For those who don't know, I am reading TGCF for the first time and sharing my thoughts!

If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.

Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag Bloopitynoot reads TGCF. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read BUT if you followed along with my SVSSS read, the rules and vibe are the same.

A very basic breakfast tea this morning with my read :)

It's farmers market day and I have a pal coming over to paint D&D minis for our game next week. I m so excited!

Based on how this chapter went-I low key hope I have some time at the end of the day to read another chapter. My emotions! Too much!

Let's get into Chapter 130:

I'm convinced Jun Wu shackled Xie Lian because he knew he was stronger than him, p101

Yes! Punch him in the face! p101

Feng Xin LOL this absolute golden retriever of a man, "Your Elderliness" p102

The lava brigade over here. RIP Mu Qing's hair, bless Feng Xin for trying his best, and damn! State preceptor, I see through your "old man" persona, you OP mother fucker. p103

Wait, why was that actually so wholesome with cuocuo! p105 his son saved him :'3

Oh god. They really had to get me with human face disease AGAIN. p106

The way MXTX creates villains is diabolical. Ma'am. Please don't make me feel any amount of sad for them! They ruined so many lives :((( p109

For real, "There is no next time" p111

My heart! Xie Lian finally knows who Wuming is! :'3 p113

Wait. What the fuck. He's fading away?! p114

"I pray to never rest in peace" omg I am crying- gah, what the fuck. p116

"To die in battle for you is my greatest honour" Y'all. I have places to be today and I am an emotional mess. p117

I'm trying so hard not to cry on my notes :((((( p118

Ugh. The art is devastating p119

He still has the string though! (me clutching to any semblance of happy ending here). p121

This rebuild is going to be rough. Bless rain master for showing up. I am optimistic for them with her there. p12

I have to go touch some grass

This was an emotionally messy chapter. Probably the most I've cried this entire book :(((( My heart!

Lang Qianqiu: What is your favorite mythical story, Guoshi?

Xie Lian: The Story Of My Will To Live

Lang Qianqiu: I don’t think I’ve heard of that one before

[mindlessdepressionexcludingdeath]

Mei Nianqing here to remind you that it's OK to be gay! And everything else on the rainbow. Or dead. Dead is okay too.

I'm making this my profile picture on every account on every website/app I have until I can make a new one. Y'all can use my art too, as long as you give me credit.

The State Preceptor is my fifth favourite character, and yes, I do have a list. Half of his ranking is based on this one quote.

Update: I'm starting Mo Dao Zu Shi! I've watched the first season of the donghua already, but so far, it's a great piece of homosexual literature. I have to say, I have never read another book that just gay-up says the main character is gay on page twenty, nor have I read another book in which the main couple sleeps together as early as chapter four. Jesus. Nonetheless, it's great.

Also, I bought the special edition of TGCF book 8, and I read it. Eight times and counting. I cried each time. Good times.

Does this look like hot water in a cup? Yes. But no, it is apple tea!

I am so glad it's the weekend; and Pride month eve.

I have this sneaking suspicion I will be finishing TGCF in the gayest of months and I am so happy about it.

Let's go chapter 119!

We are still going deeper with Jun Wu's crimes! Even the fate of the "child" Xie Lian caught was due to Jun Wu's bullshit. p231

LOL The preceptor just going on about it all, no knowing Hua Cheng is indeed that child. p232

"...he doesn't want you to die at all. He only wanted you to become the person he had been trying to forge you into" p233 scummy as hell.

This makes a lot more sense for a secondary motive to be honest. Not only did Jun Wu get his rocks off on his obsession with Xie Lian, but it's super convenient that Xie Lian kept taking out/exposing his powerful enemies. p237

"He...simply couldn't tolerate the idea that a soul so similar to his own could have a different path" p239. oof. I suffer so you must suffer. So awful.

IM DEAD LOL. The Preceptor: Did you turn gay or was it from birth? Was it me?? Was it my teachings??? p240

I'M CACKLING! p243

Hua Cheng your drama queen!

What a way to reveal the preceptor has been talking shit about you this entire conversation without him even knowing it was you XD I can't this is so dramatic and petty, I love it so much for him.

Early morning chapter today so it means latte!

I got super into finishing Drag Brunch Saved My Life yesterday and before I knew it, I ran out to time to read this beefy (in the context of the other recent chapter lengths) chapter.

I hope I can do a second one tonight, but I do have an appointment after work- it'll depend when I get home,

BUT for now, let's get into chapter 118!

Hualian thinking the preceptor is kidnapped (correct) and tortured (nope lol) but he's just chilling playing cards with some paper dolls lol p196 (In retro after reading this chapter and knowing what happens to his pals- this part now feels sad).

"Let me finish this round first" BRO. p197

Jeeze, how is this all connected to "Body in abyss, heart in paradise" p198

Damn. The parallels between Jun Wu and Xie Lian are wild. I get why the preceptor was so adamant that Xie Lian cannot change fate. After he went through it with Jun Wu- Trauma. p201

Oh, I see wow. "He had the heart, but not the strength" p205

Holy shit, that's actually tragic with the bridge. p206

Jeeze, Jun Wu even fell like Xie Lian, this is rough. There are parallels like this with a similar duo (dynamic?? villain/hero?) in MDZS. I don't want to spoil it so I wont name who or what, but I do love a story where two characters have similar upbringings and completely diverge as a result of that experience. One pure resentment the other good- it's always so cool to read. p207

Saving people failed (as a side- fuck the other officials who didn't even try to help) so the next attempt by Jun Wu was HUMAN SACRIFICE?! p209

Damn, he lost all his supporters like Xie Lian too- why the fuck was he doing this intergenerational trauma with Xie Lian. It was all orchestrated by him. So fucked, this didn't have to happen. pp210-211

Human face disease please, I hate it so much. p213

"The heavenly dynasty changed after another century or two, and all the heavenly officials of the past faded away" Jun Wu wasn't lying to Yin Yu about him just changing his face and killing all the officials. He was 100% talking from his own experience. p219

omg. Here I thought that Jun Wu was only responsible for the White No Face portions of Xie Lian's life. But NOPE, he orchestrated the entire lead up to the fall of Xianle too! What the fuck!!! p223

Gross. And his only goal when asked by the preceptor was to groom Xie Lian. I hate him so much. p224

omg. Jun Wu literally created the entirety of the world's evils single handedly! The reverend of empty words and a fuck ton of other monsters and beasts. The entire supreme system OH and ALL of heaven is paved with the ones of martial gods- fucking LOVE that. p227

The entire situation at Yinian Bridge too! I would honestly feel confident in saying that Xie Lian has just been unlucky from birth. the fact that he accidentally said the sleeper code to awaken the most ruthless guy. omg. p229

Holy shit!

That was a LOT to take in; and all said so casually what the fuck.

I feel for the state preceptor-do what you need to do to survive my guy. If that means making dolls of your dead friends to feel something; like damn, that is the LEAST harmful way to cope that was mentioned in this chapter.

It is market day!

I bought SO many tomatoes- I can't wait till skylar and I process them for a delicious roasted soup tomorrow. It's not soup season lol but it is tomato season so I'm stoked.

Today with my read, I have a pot of oolong tea.

Let's get into chapter 120!

The preceptor is just jumping to conclusions like he's in a hurdle race. Stalking for 800 years- pfft. That dishonor goes to Jun Wu. p245

He did however get Xie Lian with the "sharing of spiritual power" LOL BUT Xie Lian is enthusiastically consenting so really, it's non of his business. p246

I saw the all caps and just KNEW it was Qi Rong. I didn't even have to read what was being said LOL p247

I'm on board for Guzi gentle parenting Qi Rong. p248. Honestly I'm just happy this kid is still alive.

Preceptor! LOL! Stop roasting Hua Cheng by accident. First he's talking shit about this guys upbringing and now he's going off about how shit his handwriting is. pls LOL p249

Once again our reigning queen, Lord Rain Master is saving the day. p251

At first I thought- holy shit how does he know they were out? Then I realized the brocade immortal gave it away immediately. Also. Jun Wu lifting the blankets off of Xie Lian gave me the ICK. p253

How the fuck do they plan on hiding two grown men under the covers? How thick are these blankets? Like Jun Wu isn't going to be suspicious as fuck that Xie Lian's volume just doubled randomly. p254

Qi Rong needs to chill. This guy is always out here trying to start shit with everyone when he could just be relaxing. p257

Oh god. Jun Wu really set Xuan Ji loose on Pei Ming. p259

RIP NOPE. It's actually all of Pei Ming's enemies trying to kill him at once. p260

Jun Wu is such a pos. He's really trying to coerce Pei Ming into unleashing human face disease now. p261

I hate the manipulation!

Jun Wu is the worst. He just keeps putting people in life or death situations and then swooping in "saving them" when they do what he wants (which are all TERRIBLE things).

There are handful of chapters left in this book. I just need someone to stab Caesar.

My hojicha has arrived!

I am so happy- it's really tasty. This is my first experience with it and honestly I'm stoked to be adding it to my forever rotation of teas.

I tried to get my partner- sky- to try it (she does not like matcha). She said it was marginally better, it tasted less like death for her.

A win is a win lmao. It isn't worse than matcha for her.

Let's get into chapter 124 (the last chapter of book 7!!!):

Mu Qing, Feng Xin, I hope you aren't in too much trouble! p321

The state preceptor: omg these children need an adult. Fuck. I am the adult. p322

Why don't I believe Mu Qing. Bro says he's been there the entire time.... hmmm. p323

Damn Hua Cheng and the state preceptor don't like Mu Qing. p323

Not a foreshadowing one on the die! I play DnD that's a bad omen my guy! p324

"All right. Gege, remember to protect me." p326

Yeah I bet, "Mu Qing was behaving quite oddly", either that's NOT Mu Qing or something more nefarious is up. p327

I'm crying LOOOOL Hua Cheng's passive aggression with the state preceptor is killing me XD p329

LOL more sword stroking. p332

'Mu Qing' why is your energy so sketchy! p335

I don't trust shit anymore

Mu Qing is acting awfully suspicious! But I also struggle to believe anyone who isn't Hua Cheng or Shi Qingxuan at this point LOL.

What a way to end book 7!

I should be getting book 8 tomorrow, but depending on the time it arrives I am not sure I'll be able to post a chapter.
