I haven't read the novel either (yet), but from what I've read from the description & reviews, in the novel, the protagonist has a degenerative disease (that's also the case in the drama, it's briefly mentioned on the 1st episode), he dies, and transmigrates (transmigration: inhabiting an existing person's body after migrating across worlds, unlike actual reincarnation in which the character is literally born again) into the body of an infant during an assassination attempt.

In the drama, they used the plot of the man at the start writing a story about such a character, as a clever ploy to merge modern ideas into ancient Chinese culture (which is, conveniently, both one of the main overarching themes of the novel and one of the reasons for the Chinese government's ban on time travel tropes on tv, so as not to "pollute" their imposed narrative on historical China and the consequences of it into the modern era and into the current regime), and we're conveniently watching his story unfold.

Yeah that was the way around the censorship.

(I won't even mention The Untamed, because for me (Lan WangJi/Wei WuXian) it's Romance, not Bromance -- though the bromance between the Actual brothers (ok, adopted brothers) Wei WuXian & Jiang Cheng is great too (and heartbreaking)..

It's not him, just some lookalike, but still omg :D https://twitter.com/yilingscutie/status/1200309834589069313/photo/1

I don't know who made this, but OMG!! https://twitter.com/ErebusLight/status/1200467956637061120

This is one of the very rare cases that the novel will not spoil the show! In fact, it will make it even better, and you'll be able to appreciate the hidden nuances, and the way the creators got around the censorship without disrespecting the source material, even more!!!

Jiang Cheng is my favourite character (besides WangXian couple), I love his flaws, they make him so humane, and the fact that he remained alone (in canon) breaks me every time!! At the very least he had his nephew... :((((

He's so crazy, I love him, rofl!!!

Wow! He actually looks better with glasses!!

Woohoo!!! At last!!!! Thanks for the heads up!! :)

I was watching (and rewatching) this cover & I fell in love with WuJi again (not that I ever fell out of love with it, anyway):

Wow, they just informed us from the Sword Dynasty volunteer team on Viki that this one has been licenced as a Viki Pass exclusive title & the expected start date is SOME TIME THIS WEEK!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!! :)

This is the most anticipated wuxia drama for me. I was really hooked with the trailer. Why did they have to ditch the air date? Any news, anyone??

Thank you!! I actually started watching on Netflix after all. The subs seems fine, though maybe not... specific enough? (Though I don't know Chinese so I can't really compare)

Oh, stop, I should really stop watching crack videos!! :D

Ok, my dirty dirty mind, first time I'm lusting after Wang YiBo is after this video you shared, and I used to see him as a cute baby younger brother (I mean he IS 9 years younger than me :3 ), am I loosing my sanity??

It's here for non-vips as well: https://wetv.vip/play?cid=esdh9b2bx9gav0x&language=en&vid=c0032b6z6an but I think there's no English subs

Anyone can comment on the eng sub quality on iQiyi vs Netflix, cause I really wanna start this but haven't decided on where?

Haha not really adult content but anyway, Xiao Zhan!! :D I can imagine Lan Zhan stumbling into his Wei Ying in this & having a nosebleed!! :'D
Btw, I recently got a new twitter for fangirling etc. & I can totally relate on it being a huge black hole!!

Charming Evil Smile lol! Who comes up with these names for competitions?? :'D
