rest now, dear heart

Wei Wuxian:  Sometimes people ask “what do you think you’re doing”. But that just means stop. They didn’t actually want to know my thought process.

Jiang Cheng: I’ll keep my emotions right here and then one day I’ll die.

Wen Ning: My vibe is like, hey you could probably pour soup in my lap and I’ll apologize to you.

Wen Qing: Something happened here. You hope it’s a miracle, but probably not.

Jiang Yanli: I try to stay optimistic even though I’ll admit, things are getting pretty sticky.

Xue Yang: You want me to kill that guy for you? Cause I will totally kill that guy for you.

Ah-Qing: I am very small and I have no money so you can imagine the kind of stress I am under.

Jin Zixuan: My dad loved us. He just didn’t care about our general happiness or self-esteem.

Jin Guangyao: And then I said “No”, you know, like a liar.

Nie Mingjue: You have the moral backbone of a chocolate éclair.

The grand finale of the show was the reveal of her reconstructed face. Now, bare in mind that through their investigations they discovered that she had lived an awful life and died an agonizing death (syphilis iirc). So, you can imagine my disgust when the historians reacted with disappointment at the reveal of her ‘face’. This poor girl, who had suffered terribly, was obviously not the poor, tragic beauty they had been hoping for.

She was plain, maybe some would say she was ugly, but what was truly hideous was the fact that you could practically see the sympathy these historians had for this poor girl slip away as they looked at her ‘face’, and you could certainly hear it in their voices.
