Oh, another thing. I saw something about mud from Weibo being dragged here, and that reminds me. If any Xiang Liu fans have an account there, feel free to send me a message :) Always nice to meet new folks. Only fans, please. No discrimination, but just to avoid unnecessary stress and premature aging.
Rant alert:I skimmed through the leaked scripts and am speechless, SPEECHLESS. How could they do XL and CX (and…
Funny you mention that because some changes were very much done with the goal to make a ~certain~ character look good. Since you said it basically did *all* of them dirty (which I agree), I'm wondering much worse can it get 😹 Not gonna lie, this is all starting to became more and more hilarious with each passing day.
I know you're a Cang Xuan fan so my condolences in advance for your loss (of character accuracy). But feel comforted by the fact he still is the main ML and that he's a favorite of many people as well. Heck, if it wasn't for Xiang Liu, he would be the one whose name I would like tattooed on my forehead even though I don't agree with some of his choices. Long Live the King.
I got a lovely little private message just now asking me where I was because things were starting to get interesting, so I came to see what's been happening here :) As always, it never disappoints aheueheueheueheu
Anyhoo, something that caught my eye was, as usual, about Xiang Liu (yeah, yeah, I know). That he is *checks notes* a...ahem... typical morally grey character. Since that's the case, can someone please give me recommendations for a drama with a guy like Xiang Liu? I can't do with the Wimpy and Limpy trope anymore, so how about something that's more my style, a.k.a., a Xiang Liu-like dude from head(s) to toe? Platinum hair is optional but certainly preferred.
I'll wait for the list. You can skip Love Between Fairy and Devil because even though I love that one, Dongfang bae doesn't come close (sorry Wooden Head, you lost this round). Thanks for your time.
Hmm you had me agreeing right up until the question, because I believe XL wanted to ask "Do you want to marry/be…
This part here is where our views are fundamentally different:
"I have always thought that Xiangliu had always been tempted to be an option for Xiaoyao but he never could take the first step and put himself into the ring, because he thought he would lose. This proud guy seemed to me that he has a mindset that he wants her love, not only her companionship? He was not going to settle to be only friends."
1) "Xiangliu had always been tempted to be an option for Xiaoyao". No. It's the complete opposite. He never wanted to be an option for Xiao Yao even though he was because he knew he couldn't fulfill her requirements of never abandoning her. Hence all his pushing her away and hiding everything behind the guise of "transactions". She was the one that had to be convinced he shouldn't be an option.
2) "he wants her love, not only her companionship? He was not going to settle to be only friends." No. He already had her love, they were never just friends. The Lovers Bugs are proof of that. Also, the Lovers Bugs were never a disadvantage. It was his way of knowing she loved him too, no matter how much she tried to lie to herself.
3) "The couple bug connection he had with Xiaoyao was actually to his disadvantage". See the point above. The bugs never turned on any of them. So whatever she felt for Jing never threatened the bugs.
4) "It just never got to the point where he would even consider leaving his foster father, because it never came close enough for him to think he would be an option." Again, it's the complete opposite. He was absolutely an option, that's why he never wanted her to know everything he did and he erased every memory she had of him. Because he was the one option she could never have since he would never be able to leave his foster father.
I agree with Haveninmuse. He knew how much of an option he was, how much he couldn't bear to be an option considering his situation, but he also wanted to know her answer.

P.S.: I'm talking about his Little Theater videos ya bunch of pervs 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol, OnlyFans. Ok bye.
