You're mine. Ep. 11 | REVENGED LOVE (2025)

[kermitthequeer]

Additional thoughts on context around Revenged Love, because if I have to think about this stuff you have to suffer with me.

The external shots and real sets on the show are filmed in the Southeastern city of Wuxi, which is super close to the tech hub of Hangzhou and the mega city of Shanghai. It gets hot as fuck and it monsoons for weeks in the summer. I know this because some of my most annoying relatives lived there and given the choice of hanging out with them or walking around Taihu in the pouring rain I chose Taihu. I also cannot explain why it is the funniest fucking city in China to potentially set this show, because it doesn’t make any sense why it’s funny other than my great aunt lived there and I chose death by drowning over spending any more time with her. Like Chengdu exists, guys.

(Chengdu is the gayest, most live and let live place in China.)

The geography is relevant mainly because if our boys are locals it has implications for how they perform in relationships! Traditionally southern Chinese men are seen as more desirable partners because they’re considered less subject to regionalized patriarchal bullshit. Up until pretty recently it was still de rigor to make fun of Shanghai husbands for being the default cooks in the family and holding their girlfriend’s purses when they’re out shopping. The wealth/gender dynamics in more prosperous southern Chinese cities also means that men are more expected to be able to do housework at least in equal parts. Shanghai girls can buy their own cars and houses and also we are notoriously mean. You have to bring some skill to this romantic transaction. So Guo Chengyu being able to cook and clean and housewife it up and Chi Cheng seeming to be able to whip up breakfast isn’t actually all that unusual. For example, my dad won’t let me or my mom cook. This is not because we are bad cooks. In fact, I am a great cook. I just get kicked out of my own kitchen whenever he’s around. He also doesn’t think we can be trusted to grocery shop.

Chinese men flirt by being annoying. That is their entire game. They also appear to like being smacked for being 贱, which a dictionary is going to tell you means cheap but in use is usually doubled as “jianjiande,” which implies a perverse annoying sleaziness where the person is clearly looking to get slapped. The problem is he will enjoy it. Please refer back to the biting commentary and despair.

Driving is common slang for fucking. Specifically if people are said to “上车,” or get in the car, or go driving—they fuckin. A lot of netizens talking about about the episode 12 scene where Wu Suowei and Chi Cheng get caught despoiling the clinic refer to Chi Cheng as uh. Captaining the car. With the related verb.

Slang for being less horny is to “take Chinese herbal medicine.” There is literally no one taking any Chinese herbal medicine right now on the Chinese internet, despite people watching the behind the scenes for the episodes and pleading with Chi Cheng to try some.

If you are curious as to why specifically this show has been so chemically designed to make so many of us feral and gormless, I think I have the answer. The original writer of the book it’s based on was on set as some kind of producer for the entire filming and her job was basically “shipping director,” where she got to tell the actors what to do and how to do it like playing with handsome paper dolls until it made her shriek. (Here’s the link to the video on Billibili if you can understand Chinese!) So like—literally the yaoi was in the room with them. One of us was there. That is why we are all so insane.

Dr. Jim, who is a real doctor, also helped me a lot. When he wasn’t filming his scenes, he would sit in front of the monitor as a co-producer, correcting our use of medical terms and making sure our actions, whether treatments, CPR, or anything doctor-related, were accurate.

[kermitthequeer]

Just finished watching ep 11/12 of Revenged Love and I am once again filled with absolute suffering and culturally relevant details I am cursed to know.

I assume most people picked up on this but the reference to “getting a certificate” is a direct translation and means getting a marriage license. It’s got a little more weight than as just a romantic slang, since gay marriage isn’t legal in China, but China is a society that is heavily incumbent of licenses and registrations and everything has some kind of big red stamp on it. There’s an extra frisson there that made me want to kick my feet in delight.

The morning after breakfast. Jesus Christ. Where to begin. The contents of it are obviously over the top, but they’re also all “healing” and “supplemental,” the kind of spread you set up for a woman in her sitting month (30 days post labor where you aren’t allowed to do any work, lift anything heavy, and just recover) after having a child. Like literally there’s a Chinese internet comment being like fucking Wu Suowei’s milk is going to come in after that breakfast. ALSO Chi Cheng eating okra for breakfast is just so fucking inappropriate given that it’s a “male vitality” supplement and I think we can see from Suowei’s fragile post fuck state that if you supplement the performance any further he’ll die.

Guo Chengyu saying his parents wanted a daughter ABSOLUTELY has to imply his parents would have set up a childhood engagement between him and Chi Cheng, right?? RIGHT???

It’s obvious in action that Chi Cheng is very respectful toward Suowei’s mother, but his language is also pitch perfect. He uses the respectful version of “you” throughout, which is generally saved for extremely formal occasions, professional higher ups, and sucking up to your mother in law, I guess.

Angsty Dialogue Prompts

✭ I wanted you to fight for me. You didn’t.

✭ We don’t talk anymore, but I still think about what I’d say if we did.

✭ I’m tired of being the one who always cares more.

✭ I wish I could forget you like you forgot me.

✭ You left like it was easy. It shouldn’t have been easy.

✭ I’m not mad. I’m just disappointed in every possible version of us.

✭ You said forever and I believed you.

✭ Sometimes I think I’m still waiting for you to come back.

✭ I keep rewriting the ending in my head. None of them hurt less.

✭ You were home. And now I’m homeless.

✭ I loved you like you were oxygen. You treated me like I was smoke.

✭ I should’ve walked away first. But I wanted to believe in us too much.

✭ I’d still pick you, even knowing how it ends.

✭ You didn’t break my heart. You left it in your hands and forgot it was there.

✭ I gave you everything. You gave me almost.

✭ It wasn’t the leaving that hurt. It was how easily you did it.

✭ I keep finding your name in places I swear I erased it from.

✭ You loved me just enough to make me stay. But never enough to make it feel safe.

✭ I was a chapter. You were the whole damn book.
