There's a bunch on YouTube, and![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)
foxghost has been subbing a bunch of them! Here are a bunch of my faves. I've chopped them into stuff that's purely drama, and stuff that uses the drama footage to construct an arc more like the novel's. Classification at least partially arbitrary. If a video is unavailable, that means that it's secretly unembeddable, and you have to watch on YouTube.
Drama
"The story of great official Ximen and Jinlian-meimei". Technically a cracky AU, courtesy of the music, but hey! Oh, and there's some implied sex edited in with butt shots, so nsfw.
AU in which the sex doll Changcheng buys is actually a sex bot called Shen Wei. Hilarious enough that it makes the list despite the Japanese BGM.
Finally something that fits my conception of a vid! (No/very little dialogue pasted on, yay!) It's very very interesting, and again I am all here for anything that brings up that Shen Wei is considered a traitor.
"Young and Beautiful". Aww, Shen Wei's maiden heart. Of course Zhao Yunlan will love him, even if he somehow manages to become old and ugly.
"24-hour marriage". Does some pretty nice things with clips!
Novel
"Fate exists", a fansong to the novel. I like the lyrics and melody. "The fate of all those who rise to live is to fall" etc.
"Heroes". I dislike the jerkiness of the editing, but the vid actually tries to accomplish a bit of plot at the end, and the music doesn't send me to sleep, so it stays.
"A writ for lasting peace". A bit slow, but the waltz-y rhythm is nice.
I think this counts as a book trailer?
"Animals", which is very very novelverse.
Ooh, that's more than a week of a post a day, with this one! I'll continue the roll until at least Sunday. Any topic requests are appreciated – as are additional vid recs!
