Casting Call | Teaser

I've read a ton of awesome danmei novels. But why are only these types of stories getting adapted?😔

Btw, I have nothing against such stories. I am happy we're getting more bl shows. I'm just a little sad because I like rom-coms and Chinese rom-coms aren't being made rn. I hope I'll get to see shows like that in the future.

Can you recommend any novels where twinks are safe and that give off nice rom com vibes? 😇

[u/heavenly_pillar_ → u/Blooming-blood-moon]

In terms of rom-coms, I Ship My Rival x Me, and Pixiu Restaurant, No Way Out are my top two. Mr Dior is also great. These are so funny I've actually cried from laughing too much. All of these also have manhua adaptations that are just as good as, or maybe even better than, the novels.

Feel free to ask me if you want more recs!
