I am super late in asking this, but can someone explain the difference between a Marquis and a General? I am doing a rewatch and Xie Zheng said that a Marquis is a higher rank than a General. Is Marquis just a higher title, but his role in the army is the same as a General?

Do we know if this one will have a HE?

Yay!! I hope you like at least a few of them 💕 (Also Are You The One isn’t xianxia, that sentence of mine was confusing).

YES. The double standard! It was wild seeing people getting so so so excited about him getting hit, which is fecked up, but if the roles were reversed people would be LOSING THEIR MINDS.

Oh!!! oh I like this if this is true!

I looked through your completed list and a you’ve seen a bunch I would have recommended already. I didn’t see Wonderland of Love on there, which is a pretty good one. If you like xianxia then there is also Legend of Shen Li and Are You the One. Both of them are off to a slower start. LoSL takes several episodes to could the foundation of the leads. I ended up liking it a lot more than I expected. There is some secret keeping, but I don’t remember it being that bad (and I HATE misunderstandings and dragged out lying if it doesn’t make sense). AYTO also starts slow with a hidden identity trope and an amnesia plot and a ML who.. screws up 😂The leads in all of these are trained in the martial arts. I don’t remember if I saw Legend of the Female General on your list, but I did enjoy that one a lot when it aired too BUUUUUTTT I wouldn’t recommend that one unless you’re sure you won’t compare it to Pursuit of Jade 😂 UMMM also xianxia, but Moonlight Mystique has two capable leads and a GREAT second couple imo. OH OH OH there is also Shadow Love! Cheng Li ❤️ and the FL is a general. So yeah! I hope you find something!

Good! Too bad his hair is tied up tho 😭

I love the cold so it works for me lol 🙃

I feel totally the same. Fated Hearts was another GREAT example of two leads trained in the martial arts who are equal in both fighting and then saving / rescuing. If you haven’t seen it already I highly recommend it. XZ has literally been injured for half the show 😂🙄It’s too bad. There was no reason for them to skimp on the ML’s scenes like they did. :/

Yeah I’m about as west coast you can get - Alaska lol 😂

It airs at like 3 in the morning my time lol. Sadly, there are some nights when I can’t sleep and I watch 😂

FOR SURE.

It sounds good! maybe I won’t wait to watch tomorrows episode then 😬

💯agree with all of the above. It’s unbalanced and unequal, and it probably would have bothered me less if they didn’t try to sell the ML as a badass Marquis from the beginning. Like Legend of Shen Li for example, I LOVED, even though the ML was kinda domestic but had power. They never tried to sell him as a badass in the beginning, but it developed later.

Hmm. 🤔Interesting. Because to me reconciling doesn’t mean “I’m no longer mad at you”, but more like “I am not going to break up with you even if I am still hurt” lol

Before I provide recs do you have any preferences such as the type of ending, love triangles, etc?

WAIT. So it’s confirmed that they also reconcile tomorrow?????

Say it louder for those in the back! 🙌🏻

I wasn’t able to quite follow the flow of your post. I wish I knew the timeline of what to expect. They fight tomorrow, and then there is that clip of him saying to her “what do you mean we were never together?” and then she pulls her hand away from his. I am assuming that is also in tomorrow’s episode. So do they make up in Thursday’s episode in 28? And then others are saying that they break up again either Saturday or Sunday and then they’re back together in Monday’s episode. I dunno. I wish I had the timeline and the corresponding scenes. it’s hard not knowing what to expect, and all of these clips are going around and I’m like WHEN IS THAAAAATT

That’s what it looked like.
