"THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!" no it is not, it's good only if you like rapist and romanticized SA, and if you do you've a problem."

So this must be written from your other self apparently. And no that’s not what romanticize means. They’re not all black and white, there are so many gray zones that apparently you cannot explore. I’m ending this here. There’s no point to keep arguing with a clueless person. I feel like I’m talking with a child. You said what you said. Just bear the consequences of your words.

🤣🤣🤣

You know that you can like a series without liking its characters or agreeing with their actions, right? And I didn't say you called us rapists, but you clearly said that anyone who likes series that include SA has a problem. You cannot make accusations like that and expect us not to respond. In this kind of series, dark romance, that's the whole point. The chaos, the intriguing element, that's what we like, not the characters or their actions. Also, where have you seen so far in the series, (if you have actually watched the episodes and are not just forming an opinion from the comments you read), that the series romanticizes Lu Feng? Because so far, that is exactly what it is not doing.

🤣🤣🤣 The irony!
Well, the last thing I care about is whether she likes the show or not.
The point is, if she goes around accusing people of being problematic just for liking it, someone needs to call her out and set her straight.

Right, because apparently enjoying a fictional story now means you fully endorse every single thing any character does. That’s quite a leap, but sure... Let’s just throw media literacy out the window and pretend nuance doesn’t exist. Next I guess every crime drama viewer like criminals and every horror fan is a psychopath. Honestly impressive how confidently you’re making accusations off of absolutely nothing.
The problem is YOU and your narrow-minded selfish attitude.

Okay, so all that debate we had was mostly because I misunderstood what you were saying. I reread your replies and honestly I wouldn’t have been able to understand your reasoning at all if you hadn’t explained it in your last comment. I’m sorry if I offended you. In my defence, I really thought you were referring to the people replying to that specific post and not to general comments defending Lu Feng and what he does. That really is messed up.

Our boys are making history here 🥹

4 episodes 😭😭😭
Well, we don't know the duration yet, but still...

I'm not sure if it's true, but fans say it will be released on this channel. It has four hidden videos!

Girl, where I live, 6 p.m. China time is literally in like three and a half hours! I already postponed my appointments at work for today (thank God I didn’t have many), and I’ve been searching everywhere like a mad woman trying to find out where we’ll be able to watch it. It seems like they’re gonna upload it through some private Chinese streaming link first and release it later on a platform for international fans or something like that, the Weibo translations aren’t the best. Times like this make me wish I knew Mandarin 🤣

Just saw it, and I'm literally screaming 😭😭😭

🤣🤣🤣

They're probably going to change some things, otherwise it would require a huge budget to film it.

Honestly, I do find those kinds of comments a bit off, maybe because I don’t really like it when characters like that get romanticized. I enjoy the chaos, the drama, and the intrigue that these shows bring, but I definitely don’t excuse their actions in any way. I guess I’m just tired of seeing people being judged for enjoying these kinds of stories, as if we were kids who can’t tell fiction from real life.

• "The fact that a large amount of people here is okay with the SA is highly alarming."
• "But for normal people, SA is a huge deal in the real world, fake world, fiction, whatever you might label it."
• "if SAing someone you love passes as normal to you and half the comment section, to the point where y'all are rooting for this romance, then congratulations, I guess."

Those were some of your words that clearly come across as moral policing of other people’s perspectives. Your last comment feels like it came from a completely different person. I don’t know what to say to you…

And fyi, I never said I liked LF. As the matter of fact, I personally love to hate him and I would prefer that they don't end up together.

Girl, you keep writing dissertations about “media literacy” while proving in real time that you have none 😭
Nobody is confusing fiction with reality here except YOU. You’re the one acting like people enjoying a fictional toxic relationship means they’re out here endorsing crimes IRL. That’s actually insane.
And the “murder has narrative logic but SA doesn’t” take might genuinely be one of the dumbest things I’ve read today 💀
So murder is acceptable storytelling because YOU personally approve the motive? Revenge and survival suddenly make it classy? Spare me.
You also keep saying “I’m focusing on the story” while completely ignoring the actual genre conventions of dark BL and toxic fiction in general. These stories are literally built around obsession, control, possessiveness and morally fucked-up dynamics. That’s the point. People watch for the intensity and drama, not because they’re taking relationship advice from fictional psychos.

Exactly! At this point they’re more obsessed with these stories than the actual fans 🤣Like damn, if something makes you that miserable, just stop consuming it and move on.
Meanwhile I’ll just sit back and watch the chaos unfold when LF kidnaps Xiao Chen 😂

Save it, sis. I've read all your comments under this post already. Keep rumbling though. Your explanations and examples still suck.

I've seriously turned into one of those Chinese fans in the comments who analyze every single movement and glance in actors' interviews 🤣
I blame XiZhao and their insane chemistry/aura for this!
Full delulu mode on: hear me out. Go watch that statement again and pay attention to the way Yanzhao looks at Changxi when he says we're getting a second season. Doesn't it feel like he's warning him with his eyes? And then he immediately corrects himself and starts speaking more vaguely.
At this point I'm convinced it's already a done deal, they're just not allowed to say anything yet 😭
