I’m glad jurei actually gave loulan a hefty punishment instead of letting her off the hook bc what she did was severe, even if jurei managed to make the most of her circumstances. Sex work is a honest job and I respect those who do it because it’s definitely not easy so make no mistake being banished to a brothel is not the punishment but the fact she will have to work really hard the rest of her life. Her grace to her since it was also a product of her circumstances is that she will be rewarded if she works hard (moving up the hierarchy and receiving more protection if needed)
It was NOT BL, just a friendly relationship between two men. The plot was about a salaryman's superior that turned SD/chibi for some reason (i think stress over worrying about whether they were too harsh on their subordinates but im not sure) and his subordinate that would bring him sweets (to calm down i think?) when he was in his tiny form. the superior had cherry red hair and i think the subordinate had grey/blond hair.
If anyone remembers the name of it let me know!
Edit: If it helps, it was a black and white japanese comic (hence why i said manga but some people interchange manga/manhua/manhwa so this is just for extra clarification)
Cold sores caused by herpes can look very similar to ones caused by stress and lack of sleep. Please get an actual diagnosis from a healthcare professional if you notice cold sores around your mouth because if they were just caused by the latter reason there’s no reason to think your life is over just because they showed up
