although I didn't want Yan Zijing to die, the writers were quite clever in how they handled it. I was upset right up until the moment we learned that Duan Wu knew and was trying to save him. that added element gave Duan Wu agency. I can accept this ending.
I'd say, I agree with what YZJ is doing. It's undoubtedly that if he gets romantically involved with SMZ that…
to me the main issue is when he drugged Duan Wu. he took away her ability to act and choose for herself. I understand his thought process, but it's not a good mentality to have in a relationship. so he's got some growth to do.
he's on the Weibo hot search right now because he streamed for over 5 hours last night, hahaha! it's not even THAT unusual, he's done that lots of times before. there's a reason he won the Weibo Livestream King award for 2021, 2022, and 2023!
