Yes, sorry I meant throughout the novel. We don't know what changes there'll be in the drama but there definitely will be changes as the novel is way too angsty. The ML is a black flag and the drama will tone that down to red flag most likely. Also scenes like sexual assault might be written off altogether, given how Cdrama industry is. I suggest waiting till the drama has finished airing 🙈

Okay, I'll spoil it for you. The FL is basically destroyed psychologically and physically after all her suffering throughout the drama, including a miscarriage. While the ML is fighting in war against the 2nd ML, she is imprisoned by the 2ML and also sexually assaulted by him after which she stabs him and he finally lets her go. She ends up saved by a girl who takes her with her hidden on a cart. While on the journey, she comes across the ML who has returned and is trying to find her but doesn't see her in the cart as she is hidden. This is the moment FL lets the ML go. Also, one more thing.. the ML ends up marrying another girl because of political and family pressure reasons, but he never loves her. However, hopefully it will be very different in the drama. The published drama synopsis says Yu and Pingjun actually marry and, after separating, eventually reunite years later and fight alongside one another. So while we will undoubtedly get a lot of suffering and tragedies, we might get a happy ending 🤞

I agree. I just hope they actually cut out the filler scenes instead of their couple scenes 🙏

Oh okay.. thank you for replying! It seems realistic, yes, but i'm glad they are changing it in the drama. I don't watch dramas for their realism.. i am kind of a sucker for one woman/one man for life relationships 🙈

If ml loved her so much, why did he date 2fl? Also, were they in a serious, intimate relationship or just the early stage when ml broke up with 2fl?

Did they date each other seriously in the novel? I thought the ml was in love with the fl.. how could he date someone else?

Tian Jianci is a great kisser. Ren Jialun is the anti-kissing actor lol

Thank you so much! I really didn't want to skip a Jesse Ren drama 😁

Can you please tell me if the FL is in an intimate relationship/marriage with the ML's brother? I can't handle shows where they show this trope 😭

The best short drama by far is A Familiar Stranger. I would also recommend Money is Coming and The Fallen Lady Returns. If you wanna watch something more modern (and spicy), Embrace in the Dark Night, Queen of Darkness, and Affinity are fun options (they all have the same FL actress).

In June, by all accounts.

I see.. then I guess this show would've benefitted from 40 eps.. i kept hoping they'd show some story after the wedding but was disappointed 😞

Oh, yes.. i also found that part a bit hard to digest. And the fact that his brother needed to counsel him before he went after He Yan to give him another chance was off. Like, he needed a green light from his brother before he decided he couldn't give up on the love of his life? At least they didn't drag this trope, and he should be grateful He Yan didn't take him to task for it and was literally so understanding!

That's exactly why I won't be watching Shadow Love any time soon. I need to recover and move on from the insane chemistry from LOFTG first! I absolutely adore Cheng Lei otherwise I might not be watching Shadow Love at all lol

The emperor from Love Like the Galaxy was great too.. funny, understanding, and not emotionally and intellectually stunted like most emperors in Cdramas!

Did the novel explore their relationship post-marriage?

Sorry, in what way did they ruin ML's character?

Ok, so in the drama they made it seem like they have the same father, but in the novel they were cousins. So while it is not explicitly said they are step or half-siblings, it is implied

He is not blood-related to He Yan. He Yan and her mother joined the He household when she was three

In which episode did CZ find out that FL is General Feihong?
