something beautiful about chu wanning being submissive in bed is that it gives him an opportunity to indulge the giving, kind side of himself that he keeps buried. of course, a huge part of why submission is suited to chu wanning is the fact that he wants to be pampered and

doted on, taken and claimed passionately by the one he loves, to feel cherished and wanted. but i think that he also takes great pleasure in using his body and his submission to please mo ran... he loves mo ran so much and he is such a kind soul that he can't help but want to

please him.

2ha spoilers

during mo ran 2.0 and chu wanning's first sex scene (ch 189), chu wanning says "let me help you," as he asks for an opportunity to do something for mo ran, an opportunity to give him something good by pleasing him. later, cwn gently asks,

"are you feeling good?" looking for reassurance that mo ran is enjoying this, that his body is giving him pleasure.

this is so liberating for chu wanning because he is naturally a kind and giving person who always chooses to do things for the ones he loves.

but he is thin faced and lofty and isn't great at expressing this. instead, he keeps his kindness hidden in his heart, where no one can see, due to him being unable to express himself. not knowing how to show kindness externally without shame or reservation leaves chu wanning

feeling unfulfilled. he needs an outlet for his giving nature, needs to be able to express it without feeling like it must be hidden. he allows himself to be vulnerable for mo ran by pleasing him. that vulnerability is precious and mo ran handles it carefully in his hands,

pouring his love and affection in thanks for his shizun taking care of him so well as always. even when chu wanning is blissed out and in his most pillow princess state, he is not a selfish lover. he wants to feel good, yes, but he also wants to give mo ran pleasure.

chu wanning wants to be pampered and doted on, but will always feel a thrill of joy and arousal every time that mo ran tells him how good he feels.

and that's one of the reasons i think submission is so liberating for chu wanning... he gets to give himself openly and

willingly to the man he loves without his guard up... he gets to be his most vulnerable self with someone who loves, respects, and cherishes him.
