I think they were shipped even BEFORE the promos... like, Gongyu and Caiyin (Tianyi/Ling originals) were sometimes seen together... and before the animations released, they were shipped. :/  So people really wanted Ling to be next, but clearly SHN went a different route, and basically pissed off Ling / Tianyi x Ling fans. Louis told me that on some Tianyi and YANHE duet songs, there would be some hateful comments from the Tianyi x Ling fans... which was just sad.

This is essentially why I keep saying that SHN just CAN'T cancel Ling unless they want to lose customers or piss off the fandom. So unfortunately for people who wanted a male Chinese VOCALOID, they would have to wait until after Ling and Lorra are out :/

Aside from the lack of male, I'm just annoyed because SHN could potentially release those two at the same time... and I just think it's a bad idea since Ling would swipe away potentially Lorra fans. It just doesn't.... work well I suppose. But that's only if it's a possibility that SHN would release them together, but it also depends on NetEase since they have joint custody over Lorra.
