“This is the comic I followed the longest on Kuaikan, and the one that made me cry the hardest. Gao Hang and Ye Zi, Su Ci and Lu Qian — each of them has an imperfect past, but in this story they fit together perfectly. It’s just so gentle.”
— Kuaikan Comics reader

“Yan Jiu‘s art is extremely delicate and clean. She is very good at conveying emotion through eyes and tears. The characters’ eyelashes and hair are exquisitely drawn, and the soft, fresh colors give the whole comic a unique healing power that can quiet you down.”
— Zhihu/Douban comic critic

★ Over 49.5 billion popularity on Kuaikan Comics, 7.41 million followers, 2.84 million comments, rated 9.4. Print edition published up to Vol. 4.
★ Two stories about being seen. Ye Zi grew up under domestic violence, using “crying” as a disguise. Gao Hang became cold and guarded after losing his parents in childhood. After reuniting, Gao Hang sees through the fear behind Ye Zi‘s tears, and Ye Zi melts Gao Hang’s defenses with unconditional trust. In another storyline, composer Lu Qian pours his emotions into music and meets lyricist Su Ci online. The two, who have never met, build a deep connection through their collaboration and accidentally meet in real life, healing past wounds together.
★ Author Yan Jiu has over 390,000 followers on Weibo. Her delicate, clean art is praised for conveying emotion through eyes and tears, described by readers as “a healing power that makes you calm down.”
★ Comparable title “Given” has sold over 4.5 million copies, proving that BL manga with “modern music + healing relationships + mutual redemption” has a mature international readership. “Make Me Cry” differentiates itself with its psychological realism of domestic trauma and the emotional depth of “strength hidden behind tears.”

Ye Zi is a boy who cries easily. His tears come fast — when he‘s bullied, when he’s scolded by teachers, even when someone is simply kind to him. Everyone thinks he‘s weak. No one knows that his tears are a way of surviving the cracks of domestic violence — crying is a disguise he learned as a child.

Gao Hang remembers Ye Zi. The little boy who used to follow him around, always wiping his tears. Years later, they reunite. Gao Hang has become a cold, guarded, extremely restrained young man. He doesn’t want to let anyone get close, especially not this person who cries the moment they meet.

But Gao Hang slowly sees through Ye Zi‘s disguise. He discovers that the crying boy is actually stronger than anyone. Every time he cries, he still tries to smile. Every time he’s hurt, he still chooses to trust. And Ye Zi, in his clumsy but unconditional way, slowly pries open the shell Gao Hang has wrapped around himself.

Another thread is about music. Lu Qian is a solitary composer who pours all the feelings he cannot speak into his music. He meets a lyricist online named “Su Ci Ge Fu” — sunny, proactive, and his complete opposite. Two people who have never met build a tacit understanding that transcends distance through their long-term collaboration. Then they accidentally meet in real life. Su Ci, in his own way, step by step pulls Lu Qian out of his loneliness.

“Please, don‘t make me cry.”

This line is spoken by Ye Zi to Gao Hang, and also by Lu Qian to Su Ci. It is not a weak plea. It is the cry of someone who, after meeting a person they can fully entrust themselves to, takes off all their “pretended strength” and asks to be protected, to be seen.

This is a story about domestic trauma, growth, and mutual healing. Two imperfect people find a place in each other where they can cry.
