Summary: It was not, Bai Yu thought with significant irritation, as if this was the first time he’d had a crush on a colleague.
Why I'm Reccing This: There are four distinct characters in this story and the author does a beautiful job of keeping that clear throughout. Shen Wei is not Zhu Yilong or vice versa and Bai Yu is not Zhao Yunlan or vice versa - even though for plot-driven spoilery reasons they kind of are, in this setup. And yet throughout the narrative and even with switching between multiple alternating POVs, the author manages to write them all consistently & keep their individual quirks - both similarities and differences w/each other - carried onward with consummate skill, so that you never feel so much overlap that either counterpart becomes indistinct from the other. There is very little actual character bleed which is remarkable in a story that highlights the risk/benefit potentials of character bleed from the very start :)
