Xie Lian continuó: “Aunque todos todavía estamos un poco alterados en este momento, todavía quiero aprovechar esta oportunidad para hacerte una pregunta, y espero que me respondas de manera honesta y seria.”

“De acuerdo.” Dijo Hua Cheng.

Xie Lian preguntó solemnemente: “¿Quién es esa persona noble, amable y especial?”

La mano de Hua Cheng que estaba atada con el nudo rojo de afinidad se contrajo un par de veces de forma imperceptible.

Se quedó en silencio por un rato antes de responder lentamente: “Si Su Alteza ya se ha enterado, entonces, ¿por qué preguntar?”

Xie Lian asintió: “Ya veo. Así que no entendí mal. Realmente es verdad.”

Hua Cheng no habló.

Después de una pausa, Xie Lian preguntó con voz plana: “¿Tú... no quieres saber cómo me siento al respecto?“

Hua Cheng giró la cabeza ligeramente como si quisiera mirar hacia atrás, pero al mismo tiempo, tenía miedo de mirar a Xie Lian a los ojos, por lo que solo se podían ver dos vetas de sangre en su mejilla. “¿Podría Su Alteza… no decirme?”

Incluso su voz estaba rota. Xie Lian dijo: “Lo siento. Algo como esto tiene que decirse claramente.”

Hua Cheng no necesitaba respirar, pero cuando escuchó esto, respiró profundamente.

Aunque su rostro estaba trágicamente pálido, todavía sonrió y respondió cortésmente: “Eso es cierto. Eso es lo mejor.”

Era como un criminal en el corredor de la muerte esperando su sentencia y cerró los ojos. Sin embargo, no había pasado mucho tiempo cuando los abrió abruptamente.

Un par de brazos lo habían rodeado por detrás y lo abrazaron con fuerza de repente.

Xie Lian había enterrado su rostro en su espalda y tampoco habló. Aunque no se dijo nada, fue suficiente.

Pasó un buen tiempo antes de que Xie Lian sintiera que la persona a la que abrazaba se daba la vuelta, devolviendo el agarre y envolviéndolo en un fuerte abrazo.

Escuchó la voz tambaleante de Hua Cheng que venía de arriba: “Su Alteza… realmente serás la muerte para mi.”

Again. Not with this author. Not with this story.

If we’re going to talk about racism, let’s first talk about what racism actually is.

Racism is about discriminating against, prejudging, or portraying someone as inherently inferior because of their race or skin color.

That’s why I think two completely different conversations are being mixed together.

One is discussing how a fantasy story draws inspiration from real cultures or historical periods. That’s a valid discussion, and everyone is free to have it.

A completely different conversation is claiming a story is racist simply because it features a dark-skinned protagonist and a lighter-skinned love interest.

Looking at Blossoms of the White Night, I simply don’t see Shuraka being portrayed as inferior because of his skin color. On the contrary, he is one of the most powerful people in his world. He becomes Emperor, and throughout the story he is intelligent, respected, admired, and feared.

Even the difference in skin tones makes sense within the world’s own logic. Shuraka comes from a warm southern region, while Tei comes from a snowy northern land. Their appearances fit the environments they were raised in. That’s worldbuilding.

Another point that keeps getting overlooked is that there isn’t a “white savior” trope here. Neither character exists to “save” the other. They protect each other, grow together, and change each other’s lives. At no point does the story suggest that one has more value because of their skin color or social status.

People have also brought up the harem, so let’s talk about that.

Yes, a harem exists in the story. But the way it’s portrayed in the current timeline of the manhwa is completely different. The former emperor treated it one way. Shuraka doesn’t. He gives those women a safe place to live, treats them with dignity and respect, and never sees them as people to possess.

So even if the author drew inspiration from a historical institution, she also changed the role it plays within the story. Rather than repeating how it traditionally functioned, she presents a ruler who chooses a different path.

And let’s not forget something important: Blossoms of the White Night is a fantasy story. It isn’t presented as a historical documentary or a literal representation of one specific empire, religion, or culture. It includes fictional kingdoms, monsters, and an entirely fictional world.

Could it be inspired by real cultures or historical periods? Absolutely. Many fantasy stories are. But inspiration and literal representation are not the same thing.

And here’s what I keep asking myself:

If the dark-skinned protagonist is never portrayed as less intelligent, less capable, less worthy, or less human because of his skin color… then where is the racial discrimination within the story?

And if a historical element like the harem isn’t glorified but instead is reinterpreted in a way that gives it a completely different role, shouldn’t that also be part of the conversation?

I also think we should be careful not to treat skin color alone as automatic proof of racism.

Because if every story featuring a dark-skinned protagonist and a lighter-skinned love interest is immediately labeled racist without first looking at how the characters are actually written, then we’re reaching conclusions before the story itself supports them.

For me, stories should be judged by what they actually show, not by assumptions made before the story itself makes those claims.

When he was seriously arguing with me that hepatitis is a genetic disorder

He studied Computer Science
I studied medical laboratory science

He insisted I didn’t know what I was saying and called his mom who didn’t go to school to tell me how hepatitis is a genetic disorder

It’s incredibly insane how all women understand what she’s talking about but men seem to just not get it. The male brain is interesting.
