I’m reading the novel and, Fam! I cannot wait for these scenes to be revealed, since the whole production is trying to stay as true to the original as possible. Hua Yong is something else and I lowkey love him. Poor ShaoYou had no chance from D1 15 years ago. There are some crazy events in the novel before he finds out though. I’m only on chapter 45 though.
He’s just horny af. In the novel he had to wait 2 years for the cake. They did some fooling around, but he didn’t…
Yeah. I think the timeframe is similar. The Lunar year following other events show months had passed since their first meet already. Chi Cheng marking the time between visits as 5 or 6 days, plus other clues as you mentioned, help show a good portion of time passes. In the novel, SuoWei had been hospitalized for a month after the python incident. And Wang Shuo had been back in the country for 6 months beginning in January when he’d encountered ChengYu. I think this extended period of time had been hinted at during their scene at the snake farm.
I wonder how they’ll tie in today’s episode with Zefang’s ghost watching them (where was he all this time-…
Real. The cliffhangers make me wish the days would go by faster when I should be enjoying every precious day of my summer and wishing it were longer. 😂

Yeah it is. I had to reread the timeframe more than once. Weeks? Months? YEARS?! I was like, Damn Chi Cheng and ChengYu are PARIENT but very VERY blueballed. I understand their short outbursts of impatience better as a result. I think ChengYu waits 3 years in the novel. Poor guy.
I think this drama is going to outdo all the BL. The trailer is too good. Fingers crossed lest I jinx it.
RL is in a class by itself. No other BL has shut down the servers of a major streaming app for hours more than once. They definitely opened the floodgates. I can’t help but root for every uncensored Chinese BL that follows (we have The Promise of the Soul and Secret Lover- Taiwan, I know, but still- since The On1y One and Unknown, Taiwan was falling behind). ABO Desire probably would also be shutting down servers if it weren’t for their ability to spread their reach between many streaming apps, so the load is more distributed. I think this new drama, based on the trailer, will also be trendsetting for sure. I’m eagerly anticipating its release. It’s the reign of China in the BL world. “Phi” who? 😂 I and others have been saying that once China overcomes the censorship bans, they’d rule the BL market.
I’m more interested in the story tbh. I can’t WAIT to see this. Me hoping this exceeds my expectations 🙏🏾…
Oh man! The craze over RL is one for the history books on BL. I’m an unapologetic addict consuming anything RL-related…I can’t imagine waiting until the 26th! You are strong for sure! 😊
I agree, steamy without a plot, even with visuals in abundance, is the death of many dramas. I’m thinking of the inumerable Thai BLs with subpar acting but established/popular couples carrying the forgettable series. As a more mature BL watcher, I’m now a little more selective and drop these series way more quickly. I don’t judge those who do love them though. For me, TopForm wasn’t it but I know many people swoon over it. I prefer the webtoon or anime. I also know I’m a minority in this. I felt the same about My Golden Blood and felt Your Sky didn’t deserve the hype it got, either. But that’s just my opinion, which carries little weight for fans of those series. I’m good with that.
Contrarily, I also loved My Stubborn. It was silly and absurd, but going in with that mindset made me enjoy each episode. Will I watch it again? Probably not. It was amusing though.
Omg. Did anyone notice that Chicheng isn't wearing his silver bracelet anymore. Instead he's wearing his couple's…
I wonder if the bracelet was given to him by Wang Shuo… The novel didn’t say and we have no clues in the drama. Or maybe the diamond bracelet isn’t and valuable to him as the couple watch
OMG yes please. Time to read the novel in advance. 😉 I’m not gonna trust the short length part until we have more info because I’m still hopeful it’ll be at least 40 30-min episodes 😂
is it me or Chi Cheng looks like he is high the whole time lol ? anyways the actor did a good job portraying this…
He’s just horny af. In the novel he had to wait 2 years for the cake. They did some fooling around, but he didn’t get to eat the cake, just taste the frosting, for 2 years. And he was exclusive. The look he has all the time I interpret as hungry- starving even. Poor guy
OMG I can’t with China. Fellow Addicts, I just saw a trailer for another BL Kill to Love. Another series to obsess over for sure. This one is a period drama. China did not come to play! It’s like they had a meeting and said 2025 is OURS! I’m here for it. If it airs while RL and ABO are airing, I need it to be on Wednesday so I can fill my week a little more so the wait for each series is a little less painful. 😂

It's a big problem that they are sharing it with out eng subtitle. the chanel could've had 100k more subscribers…
I’m obsessed enough to take screenshots of the subtitles and use Google Translate to find out what they’re saying. A language barrier won’t stop me! 🙂↔️🤭🤫
