Yeahh noo don't bother watching more honestly! It's just not that great of a drama unfortunately...

There was a scene where FL tried to take of mls clothes and there was a scene where ml was pointing his sword toward fl. These are the ones that came to mind but they also just made a new Lan Zhan with the ml or tried doing that.

This is the correct take haha and the practicing kissing scene? Hello

haven't finished it yet but agree with everything you said! My rating would be a 4,5 for now but probably a 5 in the end.

will we get another movie?

there is a novel?

Did anyone understand the scene where Bei Shan gets accused of being the rapist? Is he the rapist? That confused me so much 😅

Oh I so hope that we will get all of them!

also perhaps the BGMs? 🙊 they were so dreamy 😍

Does anyone know if we will get the bgms of this drama someday? 😭 they were just so beautiful and I cannot get over them!

The gaslighting with you never ends it seems 😂 but yeah you do you girl but really not a good sight tbh.

At its core, feminism is about dismantling the patriarchy, because only then can there be a world with equal rights, opportunities, and genuine free choice. Otherwise, it’s just ‘choice feminism.

Seems like you don't get it eventhough I said it before. My critique is not about her choices but about her being non-existent if not for TLC as a character. She is not his equal as a character and not as a love interest. I really do hope that you understand it now. Her so called choices revolve around the male lead ONLY!

Exactly! Finally someone who understands me. It's just such a pity cause Ashui could have had that treatment too especially if she is the love interest of TLC.

No dear, Feminism doesn’t fight for women to simply make free choices, its goal is to dismantle the patriarchy 🤗 hope this helps you more to understand 👍🏻

No dear, I associate independence with independence, but you’re not ready to hear that yet. Let’s just agree to disagree.

Ok you are 100% deflecting and minimizing my critique. You’re redirecting the conversation to the identity of critics, past fandom behavior, production constraints, or genre conventions instead of engaging with the actual issue which is weak writing. You’re framing my critique as "negative" or unfair, subtly tone-policing me and trying to discredit the argument rather than addressing it. I also noticed your repeated attempts to shade and imply things about me, it’s unnecessary and frankly childish. That’s exactly how underwritten female characters get dismissed instead of being properly critiqued.

Pointing out weak writing isn’t negativity, it’s necessary if we want better representation and more complex female characters in dramas. There’s no need to continue this conversation if criticism is going to be constantly redirected or personalized. Seems like someone likes Ashui as a character despite her flawed writing and cannot accept different opinions about her. Hope you have a good day still 😄

You are missing my point. My critique is about the bad writing itself, specifically how Ashui is written without independence from the male lead. XFT is independent, thinks for herself, and has her own motivations. Why should anyone even compare the two when they are so different from the start? Subtle hints, mysterious powers, or plot-driven abilities aren’t the same as real character development, and framing the story as male-centric doesn’t change the fact that the writing leaves her underdeveloped.

People are shying away from critiquing these issues, but it is necessary if we want better representation and more complex female characters in dramas.
But let's agree to disagree.

My critique is about her orbiting around TLC and not having real agency outside of him. It’s already episode 18, halfway through the drama, and there’s still no meaningful development for her. Personally, I would struggle to trust a story that hasn’t introduced a convincing female character by this point, but you do you.

And I am saying her "choices" and "motivations" revolve around TLC only 😄 that was what I was criticizing. Anyways I hope I will enjoy it too, thanks!

I think you are redirecting the conversation to context instead of addressing the actual issue. Explaining the system doesn’t change what it produces and ends up protecting the structure that keeps women underwritten. Criticism isn’t negativity; it is about calling out weak writing, which is still present here, not just for Ashui but for nearly every character besides Tang Lici. Let’s just call it by its name, it’s bad writing, no matter the genre 🤗
