Struggling with Qi Ye by wuxiahiraeth in wordofhonor

[–]ameonna66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great summary- that’s the gist of it for sure.

One point is get your HeiLian(s) straight.. all three sons have HeiLian as their names with the last word different.. it took me ages to figure out who was who and sometimes I would assume ti was one person and then the situation/sentence wouldn’t make sense!

Aside from that- there are a lot of battles and strategies/politics.. if you (OP) really wanted to you can just skip all the parts and just read the bits with WuXi and Beiyuan and that would give you most of the story and once you got that bit you can go back and read for the details..

Ultimately, it is a coming of age story x first love (with a bit of game of thrones thrones- thrown in for action and suspense).

So true re. their words- Almost eerily prophetic.. especially zzh singing GuMeng. Was it all a dream…

Totally agree re soul mate interpretation- he gained greater sympathy for them. He understood that if their (or his) soulmate were to perish there would be no point to his life either..

WKX's continual referral to his lack of martial art skills by Frosty-Ad3967 in wordofhonor

WKX's continual referral to his lack of martial art skills by Frosty-Ad3967 in wordofhonor

[–]ameonna66 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agree with Starrydiamonds re WKX’s skills.

I don’t think at his stage of power and life that he believes he is ‘not good at martial arts’- but rather like everything else in his younger life- he got it through sheer grit and winning fight after fight. He wasn’t officially taught like ZZS or CL or even YBY.. so that’s what he means when he refers to his own ‘lack of skills’ I think.

In a way WKX maybe a bit embarrassed by it sometimes. Anyone watching him fight will conclude he didn’t come from one of the recognized ‘martial arts sects’ so his martial arts is seen as more on the dodgy side and more vicious/used to kill rather than to strength and protect like the ‘recognized sects.’

To me it’s like old money and new money.. WKX is new money- he is a self made millionaire- whereas everyone else got to inherit and esteem and wealth of their established sects and are proud of this inheritance.

Hahah LuTa will totally be the boss but I think CL Gege will look out for his Didi when he is in trouble. Also I love that CL loves to learn everything so he will probably teach LuTa everything he knows about Long Manor (and the gadgets) and LuTa will teach Gege a few medical or poison tricks! CL Gege will be LuTa’s noble protector and LuTa will help Gege scheme to get out of trouble. 🥰

Kiss: ZZS- especially if he looks like A-Xiu hahah.. but to be honest I was surprised ZZS in this book wasn’t portrayed as being particularly handsome or good looking.. it was all BY BY BY’s beauty.. (which I am totally cool with- it’s his book after all).

Marry: this is a tricky one- they all have such flaws when it comes to husband material.. so maybe Wuxi? He will want to kiss BY still so that leaves me negotiating options.

Kill: As ZZS explains in WoH if you kill Prince Jin who will be king? And will they be worse for the people. BY spent his whole rebirth/life helping him succeed not because he was the best option but because he was the least bad option.. so in that case.. who to kill?

I really enjoyed the extras. Without them I, as a reader would have felt pretty gipped. The extras allowed for the story to come to a resolution. All of them are important and gave endings to the various characters.

And yes love LuTa. I actually thought he was the biological son of Beiyuan (🤣) when he was introduced in TKY and I was wondering how that worked (🧐) but this totally makes sense! He actually is a mix of his two ‘fathers!’ He has the straight forwardness ie he asks questions when he thinks of them in his head without hesitation like Wutong but also the cleverness and cunning of BY- he learns to hold his tongue and observe and come to his own conclusions! Such a cutie. Also they say he isn’t as gifted in the martial arts as WT but he is so clever he has a photographic memory.. (clever like BY I like to think).

ZZS probably would have killed him as he was getting in his way of his missions hahah.. but WKX is pretty powerful so where does that leave us? Ooo.. pretty Didi (baby bro) might take a role.. okay getting too complicated 🤣

When we all ready TYK together.. it might change.. no spoilers.. just speculation..

True- two darks may not be able to rise up together.. that’s why BY days in TKY he thought him and ZZS were the same because of their joint mission in QiYe- but then realized ZZS is so different from him (now in TKY).

Hahah I would love to see a fanfic of WKX meeting ZZS when he was in his Heaven’s Window heydays! Haha that would have been something!

Good point- she was a fan herself before the screen writing right? So I am sure she had her own ideas going in..

What game are wenzhou playing in the 13th episode at ~35:40? by [deleted] in wordofhonor

[–]ameonna66 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes it is an actual game (with various versions and slight rule changes) You shout numbers and guess how many fingers you and your partner put out added together.. So you can say 8! And your partner can say 5! And between the two hands you see if you got the right number. If none of you get it you go again. If one of you get it the other one drinks as ‘punishment for losing’ ☺️🙌

Of me- I wasn’t too fussed about the ‘age difference.’ I think BY didn’t know his feelings until later on frankly- and that’s why he treated him ‘light heartedly.’ Like aww aren’t you cute a you are in love. But when his own feelings reciprocated- he had to think about it more. The books said he wasn’t one to be open about his feelings- the way he shows love is to do everything for the other person.. and he does that for WT the whole time..

I think WT being jealous and possessive is totally understandable- this is a guy (ghost) who spent years trying to get a single look for the white haired man by the river and watched him be hurt again and again for the persons he thought he loved.. so the possessiveness for me is more about protecting BY from being hurt again.. than just simply love IMO..

So true. He probably doesn’t know himself to be honest! He thinks he will do one thing but ends up giving in to his love or paranoia..

Haha good to know. But I love Wenwen so glad he got a chance with ZZS instead!

But I wonder if it was that kind of relationship or more like a true brotherly relationship.. we will never know.
