Can you imagine being Pei Ming, God of Love, able to see when people love each other, able to see their emotions flowing between them, and having to watch Feng Xin and Mu Qing being the biggest clowns and making a ruckus across the Heaven with their fights while insisting that they don’t like each other?? I can’t decide if he’d just be wildly entertained or wanting to tear his hair out in frustration and despair.

i always had this thought that since they yell in the communication array while forgetting to disconnect, they would definitely forget about the silencing talisman...
also qing-er would be soooooooooooo annoyed and grumpy if they get interrupted in the middle of... meetings...

okay listen I do in fact hate jun wu with my whole heart but respect to him for making his divorce with mei nianqing literally everyone's problem
Xiao XiChen and Song Lan’s entire relationship was basically just the wanting to live together and start a family and Xiao XiChen would give up his own eyes to Song Lan and Song Lan wondered around for YEARS trying to find him and apologize. Likes it’s so domestically gay?
OKAY SO LEMME SHARE HOW FCKN CANON SONGXIAO IS IN THE NOVEL:
“””most intimate friend””” SUUUUUURE so that’s how we call engaged gays there, huh AND HELL YES TO A HAPPY FIXIT FOR THE YI CITY CREW
Just realized that the pick up line “did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?” Would both work SO WELL but also fail miserably for hualian. Like it could go multiple ways:
Hua Cheng being all flirty and trying to be smooth (successful): hey, gege, did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?
Xie Lian, oblivious: which time?
——
Hua Cheng being all flirty and trying to be smooth (successful): hey, gege, did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?
Xie Lian: yeah, it’s a pretty long fall. But, I’m fine, really. All healed 😊
Hua Cheng, freaking out and checking Xie Lian over: gege!! 😱
——
Xie Lian trying to flirt and be smooth (failing, but it’s hua cheng so he’s into it either way): San Lang, did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?
Hua Cheng: No. I didn’t fall, I jumped. How could I stay in heaven if my god was walking the earth?
Xie Lian, blushing profusely: San Lang!!!
——
Xie Lian trying to flirt and be smooth (failing, but it’s hua cheng so he’s into it either way): San Lang, did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?
Hua Cheng, staring lovingly at Xie Lian: gege’s my heaven, and he’s the one that caught me.
Xie Lian, equally besotted: San Lang…🥹
——
Hua Cheng, before Banyue Pass and still disguised as San Lang: gege, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?
Xie Lian, shocked: San Lang knows even this!?!? He really is amazing! 😃 (see the second option for how this progresses)
——
Surprise beefleaf!!
Shi Qingxuan, flipping his hair and fluttering his eyelashes flirtatiously: Ming-Xiong, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?
He Xuan disguised as Ming Yi, feeling pretty murderous over the question: …
Shi Qingxuan, oblivious to it: because you must be an angel 😘
He Xuan, reached his “Shi Qingxuan threshold for the day” and walking away: …
Shi Qingxuan: eh?! Ming-Xiong? Where are you going??
——
Lmao just looked up the actual pick up line and realized I remembered it wrong, so have some more 🤗🤗
Hua Cheng being all flirty and trying to be smooth (successful): hey, gege, did it hurt?
Xie Lian, not sure what incident he’s talking about: I have a high pain tolerance 😊
Hua Cheng: …
——
Surprise FengQing!!
Feng Xin: hey! Did it hurt!?
Mu Qing, annoyed, wondering what he wants: did what hurt?
Feng Xin: when you fell from heaven?
Mu Qing, drawing his saber: …is that a threat? 😡😡😡
Feng Xin, realizing he fucked it up: 😳😳😳
——
Jun Wu, trapped in Mount Tonglu: did it hurt?
Mei Nianqing, sitting to the side, reading a book, not even looking up: did what hurt?
Jun Wu: when you fell from heaven?
Mei Nianqing, flipping a page and still not bothering to spare him a glance: you’re the one that fell, my lord, not me.
junmei is so funny from xie lian's perspective. imagine your former mentor that dipped 800 years ago finally showing up to court for a proper custody battle, proceeding to expose your #1 lifelong idol to be the insane lunatic that fucked up your life back when you were a teenager and then finding out said insane lunatic that fucked up your life also fucked said mentor 2000 years ago creating the three realms's most toxic doomed yaoi
stanning fengqing is so useless bc 100% of their interactions are them canonically trying to off one another, but the way i need to interpret them are borderline delusional. like yes, look, they briefly glanced at each other in absolute loathing and abhorrence of each other's existence, and they do indeed strike at each other's most mortifying moments with the intention to hurt deeply. BUT if you look CLOSELY at how their gazes LINGER then you can tell that they actually very slightly in a very teeny tiny way yearn for each other in a way that transcends distance and time...no no wait come back i swear it's true—
They are canonically over 800 years old.
Hello, is there any evidence and/or depictions of Tamg Dynasty women actually wearing the hezi as an undergarment rather than an outer garment?
(If you don't know what "hezi/诃子" is, I'll put it under the Keep Reading.)
Hi!!
I checked on Baidu, I checked on Google, I checked on Bili, I checked in my Hanfu books, I checked on 小红书 (popular Chinese app), and from all the information I gathered the simple answer is:
No.
As of right now, there are no artefacts or paintings depicting women of the Tang Dynasty wearing the undergarment hezi (诃子) inside. I imagine one of the difficulties with undergarments is most depictions (paintings, figures, etc) wouldn't show people wearing it without outer wear, so we can only rely on tomb excavations to unearth actual garments, and right now none have been discovered.
But you never know what they might uncover in the future! I heard when they expanded Xi'an's airport last time they dug out 3,500 tombs, so they're always finding new things :D
Hezi (诃子) is a woman's undergarment that many people thought was worn during the Tang Dynasty. It was strapless and covered the bust, then gradually evolved to be worn with portions being viewable on the outside (the green strip across the bust would be the 'hezi'):
However, no actual artefacts have been uncovered to show anyone wearing hezi inside, so the official status of this garment is "under question (存疑)".
A lot of Hanfu stores sell hezi dresses (诃子裙) which is actually not a historically accurate garment. They connect the top and bottom portion so it's just one long dress rather than separated (and they added straps for convenience). It does tend to be a very "stereotypical" look for the Tang Dynasty for people who aren't familiar with historically accurate Hanfu:

There’s actually not much to analyze about this chapter ‘cause it’s simply well said. So I’ll be sharing my thoughts & feelings. This chapter has such a warm (with a hint of sad) end to a rollercoaster of an arc
Oof my dear boy here needs to rest
I do kinda feel bad for Endo. In a way, he just has this longing and slow burn love for Chika and he just knew he can’t be seen by him the same way he sees Umemiya; being accepted in his world.
Endo gives him everything while he receives nothing (but punches and kicks).
No wait. This is adorable. TF. Endo expects a good hit from Chika but was ecstatic when the kick was harmless. Chika didn’t even give one hit but multiple soft hits??!! STAHP! That’s too cute.
The way Chika's fist froze when Endo mentioned a hot bath 🥲 He's tired af and being babied by Endo 😭
This confirms all the things he said to Sakura about Umemiya is his negative perspective of him. He DETESTS and is jealous of the guy who’s able to be in his Chika’s world.
Now…this is sad.
Something tells me Chika had a really bad experience with people at a very young age…or maybe had none at all :(
Maybe links to his probable face blindness. People who have such condition are usually mistaken to be cold or indifferent towards people, but it's because they have a hard time remembering people's faces. Although, in here, it sounds like his indifference to humans makes him develop face blindness. So I hope we get to hear more of Chika’s past in their talk.
Ah, there’s our Umemiya.
Come to think of it, since his biological family died, Umemiya was exposed to people from different walks of like who are not his blood since he was 9. He has grown and absorbed a vast world for 8-9yrs.
And he could truly tell Chika how amazing it is.
Without even realizing it, Chika actually made the first step to expanding his world. It started from the moment he accepted Umemiya. He even said Ume’s name before Ume told him this trick.
And now that he is aware of it, Chika looks like he decided to accept more people in his world, little by little.
(For some reason, maybe it's because his hair is drenched wet, but he looks lost here 🥺)
I SCREAMED. I knew it. And I’m not even an endochika stan. Oh Endo. Chika has acknowledged him 😫AND A FULL NAME!
(I actually thought we’ll have something dramatic like Togame & Choji crying scene but i dont think it’s ready for that lol)
HUZZAH! UME WON! WE WON! 🎐
Tsubaki collapsed in relief, cutie Choji cheering, and Bofurin, Shishitoren and Roppo Ichiza together rejoicing 🥹and our Class 1-1 are okay 😭
Now y’all gotta tend to your wounds, bath and rest! Jeez 😮💨🤧
No words were said but that smile and gesture says a lot. Both leaders didn’t lose. They kept each other's promises.
Umemiya is thankful, happy, and proud of Sakura. Not only for winning and being there for him, but for becoming the person he is now. He is glad his kouhai part of the found family, Bofurin 🥹💚
And we got a double COLOR spread of the two!! 😭😭😭 Thank you Nii sensei! This is beautiful 💚
I hope they get to talk after ALL that. Sakura was a bit shaken up in seeing Umemiya like that and I'm sure he has questions about what Endo meant. Either way, I'm sure Umemiya would want to chat with Sakura about his fight with Endo.
Side note: I LOVE the silly exchange between Umemiya and Endo 🤣most especially reading those small text beside the dialogue bubbles.
I can hear the sarcasm in the “since you didn’t even give half a sht about me before” 🤣🤣🤣
Ah what an end to a great long arc! What a wild ride that was. Hope we get that BBQ! All of them (us included) deserve it 😭
Thank you so much Nii sensei for such an awesome arc. And Jacqueline and team for translating and lettering the manga for us 🥰 You all work hard! 💚
