Such a good post! (and sorry, tam, there's gonna be a few spoilers for u in this comment)
I was actually amazed at how many of the classic super intense Chinese romance tropes this show employed that somehow slipped the censors. Like I'm talking about...waiting for multiple lifetimes, one part of the couple going blind and the other half having to look after them, the kneeling in the rain for person x, and the SHARING OF LIFE FORCES.
If this was a guy and a girl, even if they didn't have any lovey dovey scenes through the drama the audience would know that these two characters were in a relationship.
ESPECIALLY the sharing of life forces which is the wuxia version of marriage pretty much - like their LIVES ARE BOUND FOREVER NOW.
