Today on LaT Is On Her #NirvanaInFire Bullshit, I want to talk about this little exchange (incl. Zhen Ping’s face), the poison of the bitter flame, and why I’m still mad, months later, about someone calling Prince Jing stupid because of his “blind loyalty.” First up: what are we even doing here?!
You will need to get used to the fact that — despite having one of the best baritones in Chinese film & TV — he’s dubbed by someone else throughout, but he spends the whole 8 episodes looking like this, in increasingly 🔥 fits:
I’m on vacation for the next two weeks so I’m extra on my #NirvanaInFire and Wang Kai bullshit, and today I want to talk about how funny this scene is to me. The *minute* Zhuo Dingfeng clocks that he’s looking at Prince Jing’s lieutenant, he’s like, “Nah, we gotta dip.”

You know what would’ve been more effective than dismissively assuming someone who said something you disagree with didn’t read the article? Sharing one of the best bits from it that is specifically about how to treat women:
Today on “LaT Won’t Shut Up About #NirvanaInFire,” let’s talk about the brilliant political theater that is the Emperor’s Birthday Party™️ in Ep 53. In particular, this line of dialog to character shot transition — “Who asked you all to treat me this way?!”:
Honestly, this is what happens when you don’t have backup plans to The Plan. If everything relies on your target losing their temper, what happens when they keep their cool? Could it be that you end up looking foolish?!
Nirvana in Fire is a comedy. Xia Jiang was SO SURE he knew how this was gonna go, but watch his face as the supposedly ill-tempered, unruly one *takes his ass to school*:
Today on “LaT Won’t Shut Up About #NirvanaInFire,” let’s talk about why Project Gaslight Prince Jing™️ is such an intra- and meta-textual berserker button for me. But first! Receipts for everyone in fandom who likes to act like he never figured it out before he’s explicitly told in Episode 49:
