Hello !
I was wondering whether you could rate and tell us of your top 5 favourite webnovels/cnovels of all time ?! (Sorry if this has already been answered lol😅)
Thank you, stay safe and have a nice day🖤
Awww, thank you and that is such a lovely ask!!!
From n1 to n5, here they are (they happen to be all danmei.)
1. The Husky and His White Cat Shizun (2ha) - my n1 forever and ever.
Taxian Jun, the horrific cultivation emperor of the world who razed cities and destroyed sects, is surrounded on his mountain. The righteous sects are terrified to confront him but tired of living, Taxian Jun consumes poison and dies by suicide at the age of 32. And opens his eyes as 16 year old Mo Ran, Mo Ran long before he became Taxian Jun, Mo Ran who is excited at a chance to save the one person he loved and lost. Oh, and to deal with his loathed shizun, the unapproachable and strict Chu Wanning, his past life’s biggest enemy.
I have no idea if it’s objectively the best on this list but it hits every trope I love, its bleak worldview (the world will change only incrementally but that’s enough, average person will not appreciate the sacrifice but it’s still worthwhile, and love is worth everything) mirrors mine, and the sheer complexity of the plot and cascade of plot twists each of which is insane and yet completely logical, is amazing (this is a rare novel where it’s even more fun to reread than read for the first time because you keep seeing all the hints and trail crumbs laid out that you did not see the first time.)
And the characters!!! I mean, this novel has multiple universes/timelines, a side trip to the Underworld AND the demon realm, a plot more twisted than a store’s worth of pretzels and yet the thing that hits me the most are the characters. Mo Ran is my favorite web novel character of all time and I love Chu Wanning so. All the secondary characters are wonderfully written (and some of them made me bawl) and they are all complex. My opinion of all of them changed many times over; the novel doesn’t make it easy to love some of them but then you do and it’s so worthwhile! That slow change is one of the delights of the novel - I started out disliking the unpleasant, superior Chu Wanning and cruel, callow Mo Ran and then I loved them so so hard and cried for them so so hard and was in awe of their heroism and sacrifice and selflessness and capacity to love.
Oh, and the fact that this novel does something almost impossible - it has its protagonist start out as so clearly irredeemable and then slowly and painfully and thoroughly redeems him (without ever letting the reader forget what it is he needs redemption for.)
Also, for a novel that made me cry so hard I felt ill, this book is just so damn funny with the most sarcastic sense of humor imaginable (the serious angst doesn’t even kick in until 90+ chapters!)
Anyway I should stop or I will write a dissertation. But this is the one web novel that I would put in my top 5 not just web novels but any novels in any shape or form. The plentiful trigger warnings are there for a reason so stay away if they are an issue, but if not, if anyone hasn’t read it yet, what are you doing with your life?!
2. Stains of Filth (Yuwu) - another novel by the author of 2ha. Clearly she just pushes all my buttons every time. This one is much shorter and has a plot that is twisty but less twisty than 2ha. Still, all that means is that intensity and the pain are more concentrated.
Aristocratic Mo Xi and former slave Gu Mang were both legendary generals of the empire and lovers. But Gu Mang betrayed the country and switched to the enemy. Now he is back as a peace offering by that country and Mo Xi has to deal with the fact that his feelings are as strong as ever.
This novel!!! So much pain and intensity!!! So many amazing plot twists and supporting characters. The same bleak world view, the same unjust society, the same protagonists doing right things despite the cost. Mo Xi’s intensity and inability to let go (he’s imprinted on Gu Mang and that’s it) is romantic, bone-shakingly intense, and tragic all at once. And oh Gu Mang! So many times I just wanted to reach into the book physically to protect him. The novel deals with unjust societies, memory versus personality, what it’s like to be good in a bad universe etc. And it both made me sob and giggle, repeatedly, and sold me on literally death-defying (but not honor-defying!) love.
Oh, and special shout out to the fact that like 2ha, you may start out hating some characters and end up a rabid fangirl (cough Murong Lian!)
3. Qiang Jin Jiu - a dense political tome that takes a while to get going but then it’s a runaway train.
In a fictional dynasty, Shen Zechuan, the only remaining son of a disgraced aristocratic family and Xiao Chiye, the younger son of a family of generals guarding the border join forces (and then something else) to get power and pull down the dysfunctional system.
This is so elegant and smart (a rare web novel I’d recommend to anyone who just loves solid period fiction) and you probably need a notebook to keep track of the politics and military strategy. These characters are very very smart not just because the author says so.
As to the characters, there is a large cast and I love many of them, but for me the novel is made by Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye. SZC is gorgeous and delicate and icy and can kill you before you have time to blink. Saddled with the sins of the family he had no pleasant interaction with, he claws his way out of hell (seeing the sinkhole he was trapped in, literally as well) to take down those who wronged him but also to amass power so all the tragedy and corruption won’t happen again and the whole rotten system comes crashing down. XCY is a military genius who is trapped as a hostage in the capital because the court doesn’t trust his family. He longs to return to the plains of home and to take his rightful place. The two men start out as bitter enemies, then reluctant and sniping allies, then as friends and eventually as one of the most gorgeous, tender, swoony OTPs.
Anyway this is one is a bona fide masterpiece, equal parts smart and emotionally intense.
4. Wu Chang Jie - are you an emotional vampire? I am and this novel is a banquet.
In a highly fantastical setting, we meet our protagonists - the sunny Xie Bian and the intense and surly Fan Wushe. Xie Bian is a human who assists his master in conveying souls to the underworld and making sure no mishaps happen. Bian is concentrated sunshine in human form and to meet him is to love him. When the novel opens, his drunk master brings back another human to be his shidi and assist with duties - said human is uncommunicative, intense and surly Wushe. Bian is excited to have a shidi but little does he know that a story dealing with the horrors of past lifetime is about to start.
Anyway, why WCJ? So many reasons. It has such a dark bleak worldview - this world is a horrifying system where powerful cannibalize each other’s cores for an impossible chance to ascend, where gods have sealed off their realm and all that’s left is neverending human misery and hell (the only way you’d see a deity is if they’d been sent down to suffer over and over and over), where even reincarnation doesn’t fix things and bad acts are often unpunished. And the novel then asks - is it worth being a good person in such a world? More, is it worth being a good person in such a world when nothing good has ever happened to you and you have been repeatedly betrayed due to your goodness? And the answer, on Bian’s part, is an uncompromising yes.
Ah yes, the other reason to love this novel - the protagonists and their fucked up fucked up relationship. Bian (who was Prince Ziheng in the past life) is so genuinely good. But he is that rare thing - good but not saintly, noble but not cloying. So much of the novel is his getting taken apart over and over and barely able to put himself back together every time but his soul is still as amazing as ever.
And then there is Wushe (who was Prince Zixiao in past life, Ziheng’s not-bio-related brother.) Wushe is not a good person. He is a monster. And he loves Bian/Ziheng more than his life and his soul and the entire world but he’s also the one who hurt him more than anyone else ever could and did it over and over. His love survived a literal century of torture in the worst kind of hell and refused the usual memory loss of new life. But it also humiliated and broke Ziheng down to his constituent parts.
One of the things that is so fascinating to me about this novel is the question of what can be forgiven/what should be forgiven/what kind of expiation is enough/can you ever love someone who you loved so much and then he hurt you so badly and is now repentant? And it never sweeps trauma under the rug or hand waves it away but deals with it head on.
If you want healthy relationships, you should stay far away from this novel but if intense insane ones with a feral barely human one capable of destroying the world leashed by love and guilt to the sane deeply good one is your bag, come right in.
There is also the world building and the fact that yes, the big fall out between Ziheng x Zixiao is based on not knowing all the facts but it’s not “why can’t you talk?! This is dumb!” But is totally in keeping with both events and their characters. It’s reasonable for Ziheng to do what he does and for Zixiao to misunderstand and decide Ziheng is now his biggest enemy (but still one he’s fixated on) and for Ziheng to never be able to clarify.
Anyway, once again this is trigger warning central so please heed those, but if they are no issue, this one is wonderful.
5. OK, this is hard and switches between Sha Po Lang, Heaven Official’s Blessing and The Golden Stage depending on my mood. So what the hell, I am gonna write about all of them.
Sha Po Lang - so smart and so much clever world building. There is enough politicking to satisfy a Qiang Jin Jiu fan, it’s steampunk, and our two protagonists - Gu Yun, the empire’s most powerful general, who’s loyal to the empire despite being badly wronged by it, and Chang Geng, a cursed prince with barbarian blood and horrifying childhood - are wonderful separately and together. This is a huge slow burn but it’s totally worth it! They fall in love with each other’s hearts and brains and ability as much as anything. (Yes, this is the one with the yifu thing. Gu Yun is made Chang Geng’s foster father when he rescues him and brings him back to the capital as a way to keep CG safe in imperial strife. They are 12 and 19 at the time so clearly it’s never a parental relationship.)
Heaven Official’s Blessing (TCGF) - I love it’s sprawling narrative and cast, I love its inventive setting and picaresque story. It’s hilarious and can make me cry. But the novel’s place on this list is due to Xie Lian who is part Kenshin part drama WWX part pure goodness wrapped in heartbreak and trauma wrapped in sunshine.
The Golden Stage - two smart and principled (yes, they both have principles different though they may be) men navigate their arranged marriage, their past friendship and their past break up, become a super couple (one of the healthiest danmei couples I’ve ever read and proves healthy doesn’t have to be boring), save the country and bring down the emperor or two and just generally this is my rainy day book.
I guess I didn’t write as much for the three n5 candidates as I did for 1-4 but my brain is beginning to curdle so...

Book 2, Chapter 19 (Part 2)
Duan Ling and Fei Hongde agree upon taking turns for the night watch, with Fei Hongde on the first watch, and Duan Ling returns to his room. He feels as though these seven days have truly been the longest seven days of his life.
Wu Du is lying on the bed, reading the secret manual Lang Junxia returned to them. Duan Ling lies down next to him, and before long he’s asleep. His dreams are filled with close quarters combat, with soldiers fighting through the streets. A year ago today, he was in the city of Shangjing safeguarding what last hope they had; cavalry dressed in iron and weaponry held high through a sea of flames are drawn in scenes that seem to be slowly replaying by his ear.
At the fifth of the night watch, Duan Ling wakes up. The city lies silent in the still of the night, with a river of stars shining above.
“Wu Du?” By the time Duan Ling turns over, there’s no longer anyone next to him.
Duan Ling gets off the bed and walks outside on silent feet.
Wu Du is in the courtyard practising the Palm of the Realm from the manual. Fist forward, turn to palm, right palm press, left palm follows, each move flowing with poise and perfect composure, foot up, step forward.
Duan Ling can’t help but remember Li Jianhong’s silhouette while teaching him; beneath the stars Li Jianhong is a phantom-like silhouette cloaked in stardust, moving like a shadow behind Wu Du, moving through identical motions.
In that moment, Wu Du’s figure seems to take on most of Li Jianhong’s presence, seemingly exhibiting the dignity of an emperor surveying his land.
“The Sword of the Realm can be transformed to use as a hand-to-hand style through fist, palm, and feet.” Wu Du turns around, palms pushing down. Then his left hand makes a gesture of separation while his right hand lifts, he puts one leg to cross over the other, and he pushes both palms forward. He says in a solemn tone, “It uses motion to train the self for stillness, with the flow of qi in the body moving in the opposite direction as the fist and palm.”
Duan Ling watches him for a while, then he walks up to go through the entire set once with him. Previously, he had hastily learned the movements without trying to get a deeper understanding, but this time, with Wu Du, he has managed to understand a bit more. After they get through the full set, they’re both covered in sweat, but Duan Ling feels very refreshed.
The sky is starting to brighten, but dark clouds have come to cloak the sky. It is an exceedingly stuffy and hot morning, the air sticky with humidity, and Tongguan is always foggy and moist, so everyone inside is covered in a sheen of sweat. Duan Ling puts on fresh clothes and says to Wu Du, “I’m going to send Yao Jing off to her groom. Come on, come with me.”
Wu Du nods. They both get into formal clothes and head to one of the wings in the Bian estate. Yao Jing is keeping watch over Bian Lingbai’s sickbed, in a conversation with Fei Hongde. Duan LIng gives Fei Hongde a nod and says to Bian Lingbai, “Uncle, I’m sending Jing’er off to be married.”
Bian Lingbai lies there motionless like a corpse, so Duan Ling turns away from him and brings Yao Jing out of the room. The steward has already had her dowry organised, and they wait in the main hall as one must, in accordance with the rites. Shang Leguan comes in first to seek permission; since Bian Lingbai has no children and he’s bedridden besides, his only “nephew” is left to preside over the ceremony. Duan Ling first must decline, but then he’s saying, “Shang Leguan, you’re not following the correct etiquette. What groom comes to ask permission in person?”
Everyone finds this funny. Yao Jing sticks her head out from behind the screen to sneak a glance, and she can’t help but smile either.
Shang Leguan is tall and handsome, and though he’s just been made fun of he doesn’t seem to mind. He smiles softly and withdraws from the room.
Soon enough, Shang Leguan enters the room to state his request again; Duan Ling once more refuses.
“After the third ask,” Wu Du says to Yao Jing, “you’ll be leaving for Xiliang to be wed.”
Outside of Duan Ling, Wu Du seldom speaks with anyone. In the eyes of outsiders, this assassin who seems to exude danger from every pore of his body is mysterious beyond comprehension, but from Yao Jing’s perspective, Wu Du has saved her life once. As she’s Yao Zheng’s cousin as well, it gives them yet another layer of familiarity.
“Thank you, General Wu, for saving my life,” Yao Jing says quietly from behind the screen.
Wu Du adds, “Be sure to take good care of yourself once away from home. Xiliang isn’t like Great Chen. It’ll take time, but you’ll get used to it.”
“Yes,” Yao Jing whispers.
Listening to what Wu Du is saying to her, Duan Ling feels a nameless sort of sadness. He remembers not having a thing to his name when he arrived in Xichuan and how equally lost he was.
But he believes that Helian Bo will take good care of her.
For the third ask, Helian Bo comes personally. He doesn’t say anything at all; wordlessly he performs a special set of rites facing Duan Ling, and Duan Ling replies with the same.
It’s the third ask where the fiance himself comes personally to greet his bride. All at once, everyone in the room seems rather surprised, but Duan Ling has known about this for a while.
“Make sure you take good care of my younger sister,” Duan Ling says in Tangut, then he repeats it to everyone else in Han.
“You have my word,” Helian Bo replies.
Thus Duan Ling takes Yao Jing’s hand and guides her out from behind the screen, and places her hand in Helian Bo’s. Yao Jing had thought she was going to marry Shang Leguan, so on finding out that her fiance is actually “He Mo”, she looks entirely shocked.
The middle-aged steward speaks up, “Mister Bian, hasn’t there … hasn’t there been some mistake?”
“There’s no mistake,” Duan Ling explains to them. “This is the prince of Xiliang, His Highness Helian Bo.”
Yao Jing finally regains her composure, realising that the position waiting for her is actually going to be Princess-consort!
Wu Du’s face has also taken on an extremely strange expression as he studies Duan Ling. Duan Ling nods at him and says, “There’s no problem.”
With this confirmation, Wu Du says, “Let’s go.”
Helian Bo helps Yao Jing into her carriage, and her dowry is carried onto it one box after another. Everyone else gets on horseback and they canter along with the Xiliang wedding party, all the way to the gates of Tongguan. When he says goodbye to Helian Bo, Duan Ling feels a bit ashamed; he recalls how Wu Du had told him he was “heartless”, and suddenly he does think he seems rather heartless.
“Take care, Helian,” Duan Ling whispers next to his ear, “I’ll come visit you.”
Helian Bo gives Duan Ling’s arm a pat, “Letter … will come soon.”
Duan Ling nods. Helian Bo is trying to say something else, but Duan Ling is signing with one hand like a brush going across a page, letting him know that if there’s anything important, Helian Bo should write to him.
“Go on.” Even now, there’s still a great weight on Duan Ling’s heart — after all, Helian Bo isn’t out of danger yet. He’ll only be safe after he returns to Xiliang.
Brokenhearted at the thought of their separation, Helian Bo stares at Duan Ling from afar. Duan Ling waves at him; he can see Helian Bo stopping his horse in the middle of the plains as if there’s something else he’d like to say, so all Duan Ling can do is turn his back on Helian Bo, and pretend that he’s leaving.
Wu Du finds this quite funny all of a sudden, and ridicules him. “A Tangut barbarian, and a stammerer who’s hardly known you for long at all at that … But he does seem to have a lot of feelings when it comes to you.”
Sometimes when Wu Du speaks he seems rather too willing to catch people in the raw, leaving no room for argument. It makes Duan Ling really want to punch him.
“Is he gone yet?”
“Not yet,” Wu Du replies absentmindedly.
Duan Ling waits a little while longer, and Wu Du tells him, “He’s gone.”
Duan Ling only turns around then, staring off distantly in Helian Bo’s direction. The wedding party has already turned into a tiny little black dot.
Mountain peaks gather, turbulent waves billow; Tongguan road winds through mountains and rivers inside and out.
Like waves the dark clouds tumble as they roll in, with lightning flickering between the cloud layers.
“I forgot to pack them umbrellas,” Duan Ling says.
Wu Du starts to laugh, and Fei Hongde’s voice suddenly rings out from beneath the gate tower.
“Young master!” Fei Hongde is climbing the tower, and Duan Ling hurries down to help him up the stone steps. Fei Hongde is huffing and puffing, and as soon as they see each other Duan Ling knows that it’s most likely bad news.
“The scout’s come back with a report,” Fei Hongde says briskly. “According to their surveillance, all of the mounted bandits in Qinling have withdrawn.”
“What scout?” Duan Ling doesn’t remember giving these orders. He sounds surprised.
“I sent them to keep an eye on things,” Wu Du explains. “Which way did they go?”
“The mounted bandits are gathering in the easternmost section of the Qlnling.” Fei Hongde says solemnly, “I’m afraid they already got word that General Bian is immobile, and they’re planning to come attack Tongguan!”
This news is no surprise. All of Duan Ling’s previous plans were made to prevent the other side from starting a fight abruptly. Yet what’s meant to happen will happen anyway. Fortunately, the governor sent by the imperial court is already on his way — even though Tongguan isn’t safe, it has a fighting chance.
Duan Ling meets Wu Du’s eyes. Wu Du says, “How long do you think we can hold out for?”
“Killing was your mission. Don’t worry, what comes after that is my responsibility. However, you’ll have to follow my orders.”
Wu Du looks like he just heard the funniest thing he’s ever heard. “What can you do about it?”
Duan Ling looks into Wu Du’s eyes. “Do you trust me?”
Wu Du frowns. He studies Duan Ling again, feeling as though it’s the first time he’s ever seen him.
“I’ll go make the arrangements now,” Duan Ling says. “As long as all goes as planned, we can definitely last until the governor gets here. But he won’t be taking all that many people with him, so even if he arrives we’ll still have to rely on ourselves.”
It’s the most rigorous challenge Duan Ling has ever faced. He will finally have to go on the battlefield. No matter when the new governor arrives, this is a battle he must fight.
“Tell me.” Wu Du says, “Tell me what you’re going to do. I can follow your orders.”
“My Lord—” Another soldier is coming up the gate tower. He says to Duan Ling, “General Wang and General Xie have returned. They would like to meet with you at the estate.”
Duan Ling gives Fei Hongde a nod, and the three of them return to the general’s estate.
Two giant cases of gold bars are sitting in the main hall.
“It’s all gold.”
As soon as Duan Ling enters the hall, Vice General Wang reports, “There was a full fifty-thousand taels of gold there!”
With a single glance, Duan Ling could tell that the two of them had already taken a pretty big cut — several thousand taels, at least. He doesn’t expose them though. He says to Fei Hongde, “Please pass along a message to summon every soldier ranked Major and above.”
While he’s waiting, Duan Ling unrolls a map on the table. He sends Wu Du a glance, then he asks the two Vice Generals to come closer.
“How many men do we have left?” Duan Ling asks.
“Minus the ones on patrol outside of Tongguan,” Vice General Wang has just taken some gold so he’s obviously in a good mood. He says to Duan Ling, “we have a force of twenty-seven thousand men in total.”
“Twenty-seven thousand …”
“What’s this?” The Vice General with the surname Xie asks him.
“These are the places where the Tangut mounted bandits are lying in ambush, and their force is twenty-thousand men.” Duan Ling points at the Great Wall and moves his finger to the east, landing in Tongguan. “Both these markings outside and inside the Great Wall mark their troops.”
As he finishes speaking, Duan Ling observes the look on their faces, thinking to himself that there’s no way these two don’t know that there are mounted bandits moving about within Tongguan’s jurisdiction. It must have been one of the transactions between Helian Da and Bian Lingai; Helian Da is selling his horses to Bian Lingbai, so Bian Lingbai has been looking the other way about the bandits Helian Da has sent over. Otherwise there’s no way he’d have dropped that investigation against those who robbed Yao Jing’s caravan.
As he expected, both Vice Generals looked a bit uneasy, turning to glance at each other. Duan Ling doesn’t expose them this time either. “News of my uncle’s bedridden state and immobility has probably already reached the other side. I worry that the Tangut are going to work with the men they’re keeping inside the city walls, and attack Tongguan.”
Even if Bian Lingbai hasn’t told his subordinates what he’s been up to, there are traces to be found, ultimately; these two would be able to at least take a vague guess at what he’s done. If Bian Lingbai is severely ill and this illness is incurable, Helian Da won’t be able to get back the money he’s owed. While there’s no commander at Tongguan, the enemy will most likely fight their way in here.
“Master Fei Hongde has already dispatched a messenger to Xichuan with an order not to stop along the way, in order to inform the imperial court of our situation. I have invited the two of you here to ask your opinion — are we going to give up on Tongguan’s defences and run off with the money? Or will we hold the city until the court sends a governor to come reinforce us?”
“You jest, young master.” Vice General Xie’s name is Xie Hao, from Yingchuan.2 He used to lead the garrisoned troops beneath Mount Jiangjun in its defence of the border, and once fought at Li Jianhong’s side. Even if Duan Ling isn’t trying to goad them into action, there’s no way he’d desert.
“If Tongguan ever comes under Tangut control,” Xie Hao says, “the central plain will lose its defensive barrier. Let’s not even speak of whether we should run for now — even if we do run, where could we ever run to?”
Duan Ling turns to Vice General Wang, but he’s not as firm as Xie Hao. He smiles as he says to Duan Ling, “There’s no need to try to goad us, young master. Our loyalty is with you, as it is with the General. Just let us know what you need.”
That’s all Duan Ling needed to hear. “Naturally, the bandits are rallying because they’re going to mount an attack on Tongguan, but a regular army is surely heading here from outside Tongguan as well. We must split our forces into two — one force will have to eliminate the bandits from Qinling as soon as possible, and attack them by surprise.”
Duan Ling draws the bandits’ route on the map and says to them, “Whichever one of you is willing to stop the bandits from advancing on Tongguan, take Wu Du with you.”
Wu Du stands apart quietly, watching all this without a word.
“I’ll go,” Vice General Wang replies.
Duan Ling produces Bian Lingbai’s tally and hands it to Vice General Wang. “You must end the battle as quickly as you can. Total annihilation is not our goal, what we want instead is for them to lose their bearings — use an ambush to defeat them.”
Vice General Wang takes the command tally. Duan Ling turns to Xie Hao. “From today onwards, we must strengthen Tongguan’s defences. Hide troops inside and outside the gates. As for the rest, listen to Master Fei’s instructions.”
Xie Hao nods, “Yes sir.”
Those people Fei Hongde summoned earlier have also arrived.

Reading through your liveblogging of the QQ animation is a blast, and I soon got curious: can you list some moments that made you go "SIR! If you could //please//-" at Yan Wushi?
this question is profoundly unfair anon because it’s less “when did I go SIR IF YOU COULD PLEASE--” and more like when did I not because Yan Wushi is just like that, and horrifyingly, there is no off switch
but here is a bullet point list for you anon, just for your enjoyment:
SIR IF YOU COULD PLEASE
use your words
every time in the second half of the book when he’s attempting to genuinely flirt with Shen Qiao but Shen Qiao, very understandably, Does Not Get It
okay but special shout-out to the mountain temple scene where he paralyzes and hides Shen Qiao away “for Shen Qiao’s own good” and it’s not because he feels guilty or whatever, perish the thought, Yan Wushi feeling guilt? anyway he’s going to go face possible death but you should be safe here a-Qiao
just like. Yan Wushi you DRAMATIC DUMBASS
talk like a normal human being
specifically that time he deliberately misleads Bian Yanmei in construing his relationship to Shen Qiao early on in the novel. like. sir that was not necessary thank god Bian Yanmei has the only brain cell in the entire cast
explain your motives
when he visits Bixia Sect with Shen Qiao and Qi-lang and everyone is on tenterhooks around him is actually hilarious because he’s being well-behaved and courteous? and Shen Qiao is like “I’d almost rather you be your godawful rude self if only because this is severely disorienting”
pull your own weight
ahahaha the entirety of the Ruoqiang arc, no, having a personality-shattering head injury does not cut you any slack
that being said Xie Ling is pulling his physical weight, and A-Yan pulling the emotional weight, Yan Wushi just needs to get with the program
give Shen Qiao a break
just like, the entire book
#he is just LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME#oh no I realized that you might've been asking about the donghua rather than the book#oop

红颜旧 glosses and translation
I wanted a deeper understanding of Nihuang’s song, so I translated it myself. There were lots of existing translations, including in the Viki subs and on various blogs, but I wanted to know how the characters break down into words, what each word means, and how they fit together into a phrase.

12th Month, yiwei [19 January], a decree said:
For generations it has been custom to say Gao of Han rose up in cloth clothes and yet had Under Heaven, this is to not have insight into its reasons. As for the Liu inheriting Yao's government, and for extensive generation continued with virtue, there were the summons of snakes and dragons, the coming of the bright hue cloud's response, the Five Wefts above assembled, the Heavenly Persons united together and clarifying the master of the modified instructions, the great rotation being rung. They cannot be considered not to to anticipate and beseech.
As such, the followers of the crazy and crafty, by means of those who stumble at the top yet do not stop, were truly misled by the explanation of the chasing the deer, and bewildered by Heaven's instructions. For that reason they are following the tracks of turning over the chariot, stamping the path of hostility and confrontation. Those whose poison are considerable overflow the provinces and commanderies, those whose damage are small wither in the districts and villages. Arriving therefore at a person dying with his name crumbling, misfortune reaches the nine clans, accompanying chaos and following the flow. To die with no remorse, how is not anguishing!
The righteousness of the Spring and Autumn is the beauty of the great unified command. Wu and Chu usurped titles, and after a long time were inflicted on execution and sundering. The lordly master belittles their bogus fame, and compares it to dust and dirt. To not oneself maintain the sagely and carry virtue, when the Heavenly persons combine and assemble, the legacy of emperors and kings, is it not useless to respond. As successively seen past and present, those who are not righteous yet seek with no anticipation, the followers lose their way of protecting the family, and submit to execution by blade and saw.
There are states and there are families. To truly be able to have the appointed time for pushing forward discarding and rising up, to scrutinize the unchangeable of Heaven's instructions, to notice the hidden conferral of a summoned response, to stop the perverse words of the competing contenders, cutting off the presumptuous indulgence of the opposing and outstanding, to ponder the many blessings of stopping when sufficient, then it is near to divine wisdom. If it is like this, then it can be considered to protect the glorious blessings for the Heaven [appointed] years, the flowing the remaining felicity to later generations. And so as such, if the reasons for calamity are contrary to having no chance then to live, how are troops and armour the causes then for rising up? In all their coming generations, [if you] do everything indeed to caution them, can [they] be unheeding!
At the time the Grand Scribe frequently memorialised the Heavenly Patterns were disorderly and chaotic. The Emperor personally inspected the classics on divinations, and often talked of changing the kings and altering he government, for that reason he several times modified the officials' titles. Firstly he wished to guard against and restrain the fell and crafty, secondly he wished to dispel the calamity in response to the mischance. Soon he worried about the crowd of subordinates being suspicious and confused, in their hearts vilifying and in their bellies criticizing.
On bingshen [20 January], then decreed, saying:
In the government of high antiquity, they placed above virtue and put down fame, they had duties yet had no feudal ranks, it was easy to govern and affairs were in order. For that reason perverse plans were put to an end, and did not rise up, the offending depravities were put to an end and did not flourish.
At the end of the Ji [clan] of Zhou, the subordinates transgressed and the sovereign declined. They used titles to settle themselves, and used ranks to arrange the blessings. The ministers for generations [had] their offices, the grandees carried out affairs, yang's potency was impeded, they discussed sending out families to accompany. For that reason covenant carried out like this rose up, war carried out like this flourished.
The ruin of Qin and Han was to let go of virtue and esteem extravagance. The able and not mixed and blended, the worthy and stupid were disturbing each other. The numerous officials were out of sequence and trusted not their people. Hence the way of the loyal and righteous being put to rest, the steadfastness of upright and shameful being discarded, the wind of withdrawing and yielding being cut of, the righteousness of blame and praise flourishing could not but to follow from the noble putting above fame and rank, yet calamity and defeat caught up with them.
In the past set up the Three Excellencies, the duties were great and the worries were heavy, for that reason it was said “there waited punishment for stewards and chancellors”. They wanted appointments and assignments to do their duties successfully, not empty favour and blessing. Yet the customs of the present generation in all instances consider assisting in government glorious and prestigious, they tiptoe with yearning and request it.
As for these postings as Ministers, they are assigned by the ruler of men, that is all. If he employs them, they are weighty, if he let them go, they are light-weight. As such, if officials are without regular fame, and rely on it being settled and divided. Thus if those who are worthy arrive, [they] can take away the empty designations of the honoured ministers [?].
As for Jie [of Xia] and Zhou [of Yin], they were facing south, but though exalted, they can be scorned. Ji Dan [the Duke of Zhou] was a subordinates, but though humble, he can be venerated. One official can be considered a model for wisdom, a wicker gate can be considered hanging down the law.
Regardless, considering the Way and the Virtue as fact, the worthy at overturning the cauldron, veils the house. Formerly, those who measured themselves, when brought to an end, then were righteously maintained. Those who braved to profit [?], when they were lost in person, then their fame was wiped out. The gains in fame from profit are the are the blemished disputes of praise and blame. The gains in virtue from the Way are the family treasure of godly understanding.
Thus for these reasons the Way and righteousness are the foundation of government. Fame and ranks are the end of government. Fame does not originate with the Way, and cannot be considered suitable. Ranks have no improvement for the times, and cannot be be considered usable. To make use of and not forbid is to be deeply ill. One who is able to control his mischances and not lose his propriety, is he alone a sage?
If those who come truly think of the reasons for success or failure, examine the causes of order and chaos, reflect on mistakes of Yin and Zhou, and strip off the evils of Qin and Han, then they are near to the government.
This Year, Qifu Qiangui was routed by Yao Xing. Li Gao privately appointed [himself] Shepherd of Linag province and Duke of Liang.

As our team enjoyed this astonishing perspective one of the locals, besides healthy-style-portal.info our overviews, supplied to have group images for our company.

That made use of to be even more unwelcoming and also singular," recalled Felix Medina, a 59-year-old resource which has actually been taking folks up the mountain range for over a decade.

Top 5 sân golf đẳng cấp của Việt Nam- điểm đến lí tưởng cho giới thượng lưu
Cungreview.com- Golf là môn thể thao “nhà giàu” và quen thuộc với những doanh nhân thành đạt. Hiện nay tại Việt Nam, golf cũng đã trở nên phổ biến hơn và dường như chỉ dành cho giới nhà giàu. Bởi lẽ chi phí để xây dựng được 1 sân golf đạt tiêu chuẩn quốc tế là khá lớn.

Trong bản đồ thành phố Đà Lạt đầu tiên do kiến trúc sư E. Hébrard vẽ vào năm 1923, vị trí cho sân golf đã được đánh dấu, cùng với một đấu trường thể thao phía đối diện hồ nước nhân tạo – hồ Xuân Hương.
Tới đầu năm 1930, khi Vua Bảo Đại từ Pháp trở về, việc xây dựng sân golf cuối cùng đã được quyết định. Ông đã khám phá ra môn thể thao này tại thành phố Normandy và khu thượng lưu Senlis-Chantilly ngoại ô Paris.

Thời điểm đó sân golf có 6 lỗ và một nhà Câu Lạc Bộ nhỏ, vẫn tồn tại đến ngày nay. Nhưng sân golf bị bỏ hoang vào năm 1945 sau khi Vua Bảo Đại đi Hồng Kông.

Bạn đến đây vào một chiều muộn và khi nhiệt độ giảm xuống, bạn ngồi bên đống lửa và sưởi ấm giống như các bậc tiền bối thường làm trước đây ở Scotland.
