This novel is 90% a Shen Wei thirst fest isn’t it.
Meanwhile I know little bits of Zhao Yunlan’s beauty other than the basics like hair and eye color, his habits, he’s bi, he has abs and good taste in cologne and men.
THE SECOND SADBOY TOURNAMENT IS NOW LIVE IN ROUND ONE
Alright, alright, I want a good clean fight just like the last times! Be nice to me, as I didn't write any of the propaganda and, more importantly, be nice to each other! Now FIGHT!
Noe and Vanitas: have discussion about what love is while dancing together, Noe is litterally writing a book to remember Vanitas, Noé get jealous when Jeanne bit Vanitas because he explicitly wanted to bite him first. He is irresistibly attracted to Vanitas' blood which is canonically something of a sexual pleasure to the point where we have a flashback of young Noé getting the Talk about biting.there are so many romantic implications in the manga and even in the anime (even if it's tone down a lot).
Youtube comments: there is no romantic implications there. They are like siblings.
Noe and Jeanne: look at each other.
Youtube comments: He definitely has a crush on her.
It's here! Allow me to introduce you to Shen and Catherine. They are Alice's grandparents from the mother's side. I talked about them separately in this and this post, but to sum up: she was a princess who eventually became the queen and he was a traveler who decides to stay because he liked her.
Here's what happened that day:
Catherine wanted everything to be perfect so she had to be very involved with all from the location, to decoration, to her dress and also Shen's costume.
About Shen's costume. He was extremely uncomfortable in it. He was used to wearing clothes where he could move freely and this tight-ass pin-pointed costume wasn't for him and he only wore something like that at his grandkids' school gathering. (it's actually a very interesting story)
At the wedding, there were guests from all around the world including lords like the vampire lord (Vlad), the dragons' lord (Olrinlor), and even the all-mighty kitsune lord himself (Ryuu). Unfortunately, Shen's brother (Wei) didn't come, but his best (Tao) friend was.
Because at that time, they didn't have cameras, they had to pose for the painting (that happened way before the wedding). Ironically, nobody knows where that painting is now.
The ceremony+party took some time (2 and a half days to be exact) because Catherine likes to party and had to form new connections and brag and dance, etc.
Unfortunately no, and I mean NO celestial being went to the wedding because they felt like something bad was about to happen but it didn't... at least not at the wedding.
But after all, everyone had a great time, Shen also got to meet new people and feel happy in general. He got to marry the woman he loved (which was very rare at the time since all the weddings were planned by parents who wanted to form alliances with more or equally powerful people).
And yes, the wedding was expensive as heck. They had a very big cake with cherries dressed in gold. There were some famous musicians, a big orchestrate with acrobats and dancers. Others include: 110 white unicorns and 88 peacocks, wedding bands made by the purest light (this means that most of the time, the rings were invisible bc...you know, but when they wanted, the rings would be this glowing energy around their fingers), 12 faires, all with different blessings, 1 million flower petals and last, but not least, a future reading (there were extremely rare at that time)
The groom and bride dance was actually nice. Both had to take some serious dance lessons before, especially Shen. It was your standard waltz since it was very easy to learn.
Yes, they did "consume their marriage" afterwords.
