I’ve read the novel a couple times, happy to answer any q or did u want like a whole story summary?
this might be long sorry 😅
the novel starts off where JBZ is at a hall with a few important people and he’s sitting at a table with his friends. MY is a dancer waitress at the hall and while she’s serving guests she accidentally drops a cup and it rolls and stops in front of JBZ’s leg. JBZ is a womanizer, douche, very confident in himself, he’s blunt, has a particular type of women he likes. the ones that are pretty, delicate, weak, someone he can protect. MY apologises for dropping the cup, and JBZ says “why don’t you come home with me?” JBZ friend laughs at him and says to MY, “don’t be fooled, you’re not the only girl he said that to tonight, better for u to come home with me, I wont treat u badly, whereas he’d get bored of you”, MY says thanks to JBZ but bc she cares about stability and money she declines and agrees to the Friend, JBZ annoyed, offers her more and she agrees.
once at his house (outer courtyard) we find out more of MY’s past. before coming to Muxing city, she was known as Ming Xian (the 7th time six cities tournament winner from Chaoyang city) she was extremely powerful and legendary and the youngest winner. however a year ago Ming Xian disappeared. he was never seen again nor did he compete in the six cities tournament. that was because, Ming Xian was poisoned. for a yuan fighter, their meridians are really important and bc of the poison, her meridians were extremely destroyed and twisted together. once it gets rlly bad, she would die. at that time she had no idea how she got poisoned and how long for. the day she was disposed of she felt sick and in so much pain and asked for help but she came face to face with her mother, the Empress, who told her subordinate to dispose of her and take care of the body. at that moment MY was confused why her mum wanted to kill her. lucily, a eunuch (the subordinate) didn’t dispose of her body, instead he saved her, but barely. he told her to find someone in Muxing City, he was the only one who had the antidote and that person was JBZ.
Back to the story. once at JBZ’s house, MY and JBZ were very lovey dovey. when she was introduced to Nanny Xu (who takes care of things at the house), nanny Xu assumed she was only here for a month at most. like most girls JBZ brought home. she pitied MY a bit. but she was also astonished at how blatant and greedy MY was. MY didn’t hide her love for gold and materialistic things so whenever JBZ wanted to spend the night more intimately she was always satisfied with the gold he would offer her lol. however, as soon as he brought her home, someone from the investigative department came knocking on his door. there was a murder. right after all the guests left the town hall for dinner that night, one of the men (I can’t rmb his position but he was kind of important) died. and they were investigating all people especially the dancers who were able to interact with everyone. JBZ said he checked MY and there was no way she could’ve killed that guy, so they said ok and did the formal basic requirements and then left. while she stays at his house there’s more about the murder etc. while JBZ is out doing is work, MY tries to find the antidote but can’t find anything bc this is the outer court and not the inner court of his home (inner court is nearer the capital).
I don’t think so… this is her first Xianxia drama. her parents don’t have anything to do with the industry.…
I see, I meant compared to like Huanyu and Hesong the size is smaller, but I get what u mean. I actually only know LYT and ZLH in her agency so I assumed that was it and maybe a couple more stars. I see that’s interesting, sorry I’m not familiar with hot searches, thanks for the info! (do yk if competitors buy bad hot searches? and how expensive are hot searches) idk exactly how well the agency treats her but while she was at the airport earlier this year she travelled with no manager or security and a guy tapped her on the head while she was going through the airport. I remember at that time only her dad was there and her fans got that on video so her agency from then on started to tighten security. but isn’t photo shoots standard? I rmb she got flamed on the internet when promoting PM. her perfect match styling by her team for promotions was not good and she was made fun of on the internet, but it’s been getting better! but yeah I agree her resources are definitely not bad. I hope she can go far 🫶 I will delete the last sentence of my original comment, thanks for the info 🫶
in the novel, STL and JBZ weren’t on good terms. tbh STL didn’t have a huge role in the novel. Bu Xiu is JBZ’s subordinate. he handles his affairs and follows his orders.
Does Lu Yu Xiao have connections or something? She can’t act? She’s like Lin Yi.
I don’t think so… this is her first Xianxia drama. her parents don’t have anything to do with the industry. they’re doctors. she studied fashion. she was scouted by her agency cos she was a bit popular on weibo. at that time her dad was hesitant to support her (bc he was worried abt it being a stable career) but her uncle did so they let her try. she was on an acting show and took small roles before her break out role in MJTY as Shangguan Qian. her agency is Star times.
The trailer looks very interesting. How good is the source novel? 🤔
I rlly enjoyed the novel. some people thought the second half dragged a bit (I found it was a bit slower then the first half but I still enjoyed it) the drama has changed some things so I think the second half will be different. (STL wasn’t a villain in the novel. the girl that stabs STL in the new trailer didn’t exist in the novel and Tian ji was not a princess)
Good question, it seems that Tang Qing was an actress along with Susu and Mulan. The biggest unknown for me is…
wai what happened in the jail 😭😭 is it the part where he holds the gun to his head and susu is separated from him by a jail door and she’s holding onto him as it rains?
It looks like a chameleon, I could be wrong its not very clear in the poster.
oooh yes it does look a bit like one!! ikr 😂 I’ve been staring at it and each time I can’t tell what I’m looking at haha. guess we’ll find out when it airs 👀
