Novels I read for the audiodrama cover art

judge a book by the cover of its adaptation ~

钟情 by 静水边 on Mao'er FM -- We have dragons, capes, and swords, in space! Are they real or symbolic? What genre is this actually? I never read a space-themed danmei or any original guide/sentinel stories, so this picture totally hooked me for the novelty.

心眼 by 北南 on Manbo-- This cover art actually sketches out a story instead of "just vibes". Why is this guy leaving? Why did the other person take until the train station to try to stop him? Are the big red headphones over the ears important symbolism to contrast or complement the "eyes" in the title?

我成了虐文女主她亲哥/I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel by 刘狗花 on Mao'er FM -- You can just tell the boy in white is Best Boy™ who deserves ALL the cookies and encouraging pats on the head. The boy in blue is obviously trying to be cool and ready to bite the head off anyone who is mean to Best Boy™, so he also deserves cookies and a pat on the head.

督主有病/Governor’s Illness by 杨溯 on Mao'er FM -- Bare branches, autumn leaves, and dramatic winds. Based on my years of watching c-drama, two people looking at each other like this under a pavilion are almost certainly headed for a dramatic and/or tragic confrontation. This picture is promising beautiful, poetic angst.

君有疾否/Jun You Ji Fou by 如似我闻– on Mao'er FM -- That gremlin's little smile and adoring expression while he plays with his partner's hair! The intimacy implied by the the bare forearm, loose hair, and untied cloak! The reservation and uncertainty in one partner's expression, contrasted with their physical closeness! This relationship is going to be so much to unpack!

Pangzi: *glances at Xiao Ge* no maam, I don't think I'll let him do that.

THE MARKSON LOVE STORY

bonus:

The thing I like about Hua Cheng carving companions for all the Xie Lian statues is that it does two things. It forces Hua Cheng to depict himself as somewhat of an equal to Xie Lian. (Plus he has to make nice statues of himself as to not sully the Xie Lian statues. He has to look at himself in a positive, or at least neutral light.) It also shows that Xie Lian isn't alone anymore. Even his representations are not alone.

It kind of brings both their character arcs full circle. Hua Cheng is worthy of being with Xie Lian without making himself lesser than. Xie Lian doesn't have to be alone for other's safety. He also doesn't have to earn his place with Hua Cheng. Hua Cheng loves him as is now, as well as how he was at every point in his life so far. (He understands (and loves) Xie Lian's everything after all.)
