Day 13/30 of analyzing Sangyang (except season 3 already came out cuz I’ve been chudding around and missed over half of the days I was supposed to post oops).
Anyways here’s some of my theories for the story:
1. this will be the last season. honestly I got 0 evidence for this, but the end of season 2 seems like a great 3rd act low point. Also the author spent nearly 2 years on this season so I’m assuming it’s to make sure everything in the story and ending flows correctly. 2. Xin will get a haircut. Again, zero evidence for this, but I’m a seasoned manga/wha reader. Rule 20 of Bl Manga: Everytime there’s a male character w long hair he gets a haircut at some point. I don’t make the rules sorry. 3. Season 3 will focus on the main four (definitely not saying that cuz I saw the season 3 cover whoops). But the author has implied several times that those are the main 4 even tho Lian and Wei haven’t been shown much in the story so far, so this season has to focus mostly on them. 4. Lian is actually not evil. Again imo she likes Xin wayyy too much to actually want him dead. And I feel like the few panels we got of her backstory hint at something deeper. I think the majority of her antagonism comes from the fact that she rly hates Lau again it’s kinda cuz of him that Xin went into the annex and lian missed graduation w Xin. 5. Wei is also not evil. I think the few scenes we have of his true thoughts when he’s not around Lian does imply a kind of idk animosity between them? They get along just fine but it’s only really because Wei goes along w Lian’s whims (possibly due to backstory reasons) 6. Xin wasn’t the one who slimed Alex out. I think Chen definitely talked to Xin at one point cuz Xin behaved strangely when Lau mentioned Chen, but I think the head family were the ones who did it in the first place. Also it’s not like Xin could do anything regardless i feel. But I don’t think Lian was the one who put Alex in that state either. But she didn’t plea to the head family elders to help because Alex being in a coma makes it easier to use Chen for her plan. 7. The tattoo plan is some sort of ritual for the new initiation of Xin as the new Zhou family heir, separated from the rest of the collateral line. I rly don’t understand how him potentially dying would help that plan tho I also don’t rly understand if the head family knows he’s dying..? Cuz suna says only she knows the ingredients, but Lian clearly knows the reason why Xin is sick is cuz of the dye’s ingredients, maybe she doesn’t know how severe it is? 8. My biggest prediction is that Xin won’t die and Lauxin will live happily ever after. 0 evidence, pure delusion. The story has implied Xin will die so many times that tbh atp I feel like it would be more subversive to just have him live. Also I think lauxin will get together because they haven’t even had a chance to be happy yet so I feel like the author has to let them be happy at some point right. Right?
