Yanli is Everything Sweet

Jiang Cheng hasn't changed one bit in all these years, and Yanli is the glue that holds this family together.

It's not so much the stories you hear but the fact that you know they'll never experience this kind of joy ever again that just keeps on ripping your heart out.

The sacrifices that Wuxian continues to make over and over for the sake of his family is mind numbing. That he never seeks approval or appreciation, only just to be able to have his family safe and sound. He's even sacrifice being with them until the end if it means they're in a better place, no matter what dark, cold place he himself ends up in.

I know that Jiang Cheng's bad temper is all pretense, but I still can't help feeling like I eat a piece of fish and got a small bone stuck in my mouth. It's the acting on pretenses that has cased problems for all the elders of every clan. It's not like these dudes cannot see that themselves. That Jiang Cheng is fine just being the same always irks me to no end. He hurts especially bad knowing the things he's being given merely because he refuses to put down the pretenses in the first place. It just feels so beyond selfish, even if he doesn't understand completely just HOW selfish he is. !!!
