AH :
The novel is helping fill the gap, and it even has XL using taxing healing power in a way that warms XY. So, ironically, it fits this thread better than the drama ^^
Ohh yess, I plan to continue reading the novel after the drama finishes (I stopped reading at chapter 11 way before the drama aired, I may have forgotten to continue it). It’s also so fun and interesting reading fans’ analysis of Xiang Liu and other characters on Twitter/X, there’s a yaoliu fan who made an account specifically to talk about the novel and the drama while it’s airing! It helps getting a deeper insight into the characters.
