Well now I want a Chinese detective show set in the 1900s...

honestly joanna wang is so underrated, her voice has the perfect jazzy tone, I'm glad she's the first song!

these violent delights at its finest

My lover is dead. Light steps, elegant twirls, and I dance around his corpse. Strange how the knife in his back surprised him; I thought he knew well enough that I return favors two-fold. "The moon is especially lovely tonight," I sigh as my performance comes to a conclusion. I hope the next performance does not end as tragically... my basement can't fit anymore bodies.

YESSS this is perfect! There aren't enough Chinese playlists, especially themed ones (from what I've found), so this instantly excited me. Or there are many and I'll just take more :)

Reading These Violent Delights while listening to this just hits different

Love and appreciate the Chinese representation as a Chinese American person! I’m once again blown away by your amazing playlist ☺️

Oh yes! After I watched Jackson Wang's "Pretty please" I was looking for some Hong Kong old romance movies nostalgia Playlist and this is the closest KZfaq has recommended me apart from "In the mood for love" ost

As a Chinese I felt so happy when I found this playlist, I loved the 1900s of Shanghai Ty so much for posting this :)

reading foul lady fortune while listening to this: bless you for making this playlist, and may both sides of your pillow always be cold, may your nose always be unstuffed, and may your ears pop whenever you want them to.

reminds me sm of these violent delights missing romajuliette 🙏

These songs really give me that vibe. Omg as a Chinese I approve

This is such a perfect playlist that is accurate to its title! It reminds me of "These Violent Delights"

honestly where do you get the inspiration for every playlist? every single one fits perfectly for current readings! probably my imagination...😅😂😂

Your playlists are so unique, your taste in music is amazing. Thank you for introducing me to beautiful songs that otherwise I'd probably never find.

YOUR PLAYLISTS MATCH THE CHARACTERS I'M WRITING SO WELL im so grateful to have found your channel

I never knew I needed this but I did this is PERFECT to listen to while writing a murder mystery

This is the playlist I didn't know I needed. Like, seriously, it's AMAZING. I love it

just finished reading These Violent Delights duology and I feel so empty, i'm so glad you made this playlist😭❤️

full disclosure this playlist specifically has helped me get through the first semester of my last year of law school thank u so much

pls don't ever stop making playlists you're literally doing god's work, i love how every playlist has been curated so carefully and with so much thought. every song in each playlist is a bop, and they're not ones that i typically hear in scenario playlists like these, so they always introduce me to new artists. the scenarios are creative, and even if its a topic that's popular, you add your own enchanting flair to it and make it fresh, which i absolutely love. i love love love your channel you're so underrated and deserve way more subs :((

I'm an editor and I always listen to one of your playlists when I'm editing a manuscript. Thank you for sharing these songs with us :D

the vibe reminds me of couple of mirrors

a small idea i have i feel of how even though this has such a darker theme i feel that of how delicate it is at the same time i think the killer was a women. i kind of want to see if we can put a story or solve a murder with this playlist. =] would anyone like to join ? i love of how this is a classy but dark themed playlist thank you for making this !

this is the BEST playlist I ever heard. Thankyou so much!

This playlist is SICK!! Thank you for curating this wonderful collection of music! I never knew something this beautiful existed!

This is endearing. Your concept is so unique. I’d say keep up the great work, but I know you don’t need to hear it. You’ll ,simply, never disappoint.

Your playlists are really what I expected and what I wanted in my mind! I was so shocked! I thought classical chinese songs that have a creepy vibe doesn't exist... But this playlist totally changed my mind! Amazing playlist! And the story you came up with is also very creative and eerie! Nice one!

You introduce me to music I might never have discovered myself. Thank you! :)

I have already listened to the cottagecore video and then this just played a few songs later? Yes, this is absolutely amazing, thank you ♥️ I have enjoyed every single second for days now

A film I love and you'll like it you like this.. Shanghai Express starring Marlene Dietrich

Love the jazzy dark influence . Smouldering 🔥 beautiful ♥️🏯

thank you so much for this playlist!!! I'm reading "these violent delights" by Chloe Gong, which takes place in 1920's Shanghai and fits the vibe so well, you guys should totally read it to this :)

This playlist reminds me so much of Couple of Mirrors

This sort of gives me “These Violent Delights” (by Chloe Gong) vibes. I love finding playlists that match books 🖤

Wooow song 9 is a favorite of my grandparents, in spanish, we are mexican, I had never imagined it had versions in chinese this made me soooo exited suddently. I enjoyed the playlist as a whole, but that took me off guard in the best way possible 🥰

Perfect for reading the novel “Foul Lady Fortune” :)))

if it’s got joanna wang u already know it’s gonna b good 😖💞

omg these classic chinese are so amazing 🔥 thanks from brazil

I’m watching Legacy on HBO and I needed music to match the vibe. Thank you 😅

Not only this playlist but EVERY playlist is so good I criiiii

The very specific name drew me in

I discovered this channel a few days ago and I just wanna say that you are doing an incredible job. The thumbnails are gorgeous and the music is enchanting. Never stop doing what you’re doing!!!

Oh, this is great! :D very original, too!

this is one of the most beautiful playlists I've found in a long time.. thank you ♥️

This playlist is amazing. Thank you for making it!!

i surveyed the scene, my lover lying dead on the floor. killed by stab wounds. i could see the headlines now. "billionare in shanghai murdered in his own home. in his will, it is said that his entire fortune shall be left to his lover." i smiled as i looked down at the shocked look on his face and the knife in my gloved hands. they'd never suspect that it was me.

Omg thank you! Too good!!!

can i just say that you have the BEST thumbnails?? i’ve been using your videos a lot for dance workouts recently and every time i’m looking for something they just GRAB me 💗

With all the POV playlists out there, this is one of the more specific ones. 🤔

it's getting better and better o^o

I didn't know I needed this playlist 'til now.

Wo.wo.wo ! I have a strong impression of being in a film and of being the main character! It's such a special and magical feeling Love it

Joanna Wang's voice is like Lana Del Ray's!

oh my gosh ur channel is such a gem

sweetie I love your playlists so much!!!! 💖✨ thank you

YOOO something Chinese! I love this~

I think the theme song of the movie “Lust, caution” should also be added to this playlist 😌

This playlist reminds me so much of Couple of mirrors, a sapphic Chinese drama, that focuses on a famous writer and an asssasin. Its free on yt btw

Your playlists are amazing!

I'm in loveeee with this playlist!! It really suits with the mood if I'm reading Chinese modern historical manhwa !!

Sounds more like 2024 with a Americanized Chinese singer.
