Thank you. But honestly, I cannot take the titles seriously. 😂 Like why are they so geiiiiiii? I feel like more people should be aware of these translated titles.

So absolutely ridiculous omg how did this pass through the censorship???

And Guardian is a trainwreck anyway what with the drama attempting to tell at least three separate stories (censored version, novel version, subtext version), and SO BLATANTLY gloriously failing one can only reach the conclusion it HAD to be deliberate because there are seriously no script writers idiotic enough and also it just seems like this huge excercise in deconstruction and gigantic rhyzomic spreading underground narration of triumphant queerness

I mean how else can you explain “Shen Wei continues to be tied to the pole and couldn’t get down” *dies*

I AGREE WITH YOU 10000001%!

Some of the titles are pure gold. Why didn’t I know of this before? Like look at them! If you tell me it’s a BL drama based on these titles alone, I WOULD BELIEVE YOU!

My personal favorite for pure “does what it says on the tin” has to be:

EP22 赵云澜看不见了看见了看不见了看见了

Zhao Yunlan can’t see can see can’t see can see 

And as for titles that are “yes this is definitely the most important part of the episode”…

EP26 天气热了 沈巍为赵云澜披衣保暖

The weather’s hot. Shen Wei drapes clothes over Zhao Yunlan to keep him warm.
