I finished reading a danmei today and I come back here for QiYan....
If you can't handle heavy and REALISTIC politics that actually takes time to develop throughout the story and isn't spoonfed and explained to you from the beginning then Qiang Jin Jiu isn't for you, stick to lighter and easy to digest fantasy stories because you actually have to use your brain to read this story and by politics i mean all sorts like imperial court politics, bureaucracy and military stuff, even a whole lot about distribution and calculation of grains, rebuilding and seizing territories, struggling for the throne and bringing corrupt officials and nobles to justice and so much more. Aside from politics there's also a lot of action, bloodshed and war happening, the best written action I've seen in danmei. If you actually pay attention to what's happening and the dialogues then it shouldn't take too long to get a hold on the plot. Qiang Jin Jiu is a masterfully crafted story with a poetic writing style and it's known for how good and deep it's plot and world building is and it has one of the most powerful couples in danmei. It's not for impatient people who aren't willing to be confused. Frankly no, this manhua adaption doesn't do this novel justice, no adaption can do what Tang Jiuqing's words can. The best way to enjoy this story is by reading the complete fan translation all together, the english fan translation(links already posted in my comment below) is imo way better than the official one because it actually explains every cultural context and reference in depth and with images, and if you can read chinese then you won. I would give anything to read this story again for the first time, hands down the best danmei.
i couldn't stop thinking abt the snickers ads help
rereading and man...yuan 14's death still hits me like a truck like I'm literally in tears rn, his brothers reaction to his death and how he knew telepathically immediately that he was no more.... crushed my heart. and I also dislike qingshan for the absolute DOGSHIT decisions he made before getting his shit together even tho it was kinda late, the damage had been done. the conflicts and angst in this manhua is just so raw and realistic, the characters don't feel fictional, they feel real and human. and don't get me started with anatoly, his mother and sisters story.... i REALLY wish we could see more of him having a good life with qiming
can this author cook another bl masterpiece...im starved
i get jigu fr neu is such a babygirl RAIL THAT TWINK JIGU
i might just read the novel atp but the site has so many ads...
bro is dead guys, i think it's time to give up...(go read i can see your stats, at least that one returned)
no wonder yeowoon is the way he is, blud completely missed the point of a dating sim
local man tries a dating sim for the first time and ends up losing his sanity over it
people saying yeonwu is a 'sweet heart' and whatnot, and he goes and kisses a person while they're UNCONSCIOUS and DEFENSELESS? yeah if i was in taehwan's position, i wouldn't wanna see his mug again too. fine, call taehwan an asshole all you want but why do people not hold ukes responsible for their weird ass behavior and instead act like they're always the victims?
man everyone else can fuck off, albis I'll treat you better
that bitch vercion is still here? he was the reason i stopped reading this but i thought perhaps things will get better and he'd fuck off sooner or later and sunwon and albis will be together in peace. if not then nope, him being involved in a poly situation with sunwon and albis is the biggest NOPE, like ew...his irritating ass gets on my last nerve
Relate to leewon tbh, it's so suffocating when people suddenly expect you to give a fuck about someone who was barely present in your life to begin with just because you're related by blood
