The First Jasmine (dir. Lam Yuk Fan, Leung Sing Kuen)
I’m really liking that Mo Xiuyao knows Ye Li isn’t of sound mind and doesn’t really care. It’s just another thing among all of his descriptions of her.
“Yeah, no big deal, she regularly sits in empty rooms and chats to someone who isn’t there. Just one of those things about my quirky wife, like the alcohol and the jogging. What an odd duck.”
I’m cautiously excited about their dynamic, though I do see some sadness on the horizon. Obviously she wouldn’t be hallucinating a young servant as her comfort and constant companion unless something very very bad happened at the age the servant was when she died. And since the servant she has now was Qingshuang’s counterpart before at the Ye mansion and is very obviously an adult woman, the timeline has to be a matter of years.
The First Jasmine (dir. Lam Yuk Fan, Leung Sing Kuen)
Episode 7 has been my favourite so far.
There have been hints that we've seen so far that something is not right with Ye Li. The bit with the monkeys at in the first episode, the girl that only Ye Li can see (whom at first I thought might be a ghost but now I am thinking it's just an hallucination), and the fact that no one seems to have communicated with anyone on the mountain except for Ye Li. Basically, WTF happened on that mountain?!?!
It's definitely the first time that Mo Xiuyao realizes that is something very wrong with Ye Li, despite her sunny disposition. When she runs to him, he hugs her back with almost no hesitation. He does not question her but has the mansion searched twice for her, and then has guards stay on high alert for her. He stays with her when she asks so she can sleep. He gets rid of all the monkey handlers in the city, just so she won't be afraid and he compensates them well enough that they are okay with leaving. He's basically already in love with her.
More importantly, it shows that he's going to help her slay her demons, just as she's already started to help him.
I suspect one of the reasons he may not have tried to get more treatment on his leg is because he is punishing himself. I am curious when she does start treating his leg, will he hide his recovery from everyone else to have a dramatic standing up from his wheelchair moment?

People in FL's family that I like:
Baby cousin
Clearly underestimated by his family for being a kid, but smart enough to realize that they're treating her like shit and to decide to help her out regardless of what they say.
Third uncle
I can already tell that this is the shit little brother of the three and I can't wait to see what headaches he is going to cause for his spineless older brothers.
Grandma
Came in, made everyone uncomfortable in about thirty seconds, and was promptly silenced. Bring her back. I'm sure she could make the situation even more uncomfortable given the opportunity.
People in FL's family that I don't like: everybody else.
And another thing about point of view in this story is who tells us which parts of the events that happened in the past. Because when Ye Li tells us about their first meeting, she tells us about Mo Xiuyao saving her from the bandits. But when Mo Xiuyao tells us about their first meeting, he tells us about the pastries and how they saved his life. And I think its interesting how they both see each other as saviors. Even in the present, Ye Li says that Mo Xiuyao saved her from Lishan, and Mo Xiuyao shows us how Ye Li is saving him from his own darkness.
Our marriage is like withered lotuses beside dead willows and dying grass under winter crows. A perfect match.
honestly this is vintage cheng lei, too. broody and moody and taking a bath.
is nature healing???
I'll make our marriage work.

Authors, agents, publishers: every part of the industry is seeing the strain of five years of escalating anti-LGBTQ censorship.
if you'd like to show support, here are some upcoming queer books:
When Life Gives You Corpses is a brilliant YA about a cursed praying mantis who falls for a young witch. Yield Under Great Persuasion is a raunchy, but surprisingly sweet story about two men repairing their relationship. Fabulous Bodies is a horror story about a queer rockstar rising from the dead.
This is Where the Future Bleeds is a fantasy set in a vividly imagined land, where two women (who happen to kiss) are the key to healing the broken sky. You're No Better is a story about a teen struggling in the shadow of his murderous parent. Oil on Canvas is about a woman who finds disturbing paintings in the home of her dead mother.
and then here's a list of 26 queer books by Black authors set to publish this year, and a 10 upcoming books by trans authors. if you want to fight back against queer censorship, use your wallet! or (if that's not an option) you can contact your local library and ask them to stock a copy.
In addition: looking for indie publishers and queer bookshops is a great way to find and support queer authors and stories of so many infinite varieties! (The following suggestions are based on my UK-centric knowledge)
(Some) Queer Presses:
Lurid Editions are "a publishing project committed to intentional and conscientious acts of archival repair". They are "attentive to how marginalised histories are forgotten and remembered, [and] hungry to rediscover overlooked queer books". They've just received funding from Arts Council England to engage queer readers in a project to contribute to the archive!
Cipher Press "We’re really keen on the idea that queer and minority stories are for everybody, and we want to make our books – and the stories they tell - accessible to all" (what an amazing mission statement!)
Anamot Press "Anamot [Անամոթ] means shameless in Armenian. Anamot Press publishes poetry and prose on intersecting experiences of gender, sexuality, race, migration, class, belonging and loss - with no shame."
(Some) Queer Bookshops
Queer Lit Oh man, I remember when this was just a tiny little shop, and now they're the biggest LGBT+ bookshop in Europe! They do amazing work in donating books about being trans to schools and parliament! They have a pay-it-forward board that will make you sob with its notes of love and support. (You can tell I wish I still lived nearby)
Lighthouse For Scottish friends - "a queer-owned and woman led independent community bookshop. We are an unapologetically activist, intersectional, feminist, antiracist, lgbtq+ community space"
Gay's The Word The OG Queer bookshop in the UK. One day I will make my pilgrimage!!
This really is just a tiny snapshot of all the amazing work of celebration and resistance that's being done for Queer literature at the moment. We live in frightening times, but I promise there is still lots of love and joy and hope out there in spaces like these. Support them in whatever way you can!!
The First Jasmine is red
Finished the first four episodes of The First Jasmine and it's good so fair.
I LOVE Ye Yi so far. She's all light and sunshine, determined to bring Mo Xiuyao out of darkness. Yet she coldly and ruthlessly killed man by setting him on fire, all without getting hands dirty or being there and with a smile on her face.
Mo Xiuayo is suitably tortured. I can't imagine that he'll remain in a wheelchair for the entire show.
I don't mind that they met briefly in the past (though I am a tiny bit confused why Bai Lu would need a younger actress to play her while Cheng Li didn't since i don't think she's supposed to be THAT much younger than him).
I like the dual perspectives, even if they don't keep it up for the whole show.
The young Emperor is annoying.
Cheng Lei + bath scene.
All is right in cdramaland again.
listen i may take 4 weeks to write a 3k word chapter, and i may take 45 minutes to decide whether i should use “laugh” or “chuckle”, but at least i don’t use ai and whatever you’re getting is pure chaos from a human brain
