On the plus side, XL does have guardian angels in the production, like Tong Hua and Tan Jian Ci. I think even Yang Zi might be a closet XL fan. And the first season was pretty close to the novel, is my understanding.
My main point in that paragraph was mainly that it's disappointing when reverse harems get adapted and then the reverse harem isn't even a true reverse harem anymore especially because I really like this genre. Another drama called "The Rise of Ning" is allegedly going to be a "reverse harem" too but I feel like it will run into the same issues.
Again, I don't hate or have any animosity towards the character, Jing, YaoJing, or hate the writer TH. And I apologize if it sounded like I was attacking TH cause that's not what I was going for. I'm just slightly frustrated about the concept of "reverse harem" in cdramaland and censorship in general tbh.
