baihe_mediaI've subtitled the first episode (of three) of My Hot Butch Roommate (当合租室友是个很帅的女生, pinyin: dang hezu shiyou shi ge hen shuai de nüsheng), which I guess just about counts as a mini-drama? The total runtime across three episodes is about nine minutes. It aired originally here on the Juzi Niannian (橘子念念) Bilibili channel.
Based on what I've been able to find, Juzi Niannian ('juzi' means tangerine, which is an allusion to GL due to its associations with the Japanese yuri manga Citrus) is run by four women, who have produced a number of contemporary GL one-shot short films with (to my eye) quite decent production values. They typically feature the same actress, Wu Yanling (吴焰凌), who plays the protagonist here (and is also the editor of these short films), alongside a rotating cast of co-leads. Wu Yanling gives a brief description of their team's setup in this Weibo post. She also explains that the creative team are all from Fujian, which may explain why people sometimes think they sound Taiwanese. The team has had a higher profile since last year when they released a commercial for the bubble tea brand Chagee.

I feel like if we have to make a bingo, "fever" will definitely have to be one of the squares. BL, BG, GL, all seems to use this trope of character being down with a fever softening the other character XDno subject
