Holy Moly!.. They're soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sweet! o(*≧□≦)o

[iffytadpolyreview]

Comfy and warm fix-it fanfic about LiuShen. Oooooh, I love their pair so much!.. Quiet understanding tsundere lqg and awkward cucumber sqq...

The relationship between the main characters look more realistic and adequate here. Author made them livelier than we used to, opened them up and showed their's complexity. Pace of the plot was not too tense yet not too slow and boring. Just right.

If you want to feel warm, placated and cuddled, this story is waiting to make you scream out of cuteness of lqg and sqq teasing(๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

ORV fandom, here you go! I found an interesting fanfic.

Funny, magical au where YJH is trying to summon a familiar and is facing with consequences╮(￣▽￣")╭

Thank you, author, that was delicious!

[iffytadpolyreview]

Another beautiful LiuShen AU, mmmm, tasty!

Characters here are three-dimensional, real. I appreciate author showing feelings between Cang Qiong Peak Lords and putting a lot of effort into readjusting plot.

Story is full-fledged and completed which is truly a happy thing!(＾▽＾)

I somehow can't understand soulmate au so I don't read lots of them. You, guys, know stuff like soul bond, destiny, love at first sight and so on...

But this story I found more realistic than others in the same genre. Characters who have soul mark hold to the different opinions about the whole soulmate thing. And they share their thoughts with each other and respect others' worldviews. People in this fic are complete without this damn soul mark, are happy without it! Soul mark here is just being a special bonus, adding more spice and intrigue in well-formed relationship or bringing allure and intensity in pre-relationship.

Thank you, author, for this elaborated work!(„ಡωಡ„)

Ohmygod... This is the longest fanfic I have ever read. And at the beginning I really wanna complain about length of the story...

BUT

I found myself being deeply occupied with the familiar yet unfamiliar characters, tense yet thoroughly written plot and mature yet satisfying and not so explict romance between main pair and some other pairs... So, to put it simply, enjoyable fanfic! I truly wish original story would have this level of logic and completeness... (๑˘︶˘๑)

This post is just to provide some translation notes and cultural context for Xie Lian’s famous saying “body in abyss, heart in paradise” (身在无间, 心在桃源). The two words that really require some explanation in this saying are “abyss” and “paradise” because much of their cultural implications are lost in translation.

Let’s start with the word “abyss.” The Chinese phrase used here 无间 is a Buddhist term and actually means “hell,” and specifically 无间 is the deepest and most horrific level of hell within the “eight hells” of Buddhism. 无间 literally means “no interval” because those condemned to this level of hell suffer non-stop and without intervals, and the hell itself has “no interval” in the sense that it’s endless both spatially and temporally. In fact 无间 is a fitting term for Jun Wu because Jun Wu’s suffering is agonizing, incessant, and interminable, just like this hell. It’s no wonder that Jun Wu felt personally attacked when Xie Lian said this line in front of him.

As for the word “paradise,” the Chinese phrase is 桃源 which literally means “peach blossom spring.” “Peach blossom spring” is a reference to a famous short story of the same name by Tao Yuanming (365–427 AD) (I’ll link the full text of the story here for people who’re interested). It’s a fantastical story of a guy who, after going through a mysterious cave near a field of blossoming peach trees, stumbled upon a utopian society cut off from the outside world where everyone leads a happy and peaceful life, but where no one is aware of what’s going on in the world outside of their own small community. So 桃源 isn’t so much paradise in the Christian sense as an earthly paradise, or a utopia that people can retreat into to hide from the chaos and strife of the world.

I feel like “body in abyss, heart in paradise” very much reflects the Buddhist view that what really matters and what determines your reality isn’t the world external to yourself, but what happens subjectively within your own mind. As long as your mind is in paradise, body in abyss isn’t so terrible. And I think Jun Wu was so deeply offended by this saying partly because…he vehemently disagrees with this view from his personal experience.  It’s exactly the external world that made Jun Wu’s life and Jun Wu’s reality a living hell – the public who abandoned him, the friends who betrayed him, the ingrates that judged and condemned him, the heaven officials who took advantage of his already desperate situation. When everything in the external world combined to make your life hell, your inner world simply can’t be paradise.

Yesterday were talking with my friend about sense of guilt that settles in transmigrator's mind when he/she travelles into a body of another person...

Why am I here? Am I really not robbing original owner of the body of his luck, family, friends, affection, feelings etc? These questions are common and I love finding how author is gonna fix them. A subtle dose of grief and self-blame make a story more realistic(⌒ω⌒)ﾉ

[iffytadpolyreview]

Truly cute LiuShen's interactions(≧◡≦)

I kinda feel sorry fo sqq and his guilt... But at the same time, I understand that romance between sqq (sy) and lqg started only afler sy transmigrated. So their affection towards each other is valid and healthy.

Ohohoh, fluffy and really peaceful drabble. I wish they were canon(ﾉ≧∇≦)ﾉ ﾐ ┻━┻
