If I said I wanted to write a transmigration fic where Qianlong dies, gets jumped by his ancestors (specifically his aunties) and then had to do life all over again from the day he ascended the throne and NOT screw up this time, would anyone read that?

I'll probably write it anyway, but like, lemme know if you want to see it

If you ever want a rec for a Chinese historical drama, I'm not an expert but I have seen a lot of them.

My general all round recs are Empresses in the Palace (also known as the Legend of Zhen Huan) for classic palace drama, with a satisfying end.

I feel so spicy about this drama, its so good. Zhen Huan character of all time.

Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, which is probably my favourite I think? Zhou Xun, who plays Ruyi is astounding, very subtle and understated and emotive at the same time.

The Story of Ming Lan is so good, it's all about family and rising against circumstance. Ming Lan is a joy of a character, she's so clever and tough behind this delicate front, and she has such rage in her.

And Oh My General for being wildly queer while resolutely heterosexual in the weirdest ways.

What if a jock dated a theatre kid, but the jock was a female soldier who has been living as a man to lead an army, and the theatre kid was a spoiled imperial family member who has had nothing expected of him ever.

What if she was a goofball and he was a prissy bitch but then he falls in love with her because she's the only person whose ever looked at him and expected him to be something!

Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace. Often when I watch the episodes or clips from the show on youtube, one common thing I notice is how many other viewers agree that the title of the drama feels like it doesn't make sense.

Many question, Ruyi's Royal Love? When that love sadly gets stomped on and dies basically halfway through the drama? So I thought about it, too. Many take on the opinion that Ruyi's Love really refers to Hailan, or even Yunche. And these are all great takes.

But I like to personally believe, Ruyi's Royal Love isn't referring to any one person in Ruyi's life. It was about Ruyi herself.

Ruyi's Royal Love -> ->-> the love Ruyi has. Royal because she IS royal, in her heart, and her mind and actions. In a way that someone like Hongli will never ever be.

I think of all the people who's lives she touched. Hongli, yes. But there was also Hailan, Consort Shu, Consort Ying, Consort Chun, Yonghuang. Ling Yunche, Li Yu, Suoxin, Jiang Yubin, Rongpei, all the way to the servants who worked for her that we saw only a bit (Lingzhi and Yingzhi, and Sanbao).

How she showed care even towards people who wronged her, like Aruo, Consort Hui, Consort Jia. How in so many people's final moments, its her that shows up in the end, not anyone else, even the emperor. How she comforted Concubine Mei's fear that she would not be able to recognize her son. How she held no grudge against Consort Rong and gave her the will to go on. Quietly sending food to the abandoned first prince so he wouldn't starve. Applying medicine for Li Yu when he was forced to kneel. Taking care of Aruo despite her being in the wrong and being rightly punished for her behavior. Making sure Suoxin married the good decent man she always dreamed of, and sending her out of the palace after all her sufferings. Saving Liaxin from drowning and helping her get out of an abusive relationship. Having mercy on Yanwan when she was just a maid. Saving Yunche's life from false accusations over and over. Remembering Consort Ying's birthday even when she was barely a month into morning the death of her 3 year old daughter. Showing mercy towards the brothel women when in reality their fates would likely have been death otherwise. Her putting all of her effort to protect Noble Lady Yi and her baby when she lived with her. Sending charcoals to Hailan because she knew, even if she never said it, that she wasn't being given any in the winter.

And many others things I can't even remember.

Ruyi at one point says to Hailan, "In the harem, love is hard to come by, if you let go of even that little amount, what else do we have?"

and I think that summarizes who Ruyi was perfectly. In the decorated chaos and evil that lurks in the palace, it was always Ruyi being there as a beacon of love and care to all of the broken and hurt people. I remember reading a youtube comment that said Ruyi's palace was becoming like a place for the mistreated people to gather, and it's a testament to her character.

Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace is a perfect title, and it's talking about her.
