Looking through your eyes will only cause blindness...

Also known as Miao Yongji 妙永姬.

I'm more of the type of person who's hypocritical (in a way, no matter how much I'll hate to admit it, it's true...), clever (but very, very slow :D?) and for some reason, loves physics, married men, Asian dramas, and a couple of other people. I'll always be interested in the Three Kingdoms, but sometimes I hop between some other things, like Historical Fiction, Mythology, Philosophy, and out of nowhere, physics. Nonetheless I am a sino-phile and that will probably never change. D:

To My Duke

The garden boy, the painter, the ass,
Needless to say, your brain has too high an atomic mass.
You think I’m cheating? You think I’m a whore?
You’d wish you were right if you knew what I was after of yours.
You’re a wealthy and infamous man, no doubt.
I’ve seen your statuettes and paintings day in and day out.
I know you own that textile-producing, child-labor factory …
But you didn’t know your career was at its peak of trajectory.
You call out in your empty garden, “I’m bound to money! I’m bound to wealth!”
“Any woman who doesn’t want me is only fooling herself!”
You indeed think you words are wise, cryptic and astute,
But you’re nothing except a fat, lascivious fruit!
All you wish for is pleasures of the human flesh,
Which will drive you to nothing close to your success, only your grave, your rest.
You learned very quickly that women are never to be trusted,
And easily with a flick of your sleeves, had your small life adjusted.
An assassin dealt with me that day, with such skill no blood fell on his blade,
“Farewell, this fine earth,” I bade;
I can no longer steal your jewelry nor your joy
I guess killing me was your only clever choice.

There was a poem read in my Creative Writing English Class called "My Last Duchess". For extra credit, our teacher Sharon Lustbader (best-est-est english teacher FTW) allowed the class to write a response, as the POV of the 'last' Duchess, the next Duchess, the servants, whatever, and about ten people did it. This was my response, and though I suck at poems, I'm actually satisfied with this one. Yay to physics refrence :D

The Melody flows with the heart. Those in search of love will be led to the source of music. Do you know what love is? Indescribable, yes. Love flows from deep within your heart, but you don’t know where it comes from, or where it’s going. Even the most beautiful of poetry only depicts the elementary of love, but not the true meaning of it. Love is formless; you can’t hold on to it, nor can you get rid of it. If you can grasp it, it is no longer love. You’ll understand the true significance of love only after you lose it. Then, from the ashes of agony will you experience the meaning of love.”
-Moon Demon, 倩女幽魂

I actually wrote a fic on 倩女幽魂, which isn't published here. When I first heard this from the drama (which yes, has an English translation, but makes much more sense in the original language) I realized how everyone's story was well-rounded off except for that of the Moon Demon's. So I wrote a short piece to round off her story.
(Of the characters, I think I'd find Zhuge Liang most like the Moon Demon's so called crush, the Demonic Advisor Jin Wuyuan, but Yue Ying is nothing close to the Moon Demon. She's actually more like the Empress Yinyue, or even Jin Wuyuan's sister...)

To compose a couplet or a song,
To tell the difference between right and wrong
To trust fate and to be strong,
To make challenges entertaining and long,
To love the place where you belong,
To be my hero, Zhuge Liang
Are the prime essences of every Truong.

Some random work I wrote for a Creative Writing English class. I love poetry but I suck at composing my own.

Notes on fics
1. Ru Ying Sui Xing (RYSX) - This is one of my earlier stories. There are some grammar errors, and one fatal error involving Zhuge Jun.
2. The Second Generation of the Three Brothers - N/A
3. Mt. Ding Jun I tried to fit this into what really happened at Dingjun Shan ... not all accurate.
4. A Ying Thing - This story is a lil contradictory to Zhuge Liang's attitude to Yue Ying; is it Beauty or Radiance that attracts him?
5. Black Wealth - N/A
6. Blazing Impact - N/A
7. Omniscience - Once again, trying to limit the use of courtesy-names
8. Alliance, Defiance - N/A
9. Divine White Dragon - Discontinued. You can email me for the supposed ending.
10. Goddess In Gold-Trimmed Armor - A few misconceptions with Zhuge Liang's and Yue Ying's relationship. Nonetheless it "fits" with DW.
11. Peanuts and Mooncake: Filling Festival - http:///index.php?showtopic=12209&st=0
12. Chrysanthemum Flowers: Chunhua's arrival - I don't think I ended this well enough. There was no closure between Yue Ying and Chunhua.
13. Sacrifices in an Empty Moon: The End of the Three Kingdoms - I'm not really satisfied with it, but what the hey, its done D:
14. Birth Throes - I am the most satisfied with this fic than all others. LOVE IT! lol I think I may have made some problems on the amount of MONTHS Yue Ying was pregnant ... and "Chengdu" castle described is more of a Eurpoean-style castle rather a Chinese method of apartments-and-chambers.
15. Fairytale Prince - The real title of Tong Hua is Almost Fairytale. I just thought Fairytale Prince would suit as a better title. Yes the story is really quick and the plot is unclear, but it was a promise I made a while ago ... so I forced myself to write it.
16. Cold Wine - I think this fic really catches the mood. I'm very satisfied with it. ;)
17. Hero: Triumph - Numerous themes here. Emotions ... Yue Ying;'s definition of what a hero (yingxiong) is ... and more. I'm also satisfied with it. Unfortunately I could not make it shorter XD
18. Scholar Warriors: Two Lessons Learned - According to Wiki, Yue Ying's mother (Lady Cai) was the sister of Liu Qi's mother (also Lady Cai), so they're cousins by marriage. This relationship will be exposed again in my next fic, "HunchBack Shiyuan"
19. The Snow Lotus of Mount Tai - Inspired by Duke of Mount Deer 2000 (drama) and the song Dao Xiang by Jay Chou.
20. Redemption and Retribution - http:///index.cgi?board=miaocai&action=display&thread=3158
