This scene was absolutely breathtaking. Wang Ye and Zhang Chulan simply sat around and talked but it was so fascinating. It relied on Neo Hou's ability to carry the gravity of the situation and that really paid off. Wow.

I loved that Wang Ye didn't care about the contest or the prize at all. He was there to offer Zhang Chulan a choice: I've seen the future and if you continue down this path, something horrible will happen. Stop. Let it go. But Zhang Chulan refused, of course, convinced he could bear the responsibility and the consequences. And Wang Ye simply let him. He was disappointed but he let Zhang Chulan do as he wanted. Like he said, I'm here to offer you a choice, not to make the choice for you. That was... wow. Honestly.

Thank you, Filter, for giving us a wet Tan Jianci with smudged makeup. In other words: today's procrastination result.

Love in Pavilion will be one of those rare shows I won't be watching for the OTP but for the supporting roles, side stories and cameo appearances.

The main couple just doesn't work for me in the trailers, but Neo Hou (apparently playing a genuinely sinister supernatural being for once), Ding Yuxi, Meng Ziyi and bunch of others on my computer screen! I might be fast-forwarding this baby but fast-forwarding with anticipation.

This Hundred Eyed Demon is going to meet his death like all the other demon lords played by Neo Hou, isn't he?

MDZS Headcanon #7

Saw a post about Wen Yuan's parents which reminded me of this headcanon.

Truly it is wild how Wen Yuan's parents tend to stay dead in AUs or the parents are so horrible that Wen Yuan needs to be rescued? Wen Yuan obviously wanted his father very much when he was crying in canon. Poor kid.

So I do like to make Wen Yuan into Wen Xu's son. I think it adds delicious flavor that Gusu Lan unknowingly harbors the son of the man that burned down half their home and their most valued library.

Since he does look so much like his father when he is older, I like to think the Gusu Lan who were victimized by Wen Xu may instinctively shy away from Lan Sizhui.

But also as a novel main, there really isn't much characterization for Wen Xu so I make him very much like I imagine Wen Ruohan; chilling, decisive, not shy about using cruelty as a means to an end, but deviates from his father in that he doesn't really enjoy it so much as perceives benefits from it.

I like to think that Wen Xu is one of the reasons that Wen Qing's family took in Wen Yuan when the tide of the campaign began to turn. That Wen Xu, like his father, understood the benefits of favoring a medical genius like his cousin.

As to dad!Xu, I headcanon that he's not an outwardly warm person but genuinely cared for his son and because the Qishan Wen in the novel wear white, this is of course why baby Wen Yuan was drawn to Lan Wangji when he was lost.

Imagining Wen Xu going over reports from the Supervisory Offices while Wen Yuan naps on Baba's lap... Wen Yuan grabbing onto Wen Xu's leg for his attention... Wen Xu, so cold he burns in all his other interactions, but Wen Yuan gets head pats from him and assurances when Wen Yuan does well...

You want to hurt that character because you hate them. I want to hurt that character because I love them. We are not the same.
