Tempted to change the danmei in my name to bl (shout out to all the manhwa I read)
With 3 volumes now making the trend official, I can say I love the dedication of the QJJ English official release so far to end every volume on Cezhou fucking. True commitment to the bit.
Judas kiss
I did not expect to read about a man getting beaten with a shoe in literally the third chapter of Vol 3 of Qjj.
Put Pan Lin on the list of side characters I will remember.
EXCUSE ME!?!??!!?!?!? I'M NOT EVEN THREE PAGES IN?!?!?!!?
I love the ways in which mo ran will try to explain away caring for chu wanning
He's like "well I don't hate him now....so this is fine. But it's totally not because I like him"
Reminiscing about 2ha again after seeing a post about it and remembered that Chu Wanning canonically thought he was ugly, which obviously isn’t true, but I kind of see why he would think that.
He was made in the image of a dead person, someone who wasn’t meant to be alive. I’d genuinely start hating my own reflection too if the person who stared back at me the mirror was a memento to a dead person. That face, that was stiff and cold like a corpse, that was unfeeling in every way possible.
I imagine it was like uncanny valley for him that he hadn’t noticed until everything was revealed to him. How everything about himself was a little too perfect, a little too idealised, and that made him ugly, because he wasn’t even human anymore.
edit: nooo i made a typo in Luo Binghe's name. pls forgive me
the way i see you
Qjj volume 3 is out tomorrow!
Very important questions I need answers to:
- Will this be the third time a volume ends with Cezhou banging?
- Will Shen Lanzhou get even kinkier than calling Xiao Chiye daddy and giving him a foot job at a work function?
- Will I finally get a grasp on who people are that aren’t Cezhou?
- (Most important of all) Will the eunuchs still be eunuching?
1 and 4 confirmed by interior illustrations. Just waiting on plot confirmation for 2. 3 continues to be up for debate.
Qjj vol 3 reactions with no context:
- Looks like we’re about to enter our angst era and I am so here for it!!! I’m feeling like there could be some significant deaths on the horizon.
- I knew the eunuchs would be eunuching again!
- Just Xiao Chiye manifesting his life to actually be a romance. He wants comedy. I think he’ll get drama.
Qjj Interior Illustrations vol 3
It’s officially a pattern:
End of vol 1:
End of vol 2:
End of vol 3:
may all the people who see this finish their current wip this year

Apparently 2025 is going to be the year of me writing overly long self indulgent meta and I’m kinda here for it.
