oh no I love Lakan

bold move introducing a dude and being like "this is Creeper, he is unsettlingly interested in Maomao and she hates his guts and also he's probably definitely a rapist"

And then you find out actually no, he's the saddest wettest most autistic man alive and he's never done a single thing wrong in his life except fall in love with a bit of a psycho

Love how him and Jinshi both think the other one is a creep who needs to gtf away from Maomao but now they're both freaking out because she's missing and I need this teamup to happen YESTERDAY

Faildad and loserboyfriend to the rescue ❤️

What I call irony is that Maomao at first thought that being lowkey and appearing inattentive would grant her a peaceful life. Little did she know that this was the reason why she was noticed by Jinshi.

He was used to being the center of attention, and wherever he went, people would turn their heads toward him. However, there was only one person who was completely lost in her monologue, unaware of his presence, and it was that freckled girl.

He couldn't resist not knowing what this was all about afterward. It turned out that she literally doesn't buy his "sparkly" persona, nor she tolerate engaging with his "sweet-as-honey" fake behavior that most people swoon over. On the contrary, she responds slightly better to him when he literally drops the act and behaves like his real childish self.

I don't think it's only a matter of him liking that she's not impressed by him, I think he feels safe enough that she doesn't have any ulterior motives toward him which as we have seen, many have tried to whether by lacing food with aphrodisiacs or inserting love charms in his closet.

She's not after his beauty, status, or money. If she ever returned his affection, it would be for his true essence. He doesn't have to "sell out" his charm to get what he wants, nor does he need to act older than his actual age with her. Isn't that.... freedom? No wonder he's in love with her. He just needs to work extra hard to get her affection.

immortality as theft (you have to steal life from something else) immortality as parasitism (there is something else inside You that is keeping you alive and you become less of yourself more and more the longer it stays in you) immortality as violence (everything is trying to kill you because everything is supposed to die and the universe will always try to find a way to right the wrong that is You) you understand

my favourite part of the apothecary diaries is jinshi freaking out over maomao's impulsive freaky tendencies (but he's lowkey into that)

jinmao in a nutshell:

Accommodating king for real

i looove the apothecary diaries bc jinshi appears to be aware that he’s a light novel male lead so this boy is making a conscious effort to sparkle as hard as he can at maomao at every given opportunity. unfortunately for him maomao has autism and thinks he’s a loser
