Poor Xiao Mei. To have no family, no one who truly cares, no love, I can't even begin to imagine how would feel. This is when Liu Xun gets his first taste of power, and power can be like a drug, once you have a taste of it, you just want more. Its obvious Yun Ge still cares for Meng Jue, if not why all that avoidance? After all, he was her proper ( Read more... )

I had intended to post this last night, but I was so tired I just went to bed. Sorry for the one day delay. Ling Ge Ge just breaks my heart, he is an Emperor, but was without much authority, riches, without love, without a true friend. At least 4th prince had 13th prince. Liu Fu Ling had no one.

Update: CHAPTER COMPLETE.

Besides Liu Fu Ling, my favourite character is Liu He. He is so ridiculously over the top but yet still human, and not just a caricature. Liu He's backstory is revealed here and a lost long childhood connection dug up. Huo Cheng Jun starts to craftily make her way into the palace.

Liu Fu Ling is such a cute boy with an apricot I really can't wait to ( Read more... )

For some reason, I was always drawn to this chapter. During re-readings of YZG, I'll always skip others to read this. Huo Cheng Jun's fate is certainly pitiful and Meng Jue did lead her on but in the end, stepping across the 'evil' line was always her choice. This was Meng Jue stepping way out of line and Yun Ge shouldn't have sworn to it, placing ( Read more... )

After taking a day off to catch up with Gaksitaaaaal, I'm back! This is a sweet, short interlude, the whole chapter completely and utterly devoted to Ling Ge Ge and Yun Ge as the readers get a peek into their interactions now that Yun Ge clearly knows that her heart lies with him and that barrier that she intentionally placed in between them is ( Read more... )

This chapter is as exciting as the last, maybe even more as we see what the Huos have got planned for Yun Ge. It is also as long as the previous chapter, so I've learned my lesson and will split it into two should it get too long.

Update: CHAPTER COMPLETE. War is war, and that was how they operated. No winners, only losers and sufferers. This was ( Read more... )

Update: CHAPTER COMPLETE!

Livejournal refused to let me post it together with the rest of it because they said it was too long so I've had no choice but to separate this chapter. At 10,892 words, it is no wonder my post was rejected for being too long.

Realize that in every book, Tong Hua will add an exciting banquet scene with people from other ( Read more... )

This chapter is the nail-biting kind of exciting, with duels all around and hundreds of spectators watching. Readers get a glimpse of Liu Bing Yi finally standing up, taking the limelight and commanding respect. It is very interesting how the foreshadowing works here in this passage, with Liu Bing Yi and Liu Fu Ling on the highest point, ( Read more... )

And heave, ho here we go! The exciting set up for the dragon slide fall begins. It's a very short chapter so I'll try to post updates throughout the day as and when I'm done with a part. Should be done before I need to leave for dinner, methinks.Yessss, finished this with time to spare. I need a bath.

Everyone should be shitting bricks for Yun Ge ( Read more... )

This chapter sets us up for the next three chapters, as the players slowly move into position, ready for war. The following passage shows that Shang Guan Xiao Mei isn't stupid, there's this underlying meaning to her words. She knows who that 'beautiful flower' is, and at this time, her emotions are all jumbled up. She wants to be loved, but she has ( Read more... )
