You can see them both start doing the math the moment Pingjun gags because Changxuan is definitely the kind of man who keeps track of his lover's cycle to know which 7 days he can't enter heaven.

They are literally the same picture!
Changxuan enveloping his two greatest treasures in his both protective and possessive embrace because that's the only way he knows how to love them... fiercely. He is the ultimate clinger.

They are both so unhingedly feral & horny about each other that if it hadn't been for the war, all the misunderstandings, and f*ucking JXT,by 1932,they would have been expecting their 5th child and Changxuan would have got at least one Pingjun mini-me to spoil.

Them finding and embracing each other amidst the flames of war after a long separation...
She is, and always has been, Layla to his Matthias. #cryorbetteryetbegfeels
#TheLamentOfAutumn #ChengLei
Yu Changxuan only worships and kneels to one goddess, devoting his heart, body, and soul to her, laying them all down at her feet and the altar of her awesomeness.

We never got to see a couple photograph of PJ and CX or of their little family (a normal thing in 1920s). They used the hairpin and rings to reminisce, but imagine the utter heartbreak of them taking that photo, and then carrying it around, caressing it,...

SOMEBODY SEDATE ME!!!
"After being tossed about so many times in this chaotic world, in the end, all I ever wanted was to return to your side."
the lament of autumn team felt like we hadn’t suffered enough, so they posted two new diary entries from yepingjun, written to yuchangxuan, about the passing of the years and her life with baby xiaoyuer after he was gone 😭 the full entries:
diary entry 1#:
“ever since we parted, i have traveled southwest with my eldest sister-in-law, fourth sister, and the children, following the organization’s relocation.
the place where we are stationed is filled with blooming kapok flowers. they are as red as the maple leaves of fengtai, and even after they fall, their colors do not fade, nor do they wither.
today, i took little yu’er to plant a sapling. i told him, “when the leaves of this tree turn red, daddy will come home.”
we are living well here. all i wish is for you to be safe.
written by yepingjun, in the twenty-second year of the republic of china (1933).”
diary entry 2#:
“by the time i returned to nanhuai, autumn had already arrived.
i joined the efforts to rebuild nanhuai, and today, i finally found a moment to write you a letter.
the xiangxi hotel has lost all its former splendor, and everywhere i look, there is nothing but devastation. the people we once knew have either departed or scattered, and all the love and hatred of the past have faded away.
of the promise we both made beneath the crimson autumn leaves, i am the only one who came to keep it.
looking back on the past, on the tangled ties that bound us for half a lifetime, it all feels like an autumn dream, one that vanished without leaving a trace.
after being tossed about so many times in this chaotic world, in the end, all i ever wanted was to return to your side.
when i count the years carefully, i realize that the time we truly spent loving each other amounted to only a few fleeting years.
if there is another life, i hope we can meet again as different people, at the right time.
by yepingjun”
** in the original script, it was while pingjun was in nanhuai helping people affected by the war, as she mentions here in the second entry, that she found the house filled with her favorite flowers, with an injured yuchangxuan tending to them. this feels like adding salt to the wound bye 😭😭😭
Like father, like son.
Xiao Yu'er inherited his father's allergy to Ye Pingjun's tears. Yu Changxuan's need to protect and comfort her is so strong that he had engraved it into his DNA for posterity.
#TheLamentOfAutumn #ChengLei
Changxuan fell irrevocably in love with Xiao Yu'er and his pretty boba eyes at first sight, just like he had fallen for his mama 10 years ago.

"You can break my soul, take my life away, beat me, hurt me, kill me, but for the love of God, don't touch her." - Yu Changxuan constantly
Knives, bullets, bombs... He's her shield against the whole world. Then, now and for all eternity. I'm UNWELL!

"he's my enemy" "he's my everything"
#TheLamentOfAutumn does not have a SE but an OE. It's identical to the TTEOTM ending, which has the same director. The censors were going to allow a warlord survive and live HEA after losing just one leg only over their dead bodies,so this was as close to that HE as we could get
"Why are you crying? It's just a picture."
The picture💔💔💔💔😭😭😭
#TheLamentOfAutumn #ChengLei
CX is a dynamic character - he has grown, learnt from his mistakes, knows what he wants and fights for it - while Pingjun continues to remain static, repeating the same few sentences all over again like a broken record for the last 34 episodes / 7 years: +
#TheLamentOfAutumn
Pingjun, sweetie, the f*cking Chinese civil war is raging out there, this is literally the worst time ever to divorce and ditch your rich and powerful warlord husband with his own private army to go full feminist and emancipate yourself!
