What does he mean, "Third Wife"?
Have I missed something this whole time? Are/were there other wives? That seems... unlikely given that there are no other children and Yu Ziyuan has so much sect influence, but ???? Viki subtitles plz explain??
also:
this is why I'm on her side in the toxic failmarriage tbh
to uh, get a lil bit more into why "san-niangzi" is such a BONKERS thing to call her, it's clearly an evolution from this line of events:
Yu-san'guniang (totally normal, polite) -> San-guniang (informal, close, friendly) -> San-niangzi (flirtatious, close, intimate, absolutely fucking bananas bonkers).
To explain why this is so:
Yu-san'guniang aka Third Young Lady From The Yu Family <- this is a totally a normal thing you'd call someone you're polite to that you've met that's not too weird.
San-guniang aka Third Young Lady (for an older woman, San-niang or Yu-san'niang are both very friendly terms!) <- friendly, close, intimate, implies that if you talk about 'San-guniang' everyone knows WHICH third-guniang you are talking about. It's 'you're the only san-guniang I WOULD be talking about, the one attached to ME' So like this is already a bit banana bonkers, but no no JFM doesn't call YZY 'San-niang'
NO.
HE CALLS HER SAN-NIANGZI. Niangzi, if we are not familiar with this term means BRIDE. It means "my wife (intimate, familiar, friendly)" the fact that "san" is still attached to this does not mean she's the third wife, it means there used to be a prior relationship they had as maybe? friends? prior to this marriage that he is still using on the daily despite it CLEARLY no longer being there. Deader than the horse we keep beating.
anyway no I'm not normal about this fucked up ?????
The first time I heard it I mcfucking HOWLED.
the idea of kyle maclachlan playing paul atreides: familiar and comforting…. life affirming and true
the idea of timothee chalamet as dale cooper: a vision so horrific and cosmically wrong that it corrupts the very mind that conjures it
