01 oct - round and round we go

I'll start with my favorite:

• LOVE-RIVALS to LOVERS : One of my favorite tropes that has very few novels written on and even fewer dramas/movies.

I absolutely love it when the MC suddenly gets confused whether he is jealous of the ML or the FL.

I find it very entertaining how they go from "I'll kill you if you talk to her/him" to "I'll kill you if you talk to her/him instead of me."

GOLDEN RETIVER × BLACK CAT : I don't think that any other ship fits this trope better than them . And especially in the drama , they actually had a black cat symbolizing Pei su.

• CHAOTIC AND IMPULSIVE TOP ×CALM AND CALCULATED BOTTOM : I hate it that it is kind of a generalized trope that the top is going to be a mysterious and quite dude and the bottom will be a sunshine who will change his life . I like it that modu doesn't follow it. I remember, before reading modu , someone on the internet had asked 'please tell me if the guy with the glasses is the top" and someone had replied "Yeah, he is".😭 Now I don't understand if that person was being delusional or sarcastic.🥲

• BRATTY BOTTOM × BRAT-TAMER TOP : I would've never known I liked this trope if I was not introduced to Modu/ JITD. And I love that Fei Du/Pei su aren't a 'typical brat', you know( loud, annoying,babyish etc). He's just calm type of brat. You know he is being bratty but he's so quite and calm about it that you can't tell.

AGE GAP : I'll be honest ,not a fan of this trope ,but yeah,with zhoudu/zhaosu , it feels right.

LWZ unknowingly does something that coincides with Pei su's recurrent dream - he covers Pei su's eyes

And then Pei su falls through the abyss into the light. In Pei su's dream, he backs into a "solid but warm body"

Pei su falls into LWZ's embrace

Pei Su is telling Dr. Bai (his therapist) about how he got accepted for an internship (under her husband Pan Yunheng--> author of book she gave him) for a master's program in criminal psychology.

She seems surprised yet pleased.

Then she tells him:

The scene then immediately flashes to the crazy Su girl in the red dress who was a victim of her traumatic upbringing by her mother....

But Pei Su is also a victim of traumatic upbringing by a parent.....

Kidnapper: We have your family member. We want 1 million—

LWZ: Which one?

Kidnnapper: What?

LWZ: You heard me. Which one?

and then it proceeds to go one of a few ways:

Pei Su/Fei Du -

Kidnapper: The weirdly suspicious one with the glasses.

LWZ: Oh. That's my husband. OK. You don't have him, he has you. Tell him to call me when he's done traumatizing you and extracting a confession. Good luck!

Tao Ze/Toa Ran -

Kidnapper: Your vice-captain.

LWZ: Right. So yeah, you don't have him, he has you. I hope you enjoy being mom-ed to death. Call when me when he's talked you into reevaluating all of your life choices, and decide to make a career change. I'll come pick him up.

Lan Qiao/Lang Qiao -

Kidnapper: The girl with the big eyes.

LWZ: Ah. You don't have her, she has you. I hope you have plenty of snacks, she bites when she's hungry.

Xiao Hanyang -

Kidnapper: The tall awkward one with the glasses.
