Yeah, this breaks my suspension of disbelief. You don't just walk out of dental surgery all put together and pretty. The protagonist can't be shown looking a little messed up even in such circumstances? Is the taboo against not constantly conforming to cisheteronormative beauty standards really that strong?
Look, this is China, where all the lesbians are impossibly gorgeous and can only have physical maladies that further the yuri romance—sprained ankles where they need to be carried, colds or flu where they get fed porridge by their impossibly gorgeous love interest, etc.
It’s called “cultural difference.” Lol
(I guess most people of a certain age have had wisdom teeth out, which is why our first reaction is to squawk, “WTFF!?!” at this fantasy post-op. Mine weren’t even impacted at all, just a straight pull, and I was swollen and on pain meds for most of a week.)
EDIT: And don’t get me started about Chinese lesbian hair—that stuff is self-cleaning, never gets wet, and is almost prehensile if not indeed actually sentient.
