they're showing some old hollywood movies at the cinema but it's on mondays at 19:30.... i'm literally still working ☹️

— The Importance of Being Earnest (1952)

« It had always been a girlish dream of mine to love someone by the name of Ernest. There is something in that name that seems to inspire absolute confidence. Indeed, I pity any poor married woman whose husband is not called Ernest. »

algernon was kinda relatable for this

magnolia used to be one of my grandmother's favourite flowers. today i walked past her old home and saw them in full bloom 🌷🤍

istg this chest can't have been here the whole time

OMG

minglan dissing manniang and she ain't even married to gu tingye yet lol but it was sooo satisfying seeing her stand up for her friend and save her from that bitch

minglan's speech about the impact of scandal on a woman's reputation vs a man's and STILL qi heng keeps missing the point.... they really weren't made for each other. he never understood her

— Rental Family (2025)

« Sometimes all we need is someone to look us in the eye and remind us we exist. »

insane how all my favourite laufey renditions are from her live albums. what a voice!

when minglan said to her grandmother "in front of you, i will always be a child and never grow up" i FELT that 🥺❤️

call me too chinese but sometimes i really think we should go back to holding parents responsible for their children's behaviour. half of the morons and criminals we see around today lack discipline and guidance at home.

oh. one thing you won't see in a harem drama is the main wife selling the concubine to a slave broker while the husband is away 😂 i know her plan will never succeed but it's still satisfying to witness the scene

tiger mom and kitten dad fr

welcome home marsha 🫶🏻

wait how come i've never noticed this melania garment? it's so pretty and the colours are so satisfying !!

as usual, sending a kiss on both cheeks to r1999 artists

medpoc insane serve

what a hypocrite 😂

same energy lmaoo

chinese mothers have been sending off their children to national scale life-changing examinations for centuries now 😂

the trouble with qi heng is, however nice and well-intentioned he may be, he really isn't the right match for minglan. he's too self-absorbed in his own feelings to even realise that his affections might inconvenience her

he professor sure knows how to pick a topic..... dropped the equivalent of an atomic bomb and now the whole class is taking it to a different, more personal level 😂

"not wanting women to learn and educate themselves is a shortsight. throughout all dynasties and generations, which woman from a great aristocratic family wasn't versed in books and principles?" PREACH GRANNY

god this is so heartbreaking

zhao liying has some really solid acting in this drama but the elderly cast is outshining everyone else. esp the big madam, she may look overdramatic and exaggerated in her movements but the frustration, pain and rage that boils in her eyes when she sees her daughter beaten looks so real.

WHACK THAT BITCH FOR ME

making minglan take the beating too was such a move... it's also a slap in the father's face, reminding him that when he only punished rulan and minglan a few episodes ago he was in the wrong

kong momo is so smart. exposing ALL the girls fault and forcing the father to face them, even when he'd gladly turn away. for a split second, he's forced to admit that his precious fourth daughter isn't as innocent and nice as he'd like to believe.
