Remember the scene in which shulang is drugged? Well fan xiao and his friends planned to pretend to drug a girl in front of shulang to see how he'll react. They pretend bai ting is an employee in bao tians company when actually she's a hostess in the club they're at. Shulang saves her from getting drugged by drinking those spiked drinks himself.
Later on he has a doubt that fan xiao was behind his drugging so he goes to the same club and meets bai ting and asks her whether fan xiao was involved.
She confirms he was. Now fan xiao is using her to threaten shulang, since he knows shulang may not care about his teacher or brother but he'll surely care about an innocent girl.

Yes i know, I've read her books too but she focuses more on the romance part while meatbun has complex plotlines alongside romance.

Ohh u mean the ml in my stand in? Bro he's nothing in front of meatbuns seme 😭😭😭😭 They are so toxic that you'll lose ur mind by the end of the novel 🥀🥀🥀 but she writes these characters so well that u can't even hate them especially since the seme is the main character and narrator.

Meatbun is a chinese bl author and she writes the most toxic, gut wrenching, angsty books you'll ever read. Her most popular book is husky and his white cat shizun. Usually in her books, the mc is the top and younger than the ml. Age gap are her thing. Right now, im reading another one of her books called case file compendium and it has an age gap of 13 years. Mc is 19 and ml is 32. If u like enemies to soulmates with a huge amount of misunderstanding and literally the best smut you will ever grace your eyes on then you should definitely check her out. But pls be warned, the mc (top) is usually very rude and toxic to the ml but the redemption arcs are really good so its worth it. One of my fav authors.

Its not that bad. Fiction can make anything look good, even im out here questioning my morals because of fan xiao 😭

Go on chrysanthemumgarden.com and search four faced buddha

Ending of ep 3 had me SHOOK 😭😭 i love this sm omg

People losing their mind over this show will probably jump off a cliff if they ever read a meatbun novel. 🥀

I've been meaning to say this for a while. Abo desire was good, they tried something new but lets be real, it was lacking in a lot of places, sometimes the scenes felt flat, the cinematography was good in beginning but kept getting mid later on. The acting didn't hit at all sometimes yet people loved it (i think because the cast was pretty). BUT to my shore has everything that abo desire was lacking, it has so much depth that i don't think i can ever rewatch abo desire again, my standards have been increased. I wish the cast and this show gets more love, its seriously underrated.
As for the people hating fan xiao's looks, imma be honest, im not from china and i don't like that extremely white washed beauty standards, i think he looks phenomenal and one of the most attractive men I've ever seen. His skintone is very beautiful.

You should read their nsfw chapter in the novel, its crazyyy

Their ages have never been specified but according to the hints, shulang is in early 30s and fan xiao is in mid 20s.

Shulang had such a huge reaction to fan xiao saying "you can only get pleasure from being under a man now" because apparently in the novel, shulang had touched himself in the bathroom and since it wasn't as satisfying, he touched himself in the rear too which was obviously seen by fan xiao as he has cameras everywhere.
FAN XIAO MF I HATE U 😭😭😭😭😭😭 that was such a low blow.

Wait ikr??? The age gap and shulang reminds me so much of xie qingcheng. But its not even half as toxic as case file compendium 😭 nobody can beat meatbun in angst.

But shulang isn't the type to run and hide, he takes everything head on, doesn't matter if it ends up hurting him. And that's why i love him, he's a complete no BS guy.

I tried to watch it again and it is unwatchable as hell 😭🙏

I remember watching this back in 2017, that was the first time i pulled an all nighter to watch a series. Maybe if i watched it today, i wouldn't have liked it that much but that time when i was 11 and had just started reading wattpad, this was the best show i had ever watched.

That nsfw scene was so good, i wish they keep all the conversation they had while doing it.

Also can we talk about how the acting, cinematography just keeps getting better by every episode? 🙏

Fan xiao is doing all he can to corner shulang and make him come back again. Threatening him by using his teachers career, his brothers life, bai tings life but what he doesn't realizes that even if shulang does come back to him under pressure from all sides, IT WON'T BE THE SAME. He's sooo desperate to just have him by his side. That being said, i love that shulang isn't a self sacrificing person and can confidently take decisions that are good for HIM. BUT there's a limit to everything which we saw was broken at the end and as a novel reader, IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS PART BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE THE ACTUAL REDEMPTION ARC STARTS.

You shulang looks so damn cute in that doctors coat 😭😭😭😭😭
