Hua Cheng is the Simpest of Simps™ and I, as a simp myself, get him so much. Loving someone the way he loves Xie Lian is terrifying and also amazing. Been there, done that, still doing it and I don't wanna do anything for the rest of my life.
His love is in the big gestures but also in the smol things.
It's in the 10k statues but also telling Xie Lian to cry out if it hurts. it's in sacrificing his unlife so that Xie Lian can live and thrive. It's also in being the most sincere person he'd ever meet.
It's in the gentle way he paints Xie Lian, in the soft, delicate brush of hands at the Gamblers Den. It's in wanting to protect him without caging him in. It's in allowing Xie Lian to be himself, and be there with him.
Don't fight me on this cause I don't have the spoons, but I believe that love is a choice. And Hua Cheng has been making that choice for 800 years and will make it for the rest of eternity.
It's all-encompassing and it is so, so scary. When you love someone like that, you have so much to lose. Yet Hua Cheng always chooses love and I can't respect him more for that.
