You might come across behind-the-scenes clips or livestream cuts, but actual scenes from the drama? Impossible to post. Upload one, it gets taken down immediately—the fans are completely burnt out from fighting this battle. I know this bitter struggle all too well.

Mainland BL dramas get heavily shadowbanned—unless you're already a fan, you basically can't come across them at all. Trending hashtags get removed, and fans are occasionally left completely homeless. There's a really bizarre double standard: this only applies to mainland productions. Thai, Korean, and Japanese BLs sail through completely unchecked—I can see them on my feed anytime. That's exactly why Thai and Korean BLs are so massively popular in mainland China, while locally produced BL dramimportantly drop without a sound.

You will love it，her is even more stunning in this drama.

All BL dramas funded by mainland investors will basically have to rely on livestreaming to blow up from now on. Because no matter the platform—Weibo, Douyin, Xiaohongshu—you simply can't find clips or fan edits of these shows. Even the very few lucky enough to slip through the review process get forcibly taken down within a very short time. This makes it impossible for these dramas to spread their hype; the restrictions are airtight. Livestreaming is the only way to build momentum. Deep In back in the day was pretty much the same situation—it was only through the two leads' frequent livestreams that the heat was eventually driven up.

After airing two episodes, the drama completely failed to make a splash—barely anyone even knew it had premiered. But later, thanks to the cast's livestreams—which were just too hilarious and full of great moments—combined with their interactions with fans, it slowly started gaining traction. The livestreams drew more viewers to actually go watch the show, and now it's picking up some buzz. When they first started streaming, there were only about 3,000 viewers; lately it's gone past 10,000. That said, because our local streaming platform has strict moderation, if two people get too close to each other or have overly physical contact, the stream often gets forcibly cut off after a while and the account receives a warning. But those are just minor issues.

Yes, they are all great👍

Yes, it is

"Lost You Forever" has a similar vibe — both are quite romantic.

He was betting that the Emperor would shield him. The Emperor had already tasked him with investigating the case—and in truth, the Emperor had long known who the culprits were. He was only held back by the lack of a confession and the absence of the Ministry of Justice's formal procedures. So when he presented the list to the Emperor, it was deliberately left blank—the Emperor himself would fill in the names.

To protect his friend's location, the novel describes Bei Lüqing tracking him down. In the story, Bei Lüqing tortured him for a while, using both threats and promises, but he refused to reveal Fanfan's whereabouts—until Fanfan called him directly.

I honestly feel bad for him—this is clearly his insecurity showing. He used to be SO confident, super emotionally intelligent, with a really grounded core. But the past two years? Brutal. Too many people online saying he's just average-looking, even below average for a celeb. All that noise really got to him. Now he's insecure, and he's even developed this thing about being in front of a camera. It's honestly sad to watch 😞

Because it's 36 episodes long — if they just gave you nonstop happiness, sweetness, peace, and glory for 20 episodes straight, no one would keep watching. They have to keep dangling tension and suspense to hook the audience. This is actually a classic Chinese fiction formula — it's called zhai dou (literally 'inner-house strife').

One of my favorite romantic scenes  In episode 12.

Lady Yu showed a hint of favor to that maidservant, leading the girl to believe that Lady Yu would promote her to be a tongfang (a bedmaid)—a position slightly lower than a concubine, though one that could potentially be elevated to mistress. The purse had actually been embroidered by the maidservant, but Yake had claimed the credit all along, saying she had personally embroidered it for her husband. So when presenting the purse, she said it was done in white silk thread, but the purse inside the box was a different color entirely. The maidservant, thinking herself clever, believed that letting the master know she was the true embroiderer would change something—but that was pure wishful thinking. The master, however, knew his mother all too well. He understood that with just a few subtle maneuvers, she could drive a deep wedge between mistress and servant. He urged his mother not to resort to such tactics, defending Yake all the while. In truth, Yake was the most foolish one in this entire household.

Very good

When their kiss finally airs, I wager all this bickering over who stands at the center will dissolve—poof—like summer bubbles under the sun, or winter snowflakes meeting skin. We’ll all simply melt, every last one of us, into stardust and silence.

"With feminism on the rise and the majority of this show's audience being women, any increase in the male lead's screen time triggers backlash. Viewers accuse the plot of sidelining everyone else—from supporting characters to the female lead herself—just to buff his image. Consequently, the writers get dragged through the mud."

"What was the previous drama that made you this thrilled? Care to talk about it?"

"The 'Memorial Arch for Chastity' (Zhenjie Paifang) was a ubiquitous institution in ancient society, not a fictional trope. Typically bestowed by the Empress Dowager or the Empress upon ladies of exemplary virtue and high moral standing. Tragically, even in the 19th century， a woman's reputation remained precarious; if her chastity was compromised, families would often sever ties swiftly to protect their own honor. The most common form of execution was 'ducking in a pig cage'—binding the woman inside a bamboo cage and drowning her in a river. It was a standard practice of familial retribution."
