A lot of Chinese Novels seem to have pharmaceuticals/drugs usage, but none more so than the magical lust drug of a soup known as nourishing soup. I saw one use of it in TMR: Spoiler: Spoiler Chu Lian is told that her body is ‘cold’ and needs nourishment, so they trick her into drinking said soup. Then everyone proceeds to let her keep drinking this soup until she literally can’t take it anymore and the ML brings her to bed. In my eyes, that’s basically giving a girl a drink that you spiked with aphrodisiac and then saying it was consensual. Of course she wanted it, she’d been drugged! I’m just... befuddled on how this actually was a thing (I’m well aware that similar things and many worse things happen in Novels, even more so irl, and even more than that in our history).
Usually is only a rape drug if a man uses it on a woman, if its the other way around then its a love potion, i guess the chinesse thinks its a love potion every time?
Nope, it's only a rape drug if a young master or some other enemy uses it, if the MC uses it, it's a life saving drug for their own good.
To be fair though, usually when the MC does it it's actually some kind of medicine with a convenient side effect and it just can't be helped. So I'd blame that more on the authors not being capable of writing anything else cause they seemingly can't even think of how else the MC would ever get laid besides rape...
Wtf is that abomination someone kill it in in the name of the emperor of mankind,the greatest Chad to have ever lived.
Let me Seeif i can explain it... I dont kNow the context of your quote... But basically its like...traditional chinese medicine has a thing where your body can be too hot or too cold. If you are too cold you drink a nourishing soup - literally a nourishing soup with ingredients with normal food and/or herbal medicine to counteract the cold... This probably doesn't really make sense if you're not use to the concept, but that's the idea... Food & medicine has a property of hot or cold. Of course, if you are drinking lots of hot food, that also increase your sexual desire, in the same way eating cold food will decrease your desire. So it should not be a suprise to the girl that she wants to xxx after drinking the soup for a long time, i wouldn't count it as rape. Again keep in mind i dont know the context for this story, so i dont know how they "tricked" her, but thats the general idea.
