Dating Gong Jun’s Time Train photos → November 7
Obviously from the filming of Fox Spirit Matchmaker, but the exact date is difficult to discern. Based off the details that are visible, the known possibilities are either 08-02 (the day his costume got on Weibo hot search) or the same day as the other photos he posted on this day (exact date unknown).

Chulian on Lake
For today's fig post we have this amazing set - that lights up!
This complex and beautiful set features Zhang Zhehan's lotus spirit Qing Lian (aka Xiao-Zhe) from his advertisement for Jade Dynasty: New Fantasy, together with Gong Jun's Dong Fang Yuechu from the upcoming drama Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Yue Hong.
First, just a few pictures of our ethereal lotus fairy:
And a few pictures of our stunning Daoist priest:
That last one in particular is the inspiration for this fig here.
This set arrived in an enormous, fairly heavy box. I had to ship this air mail because of the electronics involved in it.
I was a little worried about how big and delicate this set was, but it arrived in perfect shape. Full credit to the fig maker and the factory for cushioning it so well.
Here's all the pieces. I still think it's incredible all the fragile flowers and stems make it through.
You can see here the little tiny holes (up at the top by the edges) where you can insert the lotus leaves and flowers. They went in quite easily and were very stable.
Here's a close up of the electronics. The set came with both batteries and a USB cord. The button there turns on the lake light.
Here's the lake by itself, before the figs go in. As you can see, Yuechu stands in the boat via peg legs. Very seaworthy of him! Qing Lian just lays down however you like inside the lotus.
Before we put the figs into their respective conveyances, here's a closeup of them. Qing Lian is all curled up and sleepy eyed, and Yuechu is casting a magical fireball of some sorts.
I could only really get two angles of the figs before they went into the lake, since neither of them stand by themselves.
This was a very difficult set to get good pictures of. One, because I lack any real photography skills, and my phone kept hyperfocusing on certain parts and blurring out the rest. But, as we go around the fig, you do end up seeing the whole thing. So please bear with me!
Beautiful, isn't it? I love how detailed these figures are - their hair is amazing.
Here's a top-down view. Yuechu fits in the boat beautifully - the pegs went right in, and he's pretty secure in there. No glue needed. Xiao Zhe is resting peacefully and easily in his lotus.
We'll do a couple closeups here. He's quite tiny all curled up like that!
Huh. Is Yuechu conjuring up Qing Lian? It looks like we have a lotus in the middle of that magic. I'm not sure!
Our lotus lake at midnight! It does in fact light up like a dream. I just went ahead and plugged the USB cord in the wall, so it's a little less beautiful than it would be cordless with the batteries. Still, it's very lovely.
The fig maker included a double-sided postcard, a matching keychain with the art, the batteries, and the USB cord (that I had already plugged in).
I really appreciate how she included both. This is her first set, and I hope she makes more!

Tagged by @lasenbyphoenix Thank you!
Currently Watching:
Love O2O, which is so stinkin’ adorable. Yang Yang is such a cutie in it, and I adore the main group of supporting characters. Curly Ginger Bai Yu is a thing I’m still trying to get used to, but he’s so adorkable he makes it work. My face hurts after every episode because I can’t stop smiling about it.
Also watching Memory Lost with the Guardian Discord watch group. Heavy subject matter (like every single case deals with sexual assault/rape) but a very good show overall.
Currently Rewatching:
Nothing right now. But I’ve been meaning to subject myself to Advance Bravely again now that it’s on Viki. Even though it’s the heavily censored version.
Looking Forward To:
Oh a lot of things. Immortality, Legend of Anle, Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Yue Hong, Tibetan Sea Flower, Story of the Bat, and whatever they’re calling the thing ft. Liu Sang/Kan Jian/Wang Meng that just finished filming to name a few.
I tag: EVERYONE.

Prince Qi and Su Ci, what are you doing here? This is not Maiden Holmes 😆 Jk
Zhang Ling He and Sebrina Chen are in Fox Spirit Matchmaker as guest roles and I hope they'll have interactions in the drama or at least in the bts 🙏🏻
