Whoever updated tjc dp pls tell me how u did it. Like what reason did u give. How did u get it accepted??!
Ah yes, that's me. 🙋🏻♀️ It took me a while to find a photo that checked all the requirements (no accessories, no sexy looks - lol -, nothing covering the actor's face etc.).
I tweaked a bit with it to remove a watermark and saved it in the right proportion (300px X 360px). The reason I gave was that the previous one had a somewhat busy background, and this one is cleaner (and more gorgeous, but I digress). It took less than a day to get approved. Not sure if it was beginner's luck or if it's not as difficult as MDL's urban legends make it out to be 😄

Yes! Back when I was watching the first episode and didn't know what was going on, I saw that scene on the end credits, and I got so confused. Who's this guy and why is he so important? The visual language, that's precisely the term.

You make a really good point in trying to defend a character like Jing. I've read a lot of novels in my lifetime (👵🏻), but it's the first time I've encountered a traditionally good character who made my skin crawl as much as it does with him.
I often think of Jamie Fraser from Outlander as the ultimate good, naive hero, but he's such a powerhouse in both the novel and TV show, that no person on Earth could call him weak. Even though he's been tortured, he's been lashed almost to death, not to mention that awful, horrid scene with Captain Black Jack Randall. He's extremely naive compared to Claire, and on top of that, there's the age difference (in the novel, on the show, in real life). But the word weak doesn't come to mind. There are countless other characters portrayed as soft-spoken, greenest of green flags, but they are vastly different from Jing in terms of characterization, and they can't be considered weak at all. Far from it.
So that's my main gripe with his character. I should have been rooting for him from the beginning but I cannot. Which makes no sense, because why wouldn't I want the good guy to win? It's just like you said, I can't feel the romance. I feel nothing, only frustration. This is a pity because it is indeed a central part of the story, but it makes everything so hard to come to terms with. I'm quite sure that even if Xiang Liu's character didn't exist, I'd be rooting for Cang Xuan instead, or even FengLong. I wish I could see what you see but even reading the excerpts from the novel makes little sense to me.
