Hello!
I've been there too.
I feel lost when the character I like is adapted.
One answer has already given some ideas. I'll add a few more to help.
1. Understand your emotions.
You said, "I've liked this drama for seven years, and the heroine is my dream lover." She's already a part of our lives.
She may have placed a lot of our wishes in her and accompanied herself.
This feeling is deep.
For example:
Many people, including me, like Leslie Cheung.
You can still remember the good things he brought.
I think it's the same for you and this heroine.
We don't want to see the heroine and other female characters being messed up in the book.
Comfort yourself.
Understand yourself.
You won't change your feelings for the heroine just because others are unhappy.
If we like and believe in our dream lover, it won't be destroyed.
We know who we are, even if others misunderstand or slander us.
2. Know what you believe and think.
You say it's wrong to make money off the dead. I understand.
We need to see our own beliefs.
Have you heard of should thinking?
There are two kinds of should thinking:
There are two kinds of should thinking: about the world and others, and about oneself.
For example, we may think other people shouldn't do this.
Some people do wrong things for traffic or profit.
We feel bad when things don't go as planned.
We can't fight it. People always do things we think they shouldn't.
We have to learn to see what we want and need.
There are ways to deal with it.
We can fight back and point out that these practices are disgusting.
But we may not be able to change anything.
We can ignore it or try not to see it.
Discomfort is an opportunity to grow.
These feelings show us that society and people are complex and different.
Reality isn't always what we want it to be.
We don't have to think of society as bad.
Everyone has different needs.
If we change our thinking, we may get a different response.
You can also help yourself identify.
At first, many people used eye-catching topics to make article titles, but the content was empty. In the short term, it may have brought traffic, but in the long run, they lost readers because of this.
You say you can't accept your favorite anime character being drawn in a smutty way. But there may be others who feel the same way.
It may not help him in the long run.
Dear questioner, You will have new thoughts and see more.
You will learn to comfort yourself. This is how you grow up.
Just share them.
Read Social Psychology if you want to know more.
Best wishes!

This story has always been a tearjerker for me. It's so heartbreaking that she had feelings for him for so long, and he only found out at the end. Her strength in facing her illness with his support shows how powerful love can be, even if it's not returned in the same way initially.
The male protagonist's effort to connect with her through a lie to help both of them heal is such a bittersweet part of the story. It's amazing how sometimes lies can lead to genuine connections. I feel like this shows that intentions matter more than the means sometimes.
It's incredibly sad that despite everything they went through together, including that risky surgery and rehabilitation, she couldn't overcome her disease. Her passing left such a profound impact on everyone who watched the series. The fact that her parents honored her memory with those keepsakes is touching.
I understand your frustration with finding that fanbook. It's disappointing when someone profits from the emotional investment fans have in characters, especially when it distorts the original narrative we've come to love. It feels like a betrayal of what made the story special to us.
When you're looking for sweet fanfiction and instead find something that doesn't align with your appreciation of the characters, it can be really upsetting. I share your sentiment; it's important to respect the integrity of the characters and the stories that mean so much to people.
