When I gathered all the screencaps together for this post, I was struck by how one could follow Zhao Yunlan's whole final journey from the images alone. It's all in his facial expressions and body language.
I think my favourite thing is that you can really see him noticing-thinking-scheming-planning -- and how, conversely, that means it feels so intense when he's overcome with alarm, fury, anguish, etc.
And how, in the third cap, he and Shen Wei are basically making exactly the same expression at each other. *hearts/cries*
And that tear-filled glare across the table at Ye Zun, and his clenched fists in the wide shot.
And the way he clasps the pendant in both hands when he first receive it. And ohhhh, those last two caps, omg. *is wrecked*

Yes! I especially love this one because Zhao Yunlan is murdering (trying to murder) Ye Zun with his eyes. It has such a vibe of "just wait until I can get at you, you #@&^%*!" Then the one right below it, when he's watching Shen Wei on the floor, it's a completely different feeling.
Zhao Yunlan and Ye Zun at the table is one of my favorite scenes because Zhao Yunlan is grieving and angry but still noticing-thinking-scheming-planning, and you put it so well.

Seriously! There's so much there, so many different shades, his face is so expressive! (And he looks so gorgeous!)
I especially love the last one of him, holding Shen Wei's pendant at the very end, in that alley with the Lantern. *sniffles*
