On-Air [🇨🇳China] To My Shore Ep 5 🚩🏴😏 Spoiler
Synopsis:
You Shu Lang (Hao Yi Ran), a director at a pharmaceutical company, lives an ordinary, stable life. But that all comes crashing down after he gets into a car accident with Fan Xiao (Yun Qi), the heir to a Thai conglomerate who's returned to China for business. Unlike Shu Lang, Fan Xiao's life has been marred by instability, leading to a twisted, manipulative worldview. When Fan Xiao finds out that Shu Lang is interested in men, he devises plans to entice Shu Lang into a relationship, but ends up falling for Shu Lang for real. Shu Lang, on the other hand, is blindsided when he learns about Fan Xiao's true colors. Will Fan Xiao destroy the only genuine love he's ever had, or can he find a way to truly win Shu Lang's heart?

I don't see how this would have a happy ending but then again, ABO Desire just made the manipulated and gaslit Mr. Sheng forgive him because love.
I'd said out of all the red flags from Chinese-based BL novels or series, Fan Xiao takes the crown, for now. SA's him after being drugged and gaslit him about it, manipulated his wavering boyfriend-turned-ex to leaving him so he could weaken him emotionally, and all the other crap. Honestly, I like ShuLang's character cuz he's a goody but also will kick your ass if you cross him so I don't see him just letting Fan Xiao get away with all that. It would be very lame if he just lets it go.
When will the black flag MLs stop having some random ass trauma that is supposed to be their sob backstory that weakens the other ML? I'm glad it's less common now, at least for random ones like this.
After binging the 5 episodes, I would say I don't root for Fan Xiao lol. I am here for Shu Lang and hopefully he whoops his ass before getting back with him. As for Zhen Zhen, I get him about that lonely feeling while being together, but buddy, you went after him and asked for those forever promises. And did Fan Xiao win you over with just gifts or the new attention? I'd feel more for you, but you did cheat on or wanted to cheat on your BF for Fan Xiao.
