IT IS DONE

I'm so happy, I've wanted to get this into print since I finished reading it. The gold spots on the cover are metallic and shiny~

It's done in legal quarto, so almost the same size as a paperback, and it fits so nicely in my pocket. I will absolutely be revisiting this one though, because I have Ideas on how to make it even better

[tea-and-cats-and-books]

Yin Hanjiang and Wenren È are one of the few OTP's I have where I love them pretty equally. Usually just one character is my absolute favorite

[dragoncharming]

Yin Hanjiang was very rarely face-to-face with Wenren È. He hardly lifted his head, holding his teacup and watching the steam rise off it without drinking. He was almost like a marionette, with no thoughts of his own. If Wenren È commanded, he acted.

baby boy😭 The meow meow

svsss fans please please please read the devil venerable also wants to know if you haven’t already, i just binge read it all in 3 days bcs i’s only 80 chapters and SO good

why i think svsss fans (like me) will enjoy it:

• it’s satire/makes fun of tropes (subversive!), very refreshing characters and story

• great female cast (the plot actually revolves around a female character, you will grow to love her), girls girl kind of novel, you will at points ship f/f ships more than the main cp (none are canon, unfortunately)

• the main couple is kind of like moshang (demon sect leader and his right hand man) but if sqh was actually lbg? (YHJ lets a man be skinned and wears his skin as part of his revenge plan)

• it’s also a transmigration novel, except the book is the transmigrator

• very oblivious main cp (but it’s obvious how much they care about each other)

• Zhongli Qian (nothing more to add, find out for yourself)

a little heads up:

the romance between the main cp (Wenren È and Yin Hanjiang) is – for the most part – not the main focus of the plot (but they do have great moments throughout and i love how their relationship develops)

also! some people might find the dynamic somewhat problematic, because WRE is about 200 years older and he saved a 5yo YHJ and „raised” him (= left him on his own for 10 years?), but they never have any sort of father/son relationship, plus it takes WRE about 150 years to actually fall in love with YHJ, but just keep all that in mind

that’s all, i just need more people to know about it, because it’s all i can think about right now

Book of the Week: Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know

Author: Cyan Wings/Qing Se Yu Yi (青色羽翼)

Genre: cultivation, ancient setting, danmei

Rating: T

My Synopsis: When a book detailing future events falls from the sky and lands into his hands, Devil Venerable Wenren È becomes curious about how his life could possibly become so entangled with some random female cultivator with terrible, terrible taste in men that he would give his life for her. Yin Hanjiang, his totally-not-in-love-with-shizun disciple, would also like to know.

My Actual Review: If "girl, stand up!" were a novel, this would be it. A great deal of it is humor from Wenren È tryna psychoanalyze why Baili Qingmiao has such terrible taste in men—because all the other women around him are also like “we don’t know wtf is wrong with her either” 😭 Wenren È also has a personality that reminds me a little of Tianlang-jun from svsss (minus the deadbeat dad part). Moments of angst do show up, but they are mostly around character backstory, so be prepared for that when we get flashbacks. I feel like this book has a similar payoff style to 2ha, in that certain details of some characters' backstories are presented early on in a very matter-of-fact way, only to have those details turned on their heads later in the story with the addition of some withheld information. Easily one of my favorite narrative structure styles.

Yes there is an age gap in this romance. No it is not grooming. Wenren È picks the child Yin Hanjiang up out of a corpse pile and drops him off at a waterfall for ten years to basically raise himself lmao. They don't get together until they are both adults. For real content warnings, because the plot of this story is the revision of a stallion, male power fantasy novel, all the scum behaviors of the (previous) male protagonist are shown to be addressed, so yeah.

Translation: complete

[tls123]

you guys really do have to read devil venerable also wants to know, yin hanjiang gives wenren è the moon at one point (not clickbait)

[orchidblacktea]

Yin Hanjiang: I love you so much, I'd literally kill and die for you.

Wenren È: My subordinate is so loyal and he definitely sees me only as his Master.

[anqelbean]

Yin Hanjiang completely failed to clue in onto the fact that Wenren È was trying to ditch him. He quietly followed behind, ready to leave with him.

Seeing his behavior, Wenren È stopped walking, carefully considering what he was about to say. He slowly opened his mouth. “Sect Leader Yin, about the sect leadership while this Venerable is gone, and the search for the traitor…”

Yin Hanjiang’s expression turned blank. He stared silently at Wenren È, seeming to think nothing of his own, simply awaiting his Venerable’s next order.

If Wenren È commanded it, Yin Hanjiang would carry it out to perfection, even if he was unwilling. Wenren È couldn’t continue. Yin Hanjiang maintained his attentive posture, waiting for his Venerable to finish his command.

“…it can be left to Protector Shu. She’s gotten a lot of practice, anyway. Since the other Altar Masters were overcome by her before, they’ll be more wary and less willing to disturb the peace. The matter of the traitor isn’t urgent. We don’t even have any clues now, but it’s possible that if we both leave, Cen Zhengqi will let something slip.” Looking at Yin Hanjiang’s expression, Wenren È finally completed his sentence this way.

IM. WENREN È IS SO WEAK FOR YIN HANJIANG'S PUPPY DOG EYES,,, HE'S LITERALLY FOLLOWING BEHIND HIM LIKE A PUPPY TO IT'S OWNER

[fanghuas]

made this a while back and I think the time is now ripe to share with the world

[incorrect-web-novels]

Wenren È: Hey, Yin Hanjiang, are you a traitor?

Yin Hanjiang: No.

Wenren È: Okay, it’s not him. It must be someone else then.

Preview:

The landscape before them, that had only a few shis ago been a pristine white expanse, was now dotted with a blood red. The crimson streaks livened the pale snow, pleasing to Wenren È’s eyes, that still burned bright with the triumphant rage that came with victory. With a wild smirk, he extended his hand and raised his voice, "Come back!" In the blink of an eye, whirring blood swords flew back to Wenren È, piercing the ground at his feet with a sharp sound before transforming into a half-kneeling body that remained still with his head bowed down. Wenren È reached down to pet Yin Hanjiang’s head, running his fingers through his messy hair, scooping some sullied strands up and twirling them between his fingers in delight. “You did well,” Wenren È said gently, the fury in his eyes simmering down as he gazed at his lover, playing with his hair still. Yin Hanjiang finally raised his head and met Wenren È’s eyes, looking up at him obediently, so submissive and willing, endlessly loyal and fiercely protective of Wenren È.

Aroace-spec Character Tournament

[Please vote for who you believe is the most aroace-spec character, not the most popular. It will never be acceptable to post "anti-propaganda" in this tournament or invalidate a suggested identity because "they're not aroace enough." You will be blocked unless it's clearly a genuine mistake / misphrasing.]

Propaganda underneath the cut

Yin Hanjiang from Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know

Submission: Demisexual demiromantic

Resubmitting him too because, having read the book, he is also not allo. He very clearly draws a line between love and desire, which allo people usually don't do. He spends the entire book being fairly platonically loyal to Wenren E and then when someone explains what love is and he notices that it lines up with how he feels about Wenren E, he's mad about it. Plus the aroace feeling of falling in love with someone and having that shake your entire being to the core. Also, when asked, he doesn't know what love is, but none of the characters in this book do, so.

Mod Propaganda

Literally only cares about Wenren È

“And as for Yin Hanjiang, he actually seemed to deeply believe he was an ice-cold sword, blind and heartless, not caring if what was in front of him was a man, woman, or beast, so long as it wasn’t Wenren È.” - Ch.6

One of the only characters that’s clearly in love/obsessed with someone at the very beginning, but the story clearly talks about how he Only Likes Wenren È specifically, romantically and sexually (probably. Haven’t gotten that far).

Anyway, demisexual and demiromantic.

Wenren È from Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know

Submission: Asexual demiromantic

Resubmitting him because I have now read the book. And oh boy. He is not allo. He spends the whole book being confused about love and romance, and why that, specifically, would be such a huge motivator for people. He has no interest in it besides how it affects someone else and causes them problems. He falls in love by the end but he still doesn't understand how love works for other people at all

Mod Propaganda

“Wenren È cultivated the Path of Slaughter, and when he saw a beautiful woman, his first thought would be what kind of difference there was to fight a woman versus a man.” - Ch.6

The beginning part of the story is just him trying to understand what romance is and why a novel is saying he was in love with Baili Qingmiao.

Interprets “love is always seeing the other person” as “I should force Baili Qingmiao to be able to physically see this boy at all times”

He eventually becomes stupidly in love with Yin Hanjiang, but it’s a Journey. He clearly does not experience/understand romantic and sexual attraction until then (and even then I'm not sure lol)

[angieloveshua]

“This sword doesn’t suit this Venerable’s vanguard.” Wenren È tossed aside the demonic sword and lifted Yin Hanjiang out of his kneeling posture. “This Venerable will forge you a better one.”

“It’s because this subordinate is too weak, and has to rely on the demonic sword’s power,” Yin Hanjiang said.

“No need to worry,” Wenren È said. “As this Venerable’s vanguard, you should naturally follow this Venerable throughout every life. From the cultivation realm to the immortal realm or the demon realm or the divine realm, you must follow me no matter where I go, so how could you let this demonic sword impede your progress?”
