Luminous Lotus

Lol. Btw, the page for sword god is finally up

I kinda guessed it when this mini drama started having a third ost. Didn't make sense with a presumably tiny budget

I'm grafeful "Sword God" hasn't gone down that route yet which it could easily do especially as a mini drama. I tried to watch "braving the famine with my wife" *shudders*

very true. my biggest disappointment was "the long march" based on my favorite manhua. I had to drop it by the 4th episode when it turned a beautiful one-on-one relationship into a love square.

www.novelupdates.com have links of Chinese and korean webnovels that are translated into English

isn't that very short? the novel is over 2000 chapters which is why I've been waiting forever for it to be fully translated

dang, me too! guess I could have saved my time. Anyway, it's very good so far

Her boyfriend got injured saving her but she still went into a coma which is where she experiences everything in the drama. After two months, the prince dies saving her and she woke up from her coma. Her boyfriend tells her she's been in a coma for 2 months and wanted to show her that he was finally a published author. He wasn't lying about working on his career before he proposes to her. Turns out he used their names for the main characters and the events in the book is just like her dream. So here you may start thinking "oh maybe this kind of ending isn't so bad". Just as her boyfriend proposes, some guy calls her name and we see a silhouette who may be the prince. THE END. Wow what a messed up ending. She should have either stayed in the book with Prince Mu Zhixi or go back to modern day Mu Zhixi in her reality. How would a fictional character even end up in her world?

The first 75 % was fine but then they started speeding up the plot and scene changes didn't make sense because there's nothing connecting them in the last quarter of the drama. Also, they screwed up the ending. It's like the director was like we'll give you both men so the audience should be happy but it was just crappy. See spoiler.

Weird how she's posted as Snow Kong even though her Chinese name literally means snow because her English name is Sherry. She probably picked Sherry because it sounds similar to her name Kong Xue'er

Grandma is her dad's mom which is why she was able to take Dou Zhao from her father. Since divorce was very hard to obtain back then and always required the man's approval either as a discarded wife or an amicable divorce, grandma just decided to live separate from grandpa kinda like in a legal separation. If I remember correctly, grandpa was a randy goat who forced himself on grandma's maid with his excuse being how he has to proliferate the family line. The uncle derided grandma's actions as taught by his dad and Dou Zhao's father just followed his older brother's lead. This is part of why her uncle later insist on the stepmom marrying in because she was pregnant.

It would be so cool if they actually adapted this. Cross my fingers no love triangle. I finished the novel with google translate after the first translator dropped it.

Time wasn't frozen. Jin Chen was just able to expand time in a bubble. So only Changshou and he were in this bubble. Less than one second passes in reality but he made it feel like 3,600 years (he can make it last up to 10,000 years) for the two of them by using up all his accumulated power. That's why they couldn't interact with anything outside this bubble. Yunxiao was able to sense it since they have a spiritual link.

Changshou ended up sacrificing his body and his freedom to bring peace. Yunxiao decided to rewind time to save him and do something similar herself. So now her body is imprisoned and she's probably dozing off. She left him with a lock of her hair infused with part of her soul prior to locking herself up. So now Changshou just have to clone her a body from the hair.

As for others, a couple important side characters died but the main cast survived.

Middle of the road ending. Not a happy ideal ending and not a tragic ending where the leads died or were separated forever. A little like an open ending but i wouldn't consider it leaving you hanging. If you want to know, i'll write it below as a spoiler.

Hang on. That makes it sound like she died. Bad things happen but it does not have a tragic ending!

Agreed. I think it wrapped up pretty decently

Ah, his fiefdom (Qizhou or whatever it's called) is in the north and one of the locations taken over by the neighboring country. He and his sister were on the run along with everyone else which is why they were like starving beggars. They finally made it to land being held by the northern army, Beifu army. The whole show is about the male lead wanting a northern expedition to retake their ancestral lands which has been eroded by war over the past 3 decades

At least her older son passed the exam to be a scholar so he won't have to go to war

Very true
