Hi. I'm reading at the part where reborned Mo Ran chooses his weapon. The spirit Ji Baihua tells him " to yearn unwittingly breaks the willow branch" what does this mean? And then he turns into a black chess piece, what does this symbolizes? Thanks

Question for those who read the novel below. I'm reading it and don't understand one part.

Is the halt maybe due to editing? I read they used a picture of a Blackpink member in one of the episodes and had to issue an apology. Hopefully the halt is just because they are making sure no other issues with the next episodes. Or it could be they changed the schedule of when it airs. It also happens sometimes with some series...hoping for the best. The fact that 8 episodes are still on the app and not taken down I'm hoping is a good sign.

For those who have read Meatbun's other novel Remnants of Filth, is it worth reading or as good as Erha Husky and his White Car Shizun? I'm starting to read Erha and see that Remnants of Filth by the same author will be available in English so just wondering if I should pick it up or not. Tia.

Yes, while I would love for proper subs, I'm glad we still at least get auto translated. It's true for c-dramas, westerners are the minority audience, we need to accept that fact. For me I don't speak Mandarin so I rely on the subs. But I've watched enough dramas to be able to put things together even with bad subs. It's obvious that they released this very low key and I believe that is so it doesn't explode and cause trouble for any future cut version of BL adaptation to come out. As we have seen with Word of Honor explosion it caused a full ban on bl adaptations. I think the loosen rules only apply to the dramas that prob already permitted to air before the ban. I think those that didn't make the cut may be tbd. I'm just happy this even got release. A reminder to fans if we want to see other adaptations to keep supporting but don't cause attention. I believe the bl adaptations that were already in the making have a good amt of followers so they don't need to do promotions for fans to find the series and watch.

Oh I think they would be cute together. I hope that becomes true.

I hope his dramas will still be able to air. Was looking forward to seeing him in Kunning Palace...

Yes! I love his character too! His expressions are really funny. I laugh evey time. I wonder if he will have a love stoey of his own in the series...

For those who have read the novel, is it a happy ending?

I don't think he would get cancelled for this. It's not like he did anything illegal. He just like any other human being. Dating and intimacy go together. I don't understand why this is viewed as something negative. It's his own private matter and personally I view the paparazzi exposing it should get sued for using photos without consent.

It's available on Viki

Yeah, at first I got confused, but since I know this was shelved for awhile I understood that maybe they had to cut some scenes to air. I'm just happy we get to see it. Even though they had to cut some scenes, I think they did their best to not make it too confusing to still follow along the story.

I feel there is more bromance between Wang Yan and Lan Jue. Wonder if anyone is feeling the same? Wang Yan is so protective of Lan Jue whenever he needs it. I love it when they show Lan Jue with his hair down. Looks so nice. I also noticed some scenes were cut maybe due to censorship? Like when Zhang Ping's arm got injured. It was wrapped up a few mintues later but they didn't show the part of who wrapped his arm. And then all of a sudden one scene Wang Yan was ok and then he was poisoned. I think even though it was bromance they prob had to tone it down considering the tight censorship around bls nowadays over there.

I want a spin off of Wushang's story and Dark River sect! My favorite character in the series would have to be Tang Lian though.

@christinatina- Haha. I totally get it.

It's good so far. Reminds me of Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty but better visuals. I find it more captivating.

I agree, if fans stay rational and just enjoy the drama like any other dramas it will help. I think what got BL adaptations in trouble was because WoH exploded and fans were getting too crazy. Also companies were producing too many BL adaptations at same time. Everyone was competing to film one. With censorship, most BLs end up being bromance anyways on screen so I hope they will change their minds and let at least some of the series air. I'm actually really waiting for all 3 of the above you mentioned but also Eternal Faith aka Heaven Official Blessing. Thank goodness the books of these series have gotten translated into English so I can still enjoy the story even if I can't see the live adaptations. But crossing fingers.

Thanks

I am seeing this a lot in the comments. Which series is TTEOTM?

Oh, that's good to know. Thanks
