes in particular were made to a teen's size in the hope that she would grow big and strong, being a 10-yr-old she would tie the hem in a knot.

Fanart by me.

Sometimes I imagine the young master having someone to share their burden with. Context: elder sister whoops brother harder than she's supposed to during training.

Asking as a CN player slash artist who's active in the fanart community.

PVP is evidently not the strong suit of this game and it definitely leans more towards the solo/lore game category, and imo the status of the fanwork community is a big indicator of how games like this are doing.

When global first launched it felt like fanarts and edits are all over the place(I personally don't follow fanfics and cosplay content but those count as well), but as the novelty wore off and people dropping this game, it seems like the fanarts faded away with it. Also Wuxia is still a niche and the cultural barrier is still there, which makes it harder to form such a community?

Post image means: WWM is a murderer! Someone on CN made this meme because devs have this hobby of unaliving beloved characters.

So I tried this Qixi Festival (Chinese traditional valentines day) event emote or mystic skill on Jin, and i don't know why but i find it funny. Maybe it's his constant foxy elegant look that's sending me in a comedic way lmao. Anyway here's the edit.

I love how I can still find >!Huajing after all that's happened, even though it's just a dream and we can't even talk to him anymore.!<

My headcanon is that >!this is a fragment of Huajing's memory/dream from his senior days. He missed his friend Fangbai and the Jianghu he witnessed himself as a young man, so he dreamt himself sitting by the sunken city and playing tunes as if speaking to a tomb. Now it is just a fragment of his soul lingering in YM's dream, and the role of telling adventures of the living is now hers. !< I just wish characters like >!him, Ruby and Yi Dao!< are able to see the places YM has been or going to.
