Did you read it before you watched the drama?

anguineapple.bsky.social•67 days ago

As per usual, yes. Though I've heard the two are fairly similar for once, aside from adding a Mu Nihuang-Mei Changsu romance.

Did the novel add more romance? I’ve only read the beginning. I think you’ll really love the drama if you pick it up.

anguineapple.bsky.social•67 days ago

The opposite, I think? Xiao Jingrui and Gong Yu have the world's most blatant crushes on Mei Changsu, and Xiao Jingyan/Mei Changsu have Vibes, but Mu Nihuang is firmly established as a platonic sisterly connection who's moved on and loves someone else.

None of it actually goes anywhere, of course, because Mei Changsu spends the entire narrative pushing people away and being blatantly Doomed.

Ohhh okay that makes sense. I actually adore the Nihuang longing (mutual) in the drama it adds to the whole mess to me. Poor sweet Jingrui.

(Fic suggestions welcome, though Tux has swept in and already supplied a substantial reading list.)

Lots in my bookmarks but probably few fix its

Once I'm done moping around I'll probably start trying other things, so if you have a favourite please feel free to share it! Especially anything with Mei Changsu whump or Xiao Jingrui, who was my favouritest favourite.

It’s such a beautiful tragedy, isn’t it. I love it even as it rips out my heart.

Okay, I was going to yell a lot but I will bravely save it for next Saturday.
