this is unrelated but I changed my pfp for this drama and it kinda looks like when you flush toilet paper down the toilet š(if u look closely itās from the original TUS poster LOLL)
i saw some new photo stills of Quan Yi Lun & Shen Jia yuāa characters. it seems like theyāll have a bad endingā¦does anyone mind explaining a bit about their characters & their relationship? (I havenāt read the novel yet bc Iām reading something else but Iām sooo curious rn lol) Thankyou!!
Asura-easily angered and fond of fighting, brave and skilled in battle, having fought many fierce battles against the gods. The cause of their struggle was a divine tree called Sudatta-rapatala. The tree's roots were in Asura's territory, but its ripe fruits were in heaven. Asura grew wrathful and attacked the nine heavenly realms to confront the gods, demanding back what belonged to him. Though naturally kind-hearted and originally of the good path, his obsession with fighting meant he was not truly good. After death, he would forever fall into the evil path. But Asura also followed Buddhist law. ā¦ (another chap) ā¦ The Asura, stripped of all divine power, had come to the killing field he himself had created. He had become the prey.
"Choose one from among these characters. If you pick life, I'll let you go."
Xie Queshan watched Nanyi's expression. If she could read, she would know there was no "life" here, only "death"-no matter what she chose, it would be death. Yet her face showed not the slightest hesitation as she earnestly entered this gamble.
"This character is 'life."" Nanyi pointed to čØ
āAre you certain?ā
Nanyi nodded with certainty.
āWhy?ā
"This character is the most complex. I think life should be much harder than death, so it should be this character."
I loved the novel. the plot is right up my alley and the writing was beautiful! I hope we get an official casting announcement soon š¤ Iām really curious who will be casted to play Zhang Yuehui & Song muchen because I had trouble visualising them lolol. Personally I can substitute TJC and LYX as Xue Queshan & Nanyi. Canāt wait to see this start filming!!
in the novel, he wasnāt rlly annoying. his role wasnāt big. he admired Ming Yi and had feelings for her but was no match for JBZ. he just had unrequited feelings.
in the drama it looks like they made his character bigger. the lady who stabs him in the 3rd trailer didnāt exist in the novel. he says (To Ming Yi) āI wonāt let you dieā and then that other lady stabs him and says āthat means youāll have to give up the golden millet dream and let her have her way.ā seems like he might turn evil and do everything he can to āsave herā. hopefully he isnāt too annoying ššš¤i did hear that he will try and get her to marry him so š¬
super excitedddd this is the drama I waited the longest for !! Hong Ye š„¹ the coolest Demon king ever & the lovely Xiao Yao š canāt wait to meet this beautiful story š
Iāve read the novel a couple times, happy to answer any q or did u want like a whole story summary?
yay š!! no worries, I had fun writing it! Iām actually surprised I remembered that much š³ glad youāre excited!! itās gonna be sooo good š
in the novel he likes the FL (Ming Yi). from the trailer it looks like the sfl (Tian Ji) is paired with Yan Xiao…
hello! In the novel, situ ling is a supporting character. He admired Ming Yi for her strength and independence and knew that she didn't need saving. he was always quietly available. I understood his character as more "I can treat you better than he can", but yeah he stood no chance against Ji Bo Zai lol. I wouldn't say he was evil, just petty towards JBZ bc he watched someone he cares about get hurt. he never really made trouble for them, the most was probably when JBZ abandoned MY, STL came to her with lots of food. like he would make it a bit hard for JBZ to join in but he wasnāt evil.
the drama has changed quite a few things compared to the novel. one of them being that STLās charatcer is more active now. in the latest trailer (3), STL says āI will not let you dieā, heās saying that about Ming Yi. then in the next scene he gets stabbed by a woman who says āthat means youāll have it give up the golden millet dreamā. that woman was not in the novel at all so they added her in the drama. I think from that point on STL will be controlled by her or affected by that stab and will turn into a villain. Iām hoping he still retains his original essence like in the novel and Returns normal but he might become obsessed with saving her and stuff cos itās rumoured that he forces Ming Yi to get married or something which also didnāt happen in the novel lol. also in the novel he had no yuan power but it looks like he can use it in the drama so weāll see what happens cos I have no idea how š¤£
Iām also tired of obsessed 2ml as well HAHAHAA they feel so unnecessary. but at the beginning heās genuinely just one sided love. he never crossed her boundaries and Ming Yi just saw him as a younger brother, but in the drama he looks same as as her now lolol. canāt wait for Oct8 š
I donāt think soā¦ this is her first Xianxia drama. her parents donāt have anything to do with the industry.…
I see thanks for the information. my intention in my original comment was just to say I didn't think lyx had "connections". like I assumed they meant "special connections" bc of the way they framed their whole sentence. I'm not denying that her agency allows her more access and opportunities. I understand she's in a better situation then most now. thx for putting that to perspective.
also I actually liked her styling in PM drama lol. I meant specifically in this promotion conference, https://video.weibo.com/show?fid=1034:5144239160360980 I didnāt mind her outfit it looks nice, I just rmb seeing her fans and others make comments comparing everyoneās outfits lol and these were arranged by their own teams/agencies.
Iāve read the novel a couple times, happy to answer any q or did u want like a whole story summary?
later it is revealed that the person JBZ had killed had cheated and used backhanded means and was going to kill JBZ. that wasnāt the agreement when they had the match. JBZ realising this, had no choice to kill him. since it is an official match, itās normal to fight to the death and in this case if JBZ didnāt fight, he was the one who would die.
fast forward they go to one of the cities for the practice match. they formed a team of around 4. JBZ, MY and 2 others. rn they were at a disadvantage bc they never performed well and had never worked as a group. the other 2 members didnāt rlly trust JBZ, and JBZ didnāt rlly care to make an effort to work as a team. they were hit with the hard reality and the tournament that it wasnāt so easy. everyone else altho may not be as strong as them could work together. they found themselves being targeted often bc they would separate and thatās bad in these large scale mountain night time matches. the goal was to get to the top of the beam closest to the moon first and then longest. each whole team that makes it there together first and for enough time wins. everyone else is they get tapped on the back of the neck is automatically eliminated. some stuff happens, MY doesnāt hold back. itās reveals she has white pure Yuan power. shocked to find out itās Ming Xian!! stuff happens they get to the real six cities tournament theyāre fighting. then something happens Ming yi finds out her real dad is the eunuch subordinate of the empress that spared her life. but heās in danger. the empressās side has kidnapped him to lure Ming Yi and JBZ to Chaoyang city. they decide to go. btw JBZ and MY built trust on each other but arenāt rlly going out w each other. he loves her but she doesnāt kno if thatās rlly love. then the big reveal, when they get to the city, itās revealed JBZ is actually the emperor and empressās son. the son the empress always wanted. she was pleased to see him and expected him to be happy but he was not. he did not see these people as his family. he was abandoned as a child. the truth gets revealed
JBZ and MY were swapped at birth. well not rlly. basically as babies, MY was born with the brightest form of red meridians. this is super important hc it means theyāll be a very strong yuan fighter. her parents are distant relatives of the empress (theyāre from the same clan but not rlly related). JBZ was born from the Empress but without red meridians. The empress was shocked. she got her eunuch to find a baby with red meridians and that was actually his baby. but he didnāt tell her that was his child. he was forced to give Ming Yi to her. since this is xianxia they had a way to make her a man but she could always change back to a girl. While Ming Yi grew up in the palace, trained like a robot to be a fighter machine, JBZ was sent by the subordinate to a slave camp in Muxing City. he periodically would check up on how JBZ was doing. this was his punishment for the empress. if his daughter was fighting everyday to the death like a sword, then heād make the empressās son fight to the death in another way. at that slave camp the owners would force JBZ to eat poison, lots of poison and he slowly stated becoming immune to them. Ming Yi was also being poisoned by the empress. slowly each year, to control her but also so in the future when her second son is old enough to take over as heir she will disgard Ming Xian. and thatās exactly what she did. unfortunately for her, her second son was born with not any real fighting talent. he was also lazy and hot headed. at around the age of 10 or 14 JBZās red meridians appeared. he became stronger and stronger and fought his way out of the camp. red meridian and strong yuan power was uncommon in Muxing city, so he was taken in to be cultivated and trained. he slowly became one of the strongest. thatās why Ming Yi needed to go to JBZ to get the antidote. only he had one left.
after hearing this. JBZ said nothing. Ming Yi was worried that he would take it badly because well she was the reason he had to suffer so much as a child. bc she took his place. the emperor welcomed his real son JBZ and intended him to be his heir bc he was so strong he could win for Chaoyang but what they didnāt expect was JBZ had no intention to do so. he frankly did not care. he fought for Muxing city not for Chaoyang. they werenāt his parents. he had no parents. he was abandoned. these people are nothing to me, is what he thought to himself. but he had a reason for staying there and pretending to go along with it bc he still had justice to uphold.
in his childhood only one person cared about him. it was this last, she was a distant cousin of the concubine in Chaoyang city. she didnāt deserve to die. her husband killed her. he was angry. (I canāt rmb what ge did to resolve it but yeah he was not nice in Chaoyang lol)
then MY and JBZ and their team left for Cangxue or Feihua to hide bc Chaoyang was searching for them. they werenāt gonna let them go so easily. while there, it was quite cold and snowed a lot, but they were able to find refuge for a bit. however so many girls there were treated so badly to get married off that people who gave birth to girls would drown them for fear that they would be taken from them and lived as a way to make more children. eventually that city had more men then girls. JBZ and MY did Everythint they could to hide as many children into their home and eventually took them back to Muxing once they resolved things there.
later they had to have an war basically with Chaoyang city. JBZ and MY was in love, they lived and died together they were inseparable. unfortunately at that time Ming Yi didnāt know that JBZ had agreed to marry the princess in Muxing city to secure the army force to fight Chaoyang. he kept Ming Yi in the dark while she was preparing her wedding stuff expecting to marry him. for her marriage was sacred. one person for life. she would never accept someone already married. she was lied to. the whole time JBZ kept telling her āwhatever happens, you must trust meā. but the day came when she found out that he had gotten married. she has closed her heart. she felt embarrassed, betrayed and like a fool. how could she trust him? there was no turning back. he tried to explain to her, but she didnt care. it was over.
he became the emperor of all the six cities. while each city got to have their own āemperorā that would over see each of the cities, now there was a king above all and that was JBZ. MY was the queen/empress of Chaoyang city. she did everything she could to give back to the people and make sure they could survive. after all, she was raised there, and fought for them, Chaoyang is special in her heart, itās her city, her home.
since she had broken off with JBZ, and ruled Chaoyang she decided to have a harem. why could men have so many women but women canāt do the same? she told them, if you can fight me and win then you can make the rules since you can, I will do what I want. sheās so badass!! š„š„
later it gets resolved.
MY and JBZ get married finally.
they have 2 children. a daughter and then a son.
the end. and some side stories of the children that I forgot lol
sorry that was kind of rushed but again, the second half will be changed in the drama bc they alr changed so much just from the trailers alone lol
