That list might say things like “Paint a picture. Go birdwatching. Finish that great novel I started reading. Call my grandma. Learn to bake a cake. Visit my sister. Play piano.”

Conditions you used to be able to tolerate can now be the condition that pushes you over the edge. A heat and humidity you could tolerate will now make you pass out if you’re in it too long.

You need to be constantly aware of how much water you’ve had, how much food you’ve had (you WILL need to eat or your body will destroy itself in heat), and you need to try and find a way to cook yourself off periodically.

I’m sorry for everyone new to experiencing these levels of heat. It’s not just frustrating, it can be lethal.

I know it can cause long lasting internal damage, even if minor, which can lead to you being further intolerant to the heat.

During the summer of 1998, the Missouri Department of Health attributed 12 deaths to high temperatures, and the state’s heat surveillance system recorded 470 heat-related illnesses: the average age among decedents was 65.6 years (range: 4–92 years; median 73.5 years); seven (58%) decedents were female (Centers for Disease Control, 1999) (LOE 3a). Contributing to heat-related illness were alcohol consumption (resulting in dehydration), previous heatstroke, physical activity (e.g., exertion during work or recreation), and the use of medications that interfere with the body’s heat regulatory system, such as neuroleptics (antipsychotics or major tranquilizers) and medications with anticholinergic effects (e.g., tricyclic antidepressants, antihistamines, some antiparkinsonian agents, and some over-the-counter sleeping pills.

言正. No radicals - his name cannot be split apart anymore. He cannot be "broken down" anymore than to Yan Zheng.

Thinking about how Changyu found him and treated him like just a man on the brink of death. Just a man. When was the last time when he was treated like just a person and not a weapon of war, a sword of the state to be wielded? When his parents were alive.

When given the choice to introduce himself to a stranger who knows none of his backstory (the good, bad, scary) that's what he chose. He chose to start from as close to zero as he could get.

Was it out of survival initially? Yes! But after things changed where it would have objectively benefitted him to be the Marquis (money, the politics with the Magistrate) he still maintained the identity of Yan Zheng - just a man, just a matrilocal husband.

It hurts when Changyu calls him by his titles (one because it's Changyu doing it) because there's no one else that he can feel human with except her. It feels like she's rejecting not just Xie Zheng the marquis but Yan Zheng the human.
