Not sure if it's past-tense for a specific reason, but an insight feels like it oughta be in present-tense.

I wonder, if she would have different insight, if we had chosen another option there?

IMHO, it should be the advanced one. Not every insight tribulation must be as flashy as ours. But I can see it being normal too.
 
Yeah, it's definitely the time for hamlet imo. We've got the foundations done, we're about to start moving up there. Feels like the right time.
 
You know, i am curious...
How common are arts that help healing yourself or things how effective things like PLR's damage redirection would be for things like LQ's injuries....

And also if there will be any benefit from effectively burning out the meridians in LQ's body. will she have an easier time opening up new ones?

Its the advanced one she got from the soft tribulation where Renxiang was given some sort of administrative challenge by mail and it didn't ever work because what she ordered didn't match the result.

Her answer was in the end this.

So was that a natural bit of fuckery, or was Shenhua giving her a deliberately unfair test for either tribulation or to try to get her in touch with that resentment she stitched into a dress?
 
For reference, there are technically 2 valid plans for this turn and next, even with Snowblossom Meditations and Population Drive still locked.

[] Plan: House and Home
-[] Hamlet Upgrade Project
-[] Call on Cai Clan Wealth (Rush)
(I assume "[ ] Cai Mountain Ski Lodge" is a supposed to be this, but bad formatting means it loses precedence. Edit: this is now fixed)
(we will have to take Call on Cai Wealth (resources) in the next month or two anyway)

[] Hamlet Later
-[] Fishing Boat Construction
-[] Call on Cai Wealth (resources)
(this forces the next turn to be the other plan, assuming (quite reasonably) that nothing gets unlocked)

Also I found the post where CRX got her insight during the Summit.

Shenhua likely just gave her deliberately sub par offices to work with, but genuine ones. Renxiang can't work if her officials are massaging the reports to look good and avoid blame, or simply failed to execute her instructions due to doing extra to try to impress, or trying to get it done cheaper at penalties elsewhere

If a remember correctly, Renxiang was given all the reports about a town and tasked to draft a plan to improve it. But that plan was never delivered to the people ruling the town, and she kept receiving updated reports and preparing adjusted plans that were never implemented.
So Renxiang had to suffer the torture of the town's rulers being inefficient and failing to solve the town's problems month after month.

Renxiang was not the actual administrator, someone else was. She just got all the same reports he did, and then produced the instructions that she WOULD give if she were actually administrating, but as she understood and explained it, nothing was actually done with those instructions, the real administrator was the one whose instructions were actually being carried out.
