Middle (sort of) of 2024 list - cdrama edition.

Yeah I realize it's neither the end of the year, nor half a year, but what's the point of being predictable? It's also gonna make my end of year post easier. This is only going to cover cdramas that aired in 2024; if I watched it but it was made in a different year, it’s not on the list.

DRAMAS WATCHED

(In order of liking from least to most as opposed to pure quality; I am including if I’ve seen enough to make up my mind; yes I realize that’s inaccurate, but that’s my list)

42 My Divine Emissary - it's actually a pretty good drama year when the worst cdrama I've checked out this year is merely utterly shrill and brain dead but not horrifyingly offensive to good taste.

41 Fight for Love - they had wonderful actors and a great premise and utterly wasted it. There might someday be a good drama about a female general torn between a royal and an enemy general but this ain't it.

40 Peacock in Wonderland - I am a few decades too old for this brain dead fest but I am glad Zhou Jun Wei is not canceled at least.

39 Her Fantastic Adventures - honestly, this, MDE and Revenger are all the same type of subgenre - they aren't offensive they are just as empty as air. This also suffers from casting an utter dud as ML and a charisma boat as SML. Why?

38 Lady Revenger Returns from the Fire - the main thing I remember from this is that Miles Wei must have stolen the wig maker's parking spot. That wig is the one that should have gone into the fire.

37 Your Trap/Imprisoned Love - the plot of this mini made no sense but the softcore vibes of sanitized 1990s cinemax were on point!

36 Fox Matchmaker: The Red Moon Pact - it's so pretty, so full of gorgeous costumes and actors and I enjoyed the first few eps, but ultimately it was like watching colorful paint dry. It was so dull, I couldn't even hate watch it, and that is more damning than anything.

35 The Unexpected Marriage - cutesy dumb period romcom. Could be worse, not that this is much of a praise.

34 Love’s Rebellion - so twee, so precious, so full of cutesy awful CGI and actors who aren't bothering. I am not sure why Zhang Linghe and Jing Tian are in this mess that looks like rainbow vomited on a xianxia set.

33 My Wife's Double Life - her life may be double but her brain is only half.

32 Jade's Fateful Love - I lost some braincells trying this one, but (a) it's gorgeous and (b) no transmigration say you? Multiple transmigration in first ep alone! Good for you, makers!

31 Follow My Heart - how do you have Luo Yunxi, Song Yi and Cheng Lei and waste them so utterly? First few eps were nice and then it's like exercise in how much you can tolerate before you call it quits.

30 Sword and Fairy 4 - it's kinda a mess but I loved the actors and some of the plots and you can do worse.

29 Blossoms in Adversity - dumb as a set of particularly dumb bricks and ML I don't think could act if his life depended on it, but it was strangely addictive and I watched it often before better dramas. It's just a genuinely good time somehow!

28 Judge Dee - it's not you it's me in action. It's smart and gorgeous and well acted, I just don't do procedurals.

27 The Substitute Princess’ Love - it's like some of those trashy web novels I enjoy. It was clearly cut, its budget was equivalent to loose change found in the pockets of makes of Fox Spirit Matchmaker, but it was a surprisingly fun watch, though I enjoyed the first half better than the second. Also as a drama old, it was a fun blast from the past seeing Dylan Kuo (if you have never watched the old twdrama The Outsiders, what are you even doing with your life?)

26 Rise from the Ashes - a wacky as hell mini where reborn FL wreaks revenge with help of her fake uncle as they carry on as some sort of Borgia/Phillip II of Spain fame hybrid. If you don't need to use your brain, you could have a worse time.

25 The Legend of Heroes - it suffered from me seeing other versions of this tale before that I liked more and not loving how dark looking it is but that cast is A+ and Wang Hongyi was a revelation as Yang Kang.

24 Beauty Strategy - a mini of what a few years ago would have been a proper angsty drama of palace scheming enemies while lovers, powerless emperor etc etc. Honestly, I loved it.

23 Lovesickness - this year's gender-reversed Ancient Love Song, not as artistic or good but still a good time about a woman traveling back in time and falling for a powerful but doomed duke.

22 Fragments of Kylin - demon slayer falls for a demon; this one came out of nowhere and didn't have much of a budget but is surprisingly lovely.

21 Enslaved by Love - the only reason it's not the most fucked up drama on this list is because Shadow Sect, Palace Shadows and Burning Flames exist. The ML is toxic enough to be banned by the Geneva convention but FL does get some of her own back and also if you ever wanted to see blindness curing sex, boy do I have a drama for you!

20 Secrets of the Shadow Sect - head of sect lady and her very very subby bodyguard. What's not to love?

19 Palace Shadows: Between Two Princes - ML pretends to be his own twin, bdsm and sluttiness ensues. I cannot even explain how wild this drama is but the acting is on point and way way fun!

18 Dashing Youth - I had no expectations of this drama (either indifferent to or dislike everyone in the cast, wuxia and wuxia-adjacent is rarely my genre, the number of characters is huge) but I loved how under its bright colors, it eventually gets very dark (it's quite old school that way) and somehow I am invested in everyone in the huge cast. This being a prequel to The Blood of Youth makes us know the fates of many of the characters and this adds the air of tragic inevitability to it all.)

17 The Last Immortal - a surprisingly sweet and touching xianxia that works largely because Zhao Lusi and Wang Anyu are so so so so solid separately and together.

16 Burning Flames - the most gonzo drama on this list. I love it for committing to insanity as it should (if you pick insane source material, commit.) Humans taking on the worst Gods since Olympus, fur and chains, sentient crystal FL, ML who goes from Crown Prince to mine slave to rebel leader, bare chests and fur, demon elves, a villain that leaches color from the world - this drama has everything and I loved its unhinged glory.

15 Lost You Forever 2 - it would have been higher except it fell apart in the last third so badly I am still wondering how the makers could misunderstand their own characters and their own narratives so badly. The first season was a masterpiece. This is a hot mess.

14 The Princess Royal/The Grand Princess - I am in the minority of finding this drama very mid. The acting was fine (except for former eunuch dude), the writing was fine, but I never really got invested alas. I don't even know why. I think it's just not my type of narrative; there was no intensity.

13 Different Princess - a ridiculous amount of fun and ship about an author falling through to her own novel and falling for the villain.

12 Sword and Fairy 6 - I love this tale; the young OTP (a whale weapon and a clone of her trigger? More wholesome than you think) who are so ride or die for each other, the other amazing characters (sect leader who has to live as a man and her "twin" who is an ancient trapped spirit, a wolf demon, etc...) It's just genuinely good and proof that targeted to younger audience doesn't have to be bad.

11 In Blossom - sure, we all know JJY can't act, but the narrative was so fun and the visuals were so gorgeous and Liu Xueyi so gorgeous and magnetic in his first proper Male Lead role, it was all worth it. I liked the first half when they were still cautious of each other more than the second but this is just a good time!

10 Hard to Find - my second favorite mini on the list, this is an aesthetic feast. The doomed couple from enemy kingdoms, the vengeance, the twists - if ever a mini deserved to be a proper drama, this would be it. But alas, if it was they'd probably not let it.

9 The Double - unhinged web novel vibe done so perfectly in the inimitable Yu Zheng style. The leads were so good even the amazing villains didn't truly steal the show. Like with a lot of cdramas, it lost a lot of steam in second half for me, but still a great watch.

8 Fortune Writer - the best mini this year and better than most "proper" cdramas (Douban raters agree), this tale of villains in love fighting the narrative has a lot to say about writing cliches and writing conventions. I love how clever it is and how it actually made me care for the characters.

7 Tender Light - except for that ending, this was in the running for my favorite 2024 cdrama. The writers' lack of ability to commit and carry through pushed it lower but otherwise it's a genuine masterpiece. The acting, the chemistry, the looping narrative, what it has to say about abuse and complicity of society and blazing your own moral path is something else.

6 Derailment - who knew a little quasi scifi modern would be this high but this one is amazing. If you watch one modern this year, make it this one. Our FL is a rich girl a little in the future who somehow wakes up in a different timeline a few years back in the body of that universe's version of her (who is poor and has been missing) and her one connection is a young man who was in love with that universe's version of her. I don't want to say more so as not to spoil because the twists are twisty but this is EVERYTHING and also addresses transmigration, what it means to love, what is ethical etc etc. And that OTP!

5 Snowfall - a fever dream of a vampire narrative set in an alternate universe of the Republican era, it's gorgeous, passionate, hella queer and just like watching the most amazing fanfic come to life.

4 Heroes - a complete masterpiece about three men about to be on the scrapheap of history in the Qing Dynasty about to fall (a constable devoted to obsolete norms, who spent his whole life studying for the imperial exam which got canceled, the world's best swordsman in the era of guns, and a former imperial guard who emerges from prison into a different world) whose stories intersect as they search for treasure and the women and other people in their lives. This is smart, impeccably acted, filmed in a stunning way, bleak and funny at once and - I don't use the term masterpiece often but I will use it here.

3 The Legend of Shen Li - I am often indifferent to xianxia that suffers from too much CGI, hella immaturity and not enough stakes. Shen Li is everything. It's gorgeously filmed, it's adult, it gives the story time to breathe and centers it on characters and relationships. And the OTP is everything you can ever dream of - it reunites Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin, totally healing those Princess Agents wounds - their chemistry is still utter fire but the narrative supports them every step of the way.

2 Eternal Brotherhood - if JoL2 did not come out this year, this would be my favorite cdrama of the year. It's clearly a passion project with a small budget but this complex and grim tale of three rather different sworn brothers in a world at war is gorgeous, smart, well acted, dark and inspiring at once. There are shots that take my breath away, the love stories are amazing, the pace is perfect, and ohhh our complex mainsssssss.

1 Joy of Life 2 - nothing can beat this masterpiece. The first season was perfect and somehow the second is even more perfect. It's smart, it's funny, it's heartbreaking, the cast is still impeccable and Zhang Ruoyun still gives a completely jawdropping performance as the focus of all the madness Fan Xian. If you watch only one cdrama this year, make it this one.

FAVORITE DRAMA

Joy of Life 2 - there is not one second I forwarded, not one unnecessary scene, not one weak link character. It's a smart, fierce masterpiece.

Eternal Brotherhood is a runner up - it came out of nowhere and owned my whole heart. It's the sole other cdrama this year where I did not ff a second.

WORST DRAMA

My Divine Emissary - honestly, this is a decent year because even this drama was just "forget it" not burning hate.

FAVORITE MALE CHARACTER

Fan Xian (Zhang Ruoyun), Joy of Life 2 - how could it ever be anyone but smart, irreverent, fierce, broken, idealistic, funny Fan Xian. The man who fights against the horrors of the universe, who remains human while being so larger than life. This character is everything.

Runner up: Zhou Luo (Zhang Xincheng), Tender Light - idealistic loner who refuses to compromise his principles even as it would be easier to, even as it destroys his life, ZXC has always been a solid actor but here he is beyond.

Alternatively, Zichuan Xiu (Yang Xuwen), Eternal Brotherhood - only way to describe Xiu is "trauma sunshine." He's funny, he's irrevocably fucked up, he is magnetic and intense and he fights for his hopeless ideals and he breaks and he keeps going.

or Xing Zhi (Lin Gengxin), the lonely ancient god discovering the pleasure of life for the first time in aeons.

FAVORITE FEMALE CHARACTER

Shen Li (Zhao Liying), The Legend of Shen Li - so fierce, so certain, so alive. She is a goddess but ZLY made her feel so real.

Runner up: Nan Ya (Tong Yao), Tender Light - an abuse victim who keeps trying to find a way out, she's strong and damaged and complex and honestly, one of the best performances this year.

Alternatively, Jiang Xiao Yuan (Liu Haocun), Derailment - she makes a character that in other hands would be boring or trite, someone I want to reach through to the screen and protect and love.

NEEDS TO BE MURDERED

99% of the denizens of the town in Tender Light - selfish every day denizens monstrous because of their very everydayness - they watch abuse and choose to blame the victim and gossip and enjoy the view. I hated them all.

FAVORITE SHIP

Shen Li x Xing Zhi, The Legend of Shen Li - the chemistry, the yearning, the slow inevitable collapse into admittance, the way he protects the world and she protects him, the way they dance around each other, her being the aggressor, his surrender to forbidden emotion, their utter mutual belief in each other's competence. They are everything to me.

Runner up: the OTP in Derailment. Those two went through some mind and soul breaking stuff and made it out.

FAVORITE SECONDARY OTP

Amusingly enough, Fu Xin Bo is the male actor in both - the crossdressing sect leader x wolf demon OTP in Sword and Fairy 6, and First Prince x Eldest Princess in Joy of Life 2. What can I say, man knows how to pick them. Those OTPs are both utterly adorable!

If we are talking about an OTP where it's not that it's not the main but it's not a ship-centric drama so they don't get much time, then we have either Fan Xian x Lin Wan'er from Joy of Life 2 - she is his peace and sanity

and Si Yilin x Ka Dan, Eternal Brotherhood - they are both such desperately good people in a mad world, tender with each other despite surrounding cruelty.

NOTP

The couple in Fox Spirit Matchmaker - such pretty people, and so bland and boring and pointless together. It was kinda amazing.

FAVORITE SCENE

God, so many good scenes this year so far - Fan Xian watching the death of the old censor and the aftermath, in JoL2; his confrontation with Wan'er after she finds out about the truth behind her brother's death, the scene where he poisons Second Prince, his scene with the registrar. Xiu giving up his future to protect the surrendered soldiers only to come back and find Di Lin executed them all in EB, the scene in Ning's bedroom when he tells her how he really feels because she can't hear, the very end of that season and Di Lin striding into the light, Ka Dan and SYL's night. The last scene of LYN and his girl in Heroes, the way Heroes always intercuts the golden past of the guard and princess and the dreary present (especially when we see her bicycle spin out of control back when and her husband lose it in the present and this time there is nobody to catch her), the big reveal in Derailment and the hairwashing scene, Mi Lan touching Vamp Daddy's face as their thing in Snowfall, and the cage stuff etc etc.

BIGGEST CRUSH

Shen Zhiheng (Gao Weiguang), Snowfall - Vamp Daddy made me hormonal in a way I haven't felt for a cdrama lead since the heady days of Darren Wang in The Wolf. Those outfits, that hair, that height, that restraint, that lack of restraint. THE CHAINS

BEST SCENE STEALER CHARACTER

Liu Duan Duan as Second Prince in Joy of Life 2 - what a performance! Unhinged, magnetic, pitiable, terrifying and always mesmerizing. The Second Prince is Fan Xian's foil and a worthy one. LDD is always a great actor, and with a role that actually gives him something to sink his teeth into - wow!

MVP OF THE YEAR

Liu Yuning (Heroes, Eternal Brotherhood) - there is only one actor who somehow managed to be a main character in two of my five top 2024 dramas. His ruthless, driven Di Lin in EB, who knows he's doomed as the ruler's executioner but has no other way forward, and the man out of time (best swordsman in a gun era) in Heroes are both unforgettable characters in amazing dramas.

ACTING SURPRISE

Ouyang Nana - Li Muge performs miracles. He made Yang Chaoye be good in Heroes (2022) and now Nana, who was always as wooden as a post, is a revelation as blind abused girl who becomes a vampire in Snowfall.

NEEDS A SEQUEL

Joy of Life 2 of course - I need to see the looming confrontation between Fan Xian and the emperor, though not sure how that will pass censorship.

NEEDS SCISSORS TAKEN TO IT

FF button has cured me of finding contenders for this category, but perhaps cutting out a lot of terrible acting and lack of stage presence of "not yet a eunuch" dude in The Princess Royal, would have improved it.

TOO MANY SCISSORS TAKEN TO IT

Lost You Forever 2 - there were other issues with it, but all the cuts couldn't have helped with coherency.

TROPE THAT NEEDS TO DIE

Same as last year - the emperor cannot be irredeemable. WTF, China, you are a communist country! Though they are nibbling at the edges this year.

FAVORITE TROPE WE’VE SEEN A LOT OF

Men (and women) knowingly fighting for a doomed cause because otherwise they'd cease to be who they are.

BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT

Lost Your Forever 2 - the first season was my favorite drama of 2023 but LYF2 just fell apart so so so badly, it was almost fascinating. It totally eviscerated the characters and the meanings of the story.

BIGGEST GOOD SURPRISE

Three out of the top 5 dramas on my list are not dramas that were on my radar at all before airing - Heroes, Eternal Brotherhood and Snowfall were not anything I anticipated, let alone I realized how much I'd love them. Same for Derailment and Tender Light. This has been a year of surprises.

2024 DRAMAS I HAVEN’T SEEN THAT I MOST WANT TO WATCH

I have honestly watched almost everything I wanted. Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2 will be the one I will list since I still need to finish s1.

BEST NON-2024 DRAMA I’VE WATCHED IN 2024

Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty - I, a procedural and mystery hater (especially when there is close to no romance) somehow fell like a ton of bricks for this gorgeous, smart, impeccably acted show.

MOST ANTICIPATED

This is always a bad idea and kinda a curse but I really really want The Story of Pearl Girl, with Zhao Lusi and Liu Yuning because I love them separately and together and the thought of them reuniting is a dream come true. Also Eternal Brotherhood 2 (it's filmed but they can't air it until a year from EB1), Love of Nirvana with Ren Jialun and Li Landi, and Snowy Night: Timeless Love with Li Qin and Zheng Shunxi.

Best Underrated Anime Group G Round 2: #G6 vs #G4

#G6: Emperor and Empress bodyswap in ancient China

#G4: Three girls decide to open an animation club

Details and poll under the cut!

#G6: No Doubt in Us (Liang Bu Yi)

Summary:

Within the Chinese imperial court, stern-faced Emperor Xiao Jinyun and spirited Empress Xu Yu are at constant odds with one another. But the universe has an interesting way to solve their issues: an accident causes the two to switch bodies, forcing them to put themselves in the other’s shoes—literally. Now responsible for unfamiliar duties and court dynamics, the Emperor and the Empress must navigate the maintenance of their identities, unruly concubines, and the nation itself. In doing so, Xiao Jinyun and Xu Yu’s personal qualities and unconventional skills find new purpose, and a sense of understanding and compassion grows between the two.

However, great threats loom within and outside the court. If the imperial astrologer cannot discover the key to switching them back in time, then internal strife and suspicion may lead to the duo's untimely demise.

Propaganda:

Liang Bu Yi/No Doubt in Us is one of the most interesting donghua I’ve ever watched. The characters have varying personalities and, because it’s set in ancient China, are rather unique. Considering that Emperors had to keep harems and the fact that this is a straight couple rom-com makes the drama rather spicy. Plus, the Empress is far more qualified in the things a woman in those times wouldn’t be interested in, like sword fighting, archery etc.

To be honest, the contrast between Xu Yu (the Empress) and Xiao Jinyun (the Emperor) results in the show being far more interesting than other ones with the same trope.

Trigger Warnings: None.

#G4: Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! (Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!)

Summary:

Midori Asakusa draws detailed landscapes and backgrounds of both the world around her and the one within her boundless imagination. Even the simple act of doodling on a wall evolves into an emergency repair on the outer hull of her spaceship. She is only brought back to reality by her best friend Sayaka Kanamori. The two are stark opposites, with Asakusa’s childlike wonder contrasted by Kanamori’s calculated approach to life.

After a chance encounter where the two “save” the young model Tsubame Misuzaki from her overprotective bodyguard, a connection instantly sparks between Asakusa and Misuzaki, as both share an intense passion for art and animation. Whereas Asakusa is interested in backgrounds and settings, Misuzaki loves drawing the human form. Sensing a money-making opportunity, Kanamori suggests that they start an animation club. Thus begins the trio’s journey of producing animation that will awe the world.

Propaganda:

It’s playing with animation in a really cool way, AND it is just gorgeous. The backgrounds are done in a beautiful painterly style, and each environment is detailed and evokes wonder.

Each of the three girls is a unique and fleshed-out character, and their interactions and blossoming friendship are super fun and wholesome to watch. The dialogue is also very realistic—it really feels like what three high school nerdy girl friends would talk about. Each has her own strengths, in animation, organization and craft, such that they really come together as a team and manage to make something beautiful.

The show is fun, heartwarming and doesn’t take itself too seriously, but at the same time it is so so sincere. Quiet and serious moments can be quiet and serious without needless bathos, and fun sequences (like a chase through the school) are given extra effort to be zany and funny, and fully animated in both senses of the word. Above all, you feel a strong love for animation and deep wonder of the world permeating the series.

Trigger Warnings: Flashing lights in the opening theme

Why Shi Qingxuan IS TGCF's Plum Blossom

Heaven’s Plum Blossom❀➢

Throughout Heaven’s Official Blessing Shi Qingxuan’s character represents both uplifting joy and resilience in the face of unimaginable hardship, the same values as the plum tree’s blossoms. During his first appearance as a character, Qingxuan works to defend Xie Lian –our protagonist– and also defend the truth. He then is seen further assisting Xie Lian through their adventures in Ghost City, bringing a characteristic flair and positivity to the third realm. He then faces unimaginable hardship, imprisonment in the Black Water Demon lair, and loss of godhood. But even as a beggar, as a mere mortal. Qingxuan showcases that flair and positivity still kept his positive outlook, and still fought for the greater good.

We met Qingxuan disguised as a lady during the Banyue Pass arc of the series, and from that point forward he was characterized by the greater good and his positivity. When all of heaven is called to meet before Jun Wu in the Palace of Divine Might, Qingxuan defends Xie Lian and the true events of Banyue Pass unfazed by the threats from Pei Ming, unwavering in his defense. From these early moments we are informed that Qingxuan’s guiding ideals are pure, and that he is a agent for the greater good.

Immediately following this arc we see Qingxuan alongside Xie Lian venture into Ghost City to investigate a distress signal scene in that region. Another dangerous task he takes up even without being a combat focused martial god. Throughout this whole arc we see Qingxuan assist Xie Lian and face their challenges with bravery and optimism. He doesn’t shy away from the unknown dangers hidden in ghost city, all because someone else's life was on the line, someone they weren’t even sure was still alive. And all the while he keeps his characteristic flair, from costume changes to gender changes, Qingxuan’s look remains a defining portion of his identity.

We next time Qingxuan is seen of substantively is in the beginning of the Black Water arc, where he in ernest meets strife. From betrayal by his best friend, to discovery of his brother’s deceit, Qingxuan is repeatedly bombarded with hard choices, hard to swallow information, and we finally see his joyous stature falter. In the start of this arc, we see Qingxuan try to keep a hold on positivity while he jokes with Ming Yi and makes Xie Lian and Hua Cheng play a silly game. But after he is imprisoned twice, we see him react to his dangerous circumstance more logically, with fear. But even while in the disgusting prison of the Black Water Demon Lair, Qingxuan’s appearance still signals the purity he represents, his white robes being a point of contrast against the muddy prisoners around him. Even when he is knocked down, he still represents that perseverance.

The last appearance we see of Qingxuan is in the mortal capitol, where beaten, bruised and a beggar, he still offers to put his life on the line for others. He is the first, and the leader of the rest of his beggar colony to join the fight against the spirits of Mt. Tonglu. Qingxuan shows his dedication to the greater good, and his pure spirit with his unwavering desire to help others, a desire unswayed by being a mortal ejected from heaven. During this meeting we also see his symbolic appearance take importance again, with his bright teal eyes serving as the shibboleth to alert Xie Lian to his identity. Once again, even in times of extreme strife and when he has been knocked down as far as anyone could possibly be, he still wants to help, he still shines brightly if even through just his eyes.

Now this is all true, but how does that relate to the plum blossom? In the cultural traditions of both Chinese and Japanese culture, the Plum Blossom represents the ideals of perseverance and hope, just like Qingxuan. As the first flowers to blossoms in late winter and early spring, their bright colors poking out from the dead environment signal the hope of a forthcoming spring. Plum blossoms also represent purity of the mind and the ability to elegantly overcome challenges as they do when blooming in winter. Qingxuan’s ideals of the greater good, and his flair ever present when fighting against even the harshest of evils perfectly exemplifies this. 

Through both his actions and appearance Qingxuan’s identity is intrinsically that of the Plum Blossom. Perseverance through hardship, grace, bravery, elegance, hope and purity are words equally interchangeable between the two. When looking at Qingxuan, you shouldn’t just see him as a supporting character in the book series, but see him as the purest form of good and the most representative god in heaven of the greater good. His elegant problem solving, dedication to helping mortals, and commitment to the greater good even when in the face of indomitable evil shows why Qingxuan, falsely ascended, is most deserving of godhood. if you found this remotely interesting, give it a kudo on Ao3!

Do you all remember that Random Star Guardian poll I did a few months back? What if I did that again but with Battle Academia?

Battle Academia Rell: A student handpicked by her parents to exceed beyond others, Rell's sense of rebellion has earned her a place among Labrys Academy. But in spite of her reputation, Rell only cares about two things: Doing what she wants, and beating bullies to a pulp with her trusty steed.

Battle Professor Jarvan IV: A former hero turned professor, Jarvan has found a new purpose in training the next generation of warriors. He is often strict and unapologetic about any rule breaking, but if anything threatens his students, he will be ready to defend them all, like a dragon protects their own.

Battle Academia Viktor: A member of the Luminary club with an affinity for cybernetics and harnessing magic in a steel shell, Viktor acts as Jayce’s sometimes rival sometimes lab partner as they test their limits and learn how to best help those who can’t help themselves.

Battle Professor Master Yi: A wise teacher in Amrita God Weapon Academy, Master Yi was once a well renowned hero who balanced his quiet sense of calm with incredible swordplay. He has never been beaten with a blade, but never stops encouraging his students to catch him off guard.

Battle Academia Talon: The adopted brother of Katarina with a hidden love of Spirit Blossom Manga, Talon's heart burns with envy at his older sister's position as head of the assassin club.

God. I was so close to finally getting my sleep deprived, chronically fatigued ass to sleep. But then the moon was there, all lovely and bright, and now I've finally finished a mini series I first began uploading in January of 2020. So before I edit it like a responsible adult, here is what I was listening to while I wrote it because it's good music and also I don't think it's guessable based on it.

"Reshaping the Dragon: Xi Jinping's Strategic Vision for China's Economic Renaissance"

In the spirit of President Obama's eloquence and his adeptness at addressing complex issues with clarity and inspiration, let's translate your inquiry into English:

The question you've posed—how President Xi Jinping is reshaping China's economy through a strategy of "establishing before breaking"—is indeed profound and reflects a deep consideration of the strategic maneuvers within China's economic policy framework. On this day, March 5th, 2024, at 6:53 AM, through the lens of the I Ching divination, we embark on a journey to unravel this query, guided by the cosmic alignment at the specified moment.

The alignment—marked by the Year of Jia Chen, the Month of Bing Yin, the Day of Ding Mao, and the Hour of Ding Wei, along with the presence of various astrological elements such as the Traveling Horse in Yin, the Peach Blossom in You, and the Day Wealth in Yi, among others—paints a vivid tableau of the celestial influences at play.

Our divination casts the Water Wind Well hexagram from the Zhen palace, a symbol of profound transformation and purification, which is emblematic of President Xi's approach: a deep and methodical recalibration of the economic structures and policies to foster sustainable growth and resilience. This process, akin to the cleansing and renewal offered by a well, signifies the introduction of new economic philosophies and the removal of outdated practices that no longer serve the nation's interests.

Key positions within the hexagram, such as the Father-Mother in Water at the position of the Vermilion Bird, and the Wife-Wealth in Earth at the position of the Azure Dragon, underscore the strategic emphasis on long-term development and the reallocation of resources and financial reforms. These moves are aimed at revitalizing the economy and ensuring stability. Meanwhile, the presence of the Son-Grandson Fire, obscured by the Official-Ghost Metal, suggests the challenges and resistance that may arise from entrenched interests during the implementation of these reforms.

However, the spirit of reform is resilient, with the law and regulatory frameworks (signified by the Official-Ghost in Metal at the position of the White Tiger) playing a crucial role in ensuring the success and fairness of these initiatives. The cooperation and exchange with international partners, represented by the Brothers Wood hidden in the Father-Mother Water, are highlighted as critical to addressing global economic challenges together.

In essence, President Xi's strategy of "establishing before breaking" is a testament to the profound structural adjustments, policy clarity, and optimized resource allocation that are being pursued. These efforts, though met with challenges, are underpinned by a commitment to legal and regulatory fortification and a spirit of collaboration, both domestically and internationally. This path, while fraught with obstacles, promises a reinvigorated and sustainable economic future for China, a testament to the enduring spirit of reform and resilience that defines the nation's journey.

As we reflect on the transformations ushered in by the Communist Party of China since the founding of the People's Republic, it's clear that the dynamics of "vested interest groups" have been an integral part of the economic, political, and social evolution. These groups, benefiting from existing policies and structures, often pose challenges to reformative efforts. However, identifying and navigating the interests of these groups is essential for fostering progress and ensuring the successful implementation of reforms aimed at the greater good of the nation and its people.

In this era of change, it's crucial to recognize the nuanced and evolving landscape of China's economy and society. The journey of reform is complex, requiring the balancing of interests, the breaking of old paradigms, and the establishment of new ones for a prosperous and equitable future. It's a journey that demands wisdom, courage, and collaboration, reflecting the enduring quest for progress and the betterment of the nation and its people.

This translation endeavors to encapsulate the essence of your inquiry through a style reminiscent of President Obama's, highlighting the strategic depth and forward-looking vision that characterize the approach to economic reform under President Xi Jinping's leadership.

And yes, there's a special guest, from goose goose goose✨️.

Xue Yang's fierce corpse training ground, Jingjing 📍📍

The training ground is one of the places where the team dimple quartet act free and savage with each other in a joking way.

Mo xuanyu: Yao gege, this is what yangyang and I are up to when we're bored.

Yao: I see.

Xue yang: sometimes I make useless fierce corpses that can't fight, when I'm bored.

Mo xuanyu: one time we made a fierce corpse who would slap someone whenever they say candy is nasty or you're not hot.

Su she: why don't you gift it to huaisang?

Xue yang: good idea. But I would miss him.

Yao: lol, does Shanshan help you two?!

Su she: me and fierce corpses? No.

Xue yang: he's too busy being a simp.

Su she: that too. But I'm a proud simp.

Mo xuanyu: we all are.

Minshan has a shrine of you by the way.

Su she: don't tell him!! Please!

Yao: lol I know already. Chengmei told me.

Su she: *nervous* is it weird, Huangdi?

Yao: nooo, I find it's adorable.

And effective when I take over the world.

Xue yang: love that! And love you. Hehehehehe.

Mo xuanyu: don't listen to xue yang, cuz I love you.

Yao: lol.

Xue yang: we should plan some world domination for real.

Su she: want me start an indoctrination. I'm chief cultivator after all.

Mo xuanyu: Yao gege, just say the word.

Yao: no no! You three insane people. I don't want to. I was only joking.

Xue yang: do you just feel to take it over just a little! Jiggybuns. You know you can with that excessive power you have.

Yao: maybe, you'll never know!

Anyways I rather people live their life and make their own decisions in accordance to their sect and environment of course.

My worlds are Song'er, A-niang, team dimple, Xichen and the hulijing empire

Mo xuanyu: *sniffles* Jiggy, that's beautiful.

Su she: true example of power and responsibility. But you run the whole Jianghu though.

Xue yang: so you're saying that you don't want my fierce corpses to eat people? Should I plant bombs instead?

Yao: *laughing* please no, Chengmei.

~~

Later that day! A-Yao has a well known guest.

Yao and Rusong: *sitting in his (A-Yao's ) imperial court.

Team dimple were also seated.

Yi: Huangdi, the fox scholar is here to meet you. Should I bring him in?

Yao: *opens fan* you may.

Yi: *shouting* hulijing scholar, and your wife, the rabbit spirit! The emperor summons you!

Fox scholar: *kowtows, by dramatically flopping on the ground* accept my greetings, hulijing Huangdi and hulijing Dianxia.

Tuzi spirit: *bows* greetings Huangdi and Dianxia.

Yao: please, please rise. *smile*

Fox scholar: yes

Mo xuanyu: *whispers* this fox scholar seems very passionate.

Su she: he's being patriotic towards his emperor.

Xue yang: I think that's how he is.

Do you think he might prank Jiggy?

Mo xuanyu: heck no. And that's illegal.

Rusong: *glaring at team dimple*

*whispers* team D.

Trio: *pouting* we'll be quiet, little highness.

Yao: I heard that you're very talented. You're the master of tricks and disguise. I applaud you.

Fox scholar: I feel so fortunate to be complimented by the hulijing emperor.

Yao: please, would you demonstrate your talents.

Fox scholar: yes Huangdi.

Yao: would you like some tea or wine?

Fox scholar: *pulls a cup out from his sleeve.* no need, my gracious emperor. I have brought my own.

Tuzi spirit: *makes some wine appear*

Yao: *flutters fan in amusement*

Rusong: waw.

Tuzi spirit: *pours*

Fox scholar: hold it for me, darling. I can't drink before I pay respects to Huangdi.

Tuzi spirit: mn.

Yao: *makes tail appear*

Fox scholar: *kneels and puts the tip of A-Yao's tail in his hand respectfully.* my Huangdi.

*makes a rose appear*

Yao: ah, such a gentleman.

Fox scholar: *kisses his hand formally, then went back to where he was standing.

Tuzi spirit: here's your wine.

Yao: Song'er. When you become Huangdi, your dear citizens will greet you like this. It's a sweet gesture.

Rusong: how beautiful.

Fox scholar: do you feel thirsty, Huangdi? *makes a peach blossom tree appear in the middle of the court.* I'll make peach blossom tea for you. I know that you're fond of imported and expensive tea.

Yao: oh my goodness! A tree, in my court?! *flutters fan*

Fox scholar: the best for you.

Rusong and team dimple: *awestruck*

Su she: beautiful!! *worrying that it might obstruct A-Yao's court meetings.*

Xue yang: this dude is cool!

Yao: how excellent.

Fox scholar: *hands him a cup of peach blossom tea*

Yao: thank you.

Fox scholar: here you go, Dianxia.

Rusong: thank you.

Yao: delicious tea.

Now tell me, what am I supposed to do with an indoor tree. *laughing*

Fox scholar: you can have it as an indoor plant.

Yao: you're so witty. I love it.

Fox scholar: *traps the tree magically in a sapphire stone* I would like to present the tree on the go to you.

Here you go.

Yao: *smile* such a precious gift. Thank you.

Yi: *collects it for him*

Fox scholar: you know, Huangdi. I'm actually allergic to peach blossoms.

Yao: oh really? I'm so sorry.

Fox scholar: no no, Huangdi, don't be sorry. I just-- *sneezes*

When he sneezed, a shower of peach blossom petals fell on A-Yao.

Yao: *amused*

Fox scholar: for Huangdi.

Yao: I'm so appeased. You're certainly favored by me.

Fox scholar: *bows*

Fox scholar: what do you need, Dianxia?

Rusong: can you make instruments play by itself?

Fox scholar: sure I can.

And I can sing and dance too

*instruments began to play on its own*

Yao: *smiling brightly*

*opens fan*

Some minutes later......

Fox scholar: how was it, Huangdi?

Yao: so delightful. You're very very talented.

I'm happy to meet someone so gifted.

Rusong: we loved it a lot.

And I see that you're favored by Huangdi. *smiling*

Yao: *smile* please. Show me more of your wittiness.

Fox scholar: emperor shall I whisper it to you? Yet I'm afraid I might be sucked into those deep dimples.

Yao: *giggles* haha! You're such a darling.

Mo xuanyu: Fox scholar be stating facts!

Xue yang: yup!

Su she: Agreed.

Fox scholar: my dimpled Huangdi. I don't have a permanent home, as a fox spirit, you're automatically my Huangdi. Permission to stay in Jingjing's capital.

Yao: you can stay as much as you like.

Fox scholar: thank you! What about you, Dianxia?

Rusong: sure. I would love that.

Fox scholar: you both are gracious.

Now may my wife and I take your leave?

Yao: of course and it was a pleasure meeting you.

Before you leave, please accept these gifts. It's a few poetry books from my library.

Fox scholar: thank you so much, Huangdi. I'll cherish this! I take your leave.

*exits along with his wife*

Yao: lovely!

Song'er, do you find it fun to meet these personalities?

Rusong: definitely.

Yao: great.

You must get used to it, as you'll be Huangdi soon.

Rusong: mn.

~~

Later on, A-Yao met with a few fox spirits, who came to admire him. Since that some fox spirits are honoured and worshipped, the Hulijing Huangdi must be honoured too~~ for prosperity and abundance in the empire and their personal lives.

Yao: *sits* hello, dear hulijing citizens.

*bows* greetings Huangdi.

*lights three incense each*

May our huangdi give us prosperity.

*offers him fruits, wine and fried tofu.

Yao: how thoughtful. Thank you for the offerings.

*offers flowers*

Yao: they're beautiful.

Give us prosperity, huangdi.

Yao: definitely.

Our beloved Huangdi.

A few hulijing citizens took turns kisses his hand.

Yao: everyone in the empire will definitely be prosperous and successful.

Thank you Huangdi! *bows*

Huangdi, here's a flowered crown for you.

Yao: how lovely. *takes of his hat. Then they placed it on him.

Huangdi your dimples are really cute.

Yao: I see! Do you want to touch them.

Mo xuanyu: Yao gege is always so adorable. Why is he adorable.

Like is there a moment whe he's not cute.

Xue yang: he's cute when he sleeps too.

Su she: stalker!

Xue yang: but you want with me as well, Shanshan.

Su she: shhh.

Su she: *kowtows* Huangdi.

Yao: *smile* Minshan.

.

Su she: here are some peonies.

Yao: aww how lovely.*caresses the flowers, admiring them*

Su she: please, I want to play the guqin for my master.

Yao: go ahead.

Su she: you're really really cute. And you do so much for the empire.

Yao: *smile*

Su she: can you give Moling Su some good fortune too?

Yao: of course! I could never refuse you.

Su she: thank you, Huangdi. *begins*

Yao: delightful music.

Xue yang: here are some candies, Jiggy. Love you!

Yao: love you too.

Mo xuanyu: *kisses his hand* cutest of all hulijings.

Yao: Yuyu. My sweetheart.

I hope team dimple prospers too.

Team Dimple: thank you Huangdi.

Fox spirit citizen: Huangdi, my children are getting married.

Yao: great news. I hope they have a happy married life.

Huangdi, I'm now a successful merchant, thanks to you.

Yao: oh sweet. That's my duty as Huangdi.

Some random child: Huangdi, Huangdi. Can I call you Foxy gege?

Yao: *smile* certainly you can.

Mo xuanyu: he's really sweet.

Su she: love seeing Huangdi getting worshipped, hehe. I hope the Jianghu does the same.

Xue yang: you know he has the power to make the Jianghu do it.

Mo xuanyu: definitely.

Su she: if that ever happens, I'm going to turn the cloud recesses into a temple.

Xue yang: and what are you going to do to the Lans?

Su she: I haven't decided yet.

Maybe I'll tie them up somewhere.

Or cook them.

Mo xuanyu: omg.

Xue yang: shanshan, I thought you were vegetarian.

Su she: I'm not going to eat them.

Xichen: Yao Huangdi.

Xue yang: who invited him?

Mo xuanyu: how did he get here.

Su she: and what is that in his hands?!

Team d: *judging him* lipsy.

Yao: *smiles* Zewu Jun.

Xichen: you sound so regal when you call me by my title.

Su she: Huangdi always sound regal.

Xue yang: even during alone time, when he's being hot with team dimple.

Mo xuanyu: ugh. Shanshan, hit him with your guqin.

Su she: *sighs* I wish I could.

Yao: team dimple. *glares*

Team d: we'll behave, Huangdi.

Xichen: here's some loquats, for Huangdi.

Yao: aw, how precious. I'll enjoy these.

Xichen: this is on the behalf of the Lans.

Yao: ah. Well they'll also have success in their cultivation.

Xichen: *kisses his dimple*

Team d: *almost faints*

Fox spirits citizens: *cheering for their Huangdi*

Yao: *cheerfully smiling*

~~

Our beloved Huangdi, may we take your leave?

Huangdi we're so satisfied to see you and your dimples.

Yao: thank you. And yes, you're free to leave.

I loved all your offerings. Good fortune is once again established in the empire and the rest of the Jianghu.

Salutations Huangdi!
