I never thought I'd see the day when the Blue Whisper/Yu Jiao Ji by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang would be published in my country but here we are! And with pretty bookmarks too!

Cover artist: Yasha Wang

Bookmark/inside illustrations artist: S.D-Z Art

#the blue whisper #Yu Jiao Ji #chinese books #Ji Yunhe #Chang Yi #you know what... it was a good idea to turn away from the western book publishing industry and turn our heads to the eastern front...#btw. this one is a part of the 'Chinese Hits. Fantasy' series. 'Heavy Sweetness Ash-like Frost' is also in there!#also. I discovered that it's most likely a two-parter. the second book is coming soon (May 2024).

everyone ever got the feeling like this?

for example, there's a scene in the book wherein the heroine was challenged by someone (for instance, a dance!) And I know for myself that if I'm in that situation, I would just probably humiliate myself and let the others find fault on me. So, when I read this kind of scene, I feel afraid, like

WHAT IF I suddenly transported into the novel and become the protagonist, then I would have to deal with that kind of situation where the protagonist could easily do?!? LIKE I HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT?!? MYSELF?! ON MY OWN? I WOULD JUST PROBABLY RUIN EVERYTHING.

THAT'S WHY I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE ISEKAI THING WHERE THE PEOPLE WHO GOT TRANSPORTED ALWAYS HAD A WAY OUT AND GET THE UPPER HAND RIGHT AWAY!! IS IT BECAUSE OF THE MAIN CHARACTER HALO?!?💀😭

(if you read chinese novels, you would probably know that there are many kinds of scenes where the other characters tries to humiliate the protagonist as always because they can't accept that the protagonist is better than them) so yeah.

i am afraid and paranoid.

If you've read a book so good that you think nothing will ever compare, I'm here to tell you that there will always be something better...

Unless you're talking about tgcf, in which case good luck...

I listen to a lot of audiobook murder mysteries, which has me thinking:

Shen Yuan transmigrating into a murder mystery… as the killer!

There are a couple of ways the story could go.

First Option: Shen Yuan lets his System know, in no uncertain terms, he will not be murdering anyone.

Its response: [Alternate Plotline Initiated. New Assignment: Designated Red Herring].

Poor Shen Qingqiu finds himself stuck in a whole murder mystery series, and any time anyone is murdered, he somehow ends up being the number one suspect!

The victim? Probably picked a fight with Shen Qingqiu at some point. (Shen Qingqiu tries to avoid such arguments, but it never seems to work!)

The murder weapon? Yeah, Shen Qingqiu is almost guaranteed to have touched it. (Shen Qingqiu is severely tempted to start wearing gloves 24/7.)

The body? Either Shen Qingqiu finds it himself at some inopportune time, and/or it was stashed somewhere “only” he is supposed to have access to. (At some point it's just: Shen Qingqiu opens a door… sees a body… closes the door. “Time to call the cops, yet again.”)

Shen Qingqiu ends up a tad paranoid about the whole thing, setting up cameras outside his house, in his office, in his car, etc. just to (hopefully) stop people from planting evidence any of those places.

If anyone asks about the truly absurd number of (eventually dropped) murder allegations, Shen Qingqiu insists he's cursed. Even with genre blinders on (making the number of convoluted murders in the area seem normal somehow), it's hard for anyone to argue the point.

For Shen Qingqiu's day job (when he's not busy being charged with murder) he works as a professor at a university with a highly regarded Criminology & Criminal Justice program. I'm thinking the original goods was a literature professor, with a strong distaste for cops, who was known for grading anyone in the criminal justice program exceedingly harshly. Naturally one of his students is the protagonist, Luo Binghe.

After his transmigration, professor Shen Qingqiu suddenly becomes a very kind and doting professor with a real passion for literature. This leaves Luo Binghe quickly smitten and makes him a very motivated amateur detective, since he's determined to prove his beloved's innocence as quickly as possible and as often as needed!

Second Option: Shen Yuan takes over after the original goods already committed the murder.

He wakes up with a splitting headache (the victim attempted to defend themselves presumably), looks at his bloody hands… looks at the victim… looks at the weapon… looks at his bloody hands again. “Damn it, Airplane.”

He decides he doesn't want to try and hide a body actually, just to be caught by the protagonist later and charged with a whole slew of things in addition to murder, so he calls the cops himself. He might as well take advantage of the fact he has a concussion and literally doesn't remember a thing. Maybe he can get the charges reduced somewhat and get a lighter sentence.

Of course the first cop that arrives at the scene is Yue Qingyuan, who as the #1 Xiao-Jiu stan gives Shen Qingqiu way too much benefit of the doubt. The most obvious evidence also keeps being erased or damaged by weird as hell coincidences.

Shen Qingqiu knows he certainly isn't responsible for damaging evidence and wonders if the System is working overtime behind the scenes to ensure there actually is a mystery for Luo Binghe to solve. (After all, it wouldn't be much of a story if Shen Qingqiu was already charged and sentenced before Luo Binghe had a chance to even do anything.)

To his complete bewilderment, after a few days leave to recover from the concussion, Shen Qingqiu is actually allowed to return to his university teaching job. He decides to make the best of it, since who knows how long he'll be a free man.

As in the first scenario, a few months later and Luo Binghe is absolutely smitten, not to mention all the other students and faculty that have come to adore him.

As Shen Qingqiu has successfully endeared himself to pretty much anyone and everyone local that could actually charge him or provide eyewitness testimony, not to mention all the shady shit about murder victim Qiu Jianluo the ongoing investigation keeps digging up, the plot stalls for a bit until the state police (aka Huan Hua Palace) are finally called in by Qiu Haitang.

Unfortunately for the ‘HHP’ folks, the protagonist himself is on Shen Qingqiu's side, and Luo Binghe is perfectly happy to muddy the waters by conveniently “losing” evidence, sending them after every single red herring he comes across, and “accidentally” digging up dirt on all the shady dealings going on in their department.

The System keeps trying to motivate Shen Qingqiu to hide evidence, lie, or do literally anything suspicious to progress the plot further, but all its punishment protocols involve sabotaging Shen Qingqiu's coverup attempts (of which he has none) or revealing information to the protagonist (who is complicit by this point) so it's fresh out of luck.

Eventually the System gives up and Shen Qingqiu is congratulated for “getting away with murder!” despite the fact he didn't actually do anything.

“Seriously? Does it even count as getting away with murder when the original goods was the actual murderer? I didn't kill anyone!”

[...]

I went to the Chinese market and came home with two new kids' books and a bag of mango-flavored marshmellows.

(picture taken after I'd eaten half of them)

Note

for your 100th dragon you should use only 100 strokes/lines for the dragon. or if you have already gone past 100 do a dragon with the amount of lines corresponding to the number it is.

ex. 294th dragon gets 294 lines/strokes

personally i think it would be a neat challenge

#100- 一百 (yībǎi / one hundred) - Just connect the 100 dots to make a dragon! 🐉🐲💕

A bonus so you can try for yourself if you want :3c

another reason i think that xie lian felt an instant connection on the ox cart is because he and hua cheng both grew up in xianle.

there are maybe 4 people still alive that grew up in that culture. based on my own experience, you can pick up on things like accent, cadence, references, and humor that suggest a person is from the same place as you without consciously noticing it. that sense of comfort and similarity probably played into their instant chemistry.

#thinking about how they are bonded together by being the only people who remember their dead culture... augh it kind of makes me want to cr #as much fighting as fengqing do they are really the only people who will EVER understand each other's childhoods #which. aughhhh #there's a lovely modern au fic by heavensturtle called ''i'm just there to admire you.'' where they talk about chinese diaspora go read it #fics that mention paradise manor being in the xianle style also make me want to bawl. especially when fxmq notice it #other people that remember xianle: qi rong. jun wu. mei nianqing. yeah. none of those people are easy to talk to #buried deep in the xianle quartets heads are things like xianxia silly bands and xianxia nickelodeon and xianxia hi chew that LITERALLY #NOBODY ELSE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD REMEMBERS.
