The Road to Splendor is Not Paved with Gold.

It’s paved with a shit ton of fucking salt, and blood, and sweat…and tears

We wouldn’t have needed to go through half of what we went through had zhao ling reconciled with his insecurities earlier on (like when it almost cost him his life and the life of his brothers) but that would require him to share them with her and he seemed to be allergic to doing that.

He was convinced that he needed to rise through the ranks to be worthy of her. Like it was his job to make up for all that she’d lost back in huayin. But he never noticed that while in ganlin, tingyun became accustomed to their life. Tingyun became a part of the community, she made it her home. Tingyun was content. He was the one who wanted more, who kept climbing and it almost killed their relationship.

But I digress.

Ding yuxi, please, acting is not 85% posturing. I’m begging someone to direct you otherwise.
