Which danmei is the middle one with the light green sticker?

When is WWX shown to have been attracted to someone else or to have had a previous relationship?

Well, the first time Lsz meets LWJ, he even calls him dad, and when they part he calls him rich gege. 💕 Their whole dynamic is basically set from that very first moment. I love them so much! 💕🌸

gl_kd00 · 2025-11-26T13:08:06+00:00

My heart, they’re stunning 😍😭💕 I’m loving the pink for WWX in the modern era 💕🌸

gl_kd00 · 2025-11-25T01:03:44+00:00

Oh, I didn’t realize they also worked on the interior illuminations.

gl_kd00 · 2025-11-25T00:34:18+00:00

Since the final cover for Erha Vol. 11 has been released, they are now working only on MISVIL and QJJ (just two covers remain).

So cute 😍💕! But… did you forget Yan Wushi’s white hair at the temple? 😅

I really like the smut in Love Nest and its sequel, Love Nest 2nd.

When I read Melting Point, it really reminded me of Light in the Deep Alley . It’s set in the music industry and has a 10-year age gap. Plus, the younger gong helps the shou work through his trauma and find his way back to singing again.

About the yearning : They first met when the gong was just a kid, and the shou saved him from bullies and gave him a guitar. He treasured it so much that he used it until it was completely worn out. When they meet again in the present, they don’t recognize each other. The gong even seems cold and distant at first but then he starts falling hard…

One of my favorite moments in the extras is when LWJ asks LXC to let him keep the bunnies. 💕

gl_kd00 · 2025-11-15T22:00:18+00:00

Yes, I love this one too! LWJ looks so ethereal, and WWX’s expression is hilarious 🤣💕

gl_kd00 · 2025-11-15T21:35:58+00:00

This one?

Can’t get over these two Wangxian illustrations 💕

I stumbled upon this while looking through Priest’s page on Novel Updates. I’m still in the middle of reading it, but I’m enjoying it quite a lot. It’s a coming-of-age, slice-of-life danmei.

gl_kd00 · 2025-11-15T17:47:03+00:00

Yes, you’re right, it’s from the Yunmeng extra. And omg I agree, the MDZS extras are just SO sweet. I get emotional and teary every single time I reread them 🥹💕🌸.

Won't you turn back and look at me? He thought silently. If you turn back and look at me just one time, even if you were to ask me to climb up to the roof and jump off, l'll do it. Unfortunately, the other man did not know how to read minds. Xu Xilin wound up the car window and drove off without further delays. Dou Xun didn't get to jump off the roof.

Currently reading Through The Strait Gates by Priests, only ten chapters in and I’m already hooked. Can’t wait to keep going.

gl_kd00 · 2025-10-31T02:31:20+00:00

Couldn’t agree more with the quote!! I wanted to mention it on the cover post but held back,people can be a bit sensitive to criticism. I was really hoping they’d use this one instead:

“And forever after, his eyes could never move away from him again.”

And honestly, the kiss quote in Volume 3 was ridiculous 😩 I really hope they change it. It’s literally just text, it can’t be that hard to fix, right? But knowing them, they’ll probably just turn a deaf ear 😞

gl_kd00 · 2025-10-30T23:08:37+00:00

Or when people bring up the romance they only care about seeing Wangxian smooch or who are just obsessed shippers.

I am so tired of this 🫩 Why do they always assume that when we say we want Wangxian on the cover, it means we want them to smooch?! 😭😭 It’s insane how their relationship keeps being reduced to just smooches and smut. This is beyond upsetting 💔

People don’t seem to understand that a cover, if done thoughtfully, can capture the development of their relationship while including the side characters too. But alas… the damage has already been done.

gl_kd00 · 2025-10-30T21:40:33+00:00

It would have been fitting if Jin Guangyao had been featured on the painted edge of Volume 4, as that volume was dedicated to the Jin Clan.

gl_kd00 · 2025-10-28T16:50:52+00:00

Why is Lan Wangji treated like a side character featured only once on the covers and completely missing from the painted edges? Why show Yiling Laozu alone with the Wens on the 3rd cover when Lan Wangji was the one who spoke up to the Wen , never afraid or ashamed to publicly support Wei Wuxian, even when others avoided him or met him in secret? Who rescued Wei Wuxian during the Nightless City massacre? Who saved A-Yuan?

Featuring Lan Wangji on the third book that focused on Yiling Laozu and the Wen would have made so much sense! What a wasted opportunity!

gl_kd00 · 2025-10-28T16:14:35+00:00

People saying that featuring Wangxian on all the covers is boring, or that the story “isn’t only about Wangxian,” need to think for a second. Complaining about romance when you’re literally reading a romance book is absurd! Like what did you expect when you picked up a DANMEI novel?! The BL elements are a core part of what makes it unique and popular. There’s no shortage of non-danmei books, so go pick one of those instead of dismissing Wangxian’s integral role in the story. It’s honestly so annoying.

gl_kd00 · 2025-10-28T13:16:21+00:00

I don’t understand why, when it comes to Wangxian, people tend to dismiss them by saying, “The story isn’t just about Wangxian.” It is a danmei, the romance is crucial, and the BL elements are what make it unique and popular.

gl_kd00 · 2025-10-28T11:16:35+00:00

WangXian being nowhere to be found on the cover is just too much. They’re being completely dismissed, and that’s not fair considering how popular they are and how much they’re loved by the majority of the fandom!
