"You can hate him, but you cannot blame him." Chapter 1 Act 2

‼️spoilers for tgcf up to vol 4 and black water arc in future installments to this series, but most of the Chapter 1 should be explained quite plainly in the 53rd chapter

idk. this is a series of poems (? if you'd generously call them poems) i wrote (the writing is really cringe) recounting Scholar He and He Xuan's story with a little bit of imagination at the end for an alternate ending

Chapter 1 Act 2: the fiancée

there once was a man.

and he had a love

his childhood friend

pretty as a flower,

so kind, so considerate.

only natural he treasured her

and he did.

and they were engaged.

but remember, always.

nothing good ever lasted for him.

idk again this is just my way of organizing the random stuff i crash out about, in this case its beefleaf and the black water arc 😭 im still not over it

Chapter 1 Act 1: the scholar

there was once a man.

he was a son, as all men are.

and proud his parents should be

for he was brilliant, filial, talented, and honest

and they were, proud of him.

but he was most unfortunate.

just which god did he offend in his last life?

unlucky to be born into a household of poverty

unlucky to offend the state officials supervising the state test

unlucky to be a genius, and yet too poor to please the examiner

and thus, he lost his chance at a rank

and yet that was not

even the end of his misfortune.

that was only ever the beginning.

potentially unpopular tgcf opinion: beefleaf is better in theory but not in canon.
