Ep.9... I 'm really confused which love story this drama depicts lol Because we see more of Rong Qing's suffering of one-sided love, that it's overshadowing the leads "romance". I start to feel really bad for him...
It was kinda distasteful of Wen Xuan to pick him as his "best man" to pick her up during their wedding.

Li Rong's emotions seem more palpable. You can see she has lingering feelings. There's a clear sense of longing from her side.


However, Wen Xuan seems indifferent. While his thoughts are supposedly caring, his demeanor doesn't reflect that.

The only time I sensed any longing from him was when he first saw her after they traveled back in time.

Also he never admitted that he liked her back then, because of his dignity to not surrender the royal power?! 


Well… sorry, but red flag moves. Back then he also didn’t care to explain what happened with Zhen, because she clearly was not his lover. He is too hard to read so far...

Even Rong Qing gets more scenes showing his growing affection for her and romantic tension, backed up with beautiful angles, music, slow-motion and dreamy eyes lol 



Where's the tension between the leads? It feels like missed potential so far. 


Also they’ve both admitted their past feelings and resolved most misunderstandings, so I’m not sure what to expect from the next 30 episodes in romance section… I guess them falling in love again? But I hope it’s better than the last 10 episodes, because I don’t feel it 😭💔

So, just binge-watched 7 episodes… and I’m not so sure if I like it.
It’s definitely keeping my interest, but I think I was expecting more? idk...

I think, what kinda irks me and left me disappointed is the lack of emotional depth between the leads… Given their backstory, the writers could have created intense angst, tension and longing between them, but honestly? ... I don’t feel it.

More of my thoughts in spoiler comment:

Thanks! Well... They don't look like that at all lol I would've preferred an older cast, but okay 😅

How old are they supposed to be in the first episode? In the synopsis it says "30 years into their marriage"... So aren't they supposed to be 48 years old?? Couldn't they cast older actors? ._. Or they not as old as it says in the synopsis?

Oh... okay thx 😅

Does someone know the PW for MkvDrama? It's not in their comment section anymore :(

Haha 😂 That scene was so poorly made, that I erased it from my memory lol

I believe the 🛌 ❤️ will be her shapeshifting while they sleep next to each other :D Because he said "Let me sleep with you" to see it in person lol

Sai Er: "Here, Mr. Shang. Try this. It may stink, but it tastes good."
Bie Li: "It's okay. I can't smell it."

HAHAHAHAHA 😂 They've really written the best counterpart for Bie Li 😂 Dog nose and no nose couple 😂

Tong Sai Er "manhandling" Shang Bie Li is hilarious 😂

I absolutely loved Nan Xing's counterbacks at Suo Luo's remarks about her being an orphan or the "marry-up" for commoners! Nan Xing is smart and witty. I hope she stays that way!

For real... like how did she expect Xinbai to find him with absolutely no information even though she had more clues to give?

Them finding out each other's secret was quite... anti-climatic. I'm not sure what I expected, maybe less comedy and more emotions sort of? None of them seemed visibly surprised. Nan Xing had her suspicions beforehand so I can understand her reaction. Also face blindness is not as unrealistic or uncommon,

However, Xin Bai's reaction to her shapeshifting was too "nonchalant" for me. He treated it as if she had merely changed her hairstyle or whatever lol... Even if it's due to his face-blindness, that he didn't have a big reaction to it. I still hoped for bit more emotions or hesitation, when he put one and one together.

Furthermore, her reaction could've been different to his easy acceptance of her shapeshifting. Imagine struggling with a secret your whole life and then someone accepts it right away after finding out... I don't know... Even if I'm not on best terms with that person, I would still feel a bit emotional or even thankful(?) for not being pushed away or seen as disgusting.

You know what I mean? Their discovery of each other's secrets could've been handled better in my opinion.

I believe so too...

ikr, her character is quite refreshing. She acts for her own agenda, even if it's for selfish gains. I think it's realistic.

Gosh... Ryan Cheng's character is incredibly annoying. As much as I love the actor, I don't enjoy his role here so far. His incessant screaming is annoying as well.
I hope he will have some character development and utilized more than just be the meddlesome tool in all of Jian Xinbai's investigations...

I'm the same as you. I'm not a big fan of Xianxia, but I like Wuxia. These are the only two Xianxia that I liked of all the many that I tried:

1. The Legend of Shen Li
2. Till the end of the Moon

I still always try new ones, because sometimes I find myself a gem like " The Legend of Shen Li". I also don't want to give up of Xianxia, because I really do love the world they create in it. But it's so hard to get into them haha Most of the time they remind me of 90s Animes, that I watched when I was a kid.

For Wuxia, user Badgal1995 already recommended a few, that I also liked. I would just add one to that "Lost you Forever" (Highly recommended!!) This one actually also has some Xianxia elements. It's a genre called Xuanhuan. But I'm not too familiar with the differences.

My gosh... this was so dreadful, draggy, frustrating... so repetitive and felt like one of these 90s Animes with all these cliché villains, action scenes and sacrifices lol I skipped a lot. Don't ask me, why I watched it through... I had a lot of time and I guess maybe there even was something that I like, but all the negatives just overshadow my opinion now. No, not my cup of tea at all.

tbh I'm in general not a big fan of Xianxia, so I'm not unbiased here. But this kind of drama is exactly the reason, why I'm not so into Xianxia... But here and there I find myself enjoying Xianxia sometimes, so I always give some a try. Because who knows, maybe I will love them, because I did so for a few others.

For a Xianxia lover this might be a gem. So just try it for yourself. For me, it was not it.

Them taking pictures together with their smudged lips lol
