Dark River - Tumblr Posts

Ooh! Such a fascinating thought! Interestingly, there’s already a bit of an opposition drawn between the Five Eunuchs and Dark River in the novel, insofar as Jin Xuan believes that he and Su Changhe cannot coexist—they agreed when they first met that the Imperial Court belongs to Jin Xuan and the Martial Arts World to Su Changhe. It’s definitely interesting thinking about how Jin Xian and Su Muyu might parallel each other in some ways, while their bosses hate each other yet assist the same prince.

I don't know if its just me but Eunuch Jin Xian reminds me of Su Muyu. They are similar in a way both of them can be corrupted in a place where they work at. Court politics and Assassin organization? But somehow they are not tainted and manage to be still righteous in their own way? The way Jin Xian emphatize with his fellow eunuch and want to avenge them reminds me of Su Muyu feeling bad about Su Changli's death saying the youth is not an assassin but more like a warrior so he don't deserve that death?
