Okay, I need to talk about this kid Xiao Bai because honestly I am NOT okay with this name. Lin Ji literally hears it and his face just dies inside. He thought it was a pet name, and honestly? Same. But here's the thing that got me — this kid is fourteen, fifteen maybe, and he just got ambushed by a group of cultivators and his FIRST reaction isn't fear or anger, it's 'let's be friends!' He's grinning, showing white teeth, completely unbothered by the fact that he just got robbed. And then he offers Lin Ji the spiritual herb as if THAT settles the debt. The audacity is immaculate. But what really struck me was Lin Ji's reaction. He's this jaded, reborn cultivator who's seen everything, who just killed people with heavenly lightning, and this kid looks at him like he's some kind of legend. 'May I ask which sect you belong to?' — bro, you just watched him fight with his bare hands. And Lin Ji, who actively avoids any connection to the cultivation world, can't even shake this kid. He tries. He really tries. 'I have urgent matters.' But Xiao Bai just keeps coming, waving behind him, saying 'I hope we can reunite in the immortal sect in the future!' And Lin Ji quickens his pace. He's RUNNING from friendship. From connection. From someone who might actually see him as a person rather than a tool or a rival. Isn't that the most tragic thing? The guy who spent his last life hating the protagonist is now terrified of making friends with a random kid. What does he think is going to happen — that Xiao Bai will become some kind of destiny threat? That he'll get attached and then lose him? I keep thinking about this and I can't stop.
I've been thinking about this section for hours and the symbolism keeps revealing itself. The gauze curtains are such a rich image—they're literally what separates the noble spectators from the world below, but they also conceal and reveal at the same time. People peek through them, hidden but visible. And when the curtains are pulled down, the sunlight exposes everything. It's about truth coming to light, about hidden things becoming visible. Luo Xinci's entire arc in these chapters is about truth. She spent years constructing a fantasy about her father—noble sacrifice, abandoned to protect them. The truth is that he's the one who wanted her family dead. The gauze curtains of her imagination are pulled away, and what's left is brutal sunlight. There's also the symbolism of the polo match itself. It's a game of violence disguised as sport—men on horseback striking each other with mallets while ladies watch from behind gauze. It's a perfect metaphor for the political world these characters inhabit: violent, performative, and watched by people who pretend it's all just entertainment. And Jiang Xie hiding in the bamboo shed instead of sitting openly in the pavilion—that's the Crown Prince as a symbol of constrained power. He's the heir to an empire but he can't even watch a horse race without fear of reproach. The shed is both his refuge and his prison. The author is weaving these symbols throughout without ever being heavy-handed about it. Every image does double or triple duty.
Great! Carry on with it! Translations are fantastic, and both the original and translated versions have their charm. The portrayal of family relationships feels genuine from a psychological standpoint, and although there's plenty of drama, it's well-balanced without being excessively exaggerated. The historical backdrop is also skillfully written. I appreciate how character development starts from the very beginning. With only 12 chapters so far, there's potential for growth, but the novel definitely shows promise at this stage.
I hope not... It was getting better and better.
