But what if the Centaurs worked out Ilya Heart Eyes Rozanov had moved countries, joined a worse team and started a charity with Shane because he was in love with him, but didn't realise they were in an actual romantic relationship.

Think of the shenanigans as they tried to get them together. Ilya might think it was a little bit sweet but he would also be humiliated because he is down bad but it's mutual! The pity would have him punching walls.

Shane has no idea whats going on but its weird he keeps getting locked in rooms with Ilya whenever he visits. Are they being bullied? He begins carrying screwdrivers on him to get them out of all the places they find themselves locked in.

Xie Zheng: of course the falcon came back even though it didn't need medical care anymore because everyone here is so sweet and keeps feeding it. Stupid bird.

Also Xie Zheng: spends the entire two episodes eating candy that his wife bought him and not leaving even though he's probably fine now

This means NOTHING. No parallels here. Nope. None.

PURSUIT OF JADE (2026) | Ep 11

[shortiesmiling]

Saw that many people were confused as to who was who, why the war for the throne and how everyone was connected.

So I tried to put it together as efficiently as possible

I am not sure that I got everything right, especially as to how the current emperor is connected to the previous one. But there is the gist of it!

PURSUIT OF JADE (2026)

Terms that have been Lost in Translation in Pursuit of Jade:

Jiefu （姐夫）- Changning calls Xie Zheng this, she would never call him by his name - see my explanation here

Sunsun (隼隼) - a nickname for the Falcon, because Xie Zheng's white falcon is a Gryfalcon - a "mao sun" (矛隼), and Changning gives the falcon a nickname derived from that, "Sunsun". Kind of like if you called a cat a "kitty" or something. "Sun" by itself just means falcon, generally.

a-jie (阿姐)- Changning calls Changyu "a-jie", which means "older sister"

Zheng'er (征儿) - dilf Wei Yan refers to his nephew Xie Zheng as "Zheng Er", the "Zheng" being his name, and the "er" being a diminuitive, often used for children / someone a generation below you.

Ben Hou (本侯) - this is the personal pronoun Xie Zheng uses to refer to himself, we can see it when he spoke with Li Huai'an in episode 11. It roughly translates to "I, the marquis", and really emphasises his title. He is kind of pulling rank on Li Huai'an here, heh.

Gongsun Yin （公孙鄞）- Gongsun Yin, not sure if this counts but Gongsun is the surname fyi, his name is one word, "Yin". He has one of those double-character surnames.

Silliness aside, I love the little touches about class issues in Pursuit of Jade. It is very clear that the magistrate doesn't usually deal with people who know the law. He is used to doing whatever he wants because no one is literate enough to oppose him. And it royally pisses Xie Zheng off but only because he knows better.

Also the magistrate immediately turning nice when he sees someone in silk. All the rich people look so extremely out of place in Fan Changyu's neighborhood.

The pawn shop owner knew Fan Chengyu couldn't read that contract when she pawned her hairpin and took advantage of that.

It's funny that Xie Zheng has no idea what things cost and how little people live on but it's also terrifying that Xie Zheng has no idea what things cost and how little people live on because he is part of the ruling class. Money means almost nothing to him and it takes up most of Fan Changyu's mental energy.

Xie Zheng clearly has access to much better medicine than Fan Changyu and the money to pay for it. The thugs who cannot find jobs because of war. Everyone around Fan Changyu being excited to eat pig offal and tails while Xie Zheng cannot bring himself to eat it because he would never be offered such a labour intensive piece of an animal and it's gross to him. He has the luxury to find calories gross. It goes on and on

hmmm im not seeing it talked about but Tian Xiwei is known to be small but a bit muscular. Just look up 田曦薇肌肉 and you'll get some pretty funny and impressive pics/videos of her picking up guys or doing tasks. There's even some of her carrying half a pig.

also not to be gay but holy her arms her back

I'm not too suprised she managed to carry him on her back and I think?? There were reuters of her carrying him that people talked about when it was filmed.

I mean 😹 she even got wang hedi in a princess carry. Multiple examples of this with various costars.

She makes a GREAT Fan Changyu. Small but strong butcher 🔪 her crying scenes are also so emotional and good. Glad more ppl recognize her. It's funny ppl are like I watch for the men and it's like against her? HER?
