THIS IS PEAK ROMANCE! They don't need words, their eyes express all the love they feel for each other. It's not merely the words, it's also the way it's shot. So deeply intimate. These close-ups and camera angle are always used in dramas when the OTP is about to kiss.

Their eyes fixed on each other, never breaking the eye contact, never looking away from each other,... combined with the way it's shot and the candlelight, it's all so very suggestive and intimate. Those are LONGING LOOKS!

The close-up at ZYC's hands illuminated by candlelight, gently holding the bottle,...

Just like on a wedding night, there is also a stabbing. ZYC has stabbed ZYZ so many times at this point, he's become an expert, and if my memory serves me right, ZYZ has never allowed anyone else to stab him, so they've been exclusive since day one.

My theory as to how this managed to pass censorship is that they were understaffed and this ended up being reviewed by complete rookies on their first day at the job who have been totally brainwashed by the CCP and have never read or watched any gay romance, therefore they wouldn't recognize it even if it hit them in the face, which, in this case, is exactly what FoF did.

Ding Yuxi and his micro expressions

Lately, Ding Yuxi has trended in weibo for his phenomenal acting in Love Game in Eastern Fantasy and people have started calling it "jinjiang style acting" for being able to portray the description or narration jinjiang (JJWXC) novel authors use. For context, jjwxc is a chinese website for publishing novels.

Someone in weibo has created a compilation of his micro expressions and let me tell you, if you appreciate good acting, watch this.

Link to the original post here.

NOTE: All subtitles were MTL'd! I only added subtitles so that when I rewatch it I don't have to rely on my notes for the translations. It's all really for ease of watching. I apologize if there are mistranslations within the video.

The way ZYZ goes fuck it, I will not let you be frozen for us is !!! And the sheer power he has (and the sheer power opposing him, it's the sole time he hasn't been utterly OP.)

The way ZYC wants him saved but the way for ZYZ rescuing him is n1 priority...

The way it's not about death any more but life - it's not that he wants to die per se, it's that he wants ZYC to live.

AAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAA fellas is it gay to be frozen forever reaching for and touching your mirror anomaly and "I am you" soulmate?

I'm so lovng their vibe in this photoshoot XD And probably in general as well))) 3rd photo - Zhao Lusi looks like a hot angry kitten XD They match really well, ah 😍

The scream I just scrumpt. The gasp I gaspeddd. 🫨🫨🫨<< literally me. I’m sorry Li Lun, you just made their bond stronger than ever.

Guo Jingming really went, "Tian Jiarui is so pretty. I want to step on his face, throw him in a goldfish pond, put him in chains, and pelt him with garbage," and I think that's beautiful.

if a surgeon says you have to fast, you have to fast. end of story.

if a surgeon says your child has to fast, they have to fast. even if they are rreeeaaaallly hungry. even if they beg for food. even if they cry. even if they throw a tantrum. even if they scream for hours.

if a surgeon says you have to fast, you have to fast.

For a bit more context/plainer language from a child life specialist:

the medicine the doctor gives you to make you sleep, called anesthesia, makes you sleep differently than you do at night. Medicine sleep is so deep that the muscle that keeps your stomach closed falls asleep too.

Your stomach and your lungs are connected by your esophagus, which connects to your mouth and brings air to your lungs and food into your stomach.

Because you’ll be laying flat on your back, This means if you have food in your stomach it can come up out of your stomach, and because they’re connected by your esophagus, food or drink that comes out of your stomach can go into your lungs.

Because they aren’t supposed to have stuff other than air in them, having food or drinks in your lungs can make you really sick.

The doctors really don’t want that to happen, which is why they ask you not to eat or drink anything the day you’re having your surgery/whatever you’re getting anesthesia for. It can be really hard but it’s important!

In addition to this: Tian Jiarui helps Lin Ziye with his math homework while using different Chinese dialects.

This time I was too lazy to translate this one but you'll hear the difference in pronunciation immediately. He's just so good at it.

Lin Ziye also said on Weibo that Tian Jiarui was tutoring him in different subjects for school during breaks, and he considered him to be a good teacher.
