You know how because of the colorist aspect of idol culture, Chinese celebrities in period dramas are almost translucent and white?

Yeah, when I was a kid in China, tons of people were straight-up brown. An emperor or prince or some Lan Wangji junzi archetype is one thing, but a jianghu-wandering xia is not gonna look like that, Bai Fengxi.

#a lot of the time it was either because they were naturally dark-skinned or just tanned from the sun or both #think of exo kai's skin tone as the median of that range #again do what you want appreciate what you like #but just be mindful #lwj #mdzs #cql #chen qing ling #bai fengxi #lan wangji #qie shi tian xia #who rules the world #tears falling like peridots #colorism #cdrama #yes i know her name is literally BAI fengxi that's not the point i'm making
