Personally, I don’t consider anything that happens here dubcon, and I think Zhao Yunlan is only physically unwell, not regretting what they did.

Honestly, I think a lot of my DNW reaction was the use of "dejected" (twice!). And since I often don't feel like the feeling-words are 100% right for the situations, I should probably ignore that when I'm reading.

But just once, I would like to see someone enthusiastically bottom…

YES, PLEASE! 100%

Otherwise it shows well the larger-than-life scale on which the ghost kings operate.

Yes, so true! It's super epic. :D

Although he was already perfect in cat shape.

Aww, yes! <333

I still appreciate the realism in Zhao Xinci’s homophobia. He’s coming from a place of wanting his son to succeed in life. It’s painfully real.

Yeah, and he's not interfering as much as he could, either. But still, ugh! (I assume the attitude thing is about ZYL's insufficient filial piety?)

A summary that helped me a bit can be found on the Zhen Hun wiki.

Ah, thanks so much for that!
