I second Blood of Youth. Also if you don't mind BL adaptations, Guardian and Word of Honor. But fair warning:…
I am not angry (though please don't turn this into an straw man tactic, I hope we're all adults here). I've met and talked with many persons who seem to think there is only one right way to live. My problem is not with their opinions, everybody is free to form any opinion they want, obviously. More POVs and more open discussions lead to better lives for everybody.
My problem is with being so carelessly and ignorantly offensive just because people assume everyone will think the same as they do. Which doesn't happen. Please do not label something you do not approve of, for your own reasons (which don't actually interest me, I can imagine many reasons that would lead to such ignorance and thoughtless attitude toward way too many people) with a pejorative. It's not "dirty" because you don't like it. It just is on itself, and it's not unnatural, despite your feelings. You don't have to participate, you don't have to approve, you don't have to take any action - at least don't insult something you don't really know much about.
So what I'm saying, in short, (because things may be lost in translation), don't label swathes of people you think less of because they're not of the majority orientation. You might hurt someone close to you who will never be their true self to you because of your attitude and words.
As for myself, I don't really care for some random person on the internet, LOL. I just hope discrimination isn't just allowed quietly, even here on MDL.

As long as nobody goes around judging based on prejudice and throwing pejorative labels at them, yes, everybody can live however they want. You could apply the "live and let live" saying for everyone, not just your preferred part of mankind. It's not hard to be kind, and words do have power. Be careful with them, if you will.
The Prime-Minister, too. He was the one who hurt the mountain god, his friend, because he wanted more knowledge...…
Yes, the term was fixed by CWC. But the original order came from the Prime Minister (well, officially the Emperor) - and there's the inherent danger when they can't solve the case. The PM didn't care about what happened if they failed - AND didn't care what happened to the demon himself, obviously.
He was just doing a math game - throw a few people at the problem, see if they can solve it, if not, oh well, we'll throw somebody else at the problem. But in the meantime, the original DHB would definitely have faced consequences for not fulfilling the Imperial Order.
I've always seen him as cruel/cold and definitely NOT their friend. Even more so when the Imperial Order could be so easily altered by precisely DHB's competitors, who have a vested interest in bringing them down.
When they revealed that the scholar who attacked Zhu Yin was the one who eventually became the Prime Minister, it wasn't even that surprising, considering.

...Erm. Did you forget who gave the order for the DHB to get Ran Yi and do it in under 5 days, wait, make that ONE day, or be forced to commit suicide? Yes the ChongWu Camp altered the order... but the order did come directly from the Emperor, under the PM's guidance. He wasn't any innocent no matter how you look at it, LOL.

Well, if you don't like same-sex relationships, keep in mind nobody's forcing you to be in one.
As for The Untamed, though heavily censored, it is based on a very much danmei (BL) Chinese novel, so there's that. Obviously you can like whatever you like, but I think you're taking it too far calling BL "dirty". Don't like BL, don't watch/read it. Same-sex relationships have survived from the beginning of the species, I think they'll survive today's haters too.
The Prime-Minister, too. He was the one who hurt the mountain god, his friend, because he wanted more knowledge...…
For exactly the same reason - he thought he knew better. He was certain he had everything under control, playing the world of human knowledge against the broken world of demons and WIN. Because all his knowledge comes from books and is dry, with not much outside or practical input...
It's obvious he doesn't give in much to emotions, or he wouldn't have done that to his friend... But in the end, he failed to take into account the actual violence of the real (drama) world, so he got in over his head and was removed.
I'll bet he never ever considered anyone would go against HIM - he probably thought he was the outside observer who would be left out by the people involved in the fight between men and demons all the time, since HE didn't see himself as involved, LOL.
WZX explained it though. He sealed ZY's five senses so now his golden core doesn't fit inside his physical body…
I think of the dark energy as an elemental. Nobody controls an elemental. Zhu Yan said it was continuously collecting from all the evil that mankind does (and I think demons, too) and he's just the vessel for it to gather in. The fact it WILL get out of control is evidenced by how Lord Ying Long also had to be killed by Lord BingYi back in the day, despite them being friends (or so it seems, from what we've been shown of the past).
So his options are to wait until he can't be controlled anymore by anything and then cause havoc, or force his own death but maybe manage not to be reborn so that he doesn't have to go through any more painful cycles. This time he chose death - but maybe now he regrets it a bit.
I hope there'll be another way... but I don't think there'll be a HEA for Zhu Yan in this life.
The part about being a vessel for everything evil is so like what happens to Tantai Jin in Till the End of the World, seriously these two should be twins :D
Someone asked this question please help I cant put my answers well 🤧🤧this is going to sound kinda dumb but…
WZX explained it though. He sealed ZY's five senses so now his golden core doesn't fit inside his physical body anymore, LOL. therefore he expected ZY to just eject the core (and presumably die). But since our favourite lord demon is more than meets the eye, the dark energy that was being supressed inside him by Lord Ying's godly energy did NOT take well to being over-restricted and probably broke through everything, including the seals, to get out.
Maybe the ever-burning wood had something to do with it too. The result is though that now ZY is again uncontrollable unless he goes away for a while, and even so he doesn't have much time left.
Li Lun was also under a seal - Baize Goddess' seal - and that helped him survive with the ever-burning wood for so long. But he did. not. like. it. (manifestly). I guess it wouldn't be something a demon could easily tolerate.

The masked guy is Bai Jiu's ex master, the doctor. Wen XongZu I think is his name. He is still alive and kicking, sadly.
Li Lun's news of demise might've been greatly exaggerated, too, LOL.

I'm going to say it again... Live and let live.

As I've said... good riddance!
I don't think he ever regretted or thought he had done wrong.
Just read the lyrics to see why they're using it right then in the story...

...Now imagine he saw evil demon ZY LOL.
And can we admit it - evil demon ZY looks pretty cool, too. I mean, he does have some clothes on at least. That should count for something.
Drama, when I said I wanted to see Ying Lei giggle some more, you shouldn't have taken me so seriously, LOL.
Zhu Yan and Tantai Jin should start the club of lonely demons who just want to live a peaceful live. And then invite Li Lun too.
