#every time she shows up now i'm all “bingchang???! a surprise to be sure but a welcome one”

[lotus-queer]

So I'm finally watching Mysterious Lotus Casebook, and surprise! There's Chen Duling in the third drama I've watched in a row.

I've now seen her play, in order:

A gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss snake princess:

A grieving noble with post-partum depression:

A grieving asthmatic martial sect leader (?):

Tough times all around for these ladies, but a great year for her!
