Let's say Yuanzhi does something bad, would Shangjue betray the Gong family for him? Or would he choose family over his didi?

I think the answer to this will depend on the version of Shangjue that the situation is being posed to

Are we talking about the Shangjue that we met at the beginning of the show?

Or are we talking about the Shangjue we met at the end?

Because my answer will depend on that.

If we are talking about the RBF-card-that-never-declines, then I would say, No. He wouldn't betray the family for him and he wouldn't choose Yuanzhi over the family. That man is someone who doesn't see himself as anything more than just a vessel for his family's interests.

I mean. We already know he was willing to let Yuanzhi be imprisoned, though yes he did give the caveat that Yuanzhi must NOT be harmed, his exact words iirc were "if he died under suspicious means". Someone correct me coz my brain is a bit of buzz.

If we are talking about the Shangjue we met at the end of the show, we should also note that that is a version of Shangjue that has been tempered enough by purpose and drive to do this 👇🏼

Dude deadass rocked up to essentially his clan leader's abode, straight up said bitches better let my baby bro loose or else I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your fucking house down. And every single one of the people there knew he meant it.

And I think that the Shangjue that is formed by the end of the show is someone who is more settled within himself. Less bogged down by his place in the family and how he can serve it. I do think that he is more open, or at least more open, about the idea that he does have a favourite didi; even if he wouldn't hesitate to look out for the rest of his kin (the reveal of him being the one to leave that note that helped ziyu master his moves will remain one of my favourite things about that last arc of this show)

Also, it just may be a "me" thing but gaddamn Lei Lei's face in this scene. The rage. The pure discontent. The sheer THREAT that came right from his chest because HOW DARE THEY （╬ಠ益ಠ) I would pay good money to see him level the whole of Yu residence tho. Who is with me and who do we need to bribe.

I think on some level, should it ever come to Yuanzhi doing some fucked up shit that violates the precepts of the Gong family, the first thing Shangjue -- regardless of the version -- will do is ask for Yuanzhi's reasoning because he's not about to make a judgement without knowing the cause for that action. Yuanzhi's brash and young, but he's the furthest thing from stupid. Shangjue would never tolerate stupidity.

Then, once satisfied with Yuanzhi's reasons, he would murder and bury anyone who could incriminate Yuanzhi. The next thing he would do is confine Yuanzhi to his side where he can see him (lbr that brocon would love it) and where he can't get up to mischief. Because while Shangjue may not put Yuanzhi above family, it doesn’t mean he isn’t wholly and utterly devoted to Didi.

He would keep him safe to the best of his ability. In a way that the family wouldn't be dragged into it and he wouldn't have to make a choice.

@romchat you wanna jump in on this, fam? ~ヾ(＾∇＾)

In your opinion, how many years difference is there between Zishang, Shangjue, Ziyu and Yuanzhi? In the flashbacks there didn't seem to be much difference between Ziyu and Yuanzhi but the latter is treated like an entitled child while everyone expects everything from Ziyu.

Hm… based on the info we got, I reckon the gap between Yuanzhi and Ziyu with Shangjue and Zishang could be at least 5 to 6 years? Maybe less between Zishang and Ziyu?

For me, Ziyu and Yuanzhi could be a short year or two at max in terms of age difference.

Alright. Okay.

Addressing the “entitled child” commentary.

We did watch the same revelation that Ziyu’s dad was hard on him on purpose right? He straight up put Ziyu through the wringer coz he wanted him to “toughen up”. Who said Ziyu wasn’t pampered by his dad when he was younger? He was obviously doted upon until a certain age.

And the “everyone expects everything from Ziyu”? Fam. The dude is a straight up dandy because no one expected anything from him. While his dad might have said that he should get more involved in familial things, with his position in the family as Zhiren, did you think the dude could actually enforce that as a command? Instead, Ziyu is allowed to be wilfully idle.

In comparison to Yuanzhi:

Yuanzhi who is already holding a position of responsibility and command in the family even though isn’t yet crowned (of age)

Yuanzhi who is the poison master/prodigy of a generation; one that Elder Yue risked punishment to sneak out into the front hill to take a peek at (seriously. The back hill boys are freaks of nature so how insane must he be to have piqued their interests like that)

Yuanzhi who we know Shangjue had to acclimatise to being around other people/teach how to emote & socialise with others

Yuanzhi who probably knew very early on that there were eyes on him as Gong Shangjue’s precious person, as someone that Shangjue helped to raise, knew that he had to perform to a certain standard?

Tell me. Who do you think had more of everything expected of them?

[Edit To Add: the horse race for the next Zhiren was down to Gong Huanyu and Gong Shangjue. NO ONE was expecting Ziyu to ascend to the position. If there was any expectation on that front, it would be to stop hanging out with the prozzies so much and drink a little less coz think of your liver omfg. The dude was two shakes away from packing a bag and bouncing from The Valley and if everything hadn’t gone down the way it did, I’m dead sure he would have gone through with it and his dad wouldn’t have stopped him]

Would you be amenable to showing the various reactions of the gege's and jiejie's front and back in the aftermath of whatever prize Xue Tongzi claimed after peach week, I'm assuming Yuanzhi's state after raised even Shangjue's eyebrows XD

Gege’s face card that never declines:

Bro is deadass looking forward to 啪啪啪 that 菊花 coz I get the vibe that Gege is into 毒龙钻

Though I also reckon on the inside he’s also doing this

:)

Jiejie on the other hand would be more

Before diving straight into erotica note taking coz I got haunted by someone’s comment about jiejie being a secretly successful erotica writer and basing it off of the exploits of her family members

I am currently writing mainly for the Gong Shangjue x Gong Yuanzhi pairing, but I am open to writing for other pairings from MJTY as well, just drop your ask. YMMV regarding kinks and squicks, but I don't really have much by the way of that :D

Blog Glossary (commonly used tags)

gab writes stuff - writing tag; used for fics/headcanons and/or meta

gab rambles - asks and answer tags; used for any ask games mainly and for when I talk about stuff

ask meme - prompts for fics/questions for fun

you'll find all fics written for MJTY on the my journey to you fic tag

if you see the term 'Spicy Lemons' or even just the 🌶️🍋 emojis on any fics/postings -- better turn your phone brightness down or save it for when you can read them away from prying eyes :D

Otherwise, it'll be whatever main tags are being used in the fandom

(also the way lei lei is dragging rui rui with him like an unruly puppy is just A++ content i love that my cheeks still hurt from this episode)

Do you think we will ever see a second season of MJTY?

What are your headcanons for the second season?

Realistically, no.

Zhang Linghe and Esther Yu Are booked and busy, so is Tian Jiarui and Cheng Lei, and Lu Yuxiao seems to be doing well on her front. The director Guo Jingming is gonna need to strike while the iron is hot but I haven’t seen much yet to indicate that he has.

I foresee that this will end up in the way of Joy of Life — it got so popular that people wanted a second season but they had troubles trying to sync everyone’s schedule up to make it happen.

You gotta understand that for some of these actors, they’re often filming projects back to back or even simultaneously some times. Add on to the way popularity can make some of the actor’s fees skyrocket, budgeting might be another issue again.

Even if it does happen, I don’t think it’ll be for another three to four years at least. At the barest minimum, three. You got to factor in time for the censorship review process as well.

I know that it’s a trend in East Asian dramas these days to have a second season and so on so forth, but after a bit of distance from that finale we got, I don’t think I would want to see a second season. I hope for one and will watch if it goes through but I don’t think I need one.

I’ve long since adopted the life principle of “it is only is real when I see it” when it comes to cdrama. Don’t put your hopes on melons too much. Your life will be better that way.

If it does happen, personal headcanons say:

Ziyu & co. will work to bring down the head of Wu Feng

Yun Weishan will figure out how to deal with her twin

Said twin will have nefarious intentions

Xue Tongzi will ascend to the Elder position

Shangjue will go on a bring back baby mama expedition

Yuanzhi will get a love line of his own (which I genuinely hope not)
