They definitely do have an interesting relationship, what with them being nearly total opposites. I wouldn't even call the relationship in Peerless romantic so far but I'm on board for it to go there!

I agree sm on what you said about mo ran´s plan of showing sqt´s true colors !! I love mo ran so much he´s my babygirl but I also really like sqt and she didn´t deserve that, I understand he did that to protect ye wangxi since even in the 1st timeline they mention something about sqt betraying her, but he really didn´t need to do all that lol. On the same topic I´ve also seen people side with rong jiu because if you think about it, he´s a sex worker who got all his savings stolen by a young master of a powerful sect and got no justice (since he never saw cwn beating mo ran and didn´t get his money back) but for some reason I don´t really like his character despite being really similar to sqt, I guess he just never grew on me. But yeah the characters having flaws and being imperfect is part of why I love that novel so much, I never run out of things to say about it <3

I can talk endlessly about 2ha 😂but I do agree with you. Rong Jiu is the other example I usually bring up in comparison to Song Quitong.
