Chinese BL ‘Revenged Love’ Is the Campy, Chaotic Romance We’ve Been Waiting a Decade For (Viki)

If you’ve been starving for a good Chinese BL since, well... Addicted got cut short a decade ago, then Revenged Love (逆爱) might just be the drama to fill that gaping void—and it’s doing so with camp, sass, snakes (yes, literal ones), and some of the best on-screen tension we’ve seen in years.

Currently airing twice a week across streaming platforms like Viki, VIU, Rakuten TV, and Daily Short, Revenged Love is making waves for being bold enough to even exist under China's strict BL regulations. But not only did it make it past the cutting board, it came out swinging.


✦ What’s the Buzz About?

BL dramas coming out of China are rare, but Revenged Love doesn’t just rely on the novelty. It’s actually good. In fact, it's unexpectedly refreshing. The story’s silly, the chemistry is fire, and the cast—especially leads Tian Xuning and Zi Yu—has genuine spark. That natural back-and-forth tension between the characters? It’s giving enemies-to-lovers, but also chaos-to-cuddles.

Let’s be honest—there are a few eyebrow-raisers. Some scenes give mafia-boss-fanfic-core, especially with Chi Cheng's over-the-top bad boy energy. And if you’ve got a phobia of snakes... maybe watch with one eye closed. But those are minor bumps in what’s otherwise a surprisingly smooth (and hilarious) ride.


✦ Plot Recap:

Wu Suo Wei, raised in a humble background, is dumped by his filthy rich boyfriend and vows revenge by glamming himself up, launching a business, and conveniently flirting with his ex’s new fling: Chi Cheng, the spoiled heir to a family conglomerate.
The twist? Suo Wei didn’t expect to actually catch feelings.

One flirty fake-dating arc turns into mutual pining, complicated feelings, and a whole lotta tension. But with old heartbreak, clashing worlds, and emotional manipulation lurking underneath the fluffy exterior—can their relationship survive?


✦ Why Fans Are Obsessed:

  • Genuine Chemistry – You feel the connection. Both main and second couples are convincingly into each other, which isn’t always a given in censored BL.

  • Campy but Clever – It’s got dramatic flair and slapstick comedy, but it’s also not afraid to push emotional buttons.

  • Big Risk, Big Respect – The production team managed to sneak this into the mainstream without completely watering it down. It’s cheeky, sure, but still meaningful.

  • 24 Episodes, Baby – That’s a lot of story to unpack. Fingers crossed it doesn’t get the dreaded cut halfway through.


✦ Cast

  • Tian Xuning as Chi Cheng – Rich boy with a dark side and questionable fashion sense.

  • Zi Yu as Wu Suo Wei – Sassy, petty, and a bit of a wildcard, but also heartbreakingly sincere.

  • Supporting cast also includes fresh faces with surprisingly strong comedic timing.
