XXXVII


I did not lose my heart in summer’s even,

When roses to the moonrise burst apart:

When plumes were under heel and lead was flying,

In blood and smoke and flame I lost my heart.


I lost it to a soldier and a foeman,

A chap that did not kill me, but he tried;

That took the sabre straight and took it striking,

And laughed and kissed his hand to me and died.

Maomao could do whatever the fuck she wanted forever in the palace like

If a court lady won’t let her, most—if not all—of the top concubines at a given moment would have her back

If the concubines don’t have jurisdiction she just has to think about the concept of family dinner in the vicinity of her bio dad and he’ll abuse his major political power to fit her whims

If it’s beyond his political maneuvering she could link pinkies with the crown prince and he’d beg to move mountains for her

And at the end of the day if none of that worked the emperor would pardon her for whatever she does bc he’d think it’s funny

I think it sucks that you have to go to so many different kinds of doctor to take care of yourself. It’s the 21st century. I should be able to go to a single office where they scan me with a big xerox machine and tell me what I’m allergic to and why my tummy hurts and if I have any cancer or cavities or if my glasses prescription has changed. And then I should get a sticker.

Considering the fact he’s set up to be like an antagonist force in the Heavens for Xie Lian Pei Ming is such a wild side character like:

  • He’s probably aromatic
  • He’s older than Xie Lian by maybe 5 years maybe 100s it’s really vague
  • He is constantly following his dick into places I wouldn’t go with a gun
  • He isn’t actually antagonistic to Xie Lian at all despite all the behind the scenes manipulation trying to make that happen
  • Him and Xie Lian share custody of a 250 year old war criminal
  • He’s the text book example of why “I was just following orders” is really fucking bad
  • He has an incredibly strong sense of justice
  • He’s best friends with the most evil woman and second most evil man in heaven for most of the novel
  • He’s genuinely a good person
  • He’s so charismatic his best friend/situation-ship tried to make him king without asking him
  • He’s so distraught about what happened with The Rain Master he runs away from her for +800 years of existence
  • He’s a slut
  • He’s a Hualian shipper
  • Despite being probably the third strongest Martial God in the series he spends all of Mount Tonglu with a broken elbow and being comic relief
  • He genuinely believes he and Hua Cheng are buds
  • He somehow didn’t have any children so instead he tries to trust fund kid his 17 times great grand nephew who was raised by the most humble man ever and can’t work out why the kid won’t let him buy his way out of jail
  • He wants to talk to Xie Lian about his sex life
  • He spends most of the last book being depressed that one of his best friends is dead and another is on the run
  • People pray to him for long lasting relationships
  • A yandre ghost is trying to kill him
  • Jun Wu was actively running a smear campaign against him the entire time
  • He was part of the magical girl sword
  • He’s the slut of the heavens
  • He is both so tried and living by the motto fuck it we ball
  • He’s the only other man Xie Lian finds handsome
  • He was the first person to realise E’Ming was a boner metaphor
  • He’s scared of the bull man who hates him
  • He is probably going to be the next heavenly emperor since Xie Lian doesn’t want that shit
  • He’s the only martial god who genuinely likes and respects Ling Wen until Xie Lian shows up
  • He says “Ho Ho” when Hualian kiss
