I haven’t read all the 188 novels yet–and some, I need to reread coz I was just skimming them the first time–but so far, these two are my favorite couples <3

Song Juhan / He Gu (HanGu) from Years of Intoxication. YOI is my second 188 novel. Song Juhan suffering is just :chefkiss:. I’m translating it as well, so it has a special place in my heart.

Gong Yingxian / Ren Yi (GongRen) from Blazing Armor. Probably the sweetest / most wholesome couple in the entire 188 universe. Gong Yingxian is no scum gong at all. Heck, I wouldn’t even consider Blazing Armor as a dog blood novel. The firefighting aspect was written so well, it made me want to enroll in a firefighting crash course.

He’s the guy on the left! Wikipedia says:

Rèn Yí (Chinese: 任頤; 1840–1896), also known as Ren Bonian, was a painter and son of a rice merchant who supplemented his income by doing portraits. He was born in Zhejiang, but after the death of his father in 1855 he lived in Shanghai. This move placed him in a more urban world that was exposed to Western thinking. In Shanghai he became a member of the Shanghai School which fused popular and traditional styles. He is also sometimes referred to as one of the "Four Rens."

He was noted for his bold brushstrokes and use of color. In his earlier career the Song Dynasty painters influenced him, but later on he favored a freer style influenced by the works of Zhu Da.
