issenlloI'd Rather Spend My Whole Life Asleep (With You), Luo Binghe/Shen Qingqiu, original Luo Binghe, Scum Villain, WIP, by kuku88
If It's You, Lan/Wangji/Wei Wuxian, MDZS, by etymologyplayground

Also apparently fans of MXTX's Scum Villain, MDZS and Tian Guan Ci Fu are all pre-ordering the English translations like whoa. That's great, while objectively, I'm wondering if the Taiwanese publisher does a version of TGCF that (1) is in traditional Chinese, and (2) where the text runs vertically. I wish I'd done that for the Scum Villain novel, because I'm enjoying it and I'd really enjoy it more if it were in a format that I like best.
Other stuff: I guess I would not like to be in the shoes of SHL's cast and production team now? Imagine working so hard and becoming incredibly relieved and proud that SHL became a success and you're getting known for it and you can put it on your resume, and THEN.
Look, Zhang Zhehan posted the photos himself in the first place; no one dug up some long-deleted post or photoshopped him, etc. I'm petty enough to say he brought it on himself. Tho I do feel feel a tiny bit sorry for him - he probably didn't expect the reaction to be this drastic and I suspect IF he is ever able to make a comeback it'd be at least a couple of years and that's a couple of years gone in the valuable time of a up-and-coming actor, in a world where many young and pretty wannabe actors debut every year. So that's... he's gonna have to deal.
The reaction of international fans has been by turns fascinating and annoying. Insensitive to those (of us) who have been affected by the Imperial Japanese Army's invasion/occupation in these parts of the world, either in family or country history or (most likely) both. I get all tied up about it and then have to process my own feelings. I've long separated "evil imperial Japan" from the "Japan land of anime/Yuzuru Hanyu/Pokemon" and I'd like to continue appreciating the latter, thanks.
