Sorry for the late post. Irl ran me over this week.

I'm still reading 300 Years of Longing and huh, Mu Su Li really, really likes memory issues in her MC and/or ML. I think that's 100% of all the Mu Su Li I've read so far involving memory issues.

On a different topic: Asking for a friend - any recommendations for novels set in during the end of Tang, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period to early Song?

/hugs/ hope irl doesn't go so hard on you next week ;__;

Five Dynasties & Ten Kingdoms: there's the one I mentioned in a prev post, 浪淘沙 by 张鼎鼎 (JJWXC). The author 文理风 (JJWXC) has several stories set during this period, mainly revolving around the Later Tang's Li family and/or the govt official Feng Dao: 我后爹全家是皇帝, 谁是我亲爹, 富民强国才是王道 etc. I haven't read 山河永寂 by 一寒呵 (JJWXC) but apparently it is The Zhao Kuangyin/Li Yu RPF story within CN historical RPF circles XD and was adapted into the cdrama Kill to Love. And the screenwriter for Swords Into Plowshares actually wrote a still-WIP webnovel under the pseud 蚕室废人, which is titled 北唐 (Qidian) and set during the Later Han & Later Zhou.

Early Song: off the top of my head I can only recall 大宋女君记 by 广寒宫宫人 (Qidian), ft. transmigrator as daughter of Zhao Kuangyin living under Zhao Guangyi's rule. sorry I think most of the Song dynasty stories I've checked out or seen in passing are set later, clustered around Shenzong & Zhezong (the Reforms) or the Jin-Song wars.

After a slight break, finished the svsss donghua! Season 2 when -.-

I really enjoyed it, I was initially annoyed at the extension of the seclusion time but then it made it clear that it was done solely to age Binghe up a bit and otherwise sqq and lbh have the same amount of time interacting as teacher and disciple.

I also liked the few extra scenes with Liu Mingyan and Gongyi Xiao, though it led the final episode to feel like one of those youtube compilations of game cutscenes that ignored the story bits that happen during game play. (Also, crunchyroll was missing the post credit scene, but managed to track it down to watch).
