The Eternal Fragrance Episode 9

4/5 for never smiling grumpy cat Xiuyuan

We’ve had some intense episodes, so this one will release some tension. Some trivial love matters of secondary characters (writers love love triangles, don’t they?) The main characters keep on giving sweets, but this is where it gets a bit darker when our grumpy cat Xiuyuan can’t bring himself to smile even when he desperately needs it to escape from the demands of a slightly drunk female lead. This is such a great way of showing his inner turmoil. Everyone is carefree and young, while his big brother is suffering, and he can’t help it without hurting the people he finally started to care about. As is to be expected, this leads to a tragedy and wrong decisions being made… Can Lifei save him again, but this time from himself?..

That's a proper cliffhanger now, and I can't wait for tomorrow to see how they get out of this! 🫣😨Also, what's going on with Ye Ye, Gelin, and Changyue? Is it like a love triangle or something? Him being in love with Changyue and Changyue possibly with him too, but Gelin also loving him? And Changyue just can't do that to Gelin, so she rejects the guy? 🤨P.S. The biting each other must be their kink. 😏🤭
