Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Immortality represents the rare live-action xianxia adaptation that survived China's censorship crackdown on BL content—by making everything subtext so loud it became text-adjacent.
The source novel 'The Husky and His White Cat Shizun' has over 300 chapters; the 58-episode structure suggests we're only getting Book 1, and the production's 'In Production' status has fans in permanent agony.
