Guys...In episode 30, Consort Yue touched my heart and made me cry. 😭😭😭😭 She put everyone in their place. Her words were so powerful and penetrated into my heart especially the last sentence "if anyone doubts your bride, ignore their foolish attempt". The English translation of that sentence cannot even convey how powerful it was. She literally said just consider those people as farting!

Nice list. I would recommend you to watch :The long ballad (FL and ML are badass here )The legend of Zhao Yao…
Ah yes + The Legend of Zhao Yao into my watched list! I definitely love that drama! It was my first Xu Kai and Bai Lu’s drama. Now you mentioned about this drama, I realized Xu Kai’s characters in The Legend of Zhao Yao and Ancient Love Poetry have similarities when it comes to the girls they love. Both make a lot of sacrifices in silence. Maybe it’s just typical romance in Chinese dramas.
Can anyone please recommend some costume dramas (palace / xianxia / wuxia etc) to watch while waiting for new episodes to come out? I have watched a lot of Chinese costume dramas not limited to (some of them I have rewatched countless times) - Who Rules The World (Rewatched multiple times) - Word of Honor (Rewatched a few times) - A Dream of Splendor - Ancient Love Poetry - Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms (rewatched countless times) - Listening Snow Tower - Love and Redemption (Rewatched) - Princess Agent - The Untamed - The Romance of Tiger and Rose - Love Better than Immortality - Oh! My Emperor - The Eternal Love season 1 - Ashes of Love - Novoland: Pearl Eclipse - Joy of Life - Goodbye My Princess - Sleepless Princess - Evernight - Lost Love in Times - Nirvana in Fire - My Sassy Princess - Love of Thousand Years - An Oriental Odyssey - The Autumn Ballad - many more
I have tried to watch the following dramas but dropped halfway: - The Story of Minglan - A Student Arrives at Imperial College - The Heroes - The Eternal Love of Dream - The Journey of Flower - Douluo Continent - and many more
Re: episode 15 preview. Is that wedding scene an imagination of CSS? So this is my guess. When LBY asks CSS whether she is sure that she has chosen the right person to marry, CSS then ponders about his question and imagines LBY to be the groom instead of LY (cause the groom's side profile is definitely Wu Lei's). If I have guessed it right, this would mean deep down in CSS's heart, she wants a man like LBY to spend her life with. But she is in a denial mode right now because of her life experience being born in a military family and left by her parents since birth due to military duties. So she thinks it's better to marry someone that is safe and lives a peaceful life.
This situation is like logic vs emotions (feeling). As of now she seems to be following the logic side of things.
You wrote mo qing, but I think you mean qing mu. Agree it's has a good plot with great character development and…
Thanks for spotting the mistake in the name. My brain was not in sync with my fingers when typing. Hahaha. Yes agree great character development even for the villains. The bad characters mostly redeemed themselves. Except for Wuhuan and Jingzhao but they deserve their endings.
I tried to watch this drama during its airing time last year since I like xianxia genre. But dropped it after the first episode mainly due to the fact that I could not stand Shanggu's character. Almost a year later, while reading a comment section of A Dream of Splendor ADoS), one of the users gave a list of her favorite male characters that have undying love and Qing Mu from Ancient Love Poetry topped her list. I know all other characters (Yehua of TMoPB, Yu Sifeng of L&R, Gu Qianfan of ADoS) in the list because I have watched or been watching those dramas except Qing Mu of ALP. It got me curious because I like all the male characters she mentioned. Hence, I decided to find out about this Qing Mu and gave this drama a second chance. Long story short, I binge-watched all 49 episodes in 4 days! I was that drawn to the story! There was no one dull moment in the drama. It had a nice pace and a very well executed flow of the story. I liked that they spent 16 episodes to give us some background, build up the details and problems. These details in the first arc made the story in the second and the third arc more relatable and easier to follow with not so many flashbacks. The story of Shanggu and Bai Jue, Qing Mu and Houchi are heartbreaking. I was an emotional mess as I smiled at one moment and cried the next. Even though the happy moment in the ending was very brief, overall I was quite satisfied with the ending as every character be it supporting or main character, good or bad, was addressed nicely and each got their well deserved ending. I can say this drama has one of the best executed endings and conclusions in recent years especially in this genre.
I am glad that I picked this drama again. It was of the best and I'd recommend to give it a try.
TLLG is so so so so so so so good.
