I’m only on Ep6. Is this a romance because the FL seems too old for him?
This seems like clickbait to me. Romance makes up only about 2% of the drama. Every girl is attracted to him, but he is not interested in any of them. He experienced his first intimate encounter after being exposed to an aphrodisiac from a beast. To me, that doesn't seem very romantic. Additionally, this drama focuses on cultivation and his journey to become immortal.
Because they cut many scenes of her due to public backlash of not following the novel. They supposedly have many…
I understand your feelings about the resentment; I would be furious as well.
In Asia, where approximately 1.2 billion people speak Chinese, everything is closely scrutinized. Even if only 1% are fans of TV Dramas, that still amounts to 1.2 million people. This explains why actors and K-pop stars are so adored and why every aspect of their lives is reported in the media.
It's a sad reality that these actors and actresses often face harassment.
It's a harem. But Nangong Wang will be his only wife. He will have one platonic concubine though, according to…
I was a harem genre reviewer for ten years (I still have a blog), so I’m quite familiar with the genre. I often say that the mid-season generally corresponds to volume three and that the story should conclude when the protagonist escapes to the other world. Anyway, it’s no big deal. I just wanted to clarify that I’m not a newbie to harem, reverse harem and menages; I’ve also read the novel and watched the donghua as well. So I have a good understanding of this story. Thanks for the chat ;)
From my understanding, the issue here is that, she has suppressed her power to a low level which will certainly…
In another story about the yin-yang couple “thing”, they reached one or two cultivation levels. Here, it seems to be the reverse. I am not sure I understand either. Han Li seemed fine, but she did not.
If you have a member of your sect who goes around charming the pants off of every male and creature around to…
There are many inconsistencies in this novel, but they actually enhance the plot. She and the two girls in the Mo mansion couldn't stop talking. I believe the author had a stereotype in mind when creating those characters, didn't he? LOL
i am half way through and i am seriously loving this drama, but all i want is that it to be only one season. i…
I believe, like few others, that this series should have a total of three seasons. They reduced the number of episodes in the current season, which suggests they may have additional material (like background footage). Considering the millions of dollars invested in this long-term project over the past 10 years and its immense popularity on Youku, I think they will continue with it.
As for the story, we've only covered about one-third of it, so there’s plenty of material to fill in for two more seasons.
I understand the frustration of waiting for the next season. It took five years for "Joy of Life" and eight years for "Princess Agents." Although "Princess Agents" is in production, the fact that they are not using the original actors is disappointing.
There should be a regulation in China that limits the maximum delay between seasons to two years. This would allow enough time to build sets, film the actors, and complete post-production.
genuine question no harm intended, why are people obsessed with romance??
This story is not primarily about romance; it's about cultivation. It's the platform MDL that categorizes it as a romance. The main characters shouldn't actually be labeled as such—they should be considered secondary characters. Their designation as main roles arises from their popularity, not from the significance of their roles in the story.
C-dramas often incorporate more romance due to audience demand. However, while this story does feature some romantic moments, they are not the focal point. Just because a well-known actress is tagged as a main role, it doesn’t guarantee a happy ending.
As the drama is still half way through, we will see how much romance the scriptwriter has chosen to include.
Ngl after ep 15 I wanted to continue by reading the novel (cn ver) and I'm so utterly lost lmao (which chapter…
C-dramas are often inspired by novels, but they are never identical to the source material. In this particular drama, I find that while the essence and overall timeline are accurate, some details and characters differ significantly. Many events are altered as well. This isn't unique to this drama, so I understand why you might feel lost. Additionally, the English translation in the novel provided by AI doesn’t help clarify things.
Episode 15 is around volume 3 chapter 254. (keep in mind that the novel differs from drama and donghua)
Using an existing character avoids using screen time to explain who he is and the relationship he has with HL. This not only reduces the budget but also allows the scriptwriter to focus on other aspects.

Harem refers to sexual encounters rather than mere crushes or attractions. It also indicates a long-term relationship, rather than being just lovers. I meant that Chinese dramas typically avoid harem relationships compared to novels and donghua, and this is due to censorship.
This novel is indeed a harem. But the drama looks very much monogamous to me.
