Elise:

I think they just drew Xiang Liu instead of Fang Feng Bei so people don't mistake him as Jing from the back. 

Yes, that's the sort of art director thinking I'm imagining.

it's like his cold aura goes away after he smiles

 Kokuto:

I LOVE Fang Feng Bei!  And yes, part of it is his smiles.  All those different smiles.

But I do remember that underwater trip with XY, right after he got the Poison Love Bug, where XL was so happy and smiling.  Even XY noticed and captured it in her mirror.  sniff.

omg yesss. That's one of my favorite scenes. When he looks back and smiles at her *SWOONS* I have the gif saved somewhere ahaha

 Elise:

I wonder why they made that cover with Xiao Yao holding the bow and Xiang Liu (not as Fang Feng Bei) being next to her. I don't recall that scene ever being in the novel and drama. 

They're wearing matching outfits so I'm thinking this is an AU where they got together.

If I was the illustrator on this, I'd be butchering the plot so much lololololol

 Kokuto:

LOL!  Art director loses their mind on receiving your thumbnails.

Artistic liberty 😌

Off topic but my god, the main comments section is such a mess. The shipping wars and the passive aggressive comments on both sides just make me laugh 😂

Have some popcorn!

No, but seriously though. People making passive aggressive remarks to those who are just stating their opinion on the show (not the novel) are spoiling the whole mood. Some of those people don't even know how it ends so those who say stuff like "keep dreaming" or "keep hoping" are kinda spoiling it because it shows it's never going to happen (which is true but still it's spoiling lol).

Also, I draw the line when they start coming after real people. Like nathsketch said, it's toxic. I don't mind when people go after Xiang Liu because he's a fictional character. However, I saw comments on the main thread and the other forum making fun of us for some of the stuff we said the past few days. US, real people. I know they read our forum (HI JING FANS :) )
