Mu Sheng - Blog Posts
OMG OMG THANK YOU VERY MUCH YES!
Btw btw, someone needs to write a fic of a SVSSS x LGIEF crossover or a fic of where Miaomiao and Shen Yuan were either siblings or best friends.
Istg I need that kind of fic AHHHHHHGG ^^^^^^^^ đ
Idk why but Shen Yuan (SVSSS) and Ling Miaomiao (LGIEF) both have some similarities to me.
Not only are they both from the modern world but they are transmigrated into famous novels. Not only that but they are in the villain/villainous's body's.
Their love interests are both half demons from a human-demon love story that both parents ended up either dead or imprisoned. (Mu Sheng from his demon mother, and Luo Binghe from his human-cultivator mother. Tianlang-jun, LBH father get imprisoned under a mountain. While Mu Shengs mother is imprisoned in under(?) the Mu Manison). Not to mention the fact that both demonic parents are on an heavenly level/grade.
However there are many differences between the characters but they are also many similarities.
However in SVSSS SY stays in the world of PIDW while Ling Miaomiao returns to the real world.
Lol I love love LOVE this analogue or analization of this :D thank you very much
Just a fun fact, SVSSS was the first BL danmei book I ever read, and LGIEF is the first CDrama I ever watched, not only that but both stories caught my attention and I loved both of them (I'm still not getting over the ending for LGEIF)

H Universe Awards 2024âTaking Over the Resident Grump (See the end)
These arenât just awards; theyâre reminders of how art can save lives, challenge perceptions, and bring beauty into our worlds.
Potential Lifesaver Award
đ Winner: Baby Reindeer (UK)
Care is not an invitation for possession. Self-hatred may get in the way of justice.
Raw. Unflinching. Devastating. Baby Reindeer doesnât hold your handâit grips your soul and refuses to let go. This Netflix original dives headfirst into the messy, painful realities of trauma and abuse. Itâs a tough watch, but it just might change how you see the world.
Most Meaningful Character
đ Winner: Player 120 Cho Hyun-ju â Squid Game Season 2 (South Korea)
People are more than their circumstances.
Feminine yet fierce, tender but tough, Hyun-ju is a wake-up call to stop boxing people into stereotypes.
And her bond with Player 149 Jang Geum-ja? Absolute dynamite. This silver-haired grandma might not get gender identity, but her care for Hyun-ju speaks louder than any words. Together, theyâre proof that humanity is messy, complicated, and full of surprises.
Most Thought-Provoking Series
đ Winner: Hell / Hellbound Season 2 (South Korea)
Human hubris isnât about defying divine forcesâitâs pretending to know what we donât.
If Season 1 got characters questioning their beliefs, Season 2 left them spiraling. This supernatural K-horror goes beyond the shock factor to grapple with big questions about belief, morality, and the consequences of our assumptions.
Best Finale
đ Winner: Eternal Night Star River / Cringey Official English Title (Mainland China)
This finale hit us with the ultimate truth bomb: You can only love others fully when you love yourself first. (But Ziqiâs real problem? Itâs not some conventional âdemonâ identityâitâs believing he is one.) Emotional, uplifting, and just the right amount of bittersweet.
Geekiest Series
đ Winner: Avatar: The Last Airbender (US)
Cultural depth? Check. Epic fight scenes? Double-check.
Avatar draws inspiration from Inuit and various Asian traditions, blending them into an action-packed adventure thatâs as visually stunning as it is culturally rich. For fans of intricate world-building and diverse fighting styles, this series is a must-watch.
Best Aesthetics
đ Winner: Luxuriant Blossoms / Blossoms Shanghai (Mainland China and Hong Kong for cinematography)
Every frame of Blossoms Shanghai looks like it belongs in a film museum.
Wong Kar-waiâs signature style shines through, making this a feast for the eyes. And yes, the âdirectorâs color-graded versionâ fixed those earlier hiccups, giving us the lush visuals we deserved.
Best Music
đ Winner: What Comes After Love (South Korea and Japan for soundtrack)
Each track is like a perfume noteâdelicate, layered, and unforgettable.
The music isn't just background noise; itâs an essential experience, taking you to new places with every note.
Notes and Reflections
Hereâs the thing: thereâs already a ton of online chatter about acting, directing, and writing. Why add to the noise? Awards in these areas just feel unnecessaryâespecially since acting, in particular, is so vulnerable to cultural differences. Whatâs more, assigning a âBest Dramaâ title is always subjective. Why should you impose your idea of what factors to include or exclude and how to weigh all the factors on everyone else?
On a personal level, Tibetan Sea Flower (or Adventure Behind The Bronze Door) is the drama that hit H hardest this year. Its breathtaking visuals, pulse-pounding directing, and sci-fi adventure kept H hooked. But letâs be honestâwhy should that matter to anyone else? Is it as thematically meaningful as some of the other dramas on this list? Probably not. Is its storytelling flawless? Not quite. The show repeats a certain trick, and when some big mysteries are revealed, it opts to tell rather than show.
For H, though, some of these choices make sense. Tibetan Sea Flower is part of the larger Lost Tomb franchise, and its place in this intricate, interconnected universe justifies a lot. Itâs built for those of us who love Easter egg hunts and piecing together the big pictureâsomething H finds thrilling. But is that enough for it to resonate universally? Not necessarily.
H's more level-headed pick for âBest Dramaâ would be any series recognized with the Potential Lifesaver Awardâdramas that go beyond entertainment to deliver messages that genuinely matter. That's even if the drama conferred the honor were an artistic disaster. Is that something you can accept?
Finally, a word of caution: awards are often shaped by sampling errors. The dramas that get shortlistedâor even noticedâare frequently determined by marketing prowess and social media buzz, rather than their intrinsic quality or impact. Keep that in mind when appraising any list like this one.
