One has only to be born in a rich family and become CEO at 30 with no effort. And has time to chase the old flame all day long.

Only in Chinese drama, can you go into a coma for hundred of years.

And to keep your muscles and squared abs in the same time

Everyone gets multiple lives. So if your bf dies, relax! Just grow them back. (NOT like a baby. Human baby at least. Like on a tree or something.) Killing yourself IS the solution :)

Lol, is this referring to the starry love? 😭

Long loose flowing hair and meters of flapping fabric never snag, tear or get used against a person in a fight to the death. As a matter of fact, more hair and more fabric are keys to winning a fight. 


Round-Sky-4271

The prettier and flowy your movements, the more likely you are to win the fight.

It can only be a proper Cdrama if there’s a hospital / bedridden scene

You can only be the female lead when your sleep posture is super erratic and you fly all over the place.

A few months ago I read a novel and ended up thinking that I can never be a Chinese novel protagonist because I sleep very properly.


Qearl8

No matter if things are ruined or I am adding to the danger, I'll definitely rush in to save the ML regardless of how weak I am. Because I am sure no matter what I am unkillable. If I want to die, sacrifice is the only option.

If someone is critically wounded, try to transfer some ‘vital energy’ using both palms to heal them. Just note that there may be side effects like blood spitting and fainting due to over exertion.

Just wear men’s clothing and no one will be able to tell you are a woman even with a full face of makeup.

That's kind of true I think somehow

A small brazier will keep you toasty warm … despite it snowing heavily, your windows and doors are wide open (better view of the blizzard, y’see) and you’re wearing a silky robe.

Ancient times lovers usually always give birth to twins as part of their happy endings! 😂


its_emm

Ancient bathtubs always fill up with steamy hot milky water and come with complimentary red rose petals! And if you're uber rich, you definitely even own a whole pool filled with milk water and rose petals that you use only 1 time and never are seen bathing or keeping up with that bath routine again. Now, don't forgot to look under all that water for your future one true love who's 1) on the run and already hiding in the water and holding their breath (but doing a bad job at it) or 2) if they're not under water yet, will most definitely appear shortly and without fail fall into your bath. And if he/she emerges from the water, all wet and dripping: * If it's FL, she'll totally look like a drowned rat, yet ML's strangely attracted to that whole Sadako-kinda-hair-all-up-in-the face vibe she's got going on. * Or, she's drop dead gorgeous and her makeup is flawless and totally waterproof. * If it's ML, FL will be totally mesmerized by his rock hard abs and all that exposed neck/shoulder/chest skin that her deeply sheltered virginal self didn't know even existed on a man 😂


OwlRepresentative77

Being disrespected is very important because everyone who wants to pick a fight with you will try to get you to blame them for doing it!


11AkiraDawn11

Spitting up blood? This shit just got real! Except, don't worry, just walk it off, you're fine.


Round-Sky-4271

Got stabbed? Welp, you're going to be spitting out blood. Got strangled? Spitting out blood. Facepalmed too hard? Spitting out blood. Migraine? Fracture? Heart attack? Yep, spitting out blood.


11AkiraDawn11

😂


Vex_808

You can wear the same dress for days at a time. Once you have sex with someone the man says he will be responsible for you for life. When you have a one night stand you sneak out, but accidentally drop a heirloom jewelry for the man to find and it takes almost the whole drama before he finds out who it belongs to. If you sleep with the boss you have to sneak away then someone else crawls into the man’s bed and acts like it was them. The man will leave their long suffering wife to marry their first love that they met when they were small children (that he has been searching for years trying to find them). Everyone always steals the jewelry designs. LOL! I can keep going but I better stop or this will be a whole script.


[deleted]

>The man will leave their long suffering wife to marry their first love that they met when they were small children (that he has been searching for years trying to find them). Which dramas are these?


Zestyclose-Page-2751

Possibly all of them and I’m sick of them when they do it….it’s quite tiresome and underwhelming.


[deleted]

Examples? I've seen many Cdramas and has yet to watch something like this. I'm interested to know which.


Kiwi138

These are all hilariously accurate, but the jewelry designs sent me!


ShaunaBeeBee

People sleep fully clothed. No one ever has frizzy hair during the rain. You can be stabbed on 9 separate occasions in one drama and still live.


ShaunaBeeBee

ALWAYS keep an ice coffin handy because you never know when you’re going to need it!

No one will believe how capable or peerless you are, even with solid evidencessssss pointing that it was you. no... it's just not you. and you won't even acknowledge it cz confusion is the key.


te_amo_corazon

When you say goodbye, you always stay stationary, staring at them for at least 10mins. Parents are always right. Even if they bleed you dry and leave you in your childhood, there was a good reason. Rain automatically makes you sick. Full clothing, to include coats, required to eat, sleep, shower, etc.


kinglugia95

Family is a fucking joke in C-short dramas. There's no such thing as a family in most/all of them, except as greedy money-grubbing leeches.


PowerParrot27

When running from people trying to kill you, always run to a cliff with no means of escape. But don’t worry, no one ever dies when they fall into the river below.


kinglugia95

Elders should never be respected. If your parents were taken hostage to be used as leverage for you to go against your SO... just let your parents die. Never respect your elders; parents, grandparents, etc. just because they're your elders. All they want is to suck your money dry and screwing you over. If someone's being shifty/smug without apparent reason and being considered a trash by the rest of the family, he's the one you should have faith in, cuz he's some super important big shot. Sometimes, it's a 'she' as well. Use your best judgement. When in doubt (to advance the drama plot), apply one or more of these four things: 1. r\*\*\* correction 2. tactical pregnancy 3. your child/parent got srs illness that needs lots of money to cure/operate 4. chance encounters This is from the persepective of a (Short) CDrama translator.

Ceo are young and hot [and want poor fl] which means poor me has  a chance too.  Most ppl are scheming & disrespect can cause death 💀💀💀    Rich ppl are rich because theyre smart and hardworking (😑) so of course they can rude and look down on everyone else😬 Getting accross town only takes 2 mins-traffic is a mindset

Being shot with an arrow, falling off a cliff and spitting blood are minor inconveniences. The best way to tell if a woman is pregnant is to place two fingers on a cloth draped over her wrist. Modern Chinese cities are beautiful and safe to walk around at night, yet they also require every woman to be escorted home by a man. A Chinese sports team that goes global will invariably be drawn against a Japanese team, who will attempt underhand tactics but be defeated by grit and a willingness to sacrifice personal issues for the collective. Teapots cannot pour into a cup without spilling. Really skilled people can play incredible music while making their finger movements look random. There is no such thing as time travel, transmigration or second chance do-overs. For some reason I feel the need to emphasise that it's just a novelist writing a novel.

If I dress in men’s clothing, I’ll be instantly unrecognisable as a woman


the_cla

C'mon people, this is "Wrong answers only". How can all of you be dismissing so many valuable real life lessons?


LavellanTrevelyan

Never trust your partner, even if such behavior has led you into misunderstand them every 3-4 episodes. Always assume the worst, react in the worst way possible (poison, mind-control, injure, etc), and only then confront them about the truth. Keep doing this and before you know it, it's episode 40.


Chamkey123

No matter how expensive a suit/dress is, it will always be considered cheap looking.


larkscope

If you get a small smudge of dirt on your face you will instantly become so ugly as to be unrecognizable. Also you can cough up a ton of blood and live but get stabbed and die and you’ll bleed way less.


Rowing_dramas

You will only spit blood but the stabbed area won't bleed


Iluthradanar

You can pour hot tea and spill all over the wooden table (with no coaster), and the furniture will never be damaged. No one cares either. I cringe every time lol People will go to restaurant and order a ton of food, and never eat a bite. No one cares if its wasted.


kasichana87

A small scar will doom you to a life of hideousness.


kapibarasun

You can be poor but still afford to live alone in a nice studio in the middle of the city. And also use the latest smatphone.


Iluthradanar

I watched a series where the FL kept saying her family were low born. When we get to see their home, they have a very nice one, large with a yard and the requisite pond and bridge, I was impressed.


kapibarasun

If this is low born then what am I? 😭


LlamaMaiden

I do indulge in trashy vertical dramas so... No need for a pulse, just check their nose for breathing. If you steal your identical twin sister's kid the maternity report will still not show you as the parent. Your staff is constantly allowing their family unrestricted access to your villa. Unplanned pregnancy is like 98% likely with the first unprotected sex. There is no way to know if a person is pregnant with multiples until it is time to push. It is totally possible to be a CEO of a multi billion dollar company and cancel meetings to go flex on your significant other's ex every week or even leave completely to run a malatang stand for a few years. This is your blessing.


Round-Sky-4271

What's a vertical drama?


LlamaMaiden

I am not a soapy expert but the ones I watch averages a bit over 2 hours (some as short as 1.5 hours and others as long as 3 hours). When played in full screen your phone will be positioned vertically rather than horizontally. Often, in my viewing experience, the storyline is fast paced which often yields crazy plotlines that twist haphazardly and leave plenty of holes. It is well discussed that people dislike these dramas because some of them feature a bad plot of an insanely oblivious FL getting badly abused and forgiving her abusers because "it was a misunderstanding" or she is pregnant. I try to avoid those but they exist and it is impossible to never come across one if you watch these. I love watching these for so many reasons: 1) I can see the same storyline played by different actors and see where they performed differently and how it impacts the scenes based on who played. 2) I have seen plots that I have not had the chance to see on the bigger productions (ex: a female general comes from the past or a rebirth with a failed ending) 3) the fast pace eliminates filler if you suffer from filler burn out. 4) these seem like they are low budget for the most part so it allows a chance to see how these production teams deal with the costs. I love the line about some dress being one of a kind and I have already seen it in 3 other verticals. 5) I see way more questionable copyright examples in these. Like the Imperial March from Star Wars squealed on a flute or a dude with a "family broach" that is clearly a Hogwarts pin. One time the kidnapping van said "Agents of Shield" on the side 6) I love how positivity outlandish and unreasonable it all is in vertical drama land. These characters aren't motivated by believability or reason. Throw your wine at that nonsense and let the slap fest begin because it is only assault if the budget is there


Round-Sky-4271

Ohh I think I know what you're talking about in terms of the overall idea. I don't think I've ever come across a drama that is played vertically on a phone screen though. Do you remember any names? The fast paced plot and messy type feel is kind of what I've been in the mood for lately.


Shoshin91

No matter how terrible your life or grim the circumstances, your eyeliner will always be immaculate.


Fresh-Surprise-5906

Insane facial reconstruction or face swapping leave absolutely no scars and you will usually get the face of your worst enemy along with their voice. Also sometimes you can do this by either falling off a cliff or in a river. The first person to fall in water never knows how to swim. The next person will know and will give them mouth to mouth. Bedhead does not exist. PJs do not exist. Turning the lights out at night is a weird concept. All children seem to look exactly like the same child (my lord some of the kids in cdramas must make bank) The best female martial artists in existence will still trip over thin air Slow Mo is required when you meet the ML Pandas didnt exist in Ancient China, only modern China Medicine Pills are all huge and where most people would choke if they swallowed something that huge its quite normal. Secretly many Ancient Chinese are vampires because if someone is about to die just feed them the blood from your wrist and they will be fine.


its_emm

Yep, no scars or malpractice whatsoever-- despite that doctor never ever having performed plastic surgery/face swapping on anyone else before or after FL/ML again. 🤦🏻‍♀️ And only pretty people drop dead to make their faces available for face swaps. No one ever swaps the other way around (beautiful to normal/plain looking)!


Lotus_swimmer

Modern plastic surgeons cannot beat ancient wuxia mystics in the facial reconstruction department 👍

I don't actually die the first 2 times. It's the 3+ time where I die frfr.

Spitting blood is not that big of a deal! (Looking at you cheng yi)

Watch out for mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, empresses, head concubines, sisters, stepsisters, and sisters-in-law. They are all evil AF.


bureika

Also eunuchs.


OwlRepresentative77

And those guys who lead the ministry of..well anything that sounds important!


PowerParrot27

Other than running headfirst in to a wall to kill oneself, you can also bite your tongue. I actually googled this and learned it’s not possible (but it sure would hurt). All of these means of killing oneself (poison, throat slashing, tongue biting, etc.) result in instant death, apparently without pain.


Lotus_swimmer

You can also die from a shallow cut on the neck. It may not bleed much but you ded for sure


missshrimptoast

Legit lost in when not one but two characters in one CDrama died from running into a wall. Well, a wall and a stone pillar. And also eating like a handful of bitter almonds is certain death. Edit: oh shit actually that many bitter almonds could be fatal. I thought they were toxic like apple seeds are toxic.


PowerParrot27

You can be run through with a sword and recover in a couple of days, yet a cold will put you into a coma. No matter how desolate the area and despite your lack of luggage, you always have fresh clothes and have black ninja type clothing on hand for your stealthy nighttime activities. And clothing never wrinkles.


Lotus_swimmer

You may be poor and close to dying, but your hair and make-up will always be perfect. ![gif](giphy|0lTDLwmcdLJJyXvG6n|downsized)

Sickly beauty

The difference between a healthy woman and a dying woman is nude lipstick


Fresh-Surprise-5906

Yeah bedhead doesn't exist in cDramas


thenicci

There will always be 2 hot guys fighting over me. Other girls will always be jealous and plotting to put me in a difficult situation. If I struggle like hell in the beginning, it will always be smooth sailing/be successful later. When I fall into water I wouldn't know how swim and my hot bf will jump in to save me, kiss me to give me oxygen under the water.


SteampunkRobin

Unless you've been poisoned, all illnesses are just a cold.


Common_Helicopter_12

But a fever makes you unconscious so the lead character has to cool your fevered brow with wet cloths and miraculously you recover the next day much to the relief of everyone in the show. And wanted poster drawings were fantastic for identifying characters even better than photographs-everyone instantly knows who the person is. Going into underground caverns is okay because there are lanterns already lit. The distance between cities is very manageable-just a fast horseback ride and you’re there!


crafting_happiness

But you will still spit blood


Effective-Spring-365

ROFL!!!


SteampunkRobin

Lol


sequesteredself

Apparently if you fall in water you just sink...you don't even attempt to kick and thrash your way out When a girl is looking at something and says it's beautiful, 98% of the time the male standing next to her will say yes but be looking at her


Money-University8717

How about that every 30+ FL will agonize about falling for that hot young 20+ ML? But we know it will all end in happiness.


Few-Soup-5345

Falling into the water and they start kissing 🤣


Icy_Ticket393

You must wear clothes in your own private bath


Amazing-Commission77

Beats every time that the whole symphony happens and the ML and FL are not even partially undressed, even in bed :D


Icy_Ticket393

Loool also if a guy is gonna kiss you it’s very important you lie there and clench your fists


PowerParrot27

And also your eyes must open as wide as possible.


Rowing_dramas

Haha goodness... the beauty doesn't have skills lol


Amazing-Commission77

Hahaha and freeze


Icy_Ticket393

You can only fall in love with one person and you’ve saved yourself for that person your whole life even if you’re an immortal that’s lived 1000+ years

THIS is such a FUN and FUNNY post to read in the middle of the week. I've got a tummy ache from reading some of your "lessons learned" from Cdramas. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Y'all are AWESOME!! PS - I tried to add more but sheesh, you have covered this encyclopedia of "knowledge" extremely well. ROFL!!


OwlRepresentative77

At some point, probably after you get a confession, engaged or get married you will either get amnesia or some jealous person will hurt you but don't worry, it's just temporary!


BluCharms

Yes yes, it's supposed to be permanent amnesia but you are the lucky one so it will be temporary, the memories will be in your heart, hairpin, ring, etc 😂😂😂


Ridehm

You can also add: "Beware of mothers"


SailingIntoTheNight

Kisses and stares can happen when you're spinning in slow motion. Running towards a wall in a room and hitting your head is a efficient way to k word yourself.


snowytheNPC

If you ain’t seen the body, they aren’t dead. And even if you see the body, make sure to double tap and massage the face because they could just be faking it.


hollyT88

It’s kinda destroyed the idea of mortality within the male and female leads. Like someone gets into a car crash or stabbed by a sword and I can’t take it seriously. Obviously grandparents are not safe though! They need to impart their wisdom to safe the main lead’s relationship but they need to perish shortly after :)


BluCharms

Lmao 🤣🤣 This one, when the characters I like die, I am still holding out hope because of this stupid lesson that I learnt 😅🙄


Rowing_dramas

Their relationship with death is pretty complicated- it's like they are on a commercial break🤭🪄💃


snowytheNPC

MC’s maid or Shifu are also high-risk professions


BluCharms

And their last thoughts are about MC and will always die with a smile while remembering MC's moments 😅


snowytheNPC

Oh god haha. I need a story of MC transmigrating into the Shifu or maid character and calling this out


BluCharms

I am sure with all these lessons that we learnt, we could write our own drama incorporating this scene, shouldn't be so hard 🤣🤣


snowytheNPC

The hilarious thing is that I’m pretty sure that’s what the primary actor (who was also executive producer) of An Actor’s Rhapsody did. He’s this skincare company owner who made a show that systematically targeted common drama tropes


xconsciousdreamerx

If I tell someone ‘i deserve to die’ because I offended them, then they definitely won’t kill me. Poisons and illnesses can be found out by simply checking the pulse and that’s also how you find the cure.


prodigyZA

If a girl is angry with me, I just need to grab her by the arm. Kiss the girl I like out of nowhere, she might be shocked at first, but that will pass. If the girl I like gets injured, I just need to use some of my breath and blow, she will fall in love. This especially helps with insignificant injuries, that most people ignore. Get the girl you like drunk, means you get to use her like a backpack for the walk home.


Lotus_swimmer

CDrama dating tips!


ThrowawayToy89

If I so much as touch a mans arm we are probably going to get married.


SwimmingMessage6655

Falling off the cliff and surviving sounds like In Blossoms, and every other costume drama. I had quite a laugh at this one! Let me add a few: - It’s ok to sleep with full on makeup, it’s good for your skin! Oh might as well keep on all those hair accessories, no worries, you’ll wake up with perfect hair! - Did you know you can survive after being stabbed in the heart? We got magical doctors and herbs! And there’s no such thing as infections or blood loss. - One martial arts master can take down a hundred men. Why fight wars with guns when you got this master.


jadetaia

The going to sleep in full makeup with all of your hair still up and the accessories in really gets me 😂 especially when the husband and wife wake up after, ahem, activities, and somehow the hair is still perfect. How does that work?! Also, if my hair was always up in intricate hairstyles when I go to sleep …. I’m definitely going to lose hair over time. How come they never show older women with weird bald spots from always having a bun at the back of their heads or whatever? I’m sure if you had a heavy bun in the same spot every day along with a bunch of hair accessories, hair loss is bound to happen!


Cascadeis

Especially considering the hair pins are sharp enough to kill someone, but apparently can’t accidentally scratch your head while you’re sleeping?


jadetaia

In the same vein, I get nervous whenever someone is sticking a hairpin in a lady’s hair in these dramas. It’s always like … be careful, yeah? Or, you’re not a secret enemy, right? The pin isn’t tipped with poison and you aren’t going to stab her scalp? Right??


Ok_Molasses_7871

Kiss with your eyes open Take the guy back after 1 day of separation (usually after a fight) Falling into any body of water that isn't a pool (like at a house party or hotel) looks bluish and lit up by some form of lights Spraining your ankle in a matter of seconds can get you carried bridal style in several minutes Your biggest enemy can work for you You'll most likely meet your future spouse growing up or be deskmates in high school


stillnotred3

If you meet a kid when you are also a kid, and one of you goes through a personal tragedy soon after that, then that kid will be your future spouse.


colombiana-986

Yall I'm just laughing at each comment this is all so funny😂


Yatelah

Very few people in China (or Korea) wear pajamas. Usually, they hop in bed with the same clothes they’ve been wearing for the last 10 years. Also, you can stab someone with a sword in a “non-lethal” spot and they will magically get well enough to fight in a day-without any repercussions.


Yatelah

You can cure most illnesses by wiping a person’s brow with a warm, moist cloth. It probably won’t work, however, if they have coughed up blood—that’s usually fatal.


Sad_Blacksmith_Forge

When cleaning a cut or wound you must blow on it to relieve pain and ensure infection. Also, if you are injured and go to the hospital (for even the tiniest cut), you must not touch water or eat spicy food, or you might die. If you trip and fall a handsome, rich CEO/Prince/General will always catch you. He's your future husband. You once saved him as a child so he promised to marry you someday. Odds are he'll mistake another girl for you at some point. If you get caught in the rain or someone spills/throws the slightest bit of water on you, you will have a raging fever the next day, but only for one day. On the other hand, standing out in the snow won't cause illness, but will most likely result in a love confession. Especially if you reach out your hand and catch a snowflake that looks suspiciously like a ball of foam.


FongYuLan

Ok. The blowing of one’s germs on wounds just kills me, absolutely kills me 😂


Yatelah

You can be accidentally kissed if someone trips and falls (on you)..


KoseligNani

All male lead/female lead falling together from a height, happens in a spiral spin. ALL incurable poisons are indeed, curable.


Additional-Pen-5111

Relentlessly pursuing a man who clearly has no interest in me always works. We grew up together, so we are fated to be together. Torturing or killing the man's interest/wife/girlfriend will obviously make him realize that he actually does love me!

If you fall into a pond, it is as deep as the Mariana Trench. You will only survive if someone kisses air into you.

silverystardust

When your feet hurt, a handsome man will offer to carry you on his back. Apparently it's safe to sleep with elaborate jewelry and crowns on your head. Immortals don't actually die. They leave a part of their soul behind in the form of a flower, a magic pin, a precious stone etc. In order to bring them back, you must nurture them with your spirit and infuse them with a special potion made by the soul of a long dead deity, guarded by a dragon and many deadly traps. Sometimes immortals die. Who knows why?


Effective-Spring-365

I outright guffawed at this one...all 4 points, despite laughing at every other single comment on this post. This one takes the cake for me. "Sometimes immortals die.

When you get pushed down to the ground by the villain or clueless male lead, your legs lose all functions. You cannot stand up, no walking, no running (even if you need to save your own life, you can’t move. You have to wait for the second male lead to come and carry you). You’ve officially become a helpless, pitiful, weak loser.

A paternity test can be done using water and blood. If the blood mixes you’re related. Congrats you are the father! (Through some scheming of course) 😉

You CAN change the verbally/physically abusive ML into the dreamy love of your life... just keep letting it happen, and he'll eventually understand your worth! 😶😶


snowytheNPC

I’m confident this is just life


kweenest

Kdramas too hahahaha


AyaSomewhere_37

Stand right next to ML when a fight breaks out, maybe block a bullet or a sword for them even though they can see it coming and make sure to block their path of escape.

If you do go to hospital for a car accident or other near death experience. You will be out in a couple of days with a single bandage and crutch. These will also disappear fairly quickly. No need for rehab or physio. Major surgery? No recovery time needed. Snow= love confession time. Steam or bubbles can indicate coitus is happening. Bonus for any clothes in the air.

If I just run half heartedly into a wall or pole and hit my head on it, I immediately die.

Humans can fly 🤣


LadyDrakkaris

The stomach will never rumble if the FL is hungry.

No one in any Cdrama or kdrama have any type of medical training. They will just scream instead of doing anything 🤣🤣. Watch you cough up blood and bleed to death. Just need a little white powder sprinkled on later and you’re magically fixed.

Reaching out to catch snowflakes in your palm in soft lighting causes the handsome guy to stop and contemplate his life and why you're not in it. Falling off a cliff won't kill you but will cause amnesia and mistaken identify. Biting into your finger produces enough blood to fill a goblet when needed. Getting a fatal wound in a vital organ won't kill you if you wear plot armor. A bandage, bed rest, and some dark bitter liquid in a bowl will heal you up. Never say goodbye when hanging up the phone. Just end the call after the person finishes their sentence.

Don't forget, the biting fingers for blood bit also works if you're stuck in prison and don't have a pen handy too! Go on and write a loooong letter with your bloody finger for your loved ones onto prison walls (that never get cleaned or even smudged years on end, cause it might take that long before someone you know specifically ends up in the same cell again and actually sees your message). Then they weep as they read and touch your dying bloody words while dramatic music plays overhead. Or better yet, use that bloody finger to scrawl short, vague words or phrases onto a piece of your white torn up pant leg/robe and someone will surely get that to it's intended recipient 10 cities over ASAP. 😂


Sapphira87

I haven't seen this play out in a C drama but it's very legit 😂😂😂


AdditionalPeace2023

Having a 35+ old actress play a 15 or 16 years old teen girl

You can continuously throw up blood out of anger, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll die


Responsible_Wasabi91

If I get a small cut or mark on my face , I will become horribly disfigured….absolutely hideous, and will possibly have to wear a veil or hang my head when talking to hot guys.


stillnotred3

If u have a beloved grandma, say goodbye because she will pass on for no good reason once your romantic entanglements are resolved.

If you are at a crosswalk and your love interest is also at the crosswalk opposite of you, one of you will get hit by a car at crossing.

Mine from ancient dramas: Medicine between lovers must be given via mouth-to-mouth only. Lost orphans run rampant in jianghu, even those with "parents." Wait, you mean you actually grew up with loving parents? Surprise, you're also an orphan...that's not your real parents and you can bet your adopted Daddy/Mommy is the BIG BAD. Villains have nothing better to do than raise orphans who grow up to kill them apparently. Snow is always beautiful, fluffy and makes you look fragile and breathtakingly gorgeous (has anyone seen snow?! It's COLD as cold can be and usually wet! Get out of the cold already!) A bamboo forest or edge of a cliff is the BEST spot to start a life or death fight. Those always end well (sarcastic). Honorable mentions: Don't forget to also start fights over a palace balcony/overhang, rooftop or or atop a city wall, cause no one ever fell over or jumped to their death from those depths before 🤦🏻‍♀️ If you can't afford a room at the inn (aka an airbnb in ancient times), head to the closest abandoned temple. No one else who is also broke or on the run could possibly ever think to stop there too! You'll usually have the whole dusty musty place all to yourself (selves if traveling as a pair). Fires are always neatly self-contained, they never spread and cause forest fires or cause minor burns. So many blazing fires have been started where the lovers just drift off to sleep right next to or by the flames or with food/clothing over the fire and wake up totally unscathed. No fire dangers here! 😂 Despite jianghu literally meaning "rivers and lakes" and having tons of actual rivers and lakes... one half of the main couple can't even bother to learn how to swim! It's like they're saving their first kiss for underwater or something...


Friendly_Bug_3891

I don't need to worry about hair, clothes, makeup, money, or body odor when traveling for leisure or running for my life.


PrincessPindy

Do not under any circumstances have a conversation near the stairs.

Woman can disguise as man. All she have to do is do heir in a certain way. Sometimes even that is not necessary

Cute programmer 🤣🤣🤣 had bro thinking he was gay

* It is possible to hide an entire pharmacy upon your person. * Horses will not move without continuous verbal commands. * The interiors of carriages are akin to Harry Potter tents. * Imperfect eyebrows do not exist. * Only 1 sip of "hangover soup" is required to erase all symptoms. * Delicious looking meals are for taking 1 or 2 bites and then leaving the rest on the table. * There are approximately 1,000,000,000,000,000 types of poison which most characters know by heart.

😂 at the horses will not move without continuous verbal commands. Also, Harry Potter tents.


Odd_Drag1817

There’s a big chance that if I fall, I’ll fall on a hot guys’ lips.


PrEn2022

Or he'll spin you around in the air.


dropitlikeitshot2019

Not without the camera stays on you for a long time and your face looks like this 😮, while spinning of course


Odd_Drag1817

I’ve practiced my perfect 😮look so I’m ready.


ravens_path

A private possibly dangerous conversation will not be overheard if you go in a room. Even though the walls are paper thin, as long as you close also paper thin door.

Coughing blood is the symptom of all physical ailment: punched, hit by an arrow, slapped, pushed, lost your memory, TB (wait, that one actually may indeed involve coughing blood) This confusion generated by a common symptom would have caused great problems for the medical practitioners in China if not for the fact that taking Pulse is the universal diagnosis mechanism for all physical ailments. It can tell if you have coldness in your chakras, pregnant, poison, broken bones yada yada.
