omg i get you, the obvious egyptian inspiration was so pretty but then you see the queen and the dragon look like they come from scandinavia??? i am begging eastern asian authors to stop being so afraid of melanin
They seem to be obsessed with "jade/fair" skin and eyebrows since long ago. You only need to read a couple of CN to find out. Authors spend a considerable portion of their written content in describing such details. How handsome the ML or this or that male character are due to their eyebrows and how beautiful a woman is for her fair skin like jade/ like a fairy. Oh. And not to forget the soo white teeth.
yeah, those are their beauty standards and while it isn't my place to speak on it since i am not chinese (there are plenty of chinese ppl who do speak out about that colorism issue!) it just rubs me the wrong way whenever they take this clearly egyptian aesthetic and just plaster their beauty standards on it! just like when hollywood used to make cleopatra a white woman when she was Macedonian greek! like, that's what truly screams cultural appropriation to me #－.－)
O limão é um psicopata, a narrativa é meio confusa mas n é muito complicada só não gostei, e eu sei que é chines mas a autora claramente se inspirou no egito antigo com rainha do reino do fogo, mas ela ta tão branca q machuca meus olhos
