I'm sad

i mean the company that does the art for the manhua made some really good art w xie lian and hua cheng so theres always that, but its kinda bc of chinas sensor laws for the reaosn theres no "mature" scenes between the two

Pain.

I know. But in the novel as well. her other works had more graphic scenes, too

I seem to recall some extras at the end of the novel, but yeah, the actual business was pretty much implied, not graphically spelled out. Still, there were some pretty sexy moments. It was a far cry from another one of her works, Scumbag System, where these scenes focused on pain, not pleasure. Mo Xiang Tong Xiu takes a very ambivalent approach to male coupling, and some of it is harsh.

i haven’t read this yet, but you’re saying they don’t even kiss? T-T

No they do at least that.

ohh okay

I also haven't read the novel yet.

But I just want to ask if they had sex in the novel? Even if it's not explained in detail. But you just know that they did it. Something like that. So did they have have sex at least once? I just wanna know.

It is implied that they've definitely had sex together, multiple times. There are some steamy moments that don't quite go all the way. They are definitely in love with each other and passionate about each other. They are definitely sexually turned on by each other. They definitely care about each other as friends and partners, too. It has been awhile since I've read the novel, and I can't remember any explicit descriptions of sex between the two of them per se, although there is some pretty kinky stuff going on because they are in a magical world and magic informs every part of their lives. Plus, Hua Cheng has carried a torch for this Crown Prince almost since the very beginning. This is not unrequited love. This is very much reciprocated and passionate.
