when it comes to people who acknowledge and love all sides of jiang xuening, shen zhiyi cannot be forgotten.
yes, dianxia does have a bit of a lovesick filter on when it comes to her beloved ningning, but she also knows who jiang xuening is as a person. she isn’t so blind as to casually miss her fierce temper, ignore her schemes and manipulation, and disregard her poor choices— you can see it in shen zhiyi’s expressions and tone, the concerns she voices, and particularly through her perspective in the novel— but these things could never make her love jiang xuening any less.
shen zhiyi isn’t oblivious. she knows that jiang xuening uses her at times to get what she wants, but what’s important is that she doesn’t care. she never has and she never will, because everything she does is her choice. she only wants jiang xuening to know that she doesn’t have to do anything at all to get her support, because she will always be there by her side, without any conditions attached.
there is no doubt that jiang xuening is the person she trusts most in the world. even if jiang xuening makes a decision she doesn’t particularly agree with, she will still never raise any complaint to her. shen zhiyi trusts that jiang xuening’s judgment and choices are right for herself, even if they’re not right to her, and it’s as simple as that. if there are any consequences, she will be there to resolve them. jiang xuening couldn’t lose her if she tried.
shen zhiyi and xie wei are the only two characters in kunning who see past all of jiang xuening’s sides, good and bad, and still recognize her true heart. the way they love her is different but also the same; if shen zhiyi is her shield, then xie wei is her sword.
and jiang xuening chooses them both.

I was seeing this color page
Beautiful, I know. And I've seen it before but never realized until now
Beneath Clara there is fire and not a bunch of leaves as I initially thought. And for a whole second I went "OH MY GOD CLARA YOU ABOUT TO BURN"
But I quickly remembered that Azz always lowers the temperature of his flames around her and Iruma so is actually warm and toasty .

Koisuru Psycho no Shirayuki-kun - Enatsu Haruka (8/10)
Oh no it's one of my weaknesses! A brawny, brute-force yandere in a real horror setting! No need to hold back here! Everyone sucks, so we can just enjoy the bloody show! I do feel bad for the protagonist though. He's just a victim surrounded by psychos.
Haruki is a classic bullied kid.
A nice guy who knows he can't fight back.
His bullies are serious. No emotional manipulation. No beating around the bush. Just pain. The story begins with a "waterboarding game".
Yup.
These kids are testing army torture methods out on their victim.
They do it wrong so they just punch him instead. The worst part is all three bullies are clearly enjoying the process. They aren't doing this because of some misunderstanding.
Being sadistic makes them feel good.
A mysterious boy appears!
He says their torture methods are "wrong".
They aren't inflicting the maximum amount of pain.
He's a small guy, but he asserts his dominance immediately.
He accidentally saves Haruki as well.
The difference in "skill" and the lack of emotion the sadistic boy shows is a HUGE red flag.
Haruki is a victim with a savior complex. He knows the bullies are dangerous and he doesn’t want his innocent classmates to suffer.
He hates his life, but he's able to endure it because of this virtuous delusion.
Shirayuki the Psycho thinks that's cute.
He officially introduces himself, and his intentions are clear.
He's not interested in waterboarding like the bullies, but he does want to play with Haruki.
Shirayuki is some form of sociopath, but the story has only just begun. We don't know if his crush is real or not, but Shirayuki smiles brightly when he stands up for Haruki.
He wants to date Haruki.
Haruki is immediately proven correct.
When Shirayuki stands up for him a second time the head bully pulls a knife.
Shirayuki doesn't even flinch.
The sudden strength reveal is crazy, and it also implies that Shirayuki is going to get rid of the bullies through physically torturous means.
Shirayuki is strong enough to:
- Carry his crush.
- Jump out of a second story building unharmed.
- Fend off a larger foe with a knife.
In other words he's a OP yandere and the bullies are just kids who aren't prepared to face a real challenger.
This will not be a sweet romance.
Haruki accidentally tells Shirayuki he can't date ANYONE as long as he's being bullied. He could NEVER let his lover suffer and be bullied with him.
The solution is obvious for a psycho like Shirayuki.
The bullies vanish one by one.
