@15_centimeters Thank your for your insight. I also understand where you come from. I’m glad to have found someone in you who loves those well-written books just as much as I do, even though they generally aren't as well-received.

[Aurelia @Cezhouified]

@15_centimeters Now that this misunderstanding has been cleared up, let me follow your advice and—out of respect—draw a line when it comes to actual gay men. I didn't mean to be insensitive.

[Aurelia @Cezhouified]

@15_centimeters That’s not what I meant; sorry, I find it difficult to express myself well in English. I am aware that some gay men have preferences. My point was simply that one cannot attribute specific personality traits to preferences. +

[Aurelia @Cezhouified]

@15_centimeters concepts that have absolutely nothing to do with real gay men.

[Aurelia @Cezhouified]

@15_centimeters They project patriarchal stereotypes onto the *gong* (expected to embody "masculinity") and the *shou* (acting as a stand-in for the woman).

Fundamentally speaking, I think QJJ is one of the best written novel I've ever read in my life. I think it's of epic proportions.

The plot, politics, cast of characters, moral ambiguities, realities of war, intense love & just...life in its entirety.

Just incredible work!

#无妄 #danmei
QJJ author (Tang Jiuqing) has a new historical fantasy novel. I’ve only gone through the title, synopsis, and character names so far, but they’re already rich with symbolism and layered meanings. Btw shou’s name is CHA QUE, NOT Sha Que.

The title and the charas names immediately caught my attention, so naturally… I ended up analyzing them😭 Everything below is just PERSONAL interpretation.

One thing I immediately noticed about Tang Jiuqing’s new novel is how much meaning is packed into the title and the characters names. Even before reading, it already feels like every choice was made with intention.

➽ 无妄 (Wúwàng) is an incredibly layered title.
① In the I Ching, 无妄 is the 25th hexagram. It is often translated as “Innocence” or “The Unexpected”. At its core, it refers to “things that happen without deliberate intention, events brought by fate rather than choice, and actions without hidden motives”. This seems to reflect Mi Jin’s side of the story. He offers the severed heads of his father, master, and brother in exchange for power. But the title immediately raises a question: was this pure ambition, or was he someone trapped by circumstances with no other path left? Is he simply a ‘monster’, or someone whose fate pushed him to become one?

② In Buddhism, 无妄 can also refer to “seeing reality without delusion, to understand things as they truly are instead of through desire, attachment, or personal bias”. This feels closely tied to Cha Que. He enters the country with an unquestionably ‘righteous mission’, to execute that ‘traitor’. Yet as the truth unfolds, the line between justice and misunderstanding becomes increasingly blurred. The title quietly challenges the certainty of his convictions.

③ There’s also the literary expression 无妄之灾, meaning “an undeserved calamity, misfortune that befalls someone through no fault of their own”. This interpretation reflects the relationship between Mi Jin and Cha Que. Two people who should have remained enemies become entangled in a love neither intended nor chose. Their feelings becomes a form of 无妄之灾, “an undeserved calamity” that neither of them planned nor wished for. Love that come without invitation, without reason, without either of them willing it. Yet it is this very “disaster” that slowly brings down the emotional walls both of them.

Perhaps that’s exactly why the novel’s tagline is:
“你是真相，还是祸变？”
“Are you the incarnation of truth, or the personification of disaster?”

So, in a story titled 无妄, truth and calamity are never completely separate.

lanzhou's yearning drives me insane. lanzhou: I can't sleep when you're not holding me, the medicine is too bitter without you, I can't eat without you. And his letter "Er-lang, if we win this battle we will never part again. Not for a second, not for a moment." LIKE CMON

@15_centimeters Thank you very much, that sounds good. I'm curious to see what happens next!

@15_centimeters He was convinced that she would have defeated Lanzhou had she possessed more experience in governance.

[Aurelia @Cezhouified]

@15_centimeters Xue Xiuzhuo had hesitated for only a single moment regarding his nephew, as a flicker of something akin to a father figure's love had stirred within him. Yet, he was certainly proud of Li Jianting. She was no puppet; he acknowledged her competence.
