Not bad. In the ocean of the crappy BL series airing this year, this one is quite decent. Hong Kong rarely disappoints…
never. making bl for women is much more lucrative. unless the gays are buying merch, advertised products like make up and skincare, going to fanmeets and concerts, making tiktok edits,... there's no motivation pleasing the gay audience. gays could start writing romance novels, too. if the female audience like them, they might get an adaptation pleasing both audiences.
and for a while chusan is "dating" a girl to make his father happy but there's no real separation arc. the novel is not following typical love story clichés. there are phases were they aren't together but not really separated either. it's more like a long-distance relationship due to circumstances and parallel lifes. the biggest obstacle is for both agreeing to their motivations and finally working together to fulfill each others dream.
did qing long like xia lui? if yes, then it's highkey fucked upgrooming shouldnt be normalised like this, even…
how is this grooming? there's no abuse. he wasn't interested in the sister, but the sister was in love anyways. he only married her because her brother wished for it. he loved the brother but never crossed the line. he wanted to be like an older brother to them, family.

no. 2 policeman hook up. more like friends with benefits
the novel has many couples. so there's one with an underground cop and a gang member but I doubt we will see this minor side story at all which happens much later.
