ML is batshit crazy

The origin of this obsession for me. A villain ML with no redemption arc. 严子贤 can't take no for an answer.

Re-steal the bride. 李菲 has both a beautiful crying face, and can hold crazy face forever without blinking.

My max rating for verticals is 9.5, this is the one and only exception. 赵振栋 is a lunatic until the very last scene. No redemption arc

Double identity, forced abortion, contract prostitution. Love in the Edge of Divorce is the watered down version

ML seeks revenge the people who killed FL but he hallucinates so hard that he is still able to interact with her. I love seeing 申浩男 cry.

The vertical version of Tale of Love and Loyalty, 申浩男 crying and losing his mind

Two psychopaths trying to heal the other one, 张翅 can really beg with his eyes.

DD/bg, this version is the most Charming Gentleman Mask.

Lots of lines are delivered while staring directly into the camera. Really makes the crazy feel real

A woman is reborn and decides to tame the "break her legs and chain her to the furniture" ML who imprisoned her because he killed himself at her funeral.

Build your own psychopath. 黄星 is raised to not have feelings.

angsty xianxia, 黄靖洲 needs 杨弋墨's blood and heart to survive

This one jumps right into an abusive relationship in the first scene. 沉思 as a red flag simp.

严子贤 plays two people, an evil twin and a has-good-intentions twin.

A "break her legs and chain her to the furniture" type is reborn and needs to hide The Crazy. 张翅

Fakecest. The FL experience is that ML is abusive, but everyone is lying to both of them and nothing is as it seems.张翅 with big crybaby eyes again.

Mr can't-take-no-for-an-answer throws money at the problem

Seduce the fiancé's evil uncle. Being the "bad guy" is 沉思's comfort zone

A woman is reborn and decides to tame the "break her legs and chain her to the furniture" ML who imprisoned her because he killed himself at her funeral.

FL sells herself to ML to get experimental medicine for her dying sister but he only gives her a few pills each time, and condems her for being a sex worker.

A "break her legs and chain her to the furniture" type is reborn and needs to hide The Crazy. 梁思伟

FL is wearing her own book and 王译磊 is the unhinged villain

Fall in love with your rapist, who is also your brother (fakecest)

Torture her in the name of protecting her from the person who wants to kill her. Unfortunately there is a redemption arc.

Stepmother fantasy, another 黄靖洲 and 杨弋墨 collab

Seduce the fiancé's evil uncle 甄子琦

陈瑞丰 keeps a sex toy for 3 years, stalks her when she leaves.

A "break her legs and chain her to the furniture" type is reborn and needs to hide The Crazy

李九霖

A puppy bites the hand that fed him

DD/bg

DD/bg, this one is the most crybaby

The first act is true red flag lunatic revenge behavior, the second act is an orphaned puppy, a sweet interlude, and third act is back to red flag lunatic but now he's motivated by love.

DD/bg, this one is the most "break her legs and chain her to the furniture"

The sweetest version of DD/bg, this one is the most bratty and emphasizes the "grooming a minor" element. Makes the whole drama so uncomfortable to watch.

10 out of 10 unrepentant asshole ML. Treats FL like shit because he thinks SFL is FL.
