I know that you're hoping for this show (and the actors) downfall since you're a hardcore Desire fan and you're…
Ziyu said he was in a normal relationship, and some have used that to argue it wasn’t technically cheating. But even if he did cheat — that’s a personal matter, not a criminal one. It’s not something for the public to punish him over as if he's committed a crime. His actions may have hurt someone emotionally, and that’s serious, but let’s remember that this is about a relationship, not a violation of the law.
Yes, if he made a mistake, it deserves reflection. But we also have to remember: Ziyu is still very young. Like many of us, he may have acted out of immaturity, confusion, or emotional pressure. That doesn’t excuse the behavior — but it does help explain it. Growth comes from mistakes, and if we truly want people to improve, we have to allow space for them to do so.
What hurts, though, is seeing private matters like his mental health, his dreams, and even his struggle with debt being exposed to the world. That crosses a line. No one deserves to have their vulnerabilities turned into weapons — no matter what they may have done wrong. We can feel empathy for the girl he may have hurt, while also recognizing that revealing such intimate, personal details to the public wasn’t the right way to seek justice.
At the end of the day, they’re both young humans who have been through a lot. They both deserve a chance to heal, to reflect, and to live better lives moving forward.
We don't have to choose sides to believe in second chances. Ziyu isn't a monster or a criminal — he's a flawed person, just like any of us. That doesn’t mean blind forgiveness. But it does mean we should stop treating personal mistakes as career-ending scandals.
If we look at him only through the lens of this one moment, we erase all the pain he overcame to get here — and all the good he’s still capable of doing.
Nah, I don’t think it was filler at all. I actually feel like the next episode is gonna be wild.
This one was more like a breather — but in a good way. You can see how much Wu has changed, especially in how he’s approaching his relationship with Chi Cheng now. He’s actually trying — like, really trying — to respect both Chi Cheng and their dynamic. And that’s huge, considering how he was before.
Plus, he literally built that whole snake terrarium thing (or whatever it’s called 😅) just for Chi Cheng. That wasn’t just a gift — it was a way of saying “I see you, I accept you,” you know?
Meanwhile, we’re starting to get hints about Jiang Xiao Shuai and his ex, and that’s clearly gonna be important. To me, this episode was like a chill Sunday before Monday hits with full-on chaos. If they had thrown in Wang Shou’s full intro and Shuai’s ex drama and more Chi Cheng angst, it would've been way too much.
This pacing lets the emotional stuff land — like how Wu earned a bit more of Chi Cheng’s trust. No one’s ever done what Wu did for him. That matters.
Also, Gao’s reaction to the ex was just a teaser. Let things simmer now so it can blow up later. I’d rather they build tension slowly than rush everything in one go.
I love it when some revenged love fans don't hate desire unlike the others
Me personally, I just don’t vibe with A/B/O. The whole alpha, beta, omega setup feels a bit off, especially with things like men getting pregnant and women being able to get anyone pregnant. I know it's meant to be fantasy, but it leans heavily into rigid gender roles and biological determinism — like the idea that people act a certain way just because of their “rank” or biology. It can feel really limiting, especially when dynamics like dominance, submission, and heat cycles take over the story.
For some people, that’s the appeal — the intensity, the drama, the bond tropes — and that’s cool. But for others, like me, it just comes across as uncomfortable or even dehumanizing at times. So yeah, it’s not for everyone, and I think that’s completely valid.
In the trailer for ep 11, does he mean Chi Cheng ex is coming back or is Chi Cheng coming home after 6 years ??…
Girl WHATTT Chi Cheng Ain't coming home after 6 years (there ain't no fast fowording to no future),its Chi CHeng's ex (Wang Shou) that came back after Chi Cheng and him broke up.Its Ok to be lost sometimes 🥰
i just watched ep 1 and.. did that guy just let his men gang rape another guy ??? wtf ???
Yeah it is just to show how messed up he is and there isn't any glorifying into that,just plain out toxic characteristics ,if you don't want to watch it then, don't,your choice. But the rest is great thou ,again your choice.
I find your statement full of double standards when you give HIStory4: Close to you an 8*, where emotional and…
Wow. That’s a serious accusation—and completely false. Analyzing a character’s behavior in a story isn’t the same as condoning it. If you can’t separate critique of a narrative from real-world values, that’s on you. I never defended what Chi Cheng did. I said the writing was intentional, showing how broken he is and how his actions reflect that. That’s not apologizing—it’s interpreting.
What you're doing is taking a discussion about fiction and turning it into a personal attack. That doesn’t make your point stronger—it shows you don’t have one. If you genuinely care about holding media accountable, maybe start by engaging in thoughtful conversation instead of throwing out lazy, sensationalist insults
Also, people seriously can’t tell the difference between fiction and reality anymore.Chi Cheng is a problematic…
Totally fair that you can’t root for him—he’s done horrific things, and that’s valid. But I think the point isn't to justify his behavior because of his upbringing. It’s to explain it, which is different. Fiction often shows people at their worst to explore how they got there or whether they can change. That doesn’t mean we’re meant to like or forgive them—but understanding why they are the way they are adds weight to the story.
As for the wealth and the 'normalcy' of forced contracts in that world—that’s exactly part of the critique, isn’t it? The show’s showing how toxic that environment is and how it screws people up. And I get what you’re saying about not smoking being a low bar, but it’s a signal. A small moment that shows someone whose life is fueled by apathy and aggression actually choosing to be mindful, even a little, around someone he respects. That doesn't excuse what he’s done—but in storytelling, it's the cracks in the armor that matter.
Again, you don’t have to like him. But I think there's value in how uncomfortable the show makes us feel—it’s pushing at something raw. And sometimes that’s more powerful than just watching ‘good people do good things.
