Do so at your own peril as you will be disappointed by what the scriptwriters have done with it. The characters in the novel are so rich and multi-layered and everyone’s actions have a clear motivation. Scriptwriters on the other hand have an obsession with simplifying everything (because they seem to think the audience are all idiots) changing people’s characters while keeping their actions the same. This very often means that things no longer make any sense and the answer to why everyone hates the FL will be ‘because the script says so’.
The one that came from a powerful family is the second male lead(Jing Chao). He's called the white prince and…
I meant Nirvana in Fire, not Love of Nirvana. The latter is shit unless you are a fan of Allen Ren. The wonderful screenwriters totally mangled the novel to make everyone except the ML look bad.

Yes, a number of viewers seem to crave silly romance and shy away from anything even remotely intellectual. No wonder the quality of dramas has steadily worsened in recent years. I wonder how Nirvana in Fire or The Rise of Phoenixes ever managed to become hits without any of this nonsense.

Hahaha, that would be a first for scriptwriters “fixing” the plot holes of a novel 🤣🤣🤣 They usually just take out any original elements to replace them by the usual old tropes that they think no drama can do without. Let’s play bingo if one of the following appears: - FL tripping (over her own feet) and ML catching her - A walk through the night market - Childhood sweethearts
Oh dear, they couldn’t have found an uglier ML if they had tried 😱 I normally don’t care too much for looks, but in these mini-dramas with limited plot and often even more limited acting skills, the eye candy is the main reason to watch. This one made me flinch every time the ML appeared on screen. The fact that they decided to turn this into yet another “I fell into a game while playing” nonsense story was the final nail in the coffin. Dropped.
Given who her agency is, probably never. They’ve just started producing their own short-length dramas and will cast her in such for as long as they can milk the market. These people have proven that they don’t give a shit about their actors’ careers, they only care about the money they can make. I feel sorry for any young actress/actor who falls into their clutches.
Not really to my mind. Once they get together there isn’t any doubt about their couple, but there is an obsessive 2nd ML who doesn’t take no for an answer.
Overall, this was a pretty good drama to watch. The one thing that irritated the hell out of me was Ren Min’s squeaky metallic voice. It felt like fingernails scratching on glass.
