A sequel, Nirvana in Fire 2, aired in 2017. Another sequel was announced in late 2020; so far no information is available on its plot or when it will air.The series can be watched on YouTube and on Viki with English subtitles. | |

Nirvana in Fire / int_154aa477 | comment |
Big, Screwed-Up Family: Jingrui's ill-fatedly combined double family is possibly one of the most screwed up examples. Of course the royal family with the empress and all the consorts and their sons and their paranoid father is a giant back biting mess. | |

Nirvana in Fire / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: The book Mei Changsu keeps reading and writing in that showed up episode 1. It's the key to Consort Jing figuring out that Mei Changsu is actually Lin Shu. The letter Xie Yu writes is actually a confession of the entire process by which the Chiyan army and Prince Qi were framed which is later used as the spring board on which to re-launch the investigate into the old case. | |

Family Relationship Switcheroo | |
Nirvana in Fire / int_3ffce9c2 | comment |
Family Relationship Switcheroo: Jingrui has two surnames. His mother gave birth on the same night as her friend at the temple they were staying at. That same night they were attacked and the two baby boys were mixed up in the darkness and confusion, making it impossible to tell which baby belonged to which mother. When one of the babies died after a few days, things became even more complicated. With no way to decide which family the baby belonged to, the emperor declared that he should belong to both of them and be given both their surnames. However the real switcheroo is that Jingrui's real mother Princess Liyang was pregnant with her lover's baby and then was forced to marry Marquis Xie. She realized her husband was trying to kill her illegitimate son but had actually killed her friend's baby by accident. She perpetuated the confusion with the Zhuo family in order to protect Jingrui from the Marquis. | |

Honor Before Reason: Jingyan's default setting. Lin Shu tries his best to make him behave more strategically, but has to give in when Jingyan refuses to leave Wei Zheng in prison to be executed, even though breaking him out is an extremely dangerous move that will potentially waste all of Jingyan's political gains so far. | |

And Now You Must Marry Me | |
Nirvana in Fire / int_478ae179 | comment |
And Now You Must Marry Me: A decidedly non-G rated version. Princess Liyang was in love with a foreign prince but the empress and Marquis Xie conspired to drug and rape her so that she would be forced to marry Xie. Unsurprisingly this situation led to some complications, see Family Switcheroo. The Crown Prince and his mother Consort Yue attempt to repeat this plot with Nihuang so that she is forced to marry one of her potential suitors and get out of their way. Thankfully it stops at Attempted Rape. | |

Double In-Law Marriage | |
Nirvana in Fire / int_882cd7d1 | comment |
Double In-Law Marriage: A really strange example in that Jingrui belongs to both the Xies and the Zhuos so they are in a sense in-laws through him. Then his little sister (from the Xies) and his older brother (from the Zhuos) get married so they are double in laws. Jingrui laughingly notes that when his sister has her baby he'll be both a paternal and maternal uncle. Grand Princess Jinyan and Lin Xie, the Emperor and Lin Yueyao; this causes Prince Qi and Lin Shu to be "double cousins". Because Consort Jing is Lin Xie's adopted sister, Prince Jing and Lin Shu are also considered "double cousins". This goes a long way in contributing to Everyone Is Related. | |

The Chosen One: "To have the Divine Talent is to have the World." Possibly subverted in that Lin Chen is Mei Changsu's best friend and likely gave out this "prophecy" as part of his master plan. Doubly subverted when you consider that Langya Hall's "prophecies" are actually just statements of fact derived from carefully compiled information. Essentially, Lin Shu chose himself. | |

Family Disunion: Jingrui's disaster of a birthday party. You know it's a failed family get together when you find out neither of your "fathers" is actually related to you, one of them was trying to kill you all along, and he's decided to finish the job now, along with the rest of your family and all the guests who now know too much. Ouch. | |

Sarcastic Confession | |
Nirvana in Fire / int_a036d3df | comment |
Sarcastic Confession: When he's cornered by Consort Yue and Xia Jiang's attempt to reveal his true identity, Lin Shu straight up admits it to the emperor's face. But then he follows up by saying even if he admits it it doesn't prove anything and uses enough Word Fu to convince the emperor to dismiss Xia Jiang entirely. That is talent.Although, admittedly it doesn't prevent the emperor from trying to kill him anyway... See Murder Is the Best Solution. | |

Due to the Dead | |
Nirvana in Fire / int_a679184b | comment |
Due to the Dead: Whether or not the dead have received their due honor is a big deal in the story. The Grand Empress' funeral rites are a gigantic days long affair and the mourning period lasts for a year. When the emperor catches the Crown Prince violating the mourning laws to have a drunken dance party in his private palace, it's the last nail in the coffin of his position. The emperor has Consort Jing set up a secret shrine to the dead Consort Chen, who committed suicide after her son Prince Qi's execution, in order to appease her restless spirit and stop his bad dreams. When Lin Shu is finally able to perform the proper funeral rites for his dead father it's a very emotional moment. | |

Depending on the viewer, Consort Yue could also count. | |

The Chessmaster: Mei Changsu, do I need to say more? Consort Jing may be even more of a Chessmaster than Mei Changsu. She tampers with the Emperor's medicine to induce insomnia, restlessness and hallucinations, which all contributed to him having nightmares which she then convinced the Emperor is caused by restless ghosts and can only be resolved by setting up a memorial plaque. And that's just one example. | |

Spotting the Thread: Jingyan notes Mei Changsu's habit of rubbing at things when he's thinking — just like this one guy he used to know... Consort Jing discovers Mei Changsu's true identity after finding a veiled reference to his mother's name in a book he wrote notes in. Lin Shu draws Jingyan's sword in a discussion and uses it to point out troop movements, unconsciously repeating a familiar gesture from their past which Jingyan recognizes. Another one for Consort Jing — she realizes her maid was part of the enemy's plot to cause mistrust between Jingyan and Mei Changsu when the maid makes sure to tell the story of Mei Changsu's supposed capture of her to the prince. They couldn't leave such a crucial part of the plot (making sure Jingyan heard the story told their way) to some unrelated person. | |
