Welcome to the Lord Yunzhong hate train :) I've been waiting for the new episode and I'm so glad it's finally here!   Qingcang also took off his ring when he shows Lanhua the fake Arbiter hall but was met with her disappointment.

The truth is out! Our Orchid fairy knows the truth of who the man she’s been spending her time with is: the Moon Supreme, the cold and cruel leader who wants to destroy her people. Although… he doesn't seem to be as cold as she thought he would be when he’s with her. Join us as we discuss the budding friendship between two unlikely souls and the extent to which one would go to uphold the facade of the "monster" they were made into.

In this episode, we cover episodes 9 to 16 of Love Between Fairy and Devil. 

Triggers: mentions of torture, marriage, death, manipulation, imprisonment, bullying, infantilization, body swapping.

Media of the week: Love Between Fairy and Devil, directed by Yi Zheng, 2022

Romancing the Monsters is a podcast that looks at the monster within: the shadow keeping the characters away from true and absolute happiness. This monster can be a prejudice, fear, insecurity, trauma and so on. We believe that romance novels are as much about one's personal journey as they are about finding love. 

After all, love makes us vulnerable and forces us to bare our monsters to another.
