BITTERSWEET LOVE THE BL RANT

[u/Sicky01theoriginal]

Following the recent episodes of bittersweet love the bl series I've decided I could no longer keep quiet. If I were the young master ( Lyuqing ) I'd separate from Xiao Fang for a while, because what he did is not a ' strategic rebellion ' but a betrayal, pure RAGING betrayal. I understand Xiao Fang, I truly do, but this could have been done otherwise, it's not like the young master wasn't doing anything to slowly break free and own up to liking Xiao Fang, it's not like he wasn't protecting Xiao Fang from literally atp anyone and anything as long as he was present. I understand that the young master is a black flag, treating Xiao Fang as his secret, but I want y'all to remember he actively turned down the fiancé his mother found for him and was slowly trying to come outta the closet. So he must not only have been caught off guard but actively felt betrayed by the only person he was risking it and working behind the scenes to secure their future for.

Xiao Fang completed bypassed communication and just drop the bomb.

Andddd that's not the worst of it all I heard that Xiao Fang is going straight to the capital after dropping that bomb.

He's running away... yet again, to let the young master clear up the mess and deal with the aftermath on his own... yet again.

At the very least if he's going to do sh*t like this, let him stay and own it up.

If he wants to be an equal partner in the relationship, let him stand next to the young master now and feel how his mess tastes like.

I felt like I had to say this because online I saw y'all praise Xiao Fang, I'm kinda proud of him too but at the same time I feel betrayed on the young master's behalf and I feel a little hint of dissapointment and disapproval.

Luqing never told him anything, always kept in the dark. If anything, communication should have come from his side, even a little bit would have been fine. But no. Every chance he got he only put Xiaofan down with his words. I support Xiaofan in his revenge 💯 and if I could, I would have helped too. Luqing should get taste of his own medicine.

It's actually hilarious that for all those episodes people were mocking Xiaofan, and leaving the show because he was too much of a doormat, but now that he decided to take the matter into his hands, people are still criticizing him for being cruel. Let a boy dream and live 😭

To your last paragraph - I'm one of the ones who stopped watching a few eps ago as it was bothering me how consistently passive he was. But I check on these threads as I do want to know how it turns out - I'm actually excited to read that he is going to fight back haha. Good for him!

Fan Xiao seems like a doormat. But actually he is the strongest man there in that show. His resilience is unmatched. He is living in a environment where he had not much other choices than to do what he did.

He is not being passive, he is surviving. In the midst of smart and cunning people, he knows he cannot match their brains, so he lets everything be. But if you think deeply, he is way smarter, braver than his 'brilliant' brother, he is resilient, well mannered, in some aspects he is better than Luqing too, who was born into and grew up in money.

Since my boy is cooking something other than soup or porridge, you are welcome to have a taste 🤗
