I can't deny it, I love me a strong dominant pretty boy 😍😍.In the synopsis they call him a 'little lily'…
I think it is used symbolically to explain how he is percieved vs who he is. But I also think the choice of using flowers to explain him is related to his pheromones. (Another user explained abo hierarchy and pheromones in a comment below)
The things that I really like with this show is that the character Chi Cheng is believable to me. He clearly is an adult who is attracted to men. The tension between him and WSW is off the charts. I think a lot of BLs really fail at making good dark characters, but even more so, I have a hard time believing some of the characters (lacking depth, bad dialogs, cringe acting etc..) - but not in this case. WSW is also a really fun, cringey (but still believable!) and chaotic character with depth, and they balance eachother so well.
