A DITCH?! In my historical c-drama?! A city actually using a system of defences to defend themselves instead of opening their gate wide to send their army out? That's #ChengLei for you.First, he wore an armor that worked as an armor in #ShadowLove and now this.
#TheLamentOfAutumn
Bold of him to say that to her while having her hairpin tucked next to his heart🤡
#TheLamentOfAutumn #玉簟秋 #ChengLei
PJ, like a desperate animal, tries to bite off her own limb to free herself from the trap. Back in the car she discovered CX's bottom line - keeping her alive - so she bets her own life and wins. If she truly wanted to die, she wouldn've cut both her wrists,

#TheLamentOfAutumn
Strangely, when planning his death or to cut her wrists, she is calculating and cold-blooded, just like him, using his own playbook and going to the absolute batshit crazy extremes to fly away from her cage since desperate times ask for desperate measures.
A child soldier, experiencing the horrors of war and death at 17, being buried under the rubble while helplessly watching his father choose his older brother over him in a heartbeat while leaving him for dead.
And people still ask why CX is the way he is.
#TheLamentOfAutumn
He is holding the umbrella over her while he's getting drenched, stripping himself off his own shield to protect her and she never knows, never even looks. Such an apt and bittersweet parallel of their relationship.
#TheLamentOfAutumn #玉簟秋 #ChengLei
Ye Pingjun tears are Yu Changxuan's kryptonite, they are like bullets deadlier to him than the best German machine gun as they render him utterly powerless,
#TheLamentOfAutumn #玉簟秋 #ChengLei
No, because that's not what he has really said, it's the MangoTV translator thinking #TheLamentOfAutumn and CX weren't unhinged enough and that she could improve on it and, for once, it works. He actually says "With PJ by my side, how could I go to hell?".
His trembling hand stained with her blood after he rushed to her and grabbed her wrist to stop the bleeding, refusing to let her go one last time, not to trap her but to save her.
#TheLamentOfAutumn #玉簟秋 #ChengLei
He is a man who doesn't even flinch when staring down the barrel of a gun but the sight of her dying makes him freeze and shake. She has truly managed to deal him a mortal blow, leaving him utterly defeated and powerless.
#TheLamentOfAutumn #玉簟秋 #ChengLei
Despite setting her free, he is still carrying her with him in his heart into the flames of war, still holding onto the first and only piece of her he's left and carrying it next to his heart; his guiding light and hope. Yearning, never forgetting.
#TheLamentOfAutumn #ChengLei
The same mad obsessive love that drives CX to risk his life for a woman who doesn't want him is the same insanity that compels him lose all control & lash out when he feels he's losing her.They're two sides of the same coin- one cannot exist without the other +
#TheLamentOfAutumn
- the good and the bad - fierce protectiveness and feral possessiveness. Because what else but an insanity makes a man willing to sacrifice his life for a person he's only met a few weeks ago?
It's poignant how she manages to do what even absolute power could not. It couldn't corrupt him, maybe because he's never lacked it, but she and the lack of her can, it makes him lose all control and reason.Unwittingly,she controls him now & has power over him.
#TheLamentOfAutumn
A man in Changxuan's position can't be a good person in the conventional sense of the word. Such weakness would kill him, her, and every soldier and citizen under his command and protection. But that doesn't mean he is evil, only very much a man of his era.
