oh I love what we’re doing with Zeng ‘I must be strong enough to protect people in the face of whatever comes and if that means risking overloading my capacity then so be it’, ‘I will give my life and loyalty to the one person on whom I have pinned all my hopes’ Qingluo here.
Also damn, what a backstory.
Anyway I love her.

I’m SO curious what’s going on with Bian Jin, because this chapter reads almost like she doesn’t remember what she did and thought that night, when she’s back to pining over (and inventing girlfriends out of whole cloth for) Shen Ni

Honestly for two clearly intelligent and capable people, these two are so very stupid (affectionate) sometimes.
