When Zhang Qiling (play by Cheng Yi in "The lost Tomb 2") and Wu Xie (play by Joseph Zeng in "Ultimate note") are reunited in a same drama ( Mysterious lotus casebook)

Ps: "The lost tomb 2" and "Ultimate note" are from the same book "Daomu Biji" ( Grave robbers chronicle).

And Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie are one the most famous ship in China.

@gaywatch With all the chinese dramas you have watched and the ones to come, you will eventually know all the actors from all the Lost Tomb/Ultimate Note adaptations.

Here the ones that you know as of right now from

You know him from "Mysterious lotus casebook" play Zhang Qiling aka Xiaoge in "lost tomb 2"

And if you end up watching "Spirealm" in the future you will know one more actor who plays Zhang Qiling aka Xiaoge in "Reunion sound of Providence "

Ps: Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling are one of the many reasons why this series of books/dramas is so loved. Their ship is just incredible in every adaptation.

Have a good day <3

right, so some of y'all asked me to share my slides from the presentation i did on dmbj at my friends' powerpoint night, and so i finally got around to posting some of it. notes before we begin:

i cut out the most spoiler-heavy slides, just in case. these were mainly the ones explaining in-depth plot as well as worldbuilding history

the target audience for this presentation was my cluster of friends who signed up to listen to me infodump about something with no intention of watching the source material. if you are someone looking to get into dmbj but aren't sure how to go about it, this may not actually be helpful. you have been advised

ok, go!

Intermission: if you'd like to learn more about Xiao Hua and Hei Xiazi, please refer to this presentation by Ao3 user Ilgaksu

Bonus: my transition slides in between explaining the main series and Sha Hai novel plots

(for the record, the Sha Hai part of the presentation took up five whole slides)

Just discovered the 盗墓笔记 Graverobbers Chronicles (Dàomù bǐjì) and now I'm obsessed, both with the tv series (accidentally skipped around 2 prequels and now I'm figuring it out as I watch Ultimate Note) and now the books.

At the time of writing this, I am on episode 15/37 and dear God. The amount of craziness and plot twists is just the perfect amount to keep me entertained.

The books are in Chinese so it'll be a good reading practise as reading news articles and graded readers can get repetitive sometimes. Literary Chinese is quite different from the usual textbook or daily Chinese, so this is definitely an interesting challenge.

Here's the link to the site, it's one of the best sites for Chinese novels that I've seen to date and I highly recommend it.
