All your playlists are brilliantly done! I listen to them when I'm trying to get in the mood for writing, and you seem to have one for every setting :)
This is what I have been looking for all my life, and when I said "all my life" I literally mean all my life! I am so grateful to have found your channel! ❤❤❤ I can't thank you enough!
Please keep making these chinese themed playlists! As someone who has not returned to my motherland for 2 decades, this brings me home again to my roots
People in the comments got motivated to read, write and study while I get the feeling that I'm the heart broken girl from Chinese ancient times. When I was at the mansion, waiting for my husband, the general to come home after a big war. It was the day they come back and I was so excited to see him after parting for a year. I ran to the front door as his troop came into our mansion but they all looked so down and sad. I asked them as I search for him, "where's the general?" and then I found out he gave his life to protect the emperor.
I was imagining myself as the girl who was sold to enter the palace instead of the actual girl. To be selected as the wife of a prince. When times were unstable. N I was told to kill my husband on wedding night. Before that happened I started to like his gentle nature his loving compassionate eyes that looked at me with adore n love. But then when the time came to actually kill him, I give up, n ran away.
This cloth of silk bright red bears no shade to the blood you bled This crown I wear not heavier than your lifeless figure, cold, dead The power I wield cannot bring you back to life You left me alone suffering, in agony, despair and strife Why my love? Was this your plan, to leave me and be in peace? My influence is vast yet it cannot even reach deaths domain A chance to sacrifice all of my entirety I shall offer without a doubt If it means to release you from deaths grasp My emperor, my god, my love Why did you abandon me? I could sacrifice thousands for you Yet you chose death and dishonor rather than have me stained with sin Sinner of sinners I could be as long as we're together But my dear, you chose to sacrifice it all for me But now, it all meaningless without you I sit here above yet I cannot reach you any further Your presence still embraces my lonely shell I am not blind yet now I cannot see what I wanted to have Rest easy my love, soon we shall be reunited This life isn't worth living if you're not with me I shall enter with confidence and a smile on deaths door In the afterlife we shall be together again, forevermore
The knife at my your neck… strong… The swords at your chest… fearless… Your body flows like water… dancing through the night, stolen my burden heart. An enemy from a different nation… I shouldn’t weaver… Yet, your presence, one glance, one movement… your reflection was captured. Everywhere I go you go, everywhere I see you see… am I being possessed by your undying beauty. A love once so great, yet many sacrifice… a bittersweet embrace, A path chosen for us. We walk along with each other through this thorny journey, we fight agains all odds… and yet we achieve nothing but pain… If there is such things as next life… I pray for you and I to be normal people and live in a peaceful world with our own choices and happiness…
She had fought many warriors in her youth. She watched the rising and fallings of her kingdom from her humble throne, unable to do a single thing as an immortal. She was a pillar of hope in her nation, a beauty, a one of a kind and so much more. Beloved by all, men and women, children and old. In her first 17 years of living, she was a warrior in her kingdom's army. Valiant and kind but ruthless on the battle field. And on that said battlefield, she met her. A powerful, hostile, and very beautiful female general of the opposing kingdom. The two clashed constantly, their forces evenly matched. Neither one could ever fully push the other close to death without they themselves being on the brink as well. For many, many years they fought, and throughout those years, they found love in eachother. The two wanted nothing more than to run away from this life and live a peaceful one. Her love decided enough was enough, and committed treason against her own kind to live beside her. But the curse of immortality would mean that she would be forced to watch the love of her life and her people fall to the hands of others. And now she was the empress of a beautiful and peaceful kingdom, That no longer exists.
It's so beautiful and sad. I think all chinese music sounds like a tragic story. Please, if you like the chinese aesthetic, then make playlists with it more often. I love every playlist of yours, sometimes i just don't have the words to comment on how beautiful it is 😭💞
She is beautiful. She is powerful. Her heart is guarded, and it has been wounded once again. She stands at the edge of a precipice, but her people need her. She wants to let go of everything, but she cannot. She has to go on. The pain is tearing her soul apart, but the people count on her. She is a nationnal treasure, she is a precious gem, shining with a red glow. Determined and brave she is... How can she keep standing strong? She is the queen. She just does. She has to.
I love Chinese instruments; there's so much soul in each note, with no need of lyrics to tell a rich and consuming story. Frankly, I just wish I'd had this when I was binge-reading Yona of the Dawn; it would have suited that perfectly.
Ah, I'm early. I enjoy being introduced to other cultures' music so much! I've quite liked the other chinese instrumental playlists, and the arabian nights playlist was lovely too.
"My most precious star. My love for years; you ended up destroying me more than I thought and imagined. I loved you with my soul, even if our love was not normal.. You were the one who loved me as is without even being able to touch me, and you showed me that someone like me could also be loved... Now I just have to keep accepting that you decided to go your way now without me. And even if at some point we forget about each other; I can tell you for sure that you were the one I loved the most in my entire life. My great and only love... thank you for showing me that I can love with such intensity..."
I used this video countless of times whilst reading 'Daughter of the Moon Goddess' by Sue Lynn Tan. Her writing was so beautiful and was brought off the page with the music. I think words and music go so well together. I would definitely suggest this playlist if you read the book. Every moment just seemed perfect and so was the book! My greatest thanks for this!♡
Timestamps with main points for myself for a storyyy: ------ 0:00 - 0:36 Story's Intro 0:37 Setting The Play: Two prominent pieces on the board; a humble empire nestled in the lush and sun grey, misty ranges of a mountain bowl, and another placed far to the East, land of sun and summer wind. 4:11 The Palace, Her Majesty, and the Land of the East: A grand palace that basks in sun, blanketed in stars by night. Each soul holds the other in the heart, joining hands and pushing as the splashes of a stream, to pass spirit on. 9:57 The Empress: Such beauty there was in the land that the dark could not plant itself. It fled to the corners of the most obscure places, afflicting her majesty's heart. Still, all her chambers remained filled with wood chamber song. Aspirations and sweet tuning kept the life alight of the days soothing. 13:26 Arrival of The Hour: The slow, dreadful rising of life's reminiscence- and rue. Lord's adversary had arrived in no haste, with sword, and neat plating, with scars, and little else in saying. All her moments meld and mesh, an amalgamation of bittersweet turmoil, no words to speak what was felt or what went. Only a sea of juxtaposition, feeling and numbing, and the prolonged, watchful silence. 15:56 The Emperor: His wooden flute, their orchestra, and a granted finality. In a state of utter dire, a melody sings into the night as the group of strangers permit a last encore of a moving dream. 19:03 The Empress: Her revelation and a final wish come true. A moment of eternity in true freedom before death. Petals from above fall, and this world slows as the mind wanders away, forgetting her penalty. 21:07 A Return: The moment flitters away, only lasting for so long. But the newfound beauty is strong despite the scene, imprinting on her heart and his, so she returns. And the world again churns. 23:28 The Truth: It is hard. Deeply so. The wound bleeds, as the thought surfaces. Such a kind man, to slay the manic lover and attempt to spare the empress of an undeserved death, unknowing of the love's poison that was wrenching away her conscience. She is caught before the fall, and there is no more to this scene. 25:12 Unknown home: A new set is laid. She is unaware, far lost within the fog of a poisoned body. In a foreign land, she is no one, her people she held dear and they as well, in return. But she is an empress nonetheless. Strength is a hope to be kept alight. 27:18 The Wait: Neither eyes awaken, body still and weighted. But the tightening on the soul lessens, and the heart moves and her ears do listen by the ongoing days, to the whispering of attendants and maids and passer-by's. Of this, what she hears most profoundly are the words of a lovely script, and a deep voice. The crinkling of pages trail, and if lucky, the song of a flute made of wood thereafter. 30:19 Promising Day: Perhaps she had asked for a small ensemble, because at once there was light, revived life, music... and a careful hand, both careful and caring behind the drapes of an unchanging exterior. There was no need to rise, it was more than enough. But every day, season by season, she did. Blue'ed brambles regained their color and youth to at last flower and bloom. There was much stumbling. More than one could count. And many musical days and nights of quiet reading, in solitude, but never lonely or alone. She would fall and the emperor would sweep the current in a manner of a graced crescent eagle to reverse the descent and its ails. Company was so desperately sought, though the notion was never uttered or faced by either. 32:54 Shared Revelation: -- Tldr: Two kingdoms have ruled peacefully until the reign of the newly-crowned Eastern Emperor and his betrothed (& arranged) empress. His majesty mishandled his citizens' well-being and is abusive to the Empress. A tyrant now reigns. Her Majesty takes solace in caring for her people, roaming the gardens, & summoning small orchestral ensembles to listen to or play along with. Word spreads, the Emperor of the South upholds the truce & slays the tyrant. He grants her majesty a final wish to hear music, and they play. He wishes to spare her, but she faints to her fiancé' poison (stabbed) prior. She awakes in the foreign land of the South, but is in a semi-conscious coma. After healing after the passing of many seasons, His majesty helps her, and though they don't speak much, they bond. Over time, this bond turns to love, and the rest is history.
I am not Chinese but I enjoy the music and culture so much like in the movies, drama and animations especially the traditional ones I am in love with the older Chinese traditions and music's
Edit: (Ha... this is one actually about two of my characters). Soft. Oh, so soft. So gentle, so sweet, so calming was the touch of the creature at her side. His face, covered in angry red markings and hiding a sly smirk as he kissed up her arm. His lips twisted as he whispered sweet nothings up into her ear, the words slithering like a viper and feeling just as poisonous. She raised a hand up, one decorated with ruby rings and golden bands. Her cream-colored fingers touched his fiery hair, the color her favorite and yet the most despised one in her heart. She watched quietly, her golden hues staring with amusement, as the red locks slid between her fingers, each one softer than the last. However, as his hair slipped between her grasp, she slowly sat up, letting it fall out of her hands and back onto the comfortable fur blanket around them. She let one hand remain behind her, helping her to stabilize her body in that moment. She let her other hand splay itself across the bed, her red painted fingertips catching the edges of the fur, staining them a deep crimson as well. Ah... that was not paint, now, was it? No. It was blood. Blood of one of her jewels lying beside her bed. He was dead, his hands missing and most likely somewhere in the room. She shed a small glance towards the body before looking at her lover of the hour... her advisor. He stared back up at her, his black sclera and red pupils blown wide with ecstasy. Of course, he was not her lover by choice... no, he never had been. He was the one who dragged her into this, who made her who she was. "... leave me. Clean this mess... I am tired Respin..." Her voice was soft, holding an edge of a desperate tone. She wanted him gone for now. Perhaps he had some way of influencing her that she just had not figured out yet. He was an excellent tactician, a man with a silver tongue, and one who knew exactly how to destroy an enemy from the inside out. Her body flinched involuntarily as she felt the bed shift. A hand wormed its way up her back, black claws lightly dragging themselves up and leaving soft red scratches behind. That same hand made its way into her golden locks, pulling on them slightly and forcing her to turn her head back to him. "Of course, Your Majesty... I could never disobey your words my loving queen..." The breath she was holding escaped her lips, a frigid chill brushed across the edges of her body as he moved swiftly off the bed. He gave her one of his smiles... the kind that always made her stomach twist up into knots. If it was not for him... if he had never done this to her... she was happy! She had been! The youngest daughter of the Hearts' Empire. The sweetest one, the most beloved... she had four elder sisters... each fighting for the crown in their own way, but she was left alone... for she was too young to inherit it... but the people adored her... and they clamored for her to be the next empress. Her sisters, jealous and stuck in misery, plotted against her. And... and Respin... he came to her... he whispered sweet words in her ear... he promised her everything if she did as he said. 'Kill them,' she could remember his voice, so tantalizing sweet like the juice of a ripe peach, 'You belong there... they hold no love for you... you know that... you know they hate you... kill them... destroy them... if you do not do it... then they will do the same to you... you could have everything... everything you have ever wanted...' And like Eve ate the apple from the snake, so did she do as he commanded. With him by her side, it was over in a matter of weeks. No more was the sweet girl, the gentle one, the angelic one... no... she was bloody... she was bathed in the crimson wreckage of her family. But... it did not end there. She was in love. Oh! Oh, how she had been in love! A man... a commoner... the one she adored and the one she had loved since she was but a child. She took him. She took him as her husband, she made him king. She ignored Respin's desire to be by her side and took the man she had adored since young. However, the man did not love her in return. No, it was a marriage of force... one that the empress was too blind to see that she was causing the pain. But, out of this marriage came her two joys in life, her twin boys... and yet... even this peace was taken from her. Respin weaseled his way in again, fed her lies... told her that her husband was unfaithful. He swore on his life that he had seen him with another woman, a maid. She wanted to believe the best... but for once, the fox's lies turned out to be true. Broken hearted, emotionally destroyed, and on the last edge of sanity... she killed her husband just as she killed her past family. Oh, but she could never hurt her sons! Oh never! They were her prized possessions. Lonely, stuck in grief, and constantly searching for affection... Respin convinced her to take on a harem... one full of men who would never deny her... lest they be slaughtered in return. She accepted this advice and thus stole men from their wives, taking them for her own. The world turned on her then, with Respin always by her side, a hand always on her shoulder, always whispering sweet words into her ears. "Alicina... do not despair... he was but a fool who disobeyed... you know you had to do it... otherwise, where would his loyalty have gone? To another woman? Oh Alicina..." Poor Alicina. Poor little girl. Poor little mother. Poor little wife. Poor little empress. The empress of blood. The empress of malice. The empress of nothing. That's what she was... just the empress of nothing. She was but a puppet for Respin's pleasure... for his own enjoyment of misery and suffering. And she knew this. She knew it well. And yet, he still turned her head and pulled her strings. Her head slowly brought itself to rest in her hands, her breathing turning heavy as her chest heaved back and forth. Tears leaked from her eyes, slipping down her hands and falling onto the fur below, churning the soft red colors into a muddied dark brown. "Poor Alicina! Poor woman! That's what I want them to say when I die! Oh, wretched Alicina! Oh, so FOOLISH ALICINA! So foolish! So... so foolish..."
Where are these images from? They are stunning. As a Chinese woman this music speaks to me on a deep, deep level. It feels like I’m feeling the sorrow of all of my ancestors.
Honestly speaking every playlist of yours is absolutely made with so much care. Not just in this playlist but in others too every song in your playlist fits so well and I don't need to skip a single song. The choice of songs is so beautiful and fits with the theme. Thank you for making beautiful playlists this is one of my favorite channel
Jealousy in the darkness grew, her love for one, but not for the other. In silence, dagger in hand, he waits for his brother. A slash, the groan of one so dear, she watches as he slowly dies. With him her being longs to fly. Her heart is broken, her lover gone; She died away before the dawn.
This is beautiful as the chance meeting of a dessert spoon impregnated with chocolate and a plastic bottle without a protective cap, on the edge of a devastated heath covered with weeds following a succession of bad weather caused by a depression coming from northern Europa 💥
Aaaaahhhhhh!! 🗣️ I've arrived!! These oriental vibes is ✨✨ so perfect as a reading bgm, especially since Chinese New Year just happened a week back or so...This playlist reminds me a little of Shangri-la, a paradise, distant, and separated away from the world. A little soulful and melancholic. 🥲
@@yuecubed it's not late, you've made it!🎊🥳🎉 There's a little CNY mood left...when I look out the window the decorations are still there. Personally I'm still munching on leftover festive snacks😎🤏✨ It feels overdue cause' valentine's is just round the corner. And I'm glad my comments had such a effect on you. That's the best compliment I'd received!!💗
This music is like calm sadness … not crying not showing… not keeping it in.. but it’s there … flowing thru your body but not hurting… a peaceful sadness … I think that’s the word… but good/ weird feeling whenever I listen to Chinese instrumental music like this. ❤ amazing 0:17
Just mixed a lot of concepts and cooked up a story while listening to this playlist. They are really cool!💖 It was almost as if you lived another life. Your mornings for the past few years have been filled with scenarios, otherworldy places, and faces that you have never seen or felt before. As you put your coffee to heat you can't help but compare the monotonous life you lived in your conscious state to your mystic subconscious. You were probably drawn more and more to them every passing night; especially him. His voice, the way he smiles, his long flowy attire, the way he always paints under that tree near the pond in the royal gardens, and the way you admire him through the huge windows from your palace chambers. the way he gently held your hand while teaching you a new brushstroke, the way you could feel the curves of his lips, the way he felt against your fingertips. Even though everything else felt like a dream, your beloved was the only thing that felt almost real, lingering around you even when you were wide awake, fully functioning, working, and... "Are you listening to me or not?, You don't ever seem to pay attention to me Hina, what's with you these days?"..... on dates. Your boyfriend entirely disrupted your trail of thoughts. Ah! yes, Jun the ultimate, he was introduced to you through a friend of a friend of a friend and You started dating him when you were still in college. He also ghosted you for about 4 dates before finally taking you seriously. “ Hina? Jesus Hina are you even here?! _No, I miss him, I want to see him again, I am going home._ “ What the fuck Jun will you let me breathe?, Plus why are you talking so much today, aren’t you usually too busy to even get some coffee with me? “ I am trying to make up for it aren’t I?” He replied angrily. _Goodbye._ ” I am a little tired today, lets's do this some other time”, you said and just left. Sometimes you were concerned for your mental health? Were you going crazy? sometimes you felt you were cheating on Jun with the man of your dreams. You even had a crazy theory that he was Jun from his past life but that quickly faded away when you slowly fell out of love with him. You didn’t know, what you were feeling, what you were seeing and why you were seeing them again and again except for one thing, you would even fight the nightmares those imperial courtyards sometimes gave you, if it meant seeing him once again. As you plopped on your bed ready to let go of the day and let yourself drift away you saw it once again…. The patterned beams and decorative exteriors, the bridge leading to your chambers, it was all the same "Princess, where have you been you have a guest, guess who" a familiar giggling voice called out for you, it was your lady in waiting Mei. " Your usual spot go ahead, I'll cover for you" _I know this usual spot, the northern side of the water gardens behind the back palace. That area is pretty uninteresting and secluded as it is far away from the chambers of the Empresses and consorts of the Imperial harem and according to Mei, easier to hide and escape right into the royal gardens before anyone caught us. I haven't yet figured out the situation around him and me but it must be forbidden according to the rules of the palace it seems._ As your feet ecstatically move forward to your location you couldn't help but sense something wrong. _Maybe the environment, Mei's statement, or even me. Maybe I'll see him and get better? As I make my way towards the gardens hiding from the back palace I see his tall figure standing there waiting for me. He embraces me tightly yet lovingly as soon as he sees me. Ha! It's baffling cause I have never been this happy and desperate to be in a man's arms. I guess we are a lot more closer and intertwined than I thought._ "I'm sorry princess but this will be the last day I will meet you here, I cannot see you anymore, this is the end". _Huh, what? wait a min I can"t._ Your legs felt jiggly, and your mind went blank, before you knew tears started forming in your eyes. A lot was going on in your mind but it constantly felt like you knew something, something you don't remember. "Before I go I just want you to know that my love for you will not be shaken by any external pressure, I don't care what Cheif son has to say or what the Empress Dowager is plotting against you, as long as you keep me in your heart I will return to you even as an unwanted man or even as dust. From the moment you ever touched me I have devoted my entire life towards you, Princess Lea." There, There it was! your sadness confusion and misery were slowly started to envelop with fear too. Your eyes were not just tears anymore it was mixed with terror. It was as if this name triggered something; your entire world started spinning, red smoky flames engulfed your surrounding, you wanted to run but your feet were ice-cold, your heart was pounding and your ears drowned in those same hellish screams that you dreaded the most. Those nightmares were here, those same things you always feared and disliked. Strangely this nightmare was not a deja vu anymore, the palace beams, the water gardens, those peculiar flower patterns on the walls, the imperial throne, the blood on your hands, empress dowager, and most importantly, your mother. You found yourself in that cursed imperial courtyard again as you wept uncontrollably, your name and his last words to you echoed in your brain, slowly becoming so painful that you were unable to breathe....until, a long silence embraced you, and you slipped into the time when it all began.
thank you so much for this playlist! ive always loved watching historical chinese dramas and i love how beautifully a love story can be told with just music. this playlist reminded me of my favourite series, "The Legend of Mi Yue", so thank you
aaaa! im imagining my oc in her attire, walking down the woodland onto a bridge, looking graceful as ever as she longs for her lover :((( AAAAAAA CHINESE STUFF JUST HIT DIFFERENT UGHH AND FOR CONTEXT SHE'S THE VILLAIN OF THE STORY MY FRIENDS ARE WRITING SO ITS SO FITTING
This gives me chills and goosebumps feel very sad, this is beautiful music that reminds you dark times as women who were empress had to endure and tragedies. 😭
MINI STORY TIME!! Her Daughter was childish, Her herself was powerful, henceforth her being kind and gentle, she would not enforce such power that she wields onto her daughter. Her Daughter was filled with joy, Her Herself was delicate, so delicate that a flower petal would lose its own delicacy Her Daughter was Curious, Her Herself became worried, She was a loving woman, only to fall in love oh so quickly Her Daughter soon came of age, Her Herself knew that he was gone forever, he had fought for her and her daughter, only to never return Her Daughter finally asked, Her Herself told, His story was shared to her daughters life Her Daughter had Questioned, "Why did you fall in love, if you already knew he would die for us" Her Herself said " You see ChiLei, one heart cannot be shared by a crowd, but a mind can be shared by many, I knew, He knew, that what we had to do was fall in love, i loved your father dearly Chilei, but we all must learn, everybody's time must come, and his did, but he didnt just die to die, he died for us, his death was one that will be honored for decades to come, and just know, you will learn when your time comes aswell my little sunflower" Her Daughter was now queen, Her mother stood by and watched her be crowned Her Daughter ruled for long, but soon grew old, Her Herself loved her dear daughter Chilei her Daughter soon passed, Her Herself losing both of the ones she cared for the most Her Herself could not die, since she was a celestial Since The Immortal LianHua could not die, she guarded her heart safe and locked it away from those who might take it only for her heart to stay honorable and loving to her daughter, Chilei, and her Husband, SuYi She watched over them at there graves, hugging them in imagination, And they watch over her from the heavens up above To one who must be lost, to many who must go, ones time is found, and many are there to embrace that change a Spirit can be held and honored by those around you, and not yourself A Honorable Sacrifice, is a brave, but wise choice and That's all she ever knew since and brave, wise, and honorable was what her and her family were
Okay so...I really love your work and appreciate every video of your channel! So I have this weird question for you... Can you do an: Pov: you are lost in the planet Mars because your spaceship broke, and now you have to find a way out of there because you can't live there forever so you going to mission to find new materials to fix your spaceship but without any help. VERY SPECIFIC LMAO BUT IDK WHAT SONG I SHOULD PUT AND SINCE YOU ARE A RULER OF THIS WORLD IN THE PLAYLISTS SECTION I THOUGHT YOU COULD HELP THANKS ANYWAAAAYY LOVE YA AND YOUR CONTENT!!!!!!!!!!
Omg yue, this is gonna be my second favorite playlist, I tell you. Instrumental.. I love this. Thanks for this playlist :chefkiss: :lovehug: Much luvvvvvvvv.. 💖💖💖💖💖💖
If I were an empress, I don't think I could survive that lifestyle. I would become insane from all the pressure placed upon me by the Imperial Court, having to watch what I do, where I go, and what I say, because I don't know who could be spying on me and how they will try and frame me; having to examine what I eat and drink, or the medicine that I consume, or the perfume that I use, because I don't know if it is poisoned; having to worry whenever I miss my menstrual bleeding because everyone will assume that I'm pregnant and will try extra hard to harm me and the child in my womb; and then having to guard my children closely as they grow, because I don't know who could be trying to harm them.
thank you sooooooo much for uploading this new playlist, I really love your music choice!! I'll be listening it on repeat for at least a couple of hours :3
Like the first light of dawn, this music opens your eyes to new promises and to all the wonders of nature. Evocative of powers beyond observation, these pieces pull the strings of the heart, attract nostalgia and awaken the loves, the skinned lives and torpor of the sleeping watchmen🤮
I feel like your playlists are magic or something. If I’m struggling to get things done, I put one of them on and suddenly the problem disappears! Also this is a beautiful playlist btw!
The knife at my your neck… strong… The swords at your chest… fearless… Your body flows like water… dancing through the night, stolen my burden heart. An enemy from a different nation… I shouldn’t weaver… Yet, your presence, one glance, one movement… your reflection was captured. Everywhere I go you go, everywhere I see you see… am I being possessed by your undying beauty. A love once so great, yet many sacrifice… a bittersweet embrace, A path chosen for us. We walk along with each other through this thorny journey, we fight agains all odds… and yet we achieve nothing but pain… If there is such things as next life… I pray for you and I to be normal people and live in a peaceful world with our own choices and happiness…
This is so beautiful I'm in love with your channel!! I love the idea of an empress😍 would you be able to possibly do a playlist for an Arabian princess with traditional middle eastern music?
"Here, Emperor's Smile, I'll give you a jar if you pretend you didn't see me!" "If you don't know what to live for, then live for me!" "Binghe, take this medicine. I don't want people to think my Qing Jing peak is abusing disciples." "Ridiculous!" "I won't forget, never!" "Thank you...Shizun."
I love your playlists so much, would you consider making them available on a streaming service? When I get one of yours I really love I usually make it myself on Qobuz, but I can't find these songs. And please keep up the Chinese lists, this is so good!
If you liked a flower you'd pluck it for its beauty; but if you loved it you'd plant it on a pot and nurture it for ages. It's sad how you only love someone for their skin. You could collect a bouquet of lovers; but once they wilted you'll discard them and look for more.

i wanted to make the title "you're a heartbroken empress that has lost everything" but that was a bit too long D:
anyways, this playlist is really a throwback to the start of my youtube channel ahah, the whole reason i started making playlists was b/c i wanted aesthetic chinese playlists, and there were none that were in the specific niche i was looking for. since many of my other kinds of playlists were taking off, i couldn't really do these anymore. but i've been hearing yall say that you actually want more chinese playlists, so i here i am!! thank you for the encouragement
All your playlists are brilliantly done! I listen to them when I'm trying to get in the mood for writing, and you seem to have one for every setting :)
@@evierose7026 thank you so much 🥰 i try to cover a wide variety, so im very glad you like them! hope you have lots of fun writing!
This is what I have been looking for all my life, and when I said "all my life" I literally mean all my life! I am so grateful to have found your channel! ❤❤❤ I can't thank you enough!
does no. 16 have a translation for the title?
where do u find no. 12 by itself
Please keep making these chinese themed playlists! As someone who has not returned to my motherland for 2 decades, this brings me home again to my roots
awww i will gladly make more of these in the future 🤧💕 so happy to hear that this music can have this effect
@@yuecubed Hi It would be really cool if you made a desi-inspired playlist !!!
@@gildedchai6125 ooooh cool
@gildedchai6125
People in the comments got motivated to read, write and study while I get the feeling that I'm the heart broken girl from Chinese ancient times. When I was at the mansion, waiting for my husband, the general to come home after a big war. It was the day they come back and I was so excited to see him after parting for a year. I ran to the front door as his troop came into our mansion but they all looked so down and sad. I asked them as I search for him, "where's the general?" and then I found out he gave his life to protect the emperor.
I was imagining myself as the girl who was sold to enter the palace instead of the actual girl. To be selected as the wife of a prince. When times were unstable. N I was told to kill my husband on wedding night. Before that happened I started to like his gentle nature his loving compassionate eyes that looked at me with adore n love. But then when the time came to actually kill him, I give up, n ran away.
@@urdelulufriendrd omg 😭😭
This cloth of silk bright red bears no shade to the blood you bled
This crown I wear not heavier than your lifeless figure, cold, dead
The power I wield cannot bring you back to life
You left me alone suffering, in agony, despair and strife
Why my love? Was this your plan, to leave me and be in peace?
My influence is vast yet it cannot even reach deaths domain
A chance to sacrifice all of my entirety I shall offer without a doubt
If it means to release you from deaths grasp
My emperor, my god, my love
Why did you abandon me?
I could sacrifice thousands for you
Yet you chose death and dishonor rather than have me stained with sin
Sinner of sinners I could be as long as we're together
But my dear, you chose to sacrifice it all for me
But now, it all meaningless without you
I sit here above yet I cannot reach you any further
Your presence still embraces my lonely shell
I am not blind yet now I cannot see what I wanted to have
Rest easy my love, soon we shall be reunited
This life isn't worth living if you're not with me
I shall enter with confidence and a smile on deaths door
In the afterlife we shall be together again, forevermore
What a beautiful speech 🥹✨🩵 太美了
DAMM this is soooooooooooooooooo good is this written by you please be honest if yes then its awesome lots of loveee from me
So beautiful, it made me cry along with this music 😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺
This is art ❤ did you write this?
The knife at my your neck… strong…
The swords at your chest… fearless…
Your body flows like water… dancing through the night, stolen my burden heart.
An enemy from a different nation…
I shouldn’t weaver…
Yet, your presence, one glance, one movement… your reflection was captured.
Everywhere I go you go, everywhere I see you see… am I being possessed by your undying beauty.
A love once so great, yet many sacrifice… a bittersweet embrace,
A path chosen for us.
We walk along with each other through this thorny journey, we fight agains all odds… and yet we achieve nothing but pain…
If there is such things as next life… I pray for you and I to be normal people and live in a peaceful world with our own choices and happiness…
She had fought many warriors in her youth. She watched the rising and fallings of her kingdom from her humble throne, unable to do a single thing as an immortal.
She was a pillar of hope in her nation, a beauty, a one of a kind and so much more. Beloved by all, men and women, children and old.
In her first 17 years of living, she was a warrior in her kingdom's army. Valiant and kind but ruthless on the battle field.
And on that said battlefield, she met her.
A powerful, hostile, and very beautiful female general of the opposing kingdom.
The two clashed constantly, their forces evenly matched. Neither one could ever fully push the other close to death without they themselves being on the brink as well.
For many, many years they fought, and throughout those years, they found love in eachother. The two wanted nothing more than to run away from this life and live a peaceful one. Her love decided enough was enough, and committed treason against her own kind to live beside her.
But the curse of immortality would mean that she would be forced to watch the love of her life and her people fall to the hands of others.
And now she was the empress of a beautiful and peaceful kingdom,
That no longer exists.
omg this is too good 😭😭 the last line really got me, you're such a talented writer
@@yuecubed 🥺🥺Thank you!! This playlist is amazing as well! All of your playlists give me such motivation to write! Much love!
What a beautiful story, you're a very skillful writer! This gave me some inspiration so I thank you ❤️
@@kawababe3073 thank you! Glad I could give you some motivation❤
That no longer exists…
That part made my heart burst!! Awesome 👏🏽
It's so beautiful and sad. I think all chinese music sounds like a tragic story. Please, if you like the chinese aesthetic, then make playlists with it more often. I love every playlist of yours, sometimes i just don't have the words to comment on how beautiful it is 😭💞
fr there are just some amazing tragic pieces out there 🤧💕 i will def work on it !! tysm for all the support, you're really too kinddd
You made me realize what emotion I was feeling all this time while listening to Chinese instrumental music! Its Tragedy 😭Thank you for mentioning 💕
@@SulakchanaGurung omg I'm very glad 🥺💗
She is beautiful.
She is powerful.
Her heart is guarded, and it has been wounded once again.
She stands at the edge of a precipice, but her people need her. She wants to let go of everything, but she cannot. She has to go on.
The pain is tearing her soul apart, but the people count on her.
She is a nationnal treasure, she is a precious gem, shining with a red glow. Determined and brave she is...
How can she keep standing strong? She is the queen. She just does. She has to.
aaaaaa
@@yuecubed really, you think so? Thank you so much!!! 🥺💗💗💗🖤 your playlist was inspiring, what can I say!
I love Chinese instruments; there's so much soul in each note, with no need of lyrics to tell a rich and consuming story. Frankly, I just wish I'd had this when I was binge-reading Yona of the Dawn; it would have suited that perfectly.
you can binge read yona again, its so good ahah 🥰 thank you so much for listening!! chinese instruments are indeed so beautiful
Ah, I'm early. I enjoy being introduced to other cultures' music so much! I've quite liked the other chinese instrumental playlists, and the arabian nights playlist was lovely too.
im really glad i get to share these playlists with you!
小学的时候，每一天都很快乐，那真的是一种发自内心的纯洁的快乐。那时候网络不普及，也没有这些手机iPad什么的，可是我每天和同学们玩玩闹闹说说话，一样很开心，甚至比现在的快乐更加真挚。此时此刻，我在夜里回忆彼时，越想心里越暖，我要凭着这份念想安心入睡了。
The songs you chose reminded me of the Chinese dramas "Legend of Mi Yue" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" >w< two of my favorites lol
literally my favs toooo, im obsessed with both! 😭💕 i was actually just rewatching ruyi a few days ago too omg
also, legend of the white snake!!!
OMG I LOVE RUYI
@@liuyahong I LOVE YANXI PALACE🌺
"My most precious star.
My love for years; you ended up destroying me more than I thought and imagined.
I loved you with my soul, even if our love was not normal..
You were the one who loved me as is without even being able to touch me, and you showed me that someone like me could also be loved...
Now I just have to keep accepting that you decided to go your way now without me.
And even if at some point we forget about each other; I can tell you for sure that you were the one I loved the most in my entire life.
My great and only love... thank you for showing me that I can love with such intensity..."
I'm currently reading "She who became the sun" (which is set in ancient china) so this is perfect to read to!
oooo! have fun reading! i haven't read it yet, but the premise sounds soo interesting
True
I used this video countless of times whilst reading 'Daughter of the Moon Goddess' by Sue Lynn Tan. Her writing was so beautiful and was brought off the page with the music. I think words and music go so well together. I would definitely suggest this playlist if you read the book. Every moment just seemed perfect and so was the book! My greatest thanks for this!♡
thanks for the rec! loved this book and onto the 2nd now. Just perfect.
omg Im reading that right now, thats exactly why I put this on
Timestamps with main points for myself for a storyyy:
------
0:00 - 0:36 Story's Intro
0:37 Setting The Play: Two prominent pieces on the board; a humble empire nestled in the lush and sun grey, misty ranges of a mountain bowl, and another placed far to the East, land of sun and summer wind.
4:11 The Palace, Her Majesty, and the Land of the East: A grand palace that basks in sun, blanketed in stars by night. Each soul holds the other in the heart, joining hands and pushing as the splashes of a stream, to pass spirit on.
9:57 The Empress: Such beauty there was in the land that the dark could not plant itself. It fled to the corners of the most obscure places, afflicting her majesty's heart. Still, all her chambers remained filled with wood chamber song. Aspirations and sweet tuning kept the life alight of the days soothing.
13:26 Arrival of The Hour: The slow, dreadful rising of life's reminiscence- and rue. Lord's adversary had arrived in no haste, with sword, and neat plating, with scars, and little else in saying. All her moments meld and mesh, an amalgamation of bittersweet turmoil, no words to speak what was felt or what went. Only a sea of juxtaposition, feeling and numbing, and the prolonged, watchful silence.
15:56 The Emperor: His wooden flute, their orchestra, and a granted finality. In a state of utter dire, a melody sings into the night as the group of strangers permit a last encore of a moving dream.
19:03 The Empress: Her revelation and a final wish come true. A moment of eternity in true freedom before death. Petals from above fall, and this world slows as the mind wanders away, forgetting her penalty.
21:07 A Return: The moment flitters away, only lasting for so long. But the newfound beauty is strong despite the scene, imprinting on her heart and his, so she returns. And the world again churns.
23:28 The Truth: It is hard. Deeply so. The wound bleeds, as the thought surfaces. Such a kind man, to slay the manic lover and attempt to spare the empress of an undeserved death, unknowing of the love's poison that was wrenching away her conscience. She is caught before the fall, and there is no more to this scene.
25:12 Unknown home: A new set is laid. She is unaware, far lost within the fog of a poisoned body. In a foreign land, she is no one, her people she held dear and they as well, in return. But she is an empress nonetheless. Strength is a hope to be kept alight.
27:18 The Wait: Neither eyes awaken, body still and weighted. But the tightening on the soul lessens, and the heart moves and her ears do listen by the ongoing days, to the whispering of attendants and maids and passer-by's. Of this, what she hears most profoundly are the words of a lovely script, and a deep voice. The crinkling of pages trail, and if lucky, the song of a flute made of wood thereafter.
30:19 Promising Day: Perhaps she had asked for a small ensemble, because at once there was light, revived life, music... and a careful hand, both careful and caring behind the drapes of an unchanging exterior. There was no need to rise, it was more than enough. But every day, season by season, she did. Blue'ed brambles regained their color and youth to at last flower and bloom.
There was much stumbling. More than one could count. And many musical days and nights of quiet reading, in solitude, but never lonely or alone. She would fall and the emperor would sweep the current in a manner of a graced crescent eagle to reverse the descent and its ails. Company was so desperately sought, though the notion was never uttered or faced by either.
32:54 Shared Revelation: --
Tldr: Two kingdoms have ruled peacefully until the reign of the newly-crowned Eastern Emperor and his betrothed (& arranged) empress. His majesty mishandled his citizens' well-being and is abusive to the Empress. A tyrant now reigns. Her Majesty takes solace in caring for her people, roaming the gardens, & summoning small orchestral ensembles to listen to or play along with. Word spreads, the Emperor of the South upholds the truce & slays the tyrant. He grants her majesty a final wish to hear music, and they play. He wishes to spare her, but she faints to her fiancé' poison (stabbed) prior. She awakes in the foreign land of the South, but is in a semi-conscious coma. After healing after the passing of many seasons, His majesty helps her, and though they don't speak much, they bond. Over time, this bond turns to love, and the rest is history.
Wow what an amazing story!
make sure to keep working on this!! novels arent written in a day but i am rooting for you♑️🤍☮️
Delulu vibes from
This aesthetic is divine!
aaaaa really glad you think so!!!
This goes really well with Anchee Min's "Empress Orchid" book she was really heartbroken after the death of her beloved husband and son
I am not Chinese but I enjoy the music and culture so much like in the movies, drama and animations especially the traditional ones I am in love with the older Chinese traditions and music's
It's really cool! I would like more chinese playlists please💓
i would honestly love to keep making more! thank u for the encouragement
Edit: (Ha... this is one actually about two of my characters).
Soft. Oh, so soft. So gentle, so sweet, so calming was the touch of the creature at her side. His face, covered in angry red markings and hiding a sly smirk as he kissed up her arm. His lips twisted as he whispered sweet nothings up into her ear, the words slithering like a viper and feeling just as poisonous. She raised a hand up, one decorated with ruby rings and golden bands. Her cream-colored fingers touched his fiery hair, the color her favorite and yet the most despised one in her heart. She watched quietly, her golden hues staring with amusement, as the red locks slid between her fingers, each one softer than the last. However, as his hair slipped between her grasp, she slowly sat up, letting it fall out of her hands and back onto the comfortable fur blanket around them. She let one hand remain behind her, helping her to stabilize her body in that moment. She let her other hand splay itself across the bed, her red painted fingertips catching the edges of the fur, staining them a deep crimson as well. Ah... that was not paint, now, was it? No. It was blood. Blood of one of her jewels lying beside her bed. He was dead, his hands missing and most likely somewhere in the room. She shed a small glance towards the body before looking at her lover of the hour... her advisor. He stared back up at her, his black sclera and red pupils blown wide with ecstasy. Of course, he was not her lover by choice... no, he never had been. He was the one who dragged her into this, who made her who she was.
"... leave me. Clean this mess... I am tired Respin..."
Her voice was soft, holding an edge of a desperate tone. She wanted him gone for now. Perhaps he had some way of influencing her that she just had not figured out yet. He was an excellent tactician, a man with a silver tongue, and one who knew exactly how to destroy an enemy from the inside out. Her body flinched involuntarily as she felt the bed shift. A hand wormed its way up her back, black claws lightly dragging themselves up and leaving soft red scratches behind. That same hand made its way into her golden locks, pulling on them slightly and forcing her to turn her head back to him.
"Of course, Your Majesty... I could never disobey your words my loving queen..."
The breath she was holding escaped her lips, a frigid chill brushed across the edges of her body as he moved swiftly off the bed. He gave her one of his smiles... the kind that always made her stomach twist up into knots. If it was not for him... if he had never done this to her... she was happy! She had been! The youngest daughter of the Hearts' Empire. The sweetest one, the most beloved... she had four elder sisters... each fighting for the crown in their own way, but she was left alone... for she was too young to inherit it... but the people adored her... and they clamored for her to be the next empress. Her sisters, jealous and stuck in misery, plotted against her. And... and Respin... he came to her... he whispered sweet words in her ear... he promised her everything if she did as he said. 'Kill them,' she could remember his voice, so tantalizing sweet like the juice of a ripe peach, 'You belong there... they hold no love for you... you know that... you know they hate you... kill them... destroy them... if you do not do it... then they will do the same to you... you could have everything... everything you have ever wanted...' And like Eve ate the apple from the snake, so did she do as he commanded. With him by her side, it was over in a matter of weeks. No more was the sweet girl, the gentle one, the angelic one... no... she was bloody... she was bathed in the crimson wreckage of her family. But... it did not end there. She was in love. Oh! Oh, how she had been in love! A man... a commoner... the one she adored and the one she had loved since she was but a child. She took him. She took him as her husband, she made him king. She ignored Respin's desire to be by her side and took the man she had adored since young. However, the man did not love her in return. No, it was a marriage of force... one that the empress was too blind to see that she was causing the pain. But, out of this marriage came her two joys in life, her twin boys... and yet... even this peace was taken from her. Respin weaseled his way in again, fed her lies... told her that her husband was unfaithful. He swore on his life that he had seen him with another woman, a maid. She wanted to believe the best... but for once, the fox's lies turned out to be true. Broken hearted, emotionally destroyed, and on the last edge of sanity... she killed her husband just as she killed her past family. Oh, but she could never hurt her sons! Oh never! They were her prized possessions. Lonely, stuck in grief, and constantly searching for affection... Respin convinced her to take on a harem... one full of men who would never deny her... lest they be slaughtered in return. She accepted this advice and thus stole men from their wives, taking them for her own. The world turned on her then, with Respin always by her side, a hand always on her shoulder, always whispering sweet words into her ears.
"Alicina... do not despair... he was but a fool who disobeyed... you know you had to do it... otherwise, where would his loyalty have gone? To another woman? Oh Alicina..."
Poor Alicina. Poor little girl. Poor little mother. Poor little wife. Poor little empress. The empress of blood. The empress of malice. The empress of nothing. That's what she was... just the empress of nothing. She was but a puppet for Respin's pleasure... for his own enjoyment of misery and suffering. And she knew this. She knew it well. And yet, he still turned her head and pulled her strings. Her head slowly brought itself to rest in her hands, her breathing turning heavy as her chest heaved back and forth. Tears leaked from her eyes, slipping down her hands and falling onto the fur below, churning the soft red colors into a muddied dark brown.
"Poor Alicina! Poor woman! That's what I want them to say when I die! Oh, wretched Alicina! Oh, so FOOLISH ALICINA! So foolish! So... so foolish..."
Oh my gosh this is so good. This should get more attention!
I belive you can turn this into a great story please keep up the good work 👍
your music taste is >>>>
thank you so muchhh
Where are these images from? They are stunning. As a Chinese woman this music speaks to me on a deep, deep level. It feels like I’m feeling the sorrow of all of my ancestors.
Honestly speaking every playlist of yours is absolutely made with so much care. Not just in this playlist but in others too every song in your playlist fits so well and I don't need to skip a single song. The choice of songs is so beautiful and fits with the theme. Thank you for making beautiful playlists this is one of my favorite channel
you're too kind!!

Thank you for making another chinese playlist! I love these so much
😭
aaaa me too 💕 tysm for listening!! i really appreciate the support!!
Omg! Thank you for this playlist❤ I feel like in historical k-dramas or Genshin Impact
happy to hear you feel that way 🥰 historical dramas are the best!
Jealousy in the darkness grew, her love for one, but not for the other. In silence, dagger in hand, he waits for his brother. A slash, the groan of one so dear, she watches as he slowly dies. With him her being longs to fly. Her heart is broken, her lover gone; She died away before the dawn.
This is beautiful as the chance meeting of a dessert spoon impregnated with chocolate and a plastic bottle without a protective cap, on the edge of a devastated heath covered with weeds following a succession of bad weather caused by a depression coming from northern Europa 💥
thank you. from the bottom of my heart. you have no idea how my tears are falling down right now.
awww 🤧💕 thank you so much for listening
The urge to cry but I think it's inside. Aaaahhhh weird. I want to cry but this feels satisfying for some reason. I like it♥️
Oh my god.... It's been so hard for me to find Chinese music, and this is just what I needed! It's great hearing instruments from my culture TwT
This music is a beautiful song in itself. Complete beautiful song without words.
🥰🥰 really happy you think so
I may be writing a Steampunk, horror story but that won't stop me from listening to this!
woah steampunk horror! sounds super neat, hope you have lots of fun writing
Aaaaahhhhhh!! 🗣️ I've arrived!! These oriental vibes is ✨✨ so perfect as a reading bgm, especially since Chinese New Year just happened a week back or so...This playlist reminds me a little of Shangri-la, a paradise, distant, and separated away from the world. A little soulful and melancholic. 🥲
i wish i had this playlist ready to publish on new year honestly 😭 your comments always set such a good mood 🥰💕
@@yuecubed it's not late, you've made it!🎊🥳🎉 There's a little CNY mood left...when I look out the window the decorations are still there. Personally I'm still munching on leftover festive snacks😎🤏✨ It feels overdue cause' valentine's is just round the corner. And I'm glad my comments had such a effect on you. That's the best compliment I'd received!!💗
I've been obsessed with Chinese period dramas lately and this is satisfying so many of my cravings. Thank you for the great playlist!
Akatsuki no yona vibes 🥰❤️ really loved this one, thanks for the effort!

感謝雅雯 我在生病的期間 每天聽著你的歌 讓我在 治療 時 堅強的勇敢的 活下去 謝謝你 感恩 阿彌陀佛
I’m glad I found this playlist. After 1 minute of listening, my heart feel for the queen 😭😭😭😭
This music is like calm sadness … not crying not showing… not keeping it in.. but it’s there … flowing thru your body but not hurting… a peaceful sadness … I think that’s the word… but good/ weird feeling whenever I listen to Chinese instrumental music like this. ❤ amazing 0:17
Whenever I listen to instrumental Chinese music .. feels like I’m in China… and I’ve never been to China. This music is so relaxing and beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much for doing the traditional Chinese one 💖 was looking for something like this everywhere !!
awww ofc ofc! 🥰 honored to have you listening
I love your playlists so much!
Im currently working on my thesis and i cant count how many times ive listened to your playlists to help me focus
aww that makes me really happy to hear! wishing you the best of luck with your thesis! 🥰
Just mixed a lot of concepts and cooked up a story while listening to this playlist. They are really cool!💖
It was almost as if you lived another life. Your mornings for the past few years have been filled with scenarios,
otherworldy places, and faces that you have never seen or felt before. As you put your coffee to heat you can't help but compare the monotonous
life you lived in your conscious state to your mystic subconscious. You were probably drawn more and more to them every passing night; especially him.
His voice, the way he smiles, his long flowy attire, the way he always paints under that tree near the pond in the royal gardens, and the way you admire him through the huge windows from your palace chambers. the way he gently held your hand while teaching you a new brushstroke, the way you could feel the curves of his lips, the way he felt against your fingertips. Even though everything else felt like a dream, your beloved was the only thing that felt almost real, lingering around you even when you were wide awake, fully functioning, working, and...
"Are you listening to me or not?, You don't ever seem to pay attention to me Hina, what's with you these days?"..... on dates.
Your boyfriend entirely disrupted your trail of thoughts. Ah! yes, Jun the ultimate, he was introduced to you through a friend of a friend of a friend and You started
dating him when you were still in college. He also ghosted you for about 4 dates before finally taking you seriously. “ Hina? Jesus Hina are you even here?!
_No, I miss him, I want to see him again, I am going home._
“ What the fuck Jun will you let me breathe?, Plus why are you talking so much today, aren’t you usually too busy to even get some coffee with me?
“ I am trying to make up for it aren’t I?” He replied angrily.
_Goodbye._
” I am a little tired today, lets's do this some other time”, you said and just left.
Sometimes you were concerned for your mental health? Were you going crazy? sometimes you felt you were cheating on Jun with the man of your dreams.
You even had a crazy theory that he was Jun from his past life but that quickly faded away when you slowly fell out of love with him.
You didn’t know, what you were feeling, what you were seeing and why you were seeing them again and again except for one thing, you would even
fight the nightmares those imperial courtyards sometimes gave you, if it meant seeing him once again. As you plopped on your bed ready to let go of the day
and let yourself drift away you saw it once again…. The patterned beams and decorative exteriors, the bridge leading to your chambers, it was all the same
"Princess, where have you been you have a guest, guess who" a familiar giggling voice called out for you, it was your lady in waiting Mei. " Your usual spot go ahead, I'll cover for you"
_I know this usual spot, the northern side of the water gardens behind the back palace. That area is pretty uninteresting and secluded as it is far away from the chambers of the Empresses and consorts of the Imperial harem and according to Mei, easier to hide and escape right into the royal gardens before anyone caught us. I haven't yet figured out the situation around him and me but it must be forbidden according to the rules of the palace it seems._
As your feet ecstatically move forward to your location you couldn't help but sense something wrong.
_Maybe the environment, Mei's statement, or even me. Maybe I'll see him and get better? As I make my way towards the gardens hiding from the back palace I see his tall figure standing there waiting for me. He embraces me tightly yet lovingly as soon as he sees me. Ha! It's baffling cause I have never been this happy and desperate to be in a man's arms. I guess we are a lot more closer and intertwined than I thought._
"I'm sorry princess but this will be the last day I will meet you here, I cannot see you anymore, this is the end".
_Huh, what? wait a min I can"t._
Your legs felt jiggly, and your mind went blank, before you knew tears started forming in your eyes. A lot was going on in your mind but it constantly felt like you knew something, something you don't remember. "Before I go I just want you to know that my love for you will not be shaken by any external pressure, I don't care what Cheif son has to say or what the Empress Dowager is plotting against you, as long as you keep me in your heart I will return to you even as an unwanted man or even as dust. From the moment you ever touched me I have devoted my entire life towards you, Princess Lea."
There, There it was! your sadness confusion and misery were slowly started to envelop with fear too. Your eyes were not just tears anymore it was mixed with terror. It was as if this name triggered something; your entire world started spinning, red smoky flames engulfed your surrounding, you wanted to run but your feet were ice-cold, your heart was pounding and your ears drowned in those same hellish screams that you dreaded the most. Those nightmares were here, those same things you always feared and disliked. Strangely this nightmare was not a deja vu anymore, the palace beams, the water gardens, those peculiar flower patterns on the walls, the imperial throne, the blood on your hands, empress dowager, and most importantly, your mother.
You found yourself in that cursed imperial courtyard again as you wept uncontrollably, your name and his last words to you echoed in your brain, slowly becoming so painful that you were unable to breathe....until, a long silence embraced you, and you slipped into the time when it all began.
nice story!! ty for listening 🥰🥰
thank you so much for this playlist! ive always loved watching historical chinese dramas and i love how beautifully a love story can be told with just music. this playlist reminded me of my favourite series, "The Legend of Mi Yue", so thank you

好喜欢这系列的，你的品味也太吧 我来回听了好多遍
MINI STORY TIME!!
Her Daughter was childish, Her herself was powerful, henceforth her being kind and gentle, she would not enforce such power that she wields onto her daughter.
Her Daughter was filled with joy, Her Herself was delicate, so delicate that a flower petal would lose its own delicacy
Her Daughter was Curious, Her Herself became worried, She was a loving woman, only to fall in love oh so quickly
Her Daughter soon came of age, Her Herself knew that he was gone forever, he had fought for her and her daughter, only to never return
Her Daughter finally asked, Her Herself told, His story was shared to her daughters life
Her Daughter had Questioned, "Why did you fall in love, if you already knew he would die for us"
Her Herself said " You see ChiLei, one heart cannot be shared by a crowd, but a mind can be shared by many, I knew, He knew, that what we had to do was fall in love, i loved your father dearly Chilei, but we all must learn, everybody's time must come, and his did, but he didnt just die to die, he died for us, his death was one that will be honored for decades to come, and just know, you will learn when your time comes aswell my little sunflower"
Her Daughter was now queen, Her mother stood by and watched her be crowned
Her Daughter ruled for long, but soon grew old, Her Herself loved her dear daughter Chilei
her Daughter soon passed, Her Herself losing both of the ones she cared for the most
Her Herself could not die, since she was a celestial
Since The Immortal LianHua could not die, she guarded her heart safe and locked it away from those who might take it
only for her heart to stay honorable and loving to her daughter, Chilei, and her Husband, SuYi
She watched over them at there graves, hugging them in imagination, And they watch over her from the heavens up above
To one who must be lost, to many who must go, ones time is found, and many are there to embrace that change
a Spirit can be held and honored by those around you, and not yourself
A Honorable Sacrifice, is a brave, but wise choice
and That's all she ever knew since
and brave, wise, and honorable
was what her and her family were
This is wonderful!! So beautiful thank you so much i really love Chinese traditional music 💜✨
me toooo, thank you for listening 🥰

Okay so...I really love your work and appreciate every video of your channel! So I have this weird question for you...
Can you do an:
Pov: you are lost in the planet Mars because your spaceship broke, and now you have to find a way out of there because you can't live there forever so you going to mission to find new materials to fix your spaceship but without any help.
VERY SPECIFIC LMAO BUT IDK WHAT SONG I SHOULD PUT AND SINCE YOU ARE A RULER OF THIS WORLD IN THE PLAYLISTS SECTION I THOUGHT YOU COULD HELP

If I were an empress, I don't think I could survive that lifestyle. I would become insane from all the pressure placed upon me by the Imperial Court, having to watch what I do, where I go, and what I say, because I don't know who could be spying on me and how they will try and frame me; having to examine what I eat and drink, or the medicine that I consume, or the perfume that I use, because I don't know if it is poisoned; having to worry whenever I miss my menstrual bleeding because everyone will assume that I'm pregnant and will try extra hard to harm me and the child in my womb; and then having to guard my children closely as they grow, because I don't know who could be trying to harm them.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
This is so beautiful
tysm
Beautiful music only not the real story of an Empresses.
thank you sooooooo much for uploading this new playlist, I really love your music choice!! I'll be listening it on repeat for at least a couple of hours :3
aaaa that really makes me happy, tysm for listening!!
It's just a music only not a the story of an Empresses.
I've been reading the Poppy War by RF Kuang and I feel like this playlist fits Su Daji so muuuch
Like the first light of dawn, this music opens your eyes to new promises and to all the wonders of nature. Evocative of powers beyond observation, these pieces pull the strings of the heart, attract nostalgia and awaken the loves, the skinned lives and torpor of the sleeping watchmen🤮
Listen to this while reading Mo Dao Zu Shi is something else
I was going to write something here but I may very well just write the whole book. Cheers!
omg haha good luck with writinggg
Well how fitting...
This is beautiful music! Thank you very much
I hope everyone has a great Day/Night!
omg haha 😂 yess it is indeed very fitting
Really.
_¡¡¡"Que Hermosas Canciones Chinas🌸💕🌺💗🎼 Me Encantó estuvo muy Sorprendente y Bella💘🖤 Saludos y Abrazos desde México💓🇲🇽🌹"!!!!_
Oh!!..your Chinese playlists are so sweet, thank you so much, keep sending 🧧that to us 🙏 🥮
I am addicted to this song.
Love from Morocco❤
I feel like your playlists are magic or something. If I’m struggling to get things done, I put one of them on and suddenly the problem disappears!
Also this is a beautiful playlist btw!
aww, that really makes me super glad to hear that my playlists help! 🥰 thank you so muchhh
And her love went to faraway lands,
Promising unimaginable wonder!
She remembered: her hair, his hands,
Never will be together again!
To any empresses reading this coment: *ahem* You go girl! Stay strong. You slay queen. ✨💜
25:09 Goodbye my princess
little fox 😭
Shau fang
I feel sooo nostalgic
I love these playlists ❤️
The knife at my your neck… strong…
The swords at your chest… fearless…
Your body flows like water… dancing through the night, stolen my burden heart.
An enemy from a different nation…
I shouldn’t weaver…
Yet, your presence, one glance, one movement… your reflection was captured.
Everywhere I go you go, everywhere I see you see… am I being possessed by your undying beauty.
A love once so great, yet many sacrifice… a bittersweet embrace,
A path chosen for us.
We walk along with each other through this thorny journey, we fight agains all odds… and yet we achieve nothing but pain…
If there is such things as next life… I pray for you and I to be normal people and live in a peaceful world with our own choices and happiness…
This is so beautiful I'm in love with your channel!! I love the idea of an empress😍 would you be able to possibly do a playlist for an Arabian princess with traditional middle eastern music?
thank you! and i already have a queen of the desert playlist inspired by the arabian nights, it might suit what you're looking for
@@yuecubed omg I just saw that it's perfect! Thank you!!
16:58
"Here, Emperor's Smile, I'll give you a jar if you pretend you didn't see me!"
"If you don't know what to live for, then live for me!"
"Binghe, take this medicine. I don't want people to think my Qing Jing peak is abusing disciples."
"Ridiculous!"
"I won't forget, never!"
"Thank you...Shizun."
I love your playlists so much, would you consider making them available on a streaming service? When I get one of yours I really love I usually make it myself on Qobuz, but I can't find these songs. And please keep up the Chinese lists, this is so good!
im so sorry but i will probably just keep these playlists on youtube D: tysm for the support tho!!
I respect your opinion for me " No".
If you liked a flower you'd pluck it for its beauty; but if you loved it you'd plant it on a pot and nurture it for ages. It's sad how you only love someone for their skin. You could collect a bouquet of lovers; but once they wilted you'll discard them and look for more.
Beautiful and sad . 💙
thank you
