Daffodils

Such fascinating reflection @Yerisina. The link you made to the redemption arch by the end is so moving. Brilliant.

Filming official inauguration day - Jin Jin is support cast in the series, but Lagogos made him feel a star. His fans display was beautiful and he was so touched, thanking everybody but also very shy.

ZheXu left quietly. He was mainly silent and did not interact much with Lagogos in the airport. It is understandable.

We always can trust Jin Jin to know extra information about this CP. In yesterday's live he was talking about their clothes. He said now they have clothes "to choose from". Do they have a proper CP management and could be this connected with the fact they have more clothes available , or it is simply they have more income to buy more clothes? They certainly have CP assistant with them most of the time. The next activity for them is the Fan Meeting on 29 November 2025, so a bit of a wait for them to meet again.

Jin Jin is a beauty really. How long will take for him to have more protagonist roles? Some fans comment that is very likely Jin Jin will climb faster that ZheXu. I really don't know ZheXu is an excellent actor. Would looks have so much weight in an acting career in China? My friends say they do, and towering tall handsome men look to be chosen nowadays for MLs more than acting abilities. I have high hopes for both of them to grow steadily 🙏

That's true Y, it is so sad that people in this business just loose all their right to privacy. Fortunately, they are well liked because the second effect of loosing their privacy is public scrutiny. My friend in China said that because there is no toxic masculinity among Chinese boys in general, male actors in the industry can get away with been "very closed" without being labelled as "gay", which is the problem for them, not for the society at large, but for people in the acting profession.

Thank you!

I wanted to show you what is not fan service. This clip is not fan service. Fans are not allowed in the site so this is taken with a zoom lens and you can see the quality of their relationship is genuinely closed

Yes Y, this could be too.

Yes!!! I have had the same questions as you. I think we need to question these aspects. Agree that he is very smart, very savvy and I am not sure about his feeling about this brother. At moments, he looks really sincere towards him. Would he make a good ruler? He is very pragmatic but he is also very cruel too.

Vblog - 2nd part of walking around the city discovering cats! They went to the rooftop place too.

They were also live!, they are amazing, so generous to their audience. This part is really funny

This is interesting, ZheXu walked the red carpet with other two actors that have been in Chinese BLs . I have not seen the other two BLs.

You too Rainbows, I really value our conversations.

Aki if you are interested in knowing more about this actor, his weibo account is:

I am glad you think that way.

We have discussed a lot about this with @Rainbows and @River. In China an actor cannot come out as gay if they want to have a job in the acting profession. They will be blacklisted. So even if they are together, we will never know and we should not know too. Certainly, they are super close and committed to keep working as a CP which is lovely as I so enjoy watching their vblogs. I would like to add that my Chinese friends who live in China have told me that everything that CP actors do while there is a camera/mobile phone in front of them is considered fan service there. Couples in the acting profession carry their romance strictly in private.

I do appreciate your position and mostly I agree with you.

I found this, I think it is a very funny approach "a bit in between" you see you can enjoy and not be really bother about it.

Please tell me what SMY and BHH stand for?

In Thailand, Korea, China, even in Japan fan service is not a scam. Most is done while promoting a series and is playful and harmless. It is well known in these countries what fan services is. It is true that sometimes fans are plain silly and fell for it. In Korea think of K Pop, I never follow BTS but I understand Junkook is paired with V - famous Taekook, but others imagine Junkook is with Jimin irl, and those two shipper groups got to war about it. It is shocking . XuJin is lovely, I don't know what they are and honestly we should not care. It is their lives. I see them as my favourite comedy duo. Here in UK there have been famous comedy duos that have last for decades performing. They are funny, sweet, with a tremendous chemistry, so kind to each other. It does warm my heart. Which benefit would be for me to know they are a gay couple? none, on the contrary, because it would mean they will stop performing together. So why to push them to stop? Fan/followers should be caring towards the people they admire. You say is actors and agencies responsibility that this fans fell for it. In a way they are, but they trust that most of the followers are discerning people. There is a BL Thai blogger that says it very well: " I am the fan they are serving, fake or not, I don't care, I love it". Here you are not all shippers are blind.

Indeed. Very well said.

indeed Y, there is a lot we dont know. I like your reasoning that he sacrified too much for this kingdom to not care or not even try. the other big question is what happens to the Prime Minister?

Indeed. Xu went to jin hotel when he was not there. Then went to set wait for him. They left together by 2 am when jin finished working both entered to the hotel but xu left to his hotel. They were so tired. I wonder if Xu would have rest there if not not for those people filming. In any case, my chinese friend who lives in China always tell me everything done when somebody is filming is considered fan service there. Real couples in the industry hide. XuJin both lives in Beijing so if they are real they will date without cameras. They used to do this before Kill to Love was released.

There have been quite a few outrageous re-telling of narratives at this level. I am trying to remember one totally scandalous. It was a k-drama that should have been a BL. When I remember I will mention it to you.
