the thing that sets apart hua cheng from most other devotee/worshipper-type relationships in other media is that hua cheng would actually throw himself on his knees and crawl across the floor if xie lian wanted to, he would demean himself without shame because shame comes from the perception that you have done something wrong or foolish in another's eyes, and hua cheng would never see his god's will as either, nor care for anyone's else's opinion

#i was so happy when i read tgcf because this is what i mean when i want hopelessly devoted love interests #too many of these (dark) fantasy male love interests dont even treat her with basic respect #like what do you MEAN they drag her around and demean her #theyre often assholes at best and abusers at worst #there is no devotion or worshipping to be found #''he would kill for her'' but would he make peace with his enemies for her?? would he SAVE his enemies for her??#hua cheng would #hua cheng also wouldnt dream of ordering xie lian around #he told xie lian once not to get involved with the wind and water master but when xie lian did that anyone #all he said was ''thats okay baby i told you before: just do what you want to do ill be here for you either way<3''#he only intervenes more forcefully for xie lian's protection and he clearly HATES doing that #sorry for the vent but im tired of seeing the worshipper trope done so badly!!#where are the statues!! the murals!! the devouring need to be with them!! why arent these men on their knees!!!#hua cheng #tgcf #heaven official's blessing #tian guan ci fu #xie lian #hualian
