This might be controversial but…like the vindication I've felt when Mu Qing and Feng Xin spelled it out for Xie Lian that Hua Cheng is creepy as hell in book 6? I was thinking the same since the start and I felt like I was the only one. Unreliable narrator and toxic shipping are fun but genuinely everyone seems to think that HuaLian is like a "goalsss" kind of relationship in the fandom, super cute and romantic but uh? If it wasn't the main ship, everyone would likely hate Hua Cheng for being a creep, let's be real. I felt like I was living in a bizarro world until those two finally spoke about it. Not that I had any doubt he would not turn creepy. I have believed since the start that Hua Cheng picked the colour red so he could use all his red flags as clothes lol He was always so... icky.

#I guess the borderline stalking isn't even the biggest red flag #or the psychotic stuff in the Ten Thousand gods cave which was already pretty bad #I think the worst part is how he really doesn't want Xie Lian to hang out with ANY of his friends #I can kinda get Mu Qing ngl and some of the officials because like self preservation okay #but he almost gripes with other normal ghosts too like Banyue or exiled officials like Pei Xiu #I guess the bottom was reached when he didn't try to force SQXs location out of He Xuan's despite the fact that SQXs was like XL's bestie #the ONLY person he could really rely on when he was in heaven #and I get at the start he didn't want Xie Lian to interfere with Black Water's revenge and didn't want him to hang out with the wind master #That was okay. But after that. You can't tell me that he never tried to hunt down SQX because of any respect for He Xuan or because it was #bothersome #It was clearly because he wanted XL to be alone and with nobody to turn to except for himself like biggest red flag in history #tgcf #heaven official's blessing #hua cheng #xie lian #mu qing my hero #I really can't accept the fact that #after this book. Xie Lian is going to give him any time of day. I'm seriously only reading to learn what happened to SQX #spoilers
