baihe_mediaJust a quick round-up of the official art for the audio drama adaptation of Traitors' End (诛佞, pinyin: zhu ning) because it is absolutely stellar.
We get three official posters, which is absolutely luxurious — a lot of audio dramas only have about one per season!
The first two are from the period when Yin Ning still distrusts Gu Qingtang (and believes Gu Qingtang to be a man), and the third one is obviously from after they've declared their love for each other. I don't know much about art so I lack the vocabulary to properly talk about it, but I love the painterly quality of the images, and the details like Yin Ning's concealed dagger in the first two posters, and the red string which is wound around Gu Qingtang's hand in the first two posters, and which ends up tied round Yin Ning's ankle in the third.
We also get this amazing piece of bonus art, which continues with the red string theme. All four pieces of artwork are by Zhou Xiaobie (周小鳖), who can be found on Weibo here.
We also get these two absolutely adorable pieces of chibi art! The second one was created to mark the Lunar New Year.
The audio drama is based on the historical novel of the same title by Liu Yuan Chang Ning (流鸢长凝), in which Gu Qingtang, a girl from the present day, time-travels to the ancient past and ends up being the adopted son and right-hand man of a powerful and corrupt official (this, of course, in time-honoured fashion, requires cross-dressing). She schemes to marry Yin Ning, the emperor's youngest sister, for a combination of altruistic and selfish reasons. Yin Ning is deeply unamused by this, and attempts unsuccessfully to stab Gu Qingtang on their wedding night. I reviewed the novel here and posted about the teaser for the audio drama adaptation here.
