#shen san extra

[dual-domination]

Summary: Shen San was just a man. Under the plum tree, his tombstone told a little story that perhaps only a broken-hearted poet and an enlightened-hearted monk could decipher. The characters engraved next to his name were in a shape as beautiful as Shen Wei's calligraphy flowing from brush to paper. This was the first time that Shen Wei had come here with a different appearance than Shen San had known. "I have little time left but I decided to start another life in the human world, it's been a while since the last time. In your time, you said to me 'you are young but completely adult, so what?' before you were sure that I was much older than you had imagined.” About making a different decision this time, the last time, the only person Shen Wei has to ask for advice is Shen San - even though his words can only exist in Shen Wei's heart.

This fic is a prequel to my shared work with @tazzy-ace , In endless mist and rain, drawing your silhouette again and again , but it perfectly works as a story of its own. Because I needed to be sad about Shen San/Shen Wei again.

every time these gifs arrive at my timeline, I see Shen San in them

they immediately spark my inspiration to draw Shen San and our plum blossom spirit Wei. I should do it soon, or I’ll go mad

The forest in the Ardennes is already shining. Don't come near me. Stupid, stupid, I dealt with the world:

I ate bread, I drank water, the wind has blown me, the rain has wet me. So, beware of me, go away. So cover your eyes.

Go away, go away, but not by land. Sail away, sail away, but not by sea. Fly away, fly away, my good one, but don't touch the air.

Let's look at each other with closed eyes. Let's talk with our mouths closed. Let's touch through the thick wall.

me reading this as post shen san extra shen wei, who got even more experience in the world and therefore is considering himself even less worthy of kunlun, and also always remembering what happened with shen san and never wanting it to happen again, but craving love so fucking much:

Hi!!! I’d love to hear about Ming Fan :)

hahahahaha well you already know! But it's true we did talk about two Ming Fan fics.

This one has 6,000 words. I doubt I will have the patience to finish it, even though Tarnished Gold by prim_the_amazing made me want 30,000 other fics like it.

In this fic, Shen Yuan does not transmigrate into Shen Qingqiu's body. He instead transmigrates into Ming Fan's body, about 9 months before Shen Qingqiu is due to toss Luo Binghe into the Endless Abyss.

Here's a short excerpt that I think basically demonstrates the premise. The opening of the fic is that LBH is being tortured in the woodshed as a result of Ming Fan's bullying. When LBH gets out he hears that Ming Fan has fallen ill. He doesn't exactly care.

A few warnings: there's bullying, violent thought, and a number of OCs in this excerpt. Also, the narration is unkind to Ning Yingying--this is because LBH likes her well enough but doesn't really understand her behavior. The idea is that Shen Yuan would eventually shed light for Luo Binghe on why she does what she does, making her a far more relatable and comprehensible character for the reader. (And as in canon, NYY having someone around who treats her like an adult also helps NYY herself grow and change).

A week later, Ning Yingying came to visit while Luo Binghe mucked out the horses’ stalls. “Did you hear? Ming-shixiong is doing much better,” she remarked, sitting on a bale of hay, watching as he worked.

Ning Yingying never helped with the additional tasks always assigned to Luo Binghe. She’d tried to a few times in early days. She’d been reprimanded for it and Luo Binghe punished, though Luo Binghe being punished never seemed like a strong deterrent to her. At first, Luo Binghe had thought that she didn’t realize that they liked her, and that was why she also didn’t realize that evidence that she liked him resulted in hardship upon him. Gradually, he came to see that she just didn’t notice that her behavior could really have an effect on anyone who wasn’t her.

Once he asked her not to help him with the chores, she gave in easily. She really hadn’t liked doing them anyway.

When Luo Binghe said nothing, Ning Yingying went on. “They say he suffered memory loss as a result of the illness. Even some of his cultivation technique!”

Luo Binghe shoveled more of the dung into the wheeled cart. He had heard the same thing, but it didn’t really concern him much. Ming Fan’s cultivation had never been strong to begin with, even though his spiritual cultivation was still much stronger than Luo Binghe’s. It didn’t matter. Luo Binghe’s demonic cultivation, under the tutelage of Ming Mo, had already made him more powerful than Ming Fan would ever be.

“I’ve heard he’s been practicing with the little ones to relearn it,” Ning Yingying went on. “Shu-shimei, Mu-shimei, even San-shidi. He’s only twelve! Have you ever heard Ming-shixiong even speak to them?”

Ming Fan should have been speaking to them. He was Head Disciple, and Shu Mingxia, Mu Bailong, and San Nianzhou were Ming Fan’s youngest martial siblings. Ming Fan’s duty was to ensure that they were well tutored, but of course, Ming Fan had never done anything of the sort with Luo Binghe. He shoveled up another pile of dung.

“I just think it’s interesting,” Ning Yingying said, when Luo Binghe still didn’t reply.

“What’s interesting?” said a voice.

Luo Binghe paused, then slowly turned around.

Huo Yuhan, one of Ming Fan’s gang, stood in the doorway of the stables, flanked by two others. During Ming Fan’s illness, Huo Yuhan and these other two had carried on the thankless yet necessary task of insulting Luo Binghe, pranking him, assigning him extra work, and making sure he didn’t have enough to eat. “I said, what’s interesting?” Huo Yuhan demanded, swaggering into the stable. “Is it how much shit Luo-shidi can shovel? Because I’m interested in him shoveling more.”

“Huo-shixiong,” was all Luo Binghe said. He rested his hand casually around the handle of the shovel, imagining bashing it into Huo Yuhan’s head—but he already knew he wouldn’t do it. Patience, Meng Mo had counseled. The boys would rough him up. Ning Yingying would protest, and Luo Binghe would let them. Then he would go back to shoveling shit.

“Maybe it’s interesting whether you’re good for anything else,” Huo Yuhan said. “Tell me, Shidi, are you good for anything but shoveling shit? Maybe eating shit?”

“Huo-shidi,” said a quiet voice.

Luo Binghe shifted his eyes behind the trio, who all turned to look at the stable door entrance. Ming Fan stood there, looking a little pale. His mouth was a flat line.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhan’s face broke into a wide grin. “Ming-shixiong! So glad you’re here. I was just asking Luo-shidi whether he wanted to eat shit. What do you think?”

“Shizun wants you.” Ming Fan’s eyes fell on the other two disciples flanking Huo Yuhan. “You as well.”

“What? What for?”

Ming Fan gave a slight shake of his head. “He didn’t say.”

“Well, fine,” said Huo Yuhan. “We can tell him how badly Luo-shidi is slacking.”

“Right,” said Fu Xuefeng, one of the other lackeys. “He’s barely shoveled anything.”

“You’re the ones who interrupted him,” Ning Yingying said irritably.

“We’ll tell him you said so.” Fu Xuefeng smirked, knowing that any time Shen Qingqiu heard about Ning Yingying defending Luo Binghe, the punishment doubled.

Luo Binghe kept his silence, hand still on the shovel.

“Why would we bother Shizun with reports about dung?” Ming Fan’s eyes were fixed calmly on the trio, as though Luo Binghe wasn’t even there. “I’m sure it’s beneath his notice.”

Huo Yuhan began, “But Luo-shidi hasn’t—”

“It’s beneath his notice,” Ming Fan said firmly. “Come along.” Ming Fan waited at the door until the other three had filed out, then turned and left.

He hadn’t looked at Luo Binghe once. He hadn’t looked at Ning Yingying either, which was far more strange. Ming Fan usually never passed up an opportunity to ridicule Luo Binghe, but perhaps Ming Fan had decided ignoring Luo Binghe and calling him beneath Shen Qingqiu’s notice was ridicule enough. But Luo Binghe couldn’t remember a time when Ming Fan hadn’t looked for an opportunity to ingratiate himself with Ning Yingying, even despite all these years of her disinterest. Did he think that acting like he was too good to care about dung shoveling was going to impress her somehow?

“Like I said,” Ning Yingying, tossing aside a piece of hay she’d been playing with. “It’s very interesting.”

WRT BingBing being bi, I kind of get what anon means? Not many people know that he's canonically bisexual, but there is a certain degree of dislike for M/M partnerships where one character has had successful and ostensibly happy/fulfilling ''heterosexual'' relationships. I think it falls into the fandom flanderizing issue, because you have to make a subjective judgement on how valid you think those marriages were. It's far easier to have an objectively gay Wangji or exclusively into one man San Lang, because it protects newer fans from having to defend their headcanons on their actual merits. Nowdays all I see instead is the ''If you ship X it's because you fetishize Y!" crowd, and BingQiu is designed not to appeal to them by virtue of... literally being a takedown of those kind of controlling and ever-hungry fans.

Again a rlly interesting idea, posting for my followers to chew on.

I can definitely see your perspective, and to add onto it personally, I think where a lot of this sort of vagueness falls in is, as usual, all Shen Yuan's (comphet's) fault lol. I think the automatic correction from sqq's very obviously wrong "he was straight, but I turned him gay" yaoi ass concept of binghe's sexuality is "well binghe was gay all along and just into women because of comphet/word of God". I think it's very fair to incorporate this comphet element since sqq, being how he is, is pretty heavy on it, and because a lot of svsss fans resonate with that. I'm not trying to take that away from anyone, so I don't want anyone to think that when I'm referring to Binghe as canonically bisexual I'm at all discounting the perspectives of people who relate to feeling unfulfilled in relationships before realizing their sexuality or whatnot. However, I do personally think that it helps to distinguish sqq's view of sexuality from the rest of pidw and airplane's. Binghe wasn't really born into an environment that had strong societal comphet, unlike sqq. As we learn from Sha Hualing in the airplane extra, demons don't really care about sexuality or even an understanding of what "straight" means. From this, we can kind of assume that Bing-ge is marrying women by choice (of course you can bring in the argument that it was the meta hand of the audience forcing airplane to force him to marry women, but functionally within the story, yeah he's marrying a bunch of girls So) and accent that by noting how Bing-ge has had a history of being abused by men and comforted by women, meaning that even if he did find men attractive, he probably wouldn't trust them the way he does women. Ultimately I do think Binghe as a character is functionally bisexual, and that his unhappy straight marriages were as valid as any other heterosexual boomer marriage where it was happy and lovey dovey at first but then starts souring until the husband is referring to his wife as his ball and chain or some shit.

I think sometimes about the (crack?) AU potential of SY's sister getting just straight-up isekai'd into SV, no transmigration required-- like a few years after the extras, yeah? Probably a bit out of it after being hit by a truck, as per genre rules.

TLDR chaos ensues, because a certain Peak Lord or two jumped to conclusions (or, in SQH's case, enabled them) & now everyone thinks this girl is SQQ's long-lost daughter. For one-!

A) SQQ clearly recognised this young woman from the moment he saw her, reflexively calling out her name B) --and unfortunately he couldn't explain how he knew her / why he cared so much

C) Her surname is Shen. The same Shen as Shen Qingqiu.

Those three points combined with her being roughly the right age & the Original SQQ's many visits to the Warm Red Pavilion... and suddenly it's a tragedy. Clearly, some part of SQQ still recognizes her, but he doesn't remember having a daughter! Poor girl!

This leads to SQQ having a crisis, because it's a lot easier if his martial siblings assume that she's....... but that's definitely his little sister. and Fuck. Fuck!!! Binghe is reasonably distressed by this not-daughter & the implications thereof, but the only way to placate him without outright lying to his husband's face some more.... is to just tell Binghe the truth.

This is not how he thought this would happen, but because I agree with someone in a text post I saw (forget where) that Binghe would only become more insufferable upon learning that his husband was essentially sent here from another world to be with him? Well, he's placated anyway! More or less! Not in any way that SQQ could have anticipated though!!

Anyway, upon waking from her post-isekai exhaustion & actually learning who Shen Qingqiu is--and perhaps freaking out a little bit, because! her big brother DIED! But now he's been HERE and MARRIED and aaaaaaaa!!

But after that! I like to imagine she doubles down on pretending to be his daughter in front of the other Peak Lords, because it causes her dearest San-ge immense psychic damage. But he can't do anything about it. :3

(They dote on her-- YQY especially)

Tender is the Storm

Alternative Title: The Scum Villain's Very Troublesome Hoard

The world is a dangerous place for a living hoard, but Shen Jiu is a dragon and will always protect what is his.

This might be easier if anyone had decided to inform him of that fact.

Xiao Qi was only a child himself when he came across a pretty rock halfway buried in the mud on the side of the road. 

It wasn’t a road anyone would go down without reason, rather one that led to where he was kept with the other children. He was the second youngest. Qi, number seven. He had a name before he was sold, but remembering it wasn’t worth the beatings, and none of the other kids had names that weren’t numbers. Keeping his wouldn’t be fair. So Xaio Qi was Xiao Qi or A-Qi or Qi-er or even Qi-ge to A-Ba who was the only one younger than he was.

(The adults rarely called them more than the name itself, usually stinking with just Qi and Ba and San and so on, but Er-jie and Yi-ge insisted that at least between them they should be called like family, like people. So he was Xiao Qi, even in his mind because it would make them sad if he was just Qi.)

It was nice being older than someone, it meant he could help them where they struggled. No one else was going to if he didn’t. And Little Eight was so small and delicate. He wasn’t sure how the adults expected her to do all the chores on her own, and begging on the street wasn’t something they allowed her to do. They said she was too delicate to be seen like that.

(Xiao Qi thought A-Ba would be very good at begging. She drew attention the few times she was allowed out with him, and people were kinder to her.)

It didn’t make sense to keep her at the warehouse and doing chores when anyone bigger than her would be a better choice. 

Xiao Qi had gotten lucky today though! Someone had taken pity on him today and given him double -twice!- the amount he usually made in three days! He could go back home early and help A-Ba without the adults knowing he left early and might even get praise for such a good haul. Praise was nice, it made him feel warm where usually there was only a cold numb feeling. Sometimes it even earned them extra food or the rare bit of meat. 

It was still early, and no one else would be on their way back yet, which is likely the only reason Xiao Qi was the one to see the pretty rock and not someone else. He’s even luckier than he thought! If he hadn’t gotten money earlier, he’d not be on the way back, and he’d never have seen the lovely green rock at all! Someone would have taken it and kept it or sold it!

It was stuck rather deep in the disgusting mud and filth off the side of the road, so maybe someone had been by but passed it up because they didn’t want to touch the mud. But it was so pretty, and maybe if he brought it back the adults would be extra happy and all of them would get a full serving of congee like that one time Er-jie brought in the pretty green hair piece! 

Xiao Qi didn’t want to step into the mud, it wasn’t his turn to bathe for another five days! And he knew from experience that being extra dirty wasn’t enough to change the schedule. It would just make him have to sleep away from the others or even outside. He was smart though, and found a stick before returning to the rock and using it to shift the rock closer. 

It was much bigger than he thought it would be. Heavier too!

It was really hard to move it close enough to grab from outside the mud, and when he did, he had to use both hands to lift it to the main part of the road, almost causing him to overbalance and fall in anyways. It was oddly circular, not at all flattened and misshapen like most rocks he sees. The bottom is a bit bigger than the top, tapering into an almost point. Like a much bigger version of the chicken eggs he’s seen the adults cook. And wouldn’t that be funny! For such a pretty rock to actually be a giant egg!

He uses his hands and some leaves to clean it off the best he can, which was surprisingly well. The mud seemed to slide right off the rock!

It felt odd under his hands. 

It was chilly out, the leaves beginning to change color which the older kids said meant it would be too cold to sleep alone soon, but the rock was warm as if it had been sitting in the summer sun or on the floor next to the cooking fire where the oldest and biggest usually claimed before the heat disappeared for the night. It was also a little bumpy, not as smooth as he first thought, textured - he thinks the word is. And it wasn’t just green! It was green and gold! The gold sparkled in the sun and was only where the smooth changed to bumpy. 

It was the prettiest thing he’d ever seen. Prettier than the clothes the nice Jiejies at the building with red lanterns wore or even the men and women in the fancy carriages that pretended they didn’t see him when they decided to walk on the streets and he didn’t think he’d ever hold things as pretty as those.

Xiao Qi picked up the rock and started back to the warehouse. He wanted to show A-Ba before it was taken away by either the older kids or the adults. 

He tried to hurry, he really did, but he kept stopping to readjust his grip and get a better look at the rock. Eventually, he noticed a crack. 

Oh no! Did he cause that when he was moving it with the stick? A stick shouldn’t be enough to break a rock! He’s pretty sure that wasn’t there before, but maybe it was just a new angle. Maybe that’s why the pretty rock was thrown in the mud like trash?

Xiao Qi ducks into one of the smaller alleys to get a closer look, maybe it’s not too bad. The adults say they can buff goods to make them look better, so if it’s just a small crack, maybe he can fix it!

Even as he thinks it, the crack gets bigger. Oh no!

In a panic, Xiao Qi puts it on the ground and holds the rock on both sides as if that will keep the pieces together. 

It does not, the single crack spiderwebs into many and begins to admit a bright gold glow. 

Xiao Qi has to shut his eyes tightly against the bright light, but even then it still shades his eyelids gold. He’s sure that rocks shouldn’t just randomly start to glow. 

When the gold disappears, he carefully cracks open an eye to look at the rock. Except there’s no rock anymore.

Where the green rock sat is now only shards.

In the center of the shards is a baby. 

“Oh,” he says in shock, “it must have been an egg after all.”

I GOT GUARDIAN BOOK 1 AAAAA

I'm happy to report that, so far, I'm happy with the translation ToT

Also I'm 98% sure they're translating the webnovel version, so some print novel additions I'm not sure if they'll add. So I'm hoping somehow the Shen San extra is still in the last book wirh the extras. The Kunlun prologue is not included in this (so far). In my print chinese copy, the Kunlun prologue is the very first part, followed by this part, then followed by chapter 1. Chapter 1 also has no Zhu Hong in this like in the web version, in the print version shewas added to the scene when he faints.

#guardian #rant #AAAAA IM HOLDING <3 #i know 1 page is barely enough to judge the translation. but ive seen like 5 versions of this opening translated #jncluding my own attempt. and this version kept most of the details #if anyone remembers Rainbowse7ens it summarized a lot of descriptions. #and of course MTL summarizes a lot of descriptions. so im really happy i see the details i saw included in chinesr

#ooc . #it takes one fanart of shen wei in plum blossoms to get me back on my bs again

[hideyseek]

ok episode 21 was sooooooooo beautiful and fun to me. lao chu meets guo changcheng's family and they play mahjong. flustered shen wei immediately ditches his students when class ends. lin jing meets a girl and she's maybe evil. zhu hong continues to have the world's most tragic crush. da qing gets to be a cat for the first time in six episodes. zhao yunlan trips no less than fourteen times and twelve of them are directly into shen wei's arms. i almost forgot that san zan and wang zheng have the most extra romantic dance scene instead of doing their jobs. also shen wei is angry and so so frowning like four whole times in this episode, and we don't see him move with a shred of his usual composure for the first twenty! five! minutes!!

#beautiful episode to me #pacing was all over the place as usual but thats fine nothing is like. at stake #hidey watches guardian #also #GUARDIAN SPOILERS #lmao

[dual-domination]

I'm totally not here with my fics hurting myself over Novel!Weilan + Shen Wei/Shen San AGAIN. Forever traumatized over Shen San (yeah, ME and Shen Wei too). Thank you very much for your attention.

#Shen San is Zhao Yunlan in Wuxia and that's it #No matter how many times I read that Extra I cry #a shame that not everyone who read the Novel read one of that BEST parts of it Ç_Ç #try to reread Guardian after reading Shen San Extra and see what happens #Guardian #Zhen Hun #Guardian Novel #priest novels #Shen Wei #Zhao Yunlan #Shen San #weilan

11/17/2022

So. I was doing this thing from September to October where I read stuff WITHIN my reading level, or a bit ‘lower’ but with new words, or a bit ‘higher’ but with a click dictionary. Partly intensively, partly extensively. Read like 400k characters in 2 months. Then... as I sort of expected... my ability to focus shifted. 

I read 3 english books since then (this november) but no more chinese. I watched Flower of Evil, I’m half done with 2 more shows. I wrote 10k words of fanfic (but alas... I have not actually managed to focus on writing again). I’d guess I’m currently in a “read physical books/watch TV” focus mood. And that’ll be shifting into “play video games” and MAYBE one of the prior activities (read or shows) if I’m lucky. But I already feel like playing games again so. Only a matter of time. (And eventually, when that hits, the desire to study Japanese will ramp up again... cause the instant I hear Japanese in Yakuza I’ll want to know how to understand more again).

Also an aside... I STILL really want to just listen through a FULL glossika course, or listen-reading method through a whole audiodrama with subs... just to test out the study methods fully. But alas... still I cannot manage to focus long enough to do either ToT. When I start playing video games again I probably WILL listen to japanese glossika again... but so much is review versus new, idk if I’ll progress through it much. But it will be a good refresher I guess.

Anyway. So the reason I felt like making the post. Right. To say 1. I have not studied for almost a month lol. 2. The only REALLY big ‘study’ activity I feel like doing... and might actually do. Well, its not practical. Its not easy. Which is exactly why there’s a 50% chance I’ll actually do it. As I’m in a ‘reading physical books’ mood, reading my print version of Guardian YET AGAIN is appealing to me. First, because a lot of my stuff is in boxes but not those 2 volumes. Second, because I’ve read 100 pages of it before and followed the plot a year ago, and my reading skill has improved by BOUNDS in the last 2 months, so like... at least I know I already COULD read it so its only a matter now of How Fast can I read now (compared to the very slow 5 minutes a page a year ago) and how many details I’ll grasp (which can only be an improvement from last time). I’m motivated by the fact the books are still easy to get to, and I know they’ve got additional scenes the translations don’t have (since I believe the translation Seven Seas is printing is based on the webnovel version, since Yuka’s doing it and Yuka’s translation when I saw it last was totally the webnovel... no Kunlun prologue, no added scenes in the first chapters like in my print version etc). So unless Seven Seas knows enough to care about the differences, or yuka feels like translating the print edition chapters and combining them (which given how Seven Seas demands quick turnarounds I can see the desire to not crunch time to desperately add those), I’m guessing the official english translation print of Guardian will NOT have a lot of scenes in my print chinese edition (though dan do i hope the english translation at least includes the Shen San extra). Also! If you fee like buying the Chinese Print Edition, for these extra scenes (Kunlun Intro, additions to some scenes in particular chapters like changing Guo Changcheng’s introduction into SID into a mesh of the webnovel and show version with him seeing ghosts with no feet but not fainting until he sees Zhu Hong’s tail - whereas in the original webnovel version Zhu Hong is out that day, Shen San extra, etc), I recommend buying the print simplified chinese cover that’s in browns with a mountain on the cover. Here is book 1 and here’s book 2, in the upper right corner of the page you can click and change the language of the site to english, the site ships internationally. These versions are also on ebay and aliexpress. My favorite cover Guardian editions are the traditional chinese versions with shen wei and zhao yunlan on the covers, with internal gold/white covers. But that version is just a traditional chinese text of the webnovel, missing some extras. The brown mountains cover simplified chinese version is one with the extras and additions. (also for those curious, here’s the japanese translation volume 1 print edition for sale, and Seven Seas english Guardian volume 1 print edition for preorder). Upon checking Seven Seas Danmei, looks like there’s 2 other translations besides yuka listed, so maybe the translators will have enough time to add some of the additional content from the books (again I hope at least the Shen San extra). 

My point is. If I do read my print chinese edition, I will get some scenes I might not be able to read later in english anyway. And what I don’t understand perfect, will surely get clarified when the english edition comes out, and of course I’m getting the english edition ToT. So of the chinese reading I COULD do, if I managed to get myself to read and practice soon, its 50% likely going to be Guardian. Even though I know that’s 30% harder (at Least) compared to a lot of other stuff I could pick. (Oddly I also have all my dmbj volumes out and easily accessible to read right now, however... for some reason reading them in print is WAY harder to me than reading online, even when I’m reading extensively online. I think maybe the dmbj print volumes got edited a bit for more nice writing, which in npss case maybe made it actually higher reading level a little lol? That, or I’m just getting thrown by print font versus digital online font which is certainly possible... watch... I say ‘oh I probably won’t read dmbj’ then I might read yuncun biji tomorrow, who knows. I think a demotivator with dmbj ALSO is it is so easy to read digitally cause if I do run into an unknown word and look it up I learn FAST and difficulty lowers FAST, whereas when I read on paper a lot of ‘easy’ haggling and tomb words confuse me and just guessing them is a lot slower than a quick click-translation clarification once... whereas with priest’s writing its going to be HARD no matter how I read it, so reading it on paper versus digitally doesn’t feel like much of a difference in terms of ‘difficulty either way.’)

So yeah. Check in next month and see if I read any chinese, or absolutely none. 

(In my defense! haha no there is none. Anyway, in my defense! I am doing some japanese review ToT. And I am reading Three Body Problem in english translation right now, which seems unrelated but trust me I’m very into it and the more into it I get the more its going to lead to me listening to the audiobook in chinese later - which is already happening, trying to read bits of it in chinese later, and trying to watch the donghua as soon as that comes out... along with the shows. So in the short term yeah its just english, in the long term its gonna motivate me to study again once I get into the stuff post-books. So like... I’m not doing much study at all... but I did read 400k chinese characters in 2 months, maybe I need a break... maybe its all soaking in... or maybe I’ll try reading again after the break and be real annoyed at myself that I gotta restudy like 500 words lol).

“Yao-xiong, you don’t have a background nor a surname. Why don’t you take mine, ‘Shen’? Mountain ghost, Wei (嵬). This name is too casual and reeks of gloom. It’s not a good name. Let’s change into another.”

“Into what?”

“Why not add a few more strokes and form a Wei (巍)  ——  The Wei from ‘lofty green mountains (巍巍青山)’. How is that?”

          Shen... Wei.
