Status Updates From Ballad of Sword and Wine: Q...

So what I'm getting from this is that Lanzhou took after his mother and she and the resources she had built over time were what stood between an invasion.

The idea of xiao chiye refusing to have lanzhou's name engraved in his arm guards because he couldn't bare to hurt any part of lanzhou, even if it is by name. He loves this man so much. SO MUCH. "He wanted a good omen—he wanted Shen Zechuan to live a ripe old age." IM GOING TO CRY THEIR LOVE HAS BECOME SO BEAUTIFUL.

cezhou everytime they get a moment alone together: i would like for us to flirt while bathing 🥰

LANZHOU CALLED CE'AN HIS HUSBAND IM CNDNDJDBDHDGD

not shen zechuan traumatizing ding tao noooooo

happy days are over 😭

LANZHOU SAID I LOVE YOU AHHHHHH

LETS GO LESBIANS

xiao chiye, the baby of the family 🥺🥺 his relationship with his family is so beautiful. i love how accepting his family is of his relationship to shen zechuan ahhhhh

AHHHHHHHH lanzhou is about to meet the brother in law!!! also can i just say how perfectly woven the politics is with the romance??? IT IS SO GOOD. most books have to deal with romance as a side plot and vice versa but qjj has made the perfect balance.

very typical of xiao chiye to come out to his dad by proclaiming his wife is the best looking man in great Zhou and then sprinting away from his dad lmao
