Because the Universe said, "I love you."

As the play was starting, Shi Qingxuan turned to Xie Lian and asked, โ€œYour Highness, is this play about your early days? I didnโ€™t know you had a girlfriend!โ€

Xie Lian blushed, โ€œThatโ€™s actually not my girlfriendโ€ฆโ€

Just then โ€˜Xie Lianโ€™ from the play said his first dialogue.

โ€œBeloved, I have made my decision.โ€

โ€œYour Highness, you couldnโ€™t possibly do that.โ€

โ€˜Xie Lianโ€™ moved to brush a strand of her hair behind her ear but she caught his hand.

โ€œYour Highness, you must understand the implication of a move like that.โ€

โ€œI do.โ€

โ€œNO HE DID NOT! THESE ARE LIES!โ€ Feng Xin yelled from the back.

Xie Lian was watching so intently that when Feng Xin shouted he jerked back into his seat.

OR

It's been 8 centuries since the fall of Xianle. And it's been eight centuries since Xie Lian lost his beloved. What happens when he stumbles upon a random mountain and finds his wife in such a dire state?

Everyone talks about Xie Lian in the coffin,

But what about Xie Lian during the first year of his second banishment? Xie Lian with no luck?

The first time he didn't have anything to eat for a week, the first time his house collapsed on him on a rainy night, the first time he cried out of frustration, the first time he was driven out of a village because they deemed him bad lucky but he was only trying to earn money to eat a mantou.

And then there's Hua Cheng, building a mansion for His Highness, gathering that abundance, making himself abundant.

Like it's crazy how it all worked out, these two living parallel yet everything was so connected. While Xie Lian thought he would live so badly for the rest of his life, Hua Cheng was working so hard to ensure that was not the case.

Yes, it took 800 years, but in the end, it was not over until it was all better.

Remember that post about men love differently or smth like that??? the one is which the person's dad became a shoemaker because their grandmother was buried without shoes.

ya, let's talk about mxtx men

  1. Jiang Cheng keeping wei wuxian's flute all this time. Lemme rephrase that, Jiang Cheng keeping wwx's flute POLISHED all this time. Jiang Cheng not believing wwx died and thus torturing any demonic cultivator he saw to make them confess that they are wwx? Like he just never processed his grief because in his head his silly powerful brother never died
  2. Lan Wangji raising a whole ass child???? in remembrance of wwx??? I think no one ever actually admits in the novel how loved wwx was after all yk. like dude died alone, but the grief literally painted the blue gusu white.
  3. Binghe keeping his Shizun's dead body???? i'm sorry?? Achilles and Patroculus much. next thing you know they are mingling their ashes.
  4. And talk about ashes, *cracks fingers* our very own ghost king Hua Cheng! Bro died. Not once. Not twice. THRICE. without REGRET. He can do it again but is forbidden, but can do it again without HESISTATION. it's just tuesday for him at this point. He waited 800 years. Learned about everything to every exist incase he ever became the guy who helps the main character during quests to his God. He literally killed GODS???
  5. And then last but not the least Your Highness Xie Lian. Anyone ever thought that his cultivator clothes are the only thing that he has that is left of xianle? The hat he carries aka the only love/humanity/hope he could find when was just about to give up. emphasis on FIND. because he consciously made that decision to wait. And don't get me started on Wu ming. Please don't, i'll cry. hualian is literally the embodiment of what healthy love looks like. (except the dying and torture ykiyk) the communication, the support, the sitting between hua cheng's thigh's to teach him calligraphy, the spiritual energy exchanges. i love them so much.
  6. Oh, and there's also Shi wudu ruining he xuan's life so that his brother could ascend with him.

Mom, please. Mom, let me in please. Mom. Please let me in. I don't wanna go anymore. I-I don't wanna leave please. Momโ€ฆ! I don't wanna- please! Let me in! Open the door! Mom! Mom! Open the door please! I didn't mean to cry! I'm sorry, Iโ€™m so sorry. Please let me in. I don't wanna go. I don't wanna show my face. I thought it was nicer outside. I don't wanna go. I wanna stop crying. Please open the door. Someone will hear mom. I don't know what I'd say. I didn't wanna go outside I just wanted to go home.

i wanna talk about grown up Jin Ling real quick

Like imagine he's in his early twenties and all of the cultivation world decides he needs to get married. Jiang Cheng specifically has very strong feelings on this topic.

He couldn't have a mother or a father, he at least deserves a wife. Plus, he's the third most eligible bachelor - the first being Lan Sizhui and the second being Lan Xichen for some reason (??) - so finding a wife should be easy.

Finding a wife turns out to not be easy. Apparently all women want to be Jin Ling's wife, including the matchmakers (??)

To narrow down the options, Jin Ling (with the help of his uncle) makes a list:

  • she should be soft spoken
  • should be good at cooking, especially soups
  • should be well-read
  • it does not matter whether she's from a sect or a rogue cultivator as long as she has good morals
  • must be his age

It takes 6 months to find the match. She's a very beautiful maiden and the head disciple of a small sect from the north.

Jin Ling seems unsure at first but agrees after being scolded by his uncle.

"I can not go through this again." Jiang Cheng says pinching the bridge of his nose.

"But I didn't even do anything!"

"You're just like your father! He was the same way when he was betrothed to Jiejie! Being so up in his head that he didn't know perfection as she stood right next to him!"

"Wait, A-Die didn't want to get married to A-Niang?"

"Not in the beginning, until your uncle Wei Wuxian punched him and then this other time, when your father had been an idiot and made Jiejie cry."

"WHAT???"

---------

Jin Ling turns into a puppy. Whatever his fiancee wants, she gets.

She likes to spar with him? They spar every day now. She likes the bedsheets draped a certain way? That's the only way they are draped now in all of Jinlintai. Sun keeps coming in her eyes? Jin Ling can stand the whole day with his arms over her head, using his sleeves as protection from the sun. She's a picky eater? Jin Ling will personally remove all the tomatoes from her plate.

He saw his Jiujiu shake his head one day when Jin Ling came to visit Jiang sect with his fiancee for the first time. He was removing the flower petals from her hair that the citizens had thrown at them when it happened.

He later asked his Jiujiu why he did so. In response to that Jiang Cheng had pulled out Zidian and whipped it.

He can not wait to get married.

i love soft hualian moments>>>

Hua Cheng coming home to find Xie Lian meditating under a cherry tree one quiet afternoon.

The sunlight multiplying his already divine glow by a hundred.

Not being able to stop himself, he walks closer until he is seated in front of his Gege.

But Xie Lian seems to be too deep in his meditation to notice, his back straight, eyebrows relaxed, hands positioned on his knees and his slow warm breaths.

Hua Cheng feels trapped in the dilemma of not wanting to disturb his God and wanting to be close to his husband.

Remembering their conversation last night about how he should be a little more selfish in their relationship, Hua Cheng decides to lay down on the soft green grass and place his head in his Gege's lap.

It is the most comfortable place in the world.

This moment, and this moment exactly. All of it was worth it for this moment. Hell, he would die a hundred more times just to have a chance to do this again, but he knows his Gege wouldn't allow it. In fact, he would get very sad if he ever heard Hua Cheng talking like that. He needs to be more mindful.

He had just realised that Xie Lian had decided to wear his white silk robes instead of the cotton ones when he felt a hand gently comb his hair away from his face.

"Welcome back, beloved."

i love the concept of reincarnation in the tgcf universe.

It makes me wonder how He Xuan would've reacted when his reincarnated fiancee prayed to him at the Earth Master temple, asking for fertile soils for a better harvest. She had told him that some thugs were bothering her family and she didn't have any money.

He Xuan dropped whatever he was eating and teleported next to her (she couldn't see him of course).

It is her. His dead heart was beating again, it's her!

He followed her home. Should he show himself? Would it be too much?

Just then two kids come waddling out of the hut they were heading towards saying, "Mommy!!!"

oh.

He leaves a kilogram of gold buried in her field. He has a lifetime to pay for his debt anyway.

------

Or what about when a reincarnated Hua Cheng's mother shows up at the Gambler's Den asking for protection from her husband. She bets herself.

Should Hua Cheng let her win? If she loses he'd get to keep her and provide her with everything she ever wanted. But... does she have her own Honger?

He can't separate her from her loved ones.

He bets a luxury house in the mortal realm (that he just ordered Yin Yu to make and have ready, fully furnished under 6 hours, but she doesn't need to know that of course) and loses with grace.

He cried in his Gege's lap that night.

I like to think that Hua Cheng at least cried once after seeing Xie Lian through the butterfly at the teashop.

His God that he'd had been looking for, for 800 years, looking so damn beautiful. His long brown hair, his honey-gold eyes, and his look of wonder when he spotted the butterfly.

He was safe.

Hua Cheng had failed to find him so many times. He remembered when he discovered the coffin his God had lied in, five years too late. His knees had buckled as he vomited next to it. Gripping the coffin so hard it shattered. He had failed him.

But here he was, smiling.

Hua Cheng must've cried so hard from the relief.

Most of cultivation world: Wei wuxian was horrible it's good that he's dead

Most of cultivation world: He was a grave digger! He had no morals!

Most of cultivation world: That's what you'd expect, giving so much power to a servant's child.

Lan Wangji: *takes off his forehead ribbon* Let's play pretend. You are Your Opinions About Wei Ying. And this is how I'm going to deal with you

Lan Wangji: *stabs most of cultivation world*

Alien discovers Chips

(It is the 26th century, and the humans on Earth have finally made contact with the Aliens. The aliens of the planet Roromo have always been fascinated by humans ever since they discovered the planet Earth, and thus, sent a humanologist on Earth to understand humans better.)

Alien (on his notepad): I have been assigned to a NASA rocket scientist Eliza Stark. I will be accompanying her in her day-to-day life and recording special incidents here.

What are we doing today?

Eliza: Nothing much (Eating 5 pringles at the same time while scrolling through her phone). If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them.

Alien: That's good. So, question number 1: what is this that you are... (checks notes) eating?

Eliza: Oh this? These are Pringles. They are a brand of potato chips. Do you want some?

Alien: No thank you, Roromors absorb energy from our surroundings and thus, do not need this sort of nutrition.

Eliza: Like solar panels!

Aliens: What are those?

Eliza: Solar panels are devices that help us convert sunlight into electrical energy that we can use.

Alien: You have replicated a part of our energy gaining process?!

Eliza: You can't say that since we didn't know you existed.

Alien (shocked but composes self): I see... So yes, Pringles. What benefit do you get from 'eating' them?

Eliza: It's actually considered to be an unhealthy food. But if you ask me personally, it brings me joy to eat them.

Alien: Why unhealthy? It has carbohydrates that provide humans with energy, and salt which breaks into ions which is extremely important for your brain to function.

Eliza: I get what you mean but eating it the way I am is definitely unhealthy. You see, I have finished half the box in one sitting which has satiated my hunger, but this means I've only eaten carbohydrates and salt. No protein, no roughage, no fats. For food to be considered healthy, it must have a bit of everything.

Alien: So, if you know that it is unhealthy then why did you eat it?

Eliza: As I said before, it's tasty and brings me joy.

Alien: I see.

Day 1 of living with human Eliza Stark, I learned that humans classify food into many categories. The two main categories are: healthy and unhealthy. The healthy one is called a balanced diet. But strangely, even though knowing the difference between the two, humans still eat unhealthy ones just for the zest of life. Another way of categorising food is the way it is cut. Taking an example of a potato, if it is cut trying to resemble long cuboids, they are called fries but if it is cut into thin slices, they are called chips. They are further categorised based on who made them. The chips that the human I'm assigned to was eating were made by Pringle and hence, were called Pringle's chips.

Humans are also more intelligent than we thought. Kindly check the message I sent on PM (Personal Messages) to everyone about solar panels.
