Can we pretty pleased try to get Tan to win this thing?

https://m.weibo.cn/c/wbox?id=l331zrkexk&cid=1020

I don’t know how many times we can vote, but that fox is getting awfully close, and that can’t happen. Not on my watch hahahahaha

Responded on the other thread, but anyway, have voted. It requires a Weibo account, which is tied to a device (can only vote on a mobile device, not on desktop). Did you get 5 votes for this section? I was able to use all 5 votes on the same person, and each vote is a public post about the person we voted.

Are demons supposed to be so observant like him?

I want a demon.

Now.

Me too! No longer interested in humans, hahahaha...
Maybe I should wrote "When he observes human":-). In Chinese legends, demons do not automatically acquire human character and behavior when they acquire human form. In the beginning they still behave much like animals, such as killing people or other demons they loathe while not being aware of anything wrong with it, until they eventually learn to perceive and understand the world from a human perspective. In Xiang Liu's life, Hong Jiang undoubtedly played the role of teaching him how to be a "mankind". At least we know he learned loyalty, responsibility, discipline, and comradeship from him. From this perspective, Hong Jiang is indeed like his father, which should be one of the reasons why XL is so loyal to him. For a demon, the first human with whom he/she has a deep connection will affect his/her whole life, for his/her worldview and values are largely shaped by that one.

@AH

Thanks for the explanation~ really detailed!
But I'm thinking, maybe the reason why they were loyal to Chenrong at the beginning was indeed just the two people, but as time went by, did their feelings for their adoptive father/master extend to Chenrong and their comrades? Like Xiang Liu once said to Xiao Liu, "Anyway I do have some feelings for Chenrong", and his inflamed tone when he talked about "lives of tens of thousands of soldiers" in Xiao Liu's bedroom, and when he talked to XY on Fenglong's birthday, he talked about "the middle land" in a tone seemed to be talking about his own homeland... I think he had indeed regarded himself as a "Chenrong man" after living and fighting hundreds of years with his comrades. And Chi You should be the same. What you think?

 Liu Yifei:

Since it was XY father's kingdom that he is protecting I believe it's one more reason for her to be with him. He was supporting XY even when he didn't know who she was such a gentleman 

They are like each other's "destined one" in every sense, pity that XY didn't cherish him...

 ZYHLJ:

Yeah they were. I sincerely wish they could be together.  They were made for each other. How many signs should they get to be together 

 HeadInTheClouds:

As much as I would like to help you out, I don't hink I can. It looks like you need a Weibo account which I do not have.

P.S I thought I was on a Deng Wei's fan site. What's with all the posts on him on that page?

Ah yes, you need an account to vote. That’s okay, just keep manifesting :D

All those posts are making me ill. There are too many :/

Almost 10 minutes BTS footage of Winner is King. It shows a lot of stuff like TJC's character getting his temples touched by another guy and getting hugged lol. I think it also shows what happens to him at the end :/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLniWTbbY-Q

One of the comments: "The drama name is ‘Winner is King’ previously known as ‘Sha Po Lang’ it has yet to air though already wrap up in Nov 2020, it is being shelved due to China govt bans on all BL adaptions drama"

It's sad this will probably never see the light of day.

 HeadInTheClouds:
Hear, hear. She hits "bitch, eating crackers" territory with me on this re-read. I think my tolerance for bullshit and shenanigans is just lower with my advancing age :-)

I was planning on making some YaoLiu gifs but they're not really that fun to make now after reading all the analysis about her from the other thread and knowing what she did and said to him the last time they met......... girl, bye.

 HeadInTheClouds:
Xiang Liu sent Chubby to deliver Xiao Yao's present to Sir Bi on the eve of the final battle. Probably as a way to keep him out of harm's way. He fought that final battle without his loyal steed/companion by his side. Hopefully, Sir Bi understood his intention and kept Chubby with him.

Now I'm feeling sad again.

Yep, hopefully Sir Bi or Lie Yang kept him.

 HeadInTheClouds:
It's certainly a possibility in Chinese' lore. Sir Bi himself is a bird of some kind I believe.

Tong Hua could write a whole new story focusing on Sir Bi and I'd totally read it. He's an interesting character.

I'm still waiting for the code to get sent to my phone :)


 HeadInTheClouds:
Forget XY getting rid of Jing; Jing will not let her. You know that he's going to cling to her with a dead grip, being all "I know I'm not good enough for you, and he's a better fit, but I don't know how I will live without you", with his eyes brimming with tears (*gag*). XY chose her poison, too bad, so sad!!

Such an accurate description of him. I'm getting flashbacks to that time XY was on the ship and about to go after XL but then that fox grabbed her back hard *barf*

Guys, you have no idea how much roasting is going on in the Instagram group. I'm cackling, I'm in tears, and I'm convinced people will burn Tencent to the ground once season 2 drops.

I can't wait. I need to see Xiang Liu being avenged. \O/

The way they keep relying on Xiang Liu for every piece of marketing *sighs*

Yes, all he did was for her.

You Tencent people better not forget about this. Not for a second.

 nathsketch:

I know I'm crazy, but I'm kind of saving this one for when I'm able to read it in its original version :)

Such a clown, I know.

Oh, interesting!

He definitely didn't. But the question is: do y'all think he could do the stuff we think he can do?

Asking for a friend lmao

Omg I took a few days to do work and I am so behind on this thread...


I read that second fanfic and it's was so off and bad in my opinion. The lady XL started getting weird rather than sexy... Anyways the author wrote another fanfic which I thought was better.. still ooc but I couldn't help laughing as I read this one.... I secretly thought maybe you guys secretly wrote this...

There is like a whole fox roasting chapter on how 17 is a fake and TSJ is a schemer... XY did not consummate her marriage to him for 100 years and would call out XL in her dreams and TSJ begged her ... It was extremely hilarious...

Oh yes and XL was brought back to life by a group of ladies that wanted him and XL to be together.... The author definitely like smut and BSM or whatever it is called.

Seriously who here wrote it. I loved it so much for the lols. It was a bit long and tedious but if you like Fox roasting the last few chapters may be worth it. Everyone was against him and thought poorly of him

Thanks for the filming footage Elise.

His costumes and styling in this are gorgeous!!! Rather reminiscent of his FFB's styling. Is this the role that he lost 15kg for?

Personality wise, Gu Yun is very different from Xiang Liu (although he's also a bad-ass). There are shades of FFB, but Gu Yun is a bit of a troll :-). You can probably see a lot more of TJC in this role compared to XL :-)

The book has a happy ending. A true happy ending, none of this 'not a tragedy " word play :-)

that‘s really contradictory right, how they hyped XL for marketing but on the other hand diminishing his role/sacrifices according to the leaked script. This made me having some tiny bit hope again that the leaked script is not the end version of how things go down in S2.

Is that the result of weibo voting you mentioned before? TJC number 5 and  DW number 3? Whoaa I never thought DW is more popular in China than TJC, especially after seeing how extra TJC‘s fans were  in decorating the street or greeting him after his drama wrap up. The chinese fans are really on the whole new level of devotion. Do you how how close or far the difference of the vote results between them was?

@Elise: I saw that vid too. The production team can actually still earn a lot of money by selling stills from the show. I really dig TJC‘s styling in that drama ‚sigh‘. BL is not my cup of tea but even I‘m excited to see WIK.

I never thought I‘ll be saying this, but I‘m running out of new content of TJC :(
