So much angst, so much suffering, so many tears. I loved it. 😍


Squee with spoilers here.This whole first talk between Huaien and Xiaobao speaks straight to my id.

Xiaobao: “I’ll kill you.”

Huaien: “Kill me if you want. It’s better for me to be killed by you than to be tortured like that.”

Xiaobao: “Who is torturing whom? Tell me the truth. What do you want from me? As long as you promise not to hurt my parents, I’ll give you anything you want.”

Huaien: “Xiaobao, why can’t you understand? All I want is you.”

Xiaobao: “You want me to die.”

Huaien: “I won’t let you die. Xiaobao, I’m begging you. Please don’t push me. I want to take you to a place where no one is around and lock you up. That way, you’ll never see your parents again. Do you want that?”

And later Huaien says: “Whether you forgive me or not, I won’t let you go. It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s that I can’t.”


Ahhh, here are these delightful shivers down my spine again. When it’s done just right that sort of deep, possessive and obsessive, and dangerous, and toxic love presses all my buttons.

And Xiaobao doesn’t want to love Huaien, wishes he could stop, but he can’t, it’s too deep inside him, and in a way he’s obsessed, too.


Su Yin starts to get more and more morally grey. And I can’t decide if the drama wants me to read him as having romantic feelings for Xiaobao or not. Because it really feels like his hatred for Huaien is something more than just hatred for a guy who hurt your best friend.

Huaien of course thinks that Su Yin wants to seduce Xiaobao, but Huaien is, well, insanely jealous and obsessed and possessive, and not thinking clearly where Xiaobao is concerned. So I’m not taking his read on the situation as being true. 😉


Que Siming is the agent of chaos, and he loves drama, and I love him.

“Jin Xiaobao, your ex-lover is coming.”

Heh, it was said with such a glee and a mischievous light in his eyes. But the way he looks at Jinbao right after is so soft and fond. And it seems that yes, him and Jinbao have a childhood connection. I wish the drama devoted a tiny bit more time to them, but still what we’re getting is cute and lovely. Like for instance the small moment when he shields Jinabao with his sleeve from the smoke during the confrontation between Huaien and Su Yin.

And I love Huaien’s guard twins. They satisfy my loyalty kink big way.


I saw two teasers for episode 11 and I think we’ll be getting a proper reconciliation between Xiaobao and Huaien. And maybe Xiaobao finally getting cured. I hope so. Then episode 12 can be nothing but cuteness, fluffiness and sexiness. 😊

And then I will re-watch it (and more than once, I’m sure) and hopefully finish one of my started MYATB fics. Also hopefully other people will finish their fics, and I will have a lot to read. And it will be one of my Yuletide fandoms, of course. 😊

Such a little shit, a chaos gremlin, smirking asshole.

The Shadows are awesome. Huaien might not want them but they don't particularly care.
