bought the physical books, started reading again, on book 3, i remember the first time i started reading this novel, i was like yeah lets start and itll probably be released until i finish (cuz i usually read extremely slowly) then i finished 4 books in 2 days and was like 🧍🏻♀️ so what now
you know whats weird? i know that china is not only strict about gays when it comes to censorship, they also do not allow r4pe, too political (the ones that go against the system) etc scenes (afaik) and that they're extremely strict when it comes to mainstream dramas but less strict when it comes to webdramas. so this drama... i think if it was mainstream, it wouldnt even pass the censorship as it is literally WILD, i mean look at all the r4pe/ assault scenes, but if THOSE scenes passed the censorship, WHY IS THE SIDE CP BROMANCE? NOT BL? IS SA OKAY BUT NOT ROMANCE BETWEEN 2 MEN?
i was checking out the directors other works and i noticed there is a short movie called Painted Skin: The Guo Jingming Edition (2020), then when i searched the name painted skin on tiktok, veil of shadows appeared (the other name of this drama is painted skin ig?) are they related or?
