I didn't like that Xia Ziyu was the final villain as well. They could have avoided that whole mini plot but I appreciate that the drama had no loose ends within the 1983 section. They concluded everyone's plot be it major or minor characters

See this makes sense. Costume dramas are fictional in first place and hence use transmigration and time travel effectively. Modern reality to a book or past and coming back to reality again can't use these as plot devices. Thanks for the explanation @ra111ster

Love Game in Eastern Fantasy and How Dare You were both cases of modern into a book. Any drama that starts with modern era transmigration is censored as a dream in the end. Dramas that use time travel or transmigration within the costume era survive I guess

Seems like a ADWAD type of ending, even though that ending where ML comes into reality was also a book. Probably like how the ML from Joseon era came to the future in The Tyrant's Royal Chef. Explicitly saying Zhou Cheng from the past will cause censor issues, for a country that is highly developed people commiting suicide over transmigration media is pitiful

Seems like transmigration and time travel rules only apply to modern dramas. Costume dramas use time travelling effectively. Story of the Kuning Palace and few others have a past and altered future don't they ?

Does the novel have something on this ? Did Zhou Cheng travel into the future or was it Zhou Cheng from the 2026 Xiaolan's timeline

Thanks for the heads up. Now, I can watch the end without worries

You should transfer this to the review section. These thoughts might reach many more people there

Is it a bad ending or what ? The comment section is full about it. I know censorship is strict with transmigration dramas and it all might be a dream at the end of the day. I'm at episode 32 and don't mind spoilers

But Xiaolan also says he doesn't exist in the future. Hope everything goes well for Xiaolan

Why do I get a feeling that Xiaolan's boyfriend in the future was also Zhou Cheng. Bro says the exact same words from that guy in the past

Xiaolan is forgetting both the past and the present... What's going on here, usually time travellers forget the past but it feels like Xiaolan is disappearing little by little 🤔

Is Xiaolan worried that staying with Zhou Cheng might cause him to end up in a even more dangerous situation. Zhou Cheng is underpaid in this relationship...

What's with Zhou Cheng being in accidents that kill/wound his co-passengers left and right ? At this point people might be start calling him a curse

He never questions her saying strange things from the very start. I'm only at episode 20 but I have an idea that he already doubts her far fatched abilities

I'm at EP18 and does Xiaolan using the knowledge from future make her forget things and get immersed into the reality from 1983 ?

The letter sent to Wei Yan was fake. Didn't they say she was already pregnant when came into the palace, that is why the emperor wanted to kill her during the palace fire.

So the consort who was in love with Wei Yan, she was pregnant before the palace fire right. Did her child die with her as well ?

Did Wei Yan come back to the capital instead of supporting the war to save his lover who was sent into the palace ?

Zheng being ruthless in EP37, Wei Yan was enjoying the whole show while being proud of his nephew 🤣
