I was promised in marriage to a Chinese prince (like in one of those fantasy dramas in China) and I did not want to marry him.
So I kept jumping down from high places (there was modern hip-hop music in the background for some reason) but every time I jumped down from somewhere, I lost 10 years of my life and did not die immediately, like I wanted.
The prince also kept chasing me around to catch me but he never succeeded.
At the end, I needed to jump one last time to actually die and escape the prince forever. But the moment I jumped, I woke up. I could still remember the background hip-hop music up to 10 minutes after waking up.
I am not Chinese, by the way.

I'm gonna put y'all on a show that has me screaming every episode
Modern day witch hunt, yt women out yt womening each other, affairs, magic in the real world, teenage cruelty, it's so good.
It does have an SA story-line it is shown in flashback but not in it's entirety so I will warn you of that.
This show is so fucking GOOD, it's on AMC+ on Prime Video, at least it is for me in the US
Also it's got an Elaine Cassidy in it, period drama queen and if you were starved for queer media as a teen like I was you might recognize her from Fingersmith ( if you know, you know. But if you've seen the 2016 South Korean film The Handmaiden YOU KNOW)
And it's got Stephanie Levi-John, who was amazing in The Spanish Princess, out acted damn everyone in that show and I think one of the first times I've seen a black character in a tudor based tv show but I'm rambling. She's great in this show.
JUST WATCH THE DAMN SHOW OKAY

Link to first chapter (18+. Minors DNI)
Ascal and Gillius, on the outside, look like they hate each other and are hellbent on making the other miserable. However between the snide comments and occasional fights, it becomes clear more is at play here.

Seo Yul
Appreciation post
Drama: Alchemy of Souls
Status: Side character
Portrayed by: Hwang Min-Hyun
Seo Yul is such a cinnamon roll. He is kind, introvert, has high moral standards and he is the type of person who doesn’t hesitate to sacrifice himself to save the world. You just have to love him because despite of a great sadness he still care of his friends. Also, he is one of the most skilled warriors and he has most whump scenes in the whole show .

The Chinese historical or fantasy dramas (some for younger audiences but still enjoyable) with prominent female leads I’ve watched and liked/loved are:
"The Rebellious Princess"
"The Story of Ming Lan"
"Eternal Love"
"Princess Weiyoung"
"Empress of China"
"The Legend of Fuyao"
"Ashes of Love"
"Story of Yanxi Palace"
"Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace"
"Empresses in the Palace"
"The Legend of Hao Lan"
Again, there are some annoying tropes or patterns, but still, all of these are far better than HotD.
