I LOVE YOUR ASK BUTTON SO I HAD TO ASK SOMETHING

(I love Kassandra so fuckin much)

Uh, what's your favorite book? XD

Hello fella Kassandra lover!!! Oh dear I have to think about this question, because I notice I tend to not have that one book to name drop, but instead I 'adopt' characters and/or quotes because they "inscribed in my mind and carved into my bones".

Before morally grey drow woman, this man was/still is my obsession, his name is Sha Qianmo (杀阡陌/Sát Thiên Mạch), from a popular xianxia novel Hua Qiangu (花千骨/Hoa Thiên Cốt), whose canonically described as "both men and women in all the realms envy him for his beauty", including gods and demons (this will be important for the plot later). His line is so romantic because he legit goes, "If [the man you love] mistreats/sacrifices you for the people in this world, I will slaughter them all." (which he did btw, he's the most powerful lord on the 'evil' side after all) to the female lead, who unfortunately treats him like an older sister and refers to him as such.

I will never forgive the author for giving him a tragic ending. He treasures his beauty the most and yet my man sacrificed it to save his unrequited love, then ended up in an eternal coma, just for the female lead to end up with the male lead who has been treating her like shit. If it wasn't for my bff who brought the series all the way from Vietnam and gifted it to me, I'd probably yeet it out the window (still have them on my bookshelf btw, gorgeous art covers).

So yea I hate how the book ended, but Sha Qianmo is in my custody now, along with his iconic line.

#I love how his last name just means “Kill” #my bff really went 'girl this series raises blood pressure I read it already so now Imma gift it to u' #in his defense he killed because those deities were stopping him from saving the female lead who was being tortured by the male lead #every page I turned I wanted to durge the male lead 'for the goodness of the realms' my ass #I love evil men in long black hair and evil women in long white hair there's something poetic about that #the show did a perfect cast the actor is phenomenal #I read the 3 books in Vietnamese in 3 days #wish my Mandarin was good enough to read novels #coolseabird #answered #oh no I'm thinking about him again #it's been 7 yrs
