3,5/4⭐️
This is a story of two childhood friends, who were the most important person in the other’s life.
They were just two friends who dreamed of conquering the world and drink wine together at the Lake Chao, and yet sorrow and death didn’t save them.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu lived a complex friendship in a turbulent world: from childhood friends, equals I dare say, to zhougong and subordinate to generals who often argued with each other to two tired souls who didn’t have the time to recompose themselves from the sorrow that misunderstandings and miscommunication brought (or maybe it was just them who didn’t take the chance to talk open-heartedly once and for all) and found themselves too ashamed of their pride by now but still would like to reconcile to each other, even though it’s too late. Just two hearts entangled with each other that didn’t dare say what they really feel, just like if there was a wall. But this wall was built by themselves.
And then the only things remained are sorrow, regrets and melancholy.
Sun Ce’s downfall was the most heartbreaking thing to read. From a carefree youth who always smiled to a zhugong who wore a facade, even when he stayed with his most precious person (at least, as Zhou Yu said). And yet, inside of him there was still a little bit of warm for this person that came out just when he was at his limit and left only bittersweetness. This way however we got to know that his affection has never faded…it was just him who suppressed it in order to had his duty, aim and righteousness as a commander prevail.
On the other hand, Zhou Yu has ALWAYS acted thinking of Sun Ce’s well-being, even thought it meant to endure his anger or coldness and ups and downs. He cherished him and suffered so much so that he himself said “but my souls has grown already old” even ten years after Sun Ce’s death because of all the pressure, burden and knot in his heart and throat throughout all of these years. A knot that couldn’t be loosen and got his most sincere and warm words stuck into his throat. Now all of these consumed his heart and his will of living and he left this world all alone: he was the only one left behind.
Speaking of the ending, I felt like there was a hint of hope and positivity T-T. After several years of sorrows, wars, misunderstandings…there was still a hope living into the hearts of two unknown youth with a never-seen falcon and kite, THE kite, on their hands. There was no need of anything else.
However, I’m so glad they had a second chance and they were reborn in a world they could finally be at ease in and where they could sincerely enjoy and express themselves (just like Sun Ce living his youthful behavior without having to deal with wars, strategies and commanding)
They deserved it, thank you, feitian for this

Lúc Tôn Sách chết, cảm xúc của tui giống như Chu Du vậy, vì đâu nên nỗi những năm cuối đời hai người chẳng mấy khi được ở bên nhau. Buồn quá ráng đọc tới phiên ngoại kiếp sau HE mới đi ngủ được.

"Perhaps my stubborn devotion is laughable
For you, I step into the dust of the mortal world
It was you who turned away suddenly
Leaving me to wait fruitlessly
So I can only wait for our next life
A single glance contained a love of many lifetimes"
-Audio Drama Theme Song for Twin Jades of Jiangdong
I constantly think about this book... like constantly. I compare it with other tragedies, I rethink my life choices when I chose to read this book, I lose sleep thinking about it. GOD. I think this is a 5 star book. The absolute sadness and depression from this book makes me cry, I feel like this book had a lot of "what if's";
what if Sun Ce never became the commander he was born to be
what if their subordinate-superior relationship never got in the way of their friendship
what if they actually communicated
what IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE A BAD ENDING?!
Its a very bittersweet feeling every time I read this book, and I always feel like theres something missing; if only they hadn't been bound by their fate of becoming who they are... but then there would be no story
whenever i'm too happy, i go listen to the audio drama intro song, then i think about their story, then i cry, then im no longer happy :D

FEI TIAN YE XIAN. He never fails to deliver.
-Going in, I didn't know anything about Three Kingdoms, so I kinda just read it like a normal book... But i can imagine that some of the characters being OOC
Everything was amazing amazing - this left me in shock and the whole entire last chapter... holy cow! I was in goosebumps, it was so so.. amazing- i do not have words to describe the feelings i had when i was reading it.
I do wish this was a little bit longer, mostly to let us linger in the tragedy, but i do think fei tian knew actually what he was doing, so i'll read the extras and hope it heals me a little :sob:

Enjoyment of this novel will depend on how you define three things: 1) Danmei/BL 2) Romance and 3) Bad endings. I will post mine at the end in case it’s considered a spoiler. Just know this is a historical fiction novel and neither JJWXC or Novel Updates have BL tags 🫣. Also, if you love learning about history though reading this will be perfect for you! This story was fascinating to me and I loved looking up all the characters and events so it took me a little longer than normal to read.
The heart of this story is the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce from childhood till death during a very unstable time in China history. It’s beautiful and tragic but strong and reliable. Historic events and time change things of course so be prepared for your heart to break and be put back together multiple times 💔
Personally, I think you can read this not knowing anything about the time period (end of Han Dynasty, Three Kingdoms Era, Battle of Chibi/Red Cliffs, etc) but I think it will be more enjoyable if you read up on the different real life characters like Cao Cao, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, etc. Just about every character plays a significant role in Chinese history. Just remember that it will spoil you on who dies, how and who kills them
❗️Spoilers below:❗️
1)There is yearning, sadness, joy, angst, pain, sorrow, fear, love, unsaid feelings, an unwavering connection, regret, and more- all the things that come with a love story- but they do not have any romantic intimate moments, they do not ever end up together (in fact they marry sisters), and one of them dies early. Seven Seas labels this as danmei but they also initially labeled Kinnporsche as danmei and that’s Korean so…
2)I didn’t consider this to have any romance at all. There were a few hints of more than platonic feelings, some yearning, occasional flirty behavior, and an extremely sad scene with Zhao Yu and his mom when he told her he didn’t wanted to get married. I don’t need physical intimacy for something to be considered romantic but IMO still no romance.
3)As far as a BE, if you expected a couple pairing and them to end up together then yes, it’s a BE. Also, it has tragic events as it is based off of history, so there is definitely heartbreak and death. The heartbreak is more about the relationship and how it changes. I don’t consider this a BE. It’s a story with some tragic elements though.
I thought this novel did a terrific job telling a beautiful and tragic story but I don’t think it will be enjoyed by everyone- especially if you are looking for a romance forward danmei. Also, I think you really have to like history, politics, war, etc.

Fei Tian, Fei Tian, Fei Tian… ah, cómo te quiero, hombre.
Los dos jades de Jiangdong trata sobre dos hombres fuertes que deben enfrentarse a grandes batallas cuando el imperio es azotado por “traidores”. En realidad, si conocen algo sobre la historia de Los Tres Reinos en China, es fácil saber de qué va. Yo, honestamente, no sabía nada, pero básicamente es historia y política… mucha política. Aun así, el centro principal es la relación de amistad entre Sun Ce y nuestro MC, Zhou Yu, y cómo esta se va desarrollando a medida que pasan los años.
Primero los vemos conociéndose y odiándose un poco, luego volviéndose inseparables, y después afrontando duros retos que los llevan a separarse por un tiempo. La historia de estos dos se me hizo fascinante, sobre todo porque, aunque nunca hubo nada explícito, se notaba el amor que se tenían, tal vez un poco más de un lado que del otro. Admito que hubo un momento en el que pensé: “wow, Sun Ce no se merece a Zhou Yu”, pero para el final entendí que cada uno tuvo sus propias tribulaciones y que, aunque a veces no actuaron de la mejor manera, intentaron encontrar cómo afrontarlas.
Ellos dos se ganaron un espacio enorme en mi corazón. En los días que estuve leyendo esta novela, me reí con ellos, lloré con ellos y hasta recé para que todo les saliera bien, jajaja… y eso que ya tenía spoilers. El final, aunque las fans del danmei lo catalogan como Bad Ending, en realidad fue como debía ser: doloroso, pero real. Además, era algo que se veía venir conforme avanzaba la historia y, bueno, está basada en hechos reales, no hay mucho más que decir.
Al principio casi no leo los extras; menos mal que lo hice, porque de verdad fueron una curita al alma después de todo lo que tuvieron que vivir. Si les gusta la historia y las novelas bien construidas, la recomiendo totalmente. Si solo están buscando una pareja BL, entonces no la recomiendo.
