Hello Lang Ya Bang friends!
I come with you hoping that this fandom isn't as dead as Mei Changsu (ಥ_ಥ still not over it), and with a little project I've had in mind for a few years.
What you see up top are postcards, shittily scanned as they are in reality of truly great quality, like it's crazy how shitty my scanner is I'm shocked. They're truly beautiful and not pixelized I swear! I received these when I ordered the Nirvana in Fire books a few years ago and I've never found any use to them, so why not use them now!?
What I offer: if you'd like to receive one of these postcards, free of charge as it's just for my personal pleasure to spread the NiF love, send me a DM with the one (or ones) you'd like and we'll work on figuring out how to get it to you :))) 4/10 postcards picked (will be edited)
That's it, I think? Thank you for reading this post and I hope people will be interested!

If I had a penny for every time Liu Tao played a hot girlboss wife/gf to a flimsy gremlin of a scholar-strategist malewife, who also has a deeply homoerotic friendship with a sad little man he's trying to help become the crown prince I would have two pennies. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Oh and there's also Guy played by Wang Jinsong who has a long and complicated history with the aforementioned asshole father:
Anyway the point of this post is that if you have seen either Nirvana in Fire or The Advisor's Alliance you should definitely check out the other because you would definitely probably enjoy it very much.
Official Ten Year Anniversary Video for Nirvana in Fire 琅琊榜, featuring a voice-over from Hu Ge as Mei Changsu / Lin Shu
"I have parted with everyone for so long. Are you all doing well?"
Happy ten year anniversary of the airing of Nirvana in Fire! Ten years ago on September 19, this masterpiece of a drama began airing. (And happy birthday to Hu Ge, whose birthday is today, September 20!) The official Weibo account for the drama posted this video to celebrate the anniversary. When I saw it, I got so excited, so I just had to download and translate it. Make sure that the CC is on to see the English subtitles. Enjoy, everyone!
(@guzhuangheaven to let the NIF fandom know 😊)
Can I say my heart is absolutely broken? I just finished this and what a soul-crushing show. My heart can't forever be appeased.
I love it so much and hate how how life has treated the main characters, so many people, mei changsu/lin shu, jingyan, prince qi, entire lin family.....my heart goes out to how mei changsu could tolerate 13 years of planning without taking any action....my heart is ripped by jingyan and lin shu, so much love, despair, and restraint buried there...so much sacrifice (how could that stupid emperor even ask for that promise, im baffled and hurt even tho i know regardless of him asking the ending would have been the same, but it's just stomping at my heart atp....my heart is absolutely broken for ni huang, so much care and affection, willing to put her life at stake for Lin shu but we know it's doomed. Even nirvana in fire sequel with these two again can't appease my heart. Cuz wdym, he is the smartest man and has the right morals and did everything for his best friend to get the throne cuz he has the country in his heart, and cleared his clan and his soldiers names only to never be part of the future that is peaceful and prosperous. Cuz wdym the only guy who deserves it, doesn't get it...pls...Why can't he grow old with Nihuang and be the cool uncle to jingyan's kids?
