I just want to remind everyone who thinks this is a BL (Boys' Love) series to please stop 😭😭assuming that. If this series were truly a BL series, it wouldn't have passed the review process or received a distribution license from the National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA) in China.
For some context, back in 2020-2021, the Chinese government implemented strict regulations on media content, particularly regarding LGBTQ+ themes. These regulations, which specifically target BL content, were part of an effort to restrict the portrayal of same-sex relationships in television, film, and online media. The government made it clear that such content, if it promotes or showcases LGBTQ+ relationships, would face heavy censorship or be entirely banned from distribution.
The NRTA has stringent guidelines that any series must adhere to if it's going to be broadcast in China. For a series that includes LGBTQ+ themes to be approved, it has to be heavily altered or censored to fit within those guidelines. That means any show with open BL elements, or even characters shipped in a same-sex relationship, is very unlikely to pass the review process.
So agan, I ask that everyone remembers the context here. Due to these government-imposed censorship rules, a true BL series wouldn't be able to pass the review or obtain a distribution license. The content we’re seeing, even if it has some LGBTQ+ themes, likely doesn't fit the typical BL genre as we know it, because it’s been modified to meet the necessary standards for distribution in China.
😓 what BL aspect are y'all talking about cause their relationship is very much giving siblings/ consider each…
Yup, if this is a BL series, they will not pass the review and obtain a distribution license from the NRTA. Also, we already know that China has imposed new regulations regarding BL censorship, right? But why is someone thinking of this as BL and shipping them?
I came here from TikTok after seeing some posts and comments where people are tagging this as BL.
I already know that BL content from China has been censored. Additionally, all BL content from China has already been removed from its original platforms (Domestic).

I hope this series has a happy ending if it follows the novel. This series is also under iQIYI Love On. Remember, Snowy Night Timeless Love, A Beautiful Lie, and Fangs of Fortune are also part of this category and have sad endings.

Bromance content is allowed in China, as the country already has BL censorship.

So, it's definitely not a BL; it passed the review. I saw some comments on TikTok shipping them and asking why it's not a BL 😭😭.
