For those who’ve seen #LoveintheClouds it will be obvious

I don’t know much about designer tea cups 🍵 - but I have my favourite tea mug (which is made of finer material than my coffee mug) 🙂
I did a quick search though for designer tea cups, & these 2 designs look pretty (& pretty expensive: the 1st one is just shy of £1000, & the 2nd is almost as dear)

He’s definitely the superstar among canine cdrama actors lol, but he’s not the only doggie idol 😊
Eg, here’s another upcoming star being held by Shen Yue (from #LoveinPavilion)

Day 7: Cute Animals 😻
Two of my favourite fantasy dramas from this year - #MoonlitReunion & #Feud - showcased striking animal actors 🐈 🐕
(Though getting them to appear together in the same drama may be a problem 😊)

*Finally* Gu Tingye convinces Minglan to have a proper heart-to-heart
He tells her he understands her conflict, & that if she marries him her standing among women will equal his standing among men
“I will not let you be aggrieved & keep things to yourself from now on”

This time when Gu Tingye comes to talk marriage he’s in earnest (with a roguish smile on his face)
But Minglan’s not having anything to do with it 😅 Shocked by his elaborate strategies she says
“What do you treat me as? A wild pig in a trap, or a herring in a fish net?”

lol - every time these two meet they always talk about marriage 😅
That they are fated is certainly clear to Gu Tingye, but Minglan is only slowly beginning to ponder this new possibility…

After Minglan hears sad news about Yuanruo, who comes with a message from him but Gu Tingye?
He takes the opportunity to affectionately encourage her to look ahead
As she says to herself afterwards,
“Our eyes are grown on the front side, so we can look ever forward”

I love their heart-to-heart after the pirate & boating incident
Because it is a liminal moment outside the usual routines, Minglan is unusually open with Gu Tingye, confiding in him about her life, while pressing him to reflect on his parental responsibilities

Congratulations to this drama on breaking all kinds of viewing records both in China & internationally
Btw, I came across this chart on Reddit with its own calculation for successful 2025 dramas (I don’t know how valid its methodology is), & it’s quite interesting - #LovesAmbition is number 2

I’m a few episodes past this now, but there’s a cool Tolstoy-esque scene that takes place at a polo-match, where Minglan steps in to help her friend retrieve a family heirloom
The horse-riding skills she’s kept secret come to the fore, gaining the respect of Countess Wu

After learning that #TheStoryofMinglan is back on Viki, I couldn’t resist a rewatch of this marvellous gem! 💎
I’m at the point in the story when Gu Tingye is at his most infuriating 😠 - his blindness towards a certain person creating tragedy
Meanwhile Minglan remains a locus of sanity
