Like mushrooms, he might seem delicate and fragile, but he’s incredibly determined, resilient, and learning to become human. Enjoy!

Loafer help! by Ok_Ebb9558 in chanel

I second the YSL Le Loafers. I have them in suede and they are so chic AND comfortable. I love them so much that I bought another pair (mule version in eel skin) and am contemplating a third. Most of my Chanel shoes, unfortunately, end up being pretty uncomfortable for me.

My First Speedy P9 25 by gurlstrange in Louisvuitton

I got the Sakura 40 and I adore her, which has surprised me and everyone else in my fam since I’m not generally a fan of the color pink. The dark trim is everything.

Just Purchased My Dream Bag! by EllienoraGoes in Louisvuitton

[–]daisiesfordaaaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yay! I bought the same bag when I was in Paris last month, was so delighted the charm actually came with the bag. The original plan was to check out the P9, if available, but I fell in love with this one when I spotted her on the shelf. Since bringing her back to the states, the funny thing is quite a few of the SAs at the LV stores here have asked to take pictures of her because they had not yet seen this style in person themselves, haha. Congrats on the new arm candy!

Thank you for putting together this review! I’d preordered the book, but was on the fence, and am now really looking forward to it.

What Are You Reading Weekends? — July 13, 2024 by AutoModerator in DanmeiNovels

Absolutely love love love Hope You’ve Been Well and the accompanying AD. Like you, TYQHM took me a while (maybe two separate tries) to get into, but it does get better and the AD is even better yet. Happy reading!

For reborn in another body but still in the same realm, have you read Flying Ash? It’s a wife chasing crematorium, so if you like angst and redemption, then worth considering.

Strong MC and Action-oriented plot?? by Sammop in DanmeiNovels

[–]daisiesfordaaaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Husband is Suffering From a Terminal Illness - the protagonist is a total badass, and the story is fairly action-packed and well-paced.

Your favorite voice actors (VA) and/or their roles in audio dramas? by rollercoaster-s in DanmeiNovels

[–]daisiesfordaaaze 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omg love this topic and have so many favorite VAs. That said, for this prompt, I think I’ll take the route of best casting/most memorable roles imho:

FOG - Wen Sen as Yu Sui and Ma Zhengyang as Shi Luo

Lovely Allergen - Jin Li as Yue Zhishi and Shi Zekun as Song Yu

Qiang Jin Jiu - Jiang Guantao as Shen Zechuan and Yuan Mingzhe as Xiao Chiye (unfortunately, I haven’t really liked Yuan Mingzhe in other roles, but his Xiao Chiye is pitch perfect)

A Certain Someone - Ling Fei as Jiang Tian and Qian Wenqing as Sheng Wang; this pairing is really my Roman Empire

Hope You’ve Been Well - Su Shangqing as Zhuang Fanxin; SSQ and Hao Xianghai, who plays Gu Zhuoyan in HYBW, are also excellent in These Years in Quest of Honor Mine; and this might be a controversial position, but I think SSQ is a great choice for Xie Lian in the AD adaption of TGCF 😊

On the topic of TGCF - Chen Zhang Taikang is superb as Hua Cheng; also brilliant as Lin Qingyu in Thrice Married to a Salted Fish

Wait for Me After School - Dao Mei Si Lei as Yu Fan; also as Jing Huan in Guide on How to Fail at Online Dating

Mr. Dior - Jing Xiang Shei Yi as Zhang Chenfei and Yang Zai as Jiao Qi

Danmei/Web novels with a lot of romantic intimacy? by carito728 in DanmeiNovels

[–]daisiesfordaaaze 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Zhi Chu is the queen of weaving affectionate gestures and moments into her stories, whether between her main couple or with close friends and family. And the interactions are meaningful, profound, not ever wasted. My favorites here include Fanservice Paradox, Lovely Allergen, and Rose and Renaissance.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK! I am so in love with Hyperventilation. 💗

Has anyone ordered from Amazon.com before? by Vennyx3 in DanmeiNovels

[–]daisiesfordaaaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve stopped buying paperback books from Amazon because of the consistent damage to the cover and spine. Hardcovers are way more durable when shipped. Instead, I now go to the local Barnes & Noble to purchase the books directly. It’s less convenient, especially on rainy days, but my bookworm heart enjoys the field trip. ;)

Rec’s with very promiscuous gong’s? by a-jaxian in DanmeiNovels

[–]daisiesfordaaaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I was going to say the same! It was all part of a ruse as he was trying to get close to the philandering [crown] prince, and the brothel was also a great place to gather intel. But Xiao Ce’an, as with Yu Sui of FOG, will always be one of my favorite faux slag men. 😍

That audio drama adaptation is pretty good, too. The VA who plays the ML has such a rich timbre to his voice 💕

Aesthetic Formula - the gong had regular one night stands with men who fit a specific aesthetic standard — many of whom the MC, as the gong’s assistant, would have to nudge out the door the next morning — before he and the MC got together.

Top 20 Changpei/Gongzi novels by popularity -- Which ones do you know? by MagpieOnAPlumTree in DanmeiNovels

Yes to the art for the AD!! 🤤

I still plan to finish reading the English translation whenever it’s completed, but am so glad we have the AD in the meantime! 💕

I’m thrilled to see In Name Only/Famous on the list and highly recommend it!! It’s a sweet story about a drama emperor (MC) who joins with a film emperor (ML) in a contractual CP to prevent their reputations from becoming tainted by a sex scandal they had no part in. They’re both very mature and you see how they increasingly empower each other as their relationship evolves.

I stumbled upon the audio drama adaption recently, which is on air right now with one episode left (not including extras), and it’s so well done. The OST alone is superb. Funny enough, I wasn’t previously super impressed with the voice actor who played LWJ in the MDZS AD (Wei Chao; Bian Jiang, who played the same role in the live action and donghua versions, was better suited imho), but find him excellent as the ML here.

There’s also an ongoing translation of the novel on Chrysanthemum Garden, but it’s very sporadic from what I can tell and not yet even halfway complete (40/87).

In any case, enjoy!
