Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2, Empress Tianzi —Aesthetic

Empress Tianzi's Character & Personality

Tianzi is the thirteen-year-old Empress of the Chinese Federation. Thus far, she's only referred by the traditional title attributed to the Chinese Emperor. Despite this, her real name is Jiang Lihua. Although it's unknown how old Tianzi was upon becoming Empress, she was forced to take the throne before the age of seven based on her flashback. She's naturally a kind-hearted person, but she's also easily embarrassed. Due to being expected to rule extremely early in life, Tianzi is used to being silenced by the Eunuchs and other political figures around her. As a result, she rarely shares any opinion or idea of her own. Tianzi is quite shy and self-deprecating, often immediately thinking she's wrong in any situation of importance. In addition, she's quite childlike from being locked away behind the palace walls. More than anything, Tianzi dreams of life in the outside world and greatly values any friendship she might make.

the yunmeng baos are excited to find out that Jiang Cheng is getting married? They want to do something nice for Jc and jiang-furen? they do a special performance of the bao frog dance as part of the wedding festivities. Also they make a celebratory scroll with YZH's help. It has a congratulatory message and then handprints for all the baos, with their name written under their handprints. JC tears up when he sees it.

Lihua leaves a little blank spot next to her handprints for her future baby siblings! When Lianhua and Bohai are born, she smuggles them over to the scroll, dips their tiny hands in ink, and puts them beside her old prints. ;~;

cnovel shenanigans: the actual beginning of the plot, from our og fmc's perspective.

Chen Lihua didn’t expect to run into Jiang Mingxi, which made a decent amount of sense.  Chen Lihua never really expected to run into Jiang Mingxi, not even when they had been back in college.  Their majors had been drastically different; Chen Lihua did theater and film, Jiang Mingxi did business.  There was no real intersection between the two.  The fact that they’d landed in the same classes anyway had to have been sheer, dumb luck.

Fascinating, considering Chen Lihua’s luck was so very bad.

Case in point: Chen Lihua runs into Jiang Mingxi.  Literally.

If Chen Lihua was a physics teacher, she’d slow this down for the sake of her students, add some labels and arrows for clarity’s sake.  Look at this freeze-frame: two forces, A and B, coming at each other from opposite directions.  What exactly happens here?

Force equals mass times acceleration.  Force A, Chen Lihua, was going faster than force B, Jiang Mingxi.  Assuming the same mass, then the collision would result in B being diverted from her course.  However, this assumed same mass; Jiang Mingxi was in fact, twice Chen Lihua’s size, and a solid wall of muscle, whereas Chen Lihua was mostly made of skin and bone.

End result: Chen Lihua bounces off Jiang Mingxi and ends up sprawled on the ground, a victim of physics.  How tragic.

“Ow,” said Chen Lihua, just a little late.  This was one of the occasions she really wished she liked skirts less, because that would’ve meant she would have been wearing pants, and thus, probably would have avoided the skinned knees.

Jiang Mingxi glared back at her, angry as always.  “Chen Lihua.” 

The anger was maybe a little bit warranted this time, because Chen Lihua had been carrying a coffee – really just her luck – and it had splashed them both.

Chen Lihua looked mournfully down at the fallen cup.  She’d barely gotten a few mouthfuls out of it before all of it had ended up on their clothes.  It had been a shame; she didn’t buy lattes like this very often, they were expensive and the caffeine hit wasn’t high enough for her to justify it as the energy boost she needed to get through the day.  She’d gotten one this week as a little treat for herself.

“Hi,” Chen Lihua said apologetically, grabbing the cup and straightening to a standing position.  “It’s been a while.  I never thought I’d see you here.  Sorry about…” she gestured at the coffee covering both of them.

Vaguely, she contemplated whether she needed to grovel for forgiveness.  She probably wouldn’t have needed to back in college.  The fact that they had been students meant that they weren’t expected to command the same kind of dignity as a true adult, and besides, Jiang Mingxi had liked her in college.  She never said it, but Chen Lihua had a brain; if she hadn’t liked Chen Lihua, there was no way that they would have spent so much time together.

Now, though.  Chen Lihua was honestly a little surprised that Jiang Mingxi still remembered her name.  Relationships weakened if they weren’t kept up, and Chen Lihua absolutely had not been doing any kind of keeping up with anyone.  It was quite possible that Jiang Mingxi didn’t think anything of her at all, now.  

Chen Lihua felt a tiny bit of regret at that thought.

Then she decided to grovel.

“Begging Young Mistress Jiang for her understanding,” Chen Lihua said.  “I really didn’t mean to spill coffee on you, is there anything I can do…?  I’m really, really sorry!”

Jiang Mingxi stared.  Her face was stuck in dignified incomprehension.

Chen Lihua got a solid ten seconds in about how Jiang Mingxi shouldn’t wreak unholy vengeance upon her.  More nicely worded, of course.  She didn’t really think Jiang Mingxi was actually going to wreak unholy vengeance upon her, but a lot of things never actually went the way she expected, so groveling was a good idea.  If Jiang Mingxi made her pay up to get replacements – well, there was no way.  That blouse Jiang Mingxi was wearing looked simple enough, but she was a rich girl, through and through.  It was entirely possible that the blouse cost more than Chen Lihua’s rent for the month.  Or the year.

Ah.  That got her heart racing. She really couldn’t afford to pay that.

“What are you doing?  Shut up, have some dignity,” Jiang Mingxi hissed, and the response was so much like what Chen Lihua would have expected in college that Chen Lihua… acted accordingly.

“Dignity is something for rich people, Jiang Mingxi.  I’m too poor to afford something like that, I already sold mine away.”

“What,” Jiang Mingxi said flatly.

Wow.  Chen Lihua hadn’t said something that shameless in a while.

Do you have any other favorite looks from Chinese films besides the one from 青春的脚步 (1957)?

I'm not an expert on vintage Chinese cinema and I definitely haven't watched all (or even most) important vintage films, but I do have a lot of looks I enjoyed! Here are some of my favorites.

Don't Change Your Husband 情海重吻 (1929)

The whole movie is fabulous, but the leading lady's makeup look is just bewitchingly beautiful. It's the silent era vamp sad girl look for me.

And her dresses are SO GOOD.

10/10 would recommend.

啼笑姻缘 (1932)

Early 30s representation is difficult to come across, so I really appreciate all the looks in this film.

Finally seeing this aoqun/Western evening dress hybrid on a moving person instead of an artwork. The Deco background though!

And an unusual cheongsam. Both outfits could be corroborated by artworks by Ye Qianyu.

(First: far right)

(Second: bottom left)

Scenes of City Life 都市风光 (1935)

The evening ensembles are gorgeous.

Long Live the Missus 太太万岁 (1947)

This shoulder pad jacket with embroidery!! And the cheongsam with gold stripes underneath!! Also I love that Jiang Tianliu (the actress) looks a bit like my aunt.

Barber Takes a Wife 假凤虚凰 (1947)

Iconic film starring an iconic actress (Li Lihua). More shoulder pad cheongsam representation. The cut, fabric and hairstyle are just too good.

All the other costumes in this are also either super weird, super amazing or both.

相思债 (1947) (AI colorized version)

I may or may not be biased toward the 1940s.

This outfit and movie capture the weirdness and wildness of the Chinese 1940s to an exaggeration. The big shoulder pads, puffed sleeves, loud patterns, demonic hair and makeup... Just amazing.

💙 Baby Whisperer Wei Wuxian by Preludian_Staves

💙 Baby Whisperer Wei Wuxian

by Preludian_Staves

T, 15k, Wangxian

Summary: Thanks to his ability of soothing children everywhere he goes, Wei Wuxian accidentally acquires a child during the Cloud Recesses study arc and it changes things in how he interacts with the Lan Sect.

Kay's comments: What a delightful story! I keep coming back to it again and again since the moment it finished. The story is set during the Cloud Recesses study arc, where little Lan Lihua escapes the children's creche and sneaks away to the public areas of the Cloud Recesses. She's already lost her parents and hasn't managed to bond with another adult yet, which, of course, worries her caretakers. Enter: Wei Wuxian. He encounters the child during the escape and quickly manages to calm her down. After this, he gets entrusted the care for this child as a new "punishment" and absolutely flourishes. Lan Wangji soon helps out as well and the two of them grow closer. Everything could've worked out perfectly, if only there weren't the Lan elders and the Jiang Sect - both of those groups work against Wangxian in this. I must say, Lan Lihua is such a cutie and I can totally understand why wangxian cannot help but fall in love with the child and I always love to see them taking care of children. It was also fun to see the Lan deal with Wei Wuxian in a different way than simply assign him more rules to copy. All in all, a very cute story!

Excerpt: Lan Wangji considers responding, but then he catches sight of Lan Lihua’s reaching hand towards a rabbit’s back, gently stopping the movement. “Gently.” “Mmm” Lan Lihua glances up at him with warm, smiling eyes as she hums softly in response to his gentle words as they slowly pet the rabbit together. In that moment as Wangji gently guides this innocent child in how to touch the rabbits, he suddenly understands why Wei Ying very nearly turned his sword against him, hearing his words as a threat rather than a genuine offer of help. There is nothing that he wouldn’t do for her continued happiness as warmth suffuses itself within his heart.

Can Lihua fly with her injured wing?

Again- not my oc, commissioned by someone else.

You know who can *sorta* fly ? Jiang.

But he can’t fly for too long before his bad wing begins to hurt. So over the years he’s trained with strengthening his crippled wing, not ever leaving it ignored. He began doing so at some point when he realized he cannot loose anymore than what he already had.

His wing won’t be able to function at its best ever again, but it will save him from escaping life or death situations.

Jiang Cheng is a VERY proud girl dad. If anyone says anything about it, he would just let his daughters go wild and topple the patriarchy.

The next generation is full of lots of wlw granddaughters, ruzhui marriages, and kids inheriting their moms' family names! Traditionalists hate it, but the kiddos and their dad/purple jiujiu are thriving.

i have zero context for this scene but it came up just now as i was doing my nanowrimo death march so here you go.

Chen Lihua sketched out a plan that would have everyone who ever wronged her die a terrible and painful death, and then explained it all in great depth. When she was finished, she found Jiang Mingxi staring at her blankly.

She coughed daintily. “Of course, I can’t do that because that wouldn’t be legal,” Chen Lihua said. “But I think about it, sometimes. It’s not very good of me, I admit, but...”

“Do you want that to happen?” Jiang Mingxi said.

“It would be inadvisable for me to say yes out loud, legally speaking. Why, are you offering?”

Jiang Mingxi looked… strangely thoughtful.

“Hey, Ming-jie, are you saying you would be willing to kill all my enemies for me?” Chen Lihua said gleefully. “How romantic! You shouldn’t be saying this sort of thing to me, save it for your fiancee, you know? I’m sure Haoran has many people he dislikes. It would make a great anniversary present.”

“First of all, I didn’t say anything,” Jiang Mingxi said. “Second of all, that’s illegal.”

“But your objection to it is that it would be illegal,” Chen Lihua said slyly. “Not that it would be against your moral principles?”

“Also against my moral principles,” Jiang Mingxi said, but it didn’t sound particularly convincing.

Jiang Mingxi was so fun, sometimes.
