This Harvard/Oxford/Sorbonne thread of ours is getting so famous that many of the excerpts here are being shamelessly posted on the Fox Lair™ lol
All this in-depth analysis must be causing some discomfort :D :P
I glanced over there. You guys, they screenshot/copy & paste what we say and post it on their thread ^^

Now they're saying we're delulu and we're the ones distorting the facts.
Once in a while, maybe you can comment on their post, how to read the Sauvignon Blanc book according to the instructions given by Tonghua.

I think they were lured to the separate thread covering poems in chapter titles that H19279 created.
Either way, as someone in their thread mentioned, interpretations are subjective. As such, it is regrettable to see efforts to mock an interpretation that does not agree with their own, particularly if one is able to provide sufficient compelling evidence to support it. Not to mention that these analyses and interpretations were neither done on the main thread, nor encroaching into their individual threads. In an ideal world, we would be having mature, intelligent discussions or indulging in silliness without feeling the need to attack each other, even if we have differing opinions.

Yes. We do probably over-analyse here. But I think that's just part of the fun. Engagement with any work of art is inherently subjective, IMO. We all have our biases, some of us are more conservative in our interpretation while others take things further. As long as we're not pushing our view on others, where's the harm? I don't harbour any ill feelings towards people who like Jing or YaoJing; it's just different strokes for different folks. I just wish there weren't personal attacks being thrown our way as a collective. These shipping wars are silly.
I was at the peak of my annoyance with LYF and XY last week. But, I've actually found a way to interpret this book that, surprisingly, has nothing to do with romance. This approach makes a lot of sense to me and puts to rest some of the issues that I was having with this story.
Yes!! I can't wait to see it published :)
Tong Hua likes to keep things hidden, but I don't hahaha
Yes. Now I prefer she clobbered us over the head with all the extra prose that clearly tells us every detail of her hidden lines!
Read on Weibo that there were rumours of a 2nd epilogue that was initially written which would make YaoLiu shippers happy, but since I have not seen conclusive evidence the rumours and the supposed details of the epilogue were authentic, I won't share them here.
