I think the point in the book to include the cousin is to point out that Omegas can be badasses even though they are more submissive due to biology. the same goes for SWL omega father storyline. I think it is important to have such characters represent Omegas otherwise only with Gao Tu and his mother as characters in the novel on would think Omegas are born to only be doormats

My headcanon after watching ep13: while Hua Yong was the one who decided to make perfume and cosmetic products with SSY scent later on Shen Wen Lang decided they should also make toilet cleaner with SSY scent because SWL is so fed up with HYs obsession and his plan which also forced SWL to play along. with this I want to state my theory that at least in the series HY does genuinely care for his not-friend or ally SWL otherwise with the toilet cleaner move SWL would be at least bankrupt by HYs hands

I assume his birthday is a pun for him being the top. As I understand top and bottom roles are sometimes described as 1 and 0 in Chinese novels. The scriptwriters were jokingly “cementing “ his role with Jan 11th

I think Eliot Huang would also be great as Shen Zechuan if QJJ ever gets adapted. Also he would be a great Wei Lian from "an empire as a betrothal gift". Hope he takes more acting projects in the future

This actor would be such a great cast for the role Wei Lian if the novel "An empire as a betrothal gift" ever gets an adaptation. Also he would be great for the role Shen Zechuan from the novel QJJ.

As someone who watched the first 5 episodes and immediately ran to read the full novel because of Hua Yong I want to point out that his character is a compelling black lotus because he has no remorse at all. He was genuinely sad that SSY found out too early because of the earthquake but he did not regret anything he has done so far. A fresh take to all other scum gongs in danmei who eventually regret their sins to their partner. HY is manipulative and stays so although he did not lie anymore after the earthquake. He still avoids questions but he doesn't ever tell any lies to SSY anymore. My absolute favourite character in any danmei so far and also in any BL. He is evil and stays evil while not really doing evil stuff later on (steering X Holding to legal bussiness, helping HS, donating money left and right, cares for and loves his family and also his friends SWL and GT)

I agree with you wholeheartedly. This level of directing ruins the scenes and lessen the series quality. Abwarten position for HY actor and fully dressed on the upper body after the kiss and while doing the deeds is weird. don't need nudity but at least film from the bare shoulders and don't cut out all deep kissing moments

That’s a good take I will join you in this head canon

Thanks now you mention it I recall the scene in hospital. So those idiots in his family who assumed he was an omega didn’t know he has blood type e

Although I love this series I don’t think it’s a masterpiece by any means. Directing is at least weak if not abysmal. The editing is also very unprofessional. The acting is very solid but only for HY and GT, SSY is pretty ok and SWL actor is very unconvincing. So if MDL was a platform for objective rating then 8.1 is too much. But seeing the amount of shows with 10 point reviews and ratings based only on whether love the show or not I think I would also rate this higher with an 8.5

I’m confused about which factor defines the ABO gender. From intro in ep1 most watchers assume that humans with AB blood type don’t exist anymore and so blood type A means Alpha, B will become Beta an O will present as Omega. So which blood type does Hua Yong have then? How come no one questions his Enigma gender? The novel states he presented relatively late without elaborating whether his doctors knew that he is an Enigma while some from his family thought he was an Omega. Even after reading the novel with all extra chapters I don’t have an answer. Can someone help please?
