Why?

It was more of a question as to how somebody still can think that Shulang, who so far has shown to be very loyal towards Lu Zhen, is the one who will cheat.

I do agree that I think Lu Zhen his behavior isnt anything to write home about, he definitely crossed a couple lines. Especially with the whole lying about why he had to cancel plans to meet a guy he barely knows, long lasting future plans as they mentioned they wanted to get married abroad. Yes I feel sorry for Shulang too, he doesn’t deserve it, even though he does flirt with Fan Xiao, he’s been quite clear, he has a partner. Mentioned a couple times that Fan Xiao should create some distance and stop being so clingy. Lu Zhen hasnt even mentioned he has a partner, indirectly reducing his relationship to Shulang as family, not to mention what happened in this last episode. When Shulang is drugged to feel lust, his muddled thoughts were still with Lu Zhen, can’t say the same thing about Lu Zhen.

BTW I read the novel 😉

You really think it’s going to be Shulang who cheats on Lu Zhen?

Do you mean me? My reaction was because people kept complaining about the SA. It’s fiction, there’s a difference.

Ageeed and same! I see this as how some people like reading Dark Romance books, and some don’t.

Seeing as it was a big part of the novel, I can’t even imagine them leaving it out. This series isn’t for the faint of hearts, if you don’t feel comfortable, you don’t have to watch. I’ll say this though, if you didn’t like Hua Yong (Desire) you probably will not like Fan Xiao.

If we go look even further there have been so many red flags, The Untamed had Wei Wuxian, Word of Hony had Wen Kexing, Meet you at the Blossom had Huai En. This ML isn’t the first toxic lead and won’t be the last. Like i said I don’t condone it, but I also can’t hide the fact that I like finally seeing mature, adult series, instead of the constant fluff Thailand is continually making and airing.

Please do, you don’t have to watch every series or every BL! Before this series even started there have been a lot of warnings that this series wasnt for the faint of hearts. I hope you find something that you like more.

There is an episode 37 or not really a whole episode, but more like a small scene, which maybe helps you with your pain. I think it might be on YouTube. And yes he did say I Love You, but rumors have it, it was removed because of the censorship.

Thank you.

So let’s get one thing clear, I don’t condone what Fan Xiao did. But there has been multiple warnings from people here on MDL (who have for example read the novel), on social media even Gaga made a trigger warning in their social media pages that this episode was going to have non consensual scenes. Even before this series started multiple people (including me) have said, “hey this series is not for the faint of heart, if you didn’t like Hua Yong for what he did, you will not like Fan Xiao”. I think most on this page are not praising Fan Xiao, we just knew what to expect. Especially those who read the novel. I do think this MDL should have the non consensual or SA tag added on. So my question is did you not read those comments? Did you think it would be an exaggeration?

So far I’ve read 48 of the 118 chapters, the rest is waiting to be translated. In those 48 episodes You Shulang has not yet found out about Fan Xiao. After You Shulang and Lu Zhen break up, Fan Xiao does kind of double his attention towards Shulang. According to the novel entry in the end it is a happy ending. But a lot of things happen, and Shulang will take revenge at some point. So I have not yet got all the answers to your questions.

https://chrysanthemumgarden.com/novel-tl/ffb/ here’s the website I’ve been reading the novel, the title is Four Faced Buddha.

Yes it was in the novel and no You Shalung didnt found out it was Fan Xiao, but he found the guy who drugged him. Who was a friend of Shi Libua (guy who dropped unconscious You Shulang of at Fan’s house).

After reading parts of the novel, I really can’t stand Lu Zhen anymore. In the beginning I felt kind of bad and sympathetic towards him but not anymore. Even during the break up, he had to verbally kick You Shalung further down, it’s ridiculous really. And I do really hope they keep that entire exchange between You Shulang and Lu Zhen into the series. You Shulang deserved better, not saying that Fan Xiao is necessary better, but so far he at least treasure’s You Shalung a lot more.

Spoiler for those who do not want to know down below!

Try Viki, for some reason Gaga has restricted this series for certain reagents. I live in Europe and my Gaga also doesn’t have it.

I agree. From the two of them Lu Zhen is the one who really swayed, only good thing is Lu Zhen breaks up the relationship before anything really happened. But I hate the fact that Lu Zhen very easily could cancel plans, long lasting future plans with Shulang for somebody who he barely knows. And like Shulang said in the recent episode, anything he can give Lu Zhen he will.

ep 3. Definitely ep 3.

Oh definitely, Lu Zhen likes to be spoiled.

Agreed! Even though Shulang is flirting back, he is very clear. He has said a couple times that Fan should keep some distance and should stop with the “clingy stuff”, mentioned his partner a couple times. The same you cannot say about Lu Zhen. Even in episode 2 saying family instead of partner to Fan. When I was reading the novel my eyebrows flew up a couple times while reading those chapters, especially the part where Lu Zhen never cooked for Shulang, while here he is cooking for a guy, who never even said he liked him.
