When they are born to play their characters

[ilovealonelystar]

Ahh... It's been one year already since I was able to experience something very exciting in this fandom: the release of YiZhan's Dragon Boat date video.

To celebrate this landmark, I will compile here some of the many things that happened on that day (June 18th) during the shooting.

Brace yourselves, and here we go!

Bonus: the next day, the BTS is filled with GG being hyper and happy. 😏

Whereas WYB has the whole same-clothing-at-the-airport-as-the-day-before saga, and his unusual happiness during the Happy Camp recording.

Bonus 2?: Okay. *Breathe in. Breathe out.* Only now I noticed that WYB was wearing dangling earrings (on both sides!) on the date. 😩 I love him with earrings!!!!! The boy really went all out to be beautiful to his GG. 😌

Bonus 3: After Dragon Boat, DD stays away from shooting CQL for a week, until June 25th unless you think they secretly met on June 22nd (and GG's mood visibly sours on the BTS as the days go by), and when they reunite, this is the first scene of the BTS. 🥹

This is...no longer candy. This is just...We share the same studio down the road, statement.

Have you two forgotten we all have eyes 👁️_👁️

It's just a coincidence 🤷🏼‍♂️.

it's so ironic that xz and wyb had to go through the real-time wangxian experience ever since the filming of cql started and whatever happened afterwards

they met on The Untamed set as two very different people—one warm and open, the other quiet and cool—but formed a bond that felt genuine and deep.

their chemistry lit up the screen and also continued off-screen through behind-the-scenes moments and mutual teasing.

you could see that wyb was much more open and friendlier with xz despite being well-known for his reserved nature.

just when things seemed to be going good, everything went downhill after the 227 incident.

like wwx, xz was accused of baseless things even without any fault of his own. he lost brand endorsements and had a huge career setback.

meanwhile wyb also became the center of attention. both of them had to stay apart, at least publicly.

within a few years, xz came back stronger, like wwx's resurrection—critically acclaimed roles, concerts, and growth as an artist.

and now, all we can hope to see is a reunion. hopefully it won't take 16 years (although 6 years have already passed)..

This is probably one of the many clips that explains why they can't be seen together. I am a firm believer that no one banned them from appearing together in public. Look at dd being so unhinged! The subtitles are correct and verified by a Chinese speaker. Plus , the conversation swiftly switched to making juice from the flowers? Obviously to cover up the awkwardness.

Love this one 💚❤️💛

A new Turtle is born.

Shy, curious, with high peaks of hyperfocus, I am a new Turtle born in October 2025. I am also Brazilian, and still improving my English, so please excuse me if my text seems harsh. But I need to share my thoughts, and this seems like a good place for that, even though I've never used this platform before.

But to the point, how I became a fan of Yizhan.

I already knew Yibo before. I've watched his dramas, variety shows (SDC is my favorite), and even looked for his CP before (with CX, because she was the only girl he seemed to talk to). In short, I must have known Yibo for about five years, but I never delved into getting to know him better.

I only vaguely knew Xiao Zhan from a few dramas (Douluo Continent to be exact, which I watched twice), and that's it. I never knew he was an Idol.

About The Untamed, I also knew about that. And I loved the drama, even though I never watched the last episodes out of pity for my heart (I cry very easily, and I don't want to see the end of TU).

Did I know about Yizhan before? Vaguely. There are many edits, it's impossible not to see one thing or another, even more so having TU in your history. However, I never researched it, although I knew that Yibo and Zhan were estranged due to the fandoms. I also saw edits of the behind-the-scenes of TU, ​​but I didn't know how real they were, nor if they were just an obsession of TU fans.

Until October 18, 2025, I rewatched TU. YouTube showered me with Yizhan edits. I watched edits for two days straight, until I found the script reading footage. I discovered that there were hours of unedited BTS videos, where I could see for myself if they were real or not.

I started watching BTS, and while reading comments I discovered about the 2017 DDU. And about the song Nan Hai. And Yibo's posts as an indirect response to Zhan… I was sucked in.

I went to Bilibili, where there's much more content organized chronologically (my obsession), and since then I've been watching (and rewatching) the entire history since Yibo's debut. Seeing them younger helped me a lot to understand more about them, their personalities, their ways of speaking (even though I don't speak Chinese… yet), and mannerisms.

From everything I've seen since October, I have no doubt that Yizhan is real. And not just a strong friendship. They are a couple. They love each other so deeply that I myself fell in love with both of them and their love. Having become my hyperfocus, I think about Yizhan every day, and I would be happy to have someone to talk to about it (my mother can't stand hearing about Yizhan anymore). That's why I decided to post here. Being surrounded by other Turtles brings great relief, a warmth. There are so many haters out there, and seeing their comments really hurts.

If any of the old Turtles have any tips on how to survive this hate, I'd be happy to read them.

Even without doubting Yizhan, the frustration is immense. Waiting for 2026 with no certainty of anything but hope is also heartbreaking. And while I want Yizhan to just shout to the world about their love, I know that may never happen because it's too dangerous for them. Really dangerous. There are so many crazy haters that I worry about their safety…

So many hopes, so many fears… Being a baby Turtle takes me on a rollercoaster ride all day long. One moment I'm smiling, then I'm on the verge of tears… Tell me if there's any support group, I feel like I need to apply.

Inhales, exhales

Now I'm going back to Yizhan. Again. See you later.
