There's three commonly used phrases historically that reference gay, it's used in dramas often enough that I learnt…
In TLB Changge's uncle Li Shimin was Emperor Taizong of Tang, one of the greatest Chinese emperors. He did indeed kill his brother Li Jiancheng. And his oldest son, the crown prince tried to overthrow him with Du Ruhui. As per @Skibbies, it is known that he was homosexual so it is kind of funny in the drama he is so attached to that kid that keeps coming to play with him. Wei Zheng was one of the most famous Prime Ministers. TLB is like Secret of the Three Kingdoms a fictional story woven in between historical facts and characters.

Idk but I guess since Leyan is probably fictional she can be an older sister? I also love it that women just pretty don't count in history so you can invent endless numbers of daughters for these emperors...
If I remember correctly (please fact check me) WKS gave his to ZZS who gave it to Han Ying to give to Prince Jin. So Zhao Jing had 3 pieces + 1 piece he gave to Scorpion King. That is also why they collaborated with Tian Chuang's new leader I forgot his name. I only loosely kept track of where the pieces were so this is just my understanding.

The kiddie version of Li Chengqian also popped up in The Long Ballad... where he seems to meet his first boy friend/crush? LMAO!!! It always cracks me up because distorting history is a big no no so how do they tip toe around this?
You are not so smart...I know this may not be a popular opinion, but you let your the second male lead symptom…
Actually if you go back and watch one of the early episodes when they go to San Bai Manor, the rascally flirt WKS was openly admiring and heaping flowery praises on a bunch of the young scions of the various sects.
Finally understand the 'cutting sleeve' imagery. Apparently it's called "the passion of cut sleeve", an actual…
There were more than just one or two of them in Chinese history. Even the great classical novel Dream of the Red Chamber/Hong Luo Meng had a few parts depicting same sex love.
Awww...sweet ... they are starting to flirt with AS making his move and ChangGe doing the girl the hard to get…
It is mostly there. He also apologised for blaming her (for his foster mother). She said she owes him too much. AS: then stay and repay me slowly. Since I just saved your life, don't you owe me a toast? CG: Thank you, I am most grateful to you for saving my life. And then after he links the cups - CG: I am grateful does not mean I pledge myself to you [以身相许/yi shen xiangxu - this is the exact phrase Bai Qian used to ask Yehua to marry her in TMOPB - I would take from that that CG finally gets it that his feelings for her are romantic]. AS: It remains to be seen who gets the worse of that bargain. It was very good banter.
I'm dying for spoiler on the ending. Because it feels like one those dramas where everybody else dies.
We won't know since the manhua is incomplete although apparently Lusi did spill the beans that the ending is happy. I will just say that some high ranking Goturk military leaders in history did defect and become generals under Li Shimin/Taizong. I think one even married his sister. So there are clues as to how things may end up for Ashile Sun and Changge.
Kekeke...his character is of a weak man. He has no backbone. He is ok if everything is normal and ok. Even if…
无为 is a Taoist concept of doing nothing and letting things run their own course. It also underpins a laissez faire concept of government. I think for this story and for Changge it has many layers of meaning that I can't help feel is beyond Shuyu's grasp. Basically Shuyu doing nothing is innate and not as a result of any effort or wisdom or understanding of the bigger picture on his part. In Cantonese it is often used an an insult to describe a pointless or useless person or action.
He's seriously the most unnecessary character here. He deserves a good spanking.
I don't know about the manhua butI think he is just thrown in there conveniently to make his Leyan look good / give Leyan an excuse to hang around in Luoyang.
