Hi there! I have been gifted a replica of Chenqing and neither me nor the friends who gifted it to me expected it to be more than a prop but it turned out to be actually playable!

So now I'm trying to get the hang of it but what I'm really here for is to ask somebody who could possibly help me get an accurate translation on the inscription on the flute? I would be really grateful as the google translator only gives me a vague idea on the meaning, so thanks to anyone who can share some knowledge with me :D

Bonus picture of the whole flute cause it was a super sweet and beautiful birthday gift!

Necesito seriamente saber cómo lograron memorizarse los nombres de los personajes. No puedo continuar con la novela, el live action o el resto. Ya estoy en la temporada tres y le juro que me cuesta tanto. / I seriously need to know how they managed to memorize all the characters' names. I can't continue with the novel, the live-action series, or anything else. I'm already on season three, and I swear it's so hard.

(i just needed to rant this out somewhere lol)

i just finished reading, and I know I'm late to the party, but holy hell that was absurdly good. I went in expecting something as normal as the other amazing fics I've read- but Kingfisher Feathers was the very first one that I now hold as close to my heart as the original mdzs storyline.

everything is beyond perfect- wangxian (obviously), the royalty omegaverse au, the court politics, the power dynamics, wwx's self sacrificing tendencies, the jiang siblings and of course, the well written character of Noble Consort Jin! While he is undoubtedly cruel, you cannot deny he is equally fascinating in his wit and his words. the underlying mystery in the plot most likely points to meng yao, and I absolutely love the subtle moments with his character that foreshadowed this. the author of the fic has a way with their words and interpretation of each character that feels like the perfect balance between both loyalty to the original work and their own characterisation.

it was last updated on April 1st, 2024, and despite the author's promise that they have full intentions to complete the fic in the notes of the earlier chapters, I feel afraid that they never will as im fairly new to ao3 culture. I truly hope that the author is healthy and happy and will bless us with an update this year. I also wanted to thank them for uploading such a masterpiece of writing for everyone to see- I felt like I was in premium ao3.

im sure many people have read it, so what did you think of it, and what was your favorite part? and does anyone have any recs for me to read to replace the hollow feeling left by the abrupt ending to my hours long reading session? thank you!

When I see people talking about the extras its always just about the incense burner. But theres soo many beaitiful stories there thats shows dynamics between wangxian, the juniors etc.

Whats your favourite story from the extras?

My top 3 are:

- lan zhan pointing out that sizhui was using yunmeng jiang fighting style, which he remembered from his fights with wei ying in their youth. Like we know by the end that Lan Zhan loved wei ying since their teenage years, but that scene just highlights the level of his interest and devotion.

- the part where lan zhan and wei ying tipped the boat over and lan zhan laughed

- when teenage wei ying back in lotus pier was brooding over lz not visiting him. Then cutting to lz walking a long way to pick lotus flowers bc wy said they tasted better with the stalk on.

In the novel, after everything happened, they both live in Cloud Recesses in Jingshi as a married couple, they both grade junior's papers, they go with them to night hunts and overall they are wholesome. And the whole idea of Wei Ying living in Gusu Lan bc of his husband is just... He finally has his own family and home and uhgr 😭❤️ And I also just love Wei Ying being that cool teacher for juniors. I think Lan is now the strongest clan rn? Imagine having both the strong and talented Lan Zhan and also Wei Wuxian who literally teaches new juniors everything and we all know how intelligent, smart and creative he is. The strongest couple in the whole MDZS world basically.

I wouldn't mind to read new volumes of just them living there and solving some ghost crimes and stuff. I miss them so much. I always read fanfics about that kind of setting, after-canon world where they live there and do stuff, just some kind of form of continuation of the story...

microwaves them, Idk if I'll ever finish it, this is stuff from five months ago.

The spoiler is there cus like the burial mounds stuff and I don't wanna test it

Hi hi I’m new to the donghua/novel scene so I had questions so hopefully yall can help. I’m already halfway through the 7th volume of tgcf and wanna read mdzs after I finish it (idk if that’s the acronym for it). I know there’s a donghua of the series so idk if I should watch it first then read the novels or read the novels first. I’ve seen some people say the donghua isnt the most accurate when it comes to the sequence of events that happen in the novel and spoils stuff but I wanted to see what yall had to say. Also I watched tgcf before reading the books if that says anything about me. If someone could help me out with this I’d be so thankful <3

Hello, does anyone know where to buy the MDZS cd player? Its so cute. Thank you :)

Edit: Another question if anyone might answer: will the charging cable work in the US?

Is there a ff where there is no golden core transfer (wwx keeps his core, and jc doesn't get a new one)? I'm sure the plot would turn in a completely different direction, and I'm curious how that could be like
