If, by the end of this book, Mo Xi doesn't:

1. Get slapped on the face at least once and

2. Learn what the word "slave" actually means and realize how fucking privileged he is to even think that Gu Mang had good choices and recognize the risks Gu Mang took ever being with him

I will be extremely disappointed in this book. Mo Xi, you have the emotional intelligence of a shrub, dear fucking god. "I know Gu Mang processes and copes by acting flippant" plus "he said he loved me but then he acted flippant" somehow equals "obvs he wasn't taking any of this seriously nor did he care about me" Mo Xi you are too dumb to live only someone this stupid could look at that 2 + 2 equation and find a result of the square root of -1.

Love how Meatbun establishes that Mo Xi's pov can't be trusted.

Mo Xi throughout his whole reunion Gu Mang in the present: why is he so calm? Why is he just accepting this? He was never like this before. He does what he wants! He must want this! But this is so different from how he used to act when he was never ever this docile or detached.

Flashback to the slave collar thing: *gu mang acts exactly as docile and detached*

Good job, Mo Xi. Nice to know you only see what you want to see and interpret it how you want to...

I've just started the Rosmei translation of How to Survive as a Villain and, uh.

This book is fucking hilarious.

Fang Duobing: as expected, Li Lianhua, you earned your reputation through hanky-panky.

Well, YT iQiyi translator, that sure was A Choice.

Look I hardly know these characters but Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing's first meeting is clearly clown on clown violence.

People who know more about Chinese culture and history than I do! Can anyone who knows TGCF give me an idea why Lang Qianqiu is dressed this way?

I am very curious.

This is a good reminder (mostly to myself) that Xie Lian is never in the position of giving everything he'd worked for just because he has sex with Hua Cheng. The plunge in his powers is because he risk losing followers, not because of the sex itself. And in the present... what followers? He has like 4 and they don't care. The powers lost as a result of the sex could be recovered with further cultivation. I'd forgotten this from my first reading, and has always thought Xie Lian would lose his cultivation path if he lost his virginity - which I then ignored because I didn't like it - so this is better tbh. I can keep ignoring it because it's actually canon. Xie Lian doesn't have to give up anything at all, and he can fuck that pretty ghost king twink.

Keep winning, king.

What can I even say about these tits???
