The scene with Gongsun Yin we saw in the drama is from the side story chapters. Looks like it's the same setting as the novel as well. You mentioned you didn't finish the novel, hence you might have missed it.

You read the novel to some extent and yet are expecting war torn villages at this stage of the story? Opening of the novel is as cozy as it can get, exactly what we saw in the drama.

FCY adding washing only once for 'flavour' doesn't help either lmao

After seeing her action scenes in Moonlit Reunion, I was confident that TXW can pull off Fang Changyu in Zhu Yu as well, and really looking forward to the release. Glad it came out very well. Lots of great scenes to looking forward to, can't wait!

Probably ep6

She does carry ZLH by herself in one of the BTS a few months ago. She's strong lol.

I'm so happy that this adaptation came out so beautifully and with such quality. I loved the novel, and loving the drama so much as well. So far, it is exactly how I've imagined it while reading the novel!

Tian Xiwei was the first actress that came to my mind for Fang Changyu while reading the novel. She really got casted later, and she absolutely nailing this character in the drama. 😍 (Thank you so much the casting director 🙏)

Now that we've seen the drama, I'm looking forward to the later arcs of the story even more now because this drama is cooking!

Exactly my concern right now as well. And it's slated for 36 episodes? We are getting pretty choppy editing due to shorter episode count lately, especially in costume dramas. I really really hope the script writers can pull it off without compromising Shen Miao's scenes.

I like both actors, but I still think the casting could have been better. But since it's a done deal, I won't fuss it anymore.

yo~~ before judging anyone right or wrong, I would be fking furious if someone cockblock my 15+ years of effort and plan at the very last step lol 😂

The anger and sulking from Peiyi was very warranted.

Regardless of my previous comments, I actually like the costumes and styling.

I lost it at the warehouse scene. lol

"Don't give me tips. I wanna figure this out myself!"
(while the dude was poisoned and rolling on the floor) 🤣

The novel got me good ah....

The flashback in ep25 broke me... Inspector Du literally was her father figure. 😭

Dramas like Coroner's Diary, Melody of Golden Age, etc. fall into their own sub-genre, which features Romance as the main plot.

Unveil: Jade Wind is not the same as them. If the investigation stuffs are not your thing, may be difficult to get into.

Loved that Dai Luwa's character is yet another nutcase. It's Li Peiyi in a different format.. lol

"Find a high place with view.
Bury him facing the capital.
So he can see how I'll avenge him."

Definitely one of the most metal revenge oaths I've seen in a cdrama!

Grandpa.. you fking rock!!! And the opening theme song at Grandpa and Wu Siping's scene? That was cheff's kiss!

Yes, it was not revealed yet as far as I remember. But soon I guess, since we are getting into the main plot now.

If you mean the crown prince mentioned in ep20, it's the crown prince from 15 years ago, before the demise of Pei Yi's family.

For the current crown prince, yea, no mention so far.

My personal take is that Jadewind is more about the story behind each case, rather than the technicality of case solving. That's the biggest impression left on me after each case.
