Wait so it seems FL remembers what happens every time she dies and goes to the Nether Realm seeing that she remembers how many years she's managed to live each time, so is it just her first (or second) life as the Water Beast which she forgets?
The proxy Emperor is the perfect example of how a perfect ruler cannot be a perfect lover, he's everything a great ruler needs to be, and because of this, he cannot afford to be partial to satisfy HuaShu (not that I want her to be happy anyway), but he always protects her secretly
So the Phoenix Queen was the only one who saw the newborn Phoenix's appearance before she died in ep1, how did she not recognise her in ep4? Or did she just assume it was someone who looked exactly like her
Quite refreshing to say the least, it's interesting how the majority of the time is spent on ML's pov unlike many xianxia which focus on FL (at least up to ep2), interesting to see how this will develop
Sidenote, but I absolutely love the makeup look for FuLing, the way the lower lashes were placed so that it gives her eyes that droopy seductive look, omg perfection
After MM and CD I hope to see him in more costume dramas especially if there are fantasy elements.
The first time I saw him was as LWJ in TBOY (one of my all time favourite series), then most recently in MM, and I was blown away with his acting skills in these two series!!
Sooo why the hell didn't BaiJue read TianQi's memory stone thingie earlier??? I mean not that it would've changed anything, but at least TianQi wouldn't need to carry the burden by himself ..
Also I knew WuHuan wasn't gonna be anything good from the first time I saw her, I feel bad for the Emperor dude, married a black-hearted scheming person and doesn't have a clear enough mind to even know the number of lies he's been fed
Watching this in 2026, it really reminds me of the common trope used in the dramas in those times, there's always always that one crazy obsessive girl who wrecks everything because of her 'love' for ML
1st life time - ep 1 (haha)
2nd life time - ep 1-25
3rd life time - ep26 onwards
I'm basing this on FL's lifetimes, excluding her countless lifetimes during tribulation
