for nature's so and rain's a part of how life goes

i love the princess's immediate response to finding out that xie zheng has gotten hitched to some country butcher girl is THIS IS FRAUD. xie zheng has deFRAUDed (and probably definitely and most importantly deFLOWERed) this poor girl who don't know nothing about the scheming philandering ways of noblemen, even though this specific nobleman has never philandered a second in his life ever.

something i'm enjoying in the early eps of pursuit of jade is yan zheng in the upper rooms, looking like a beautiful attic wife. pushing out the window shutters, gazing down below at changyu and her life and being so So normal. he's resting up and healing and immediately marrying himself into the family the first chance he gets. he's just an ordinary (bloody, battered) guy she found in the woods. who absolutely will stab and torture anyone at the slightest inclination that they'll make trouble for the fan family. no crazy eyes here. he's just puttering around the house in long draping robes, blood splattered and gently folorn looking. an utterly normal average guy
