If you haven’t tried it you should check out Deep Lurk. It’s a good story and Cheng Yi is really good in it.

Biological father. He dumped him and his mother so that he could be Tang clan head.

The emperor should be Gaozong who betrayed General Yue Fei (General Wu) by allowing Qin Hui (King Zhu/Kaiyan) to have him framed and executed, rather than supporting Yue Fei's strategy to recover lost lands from the Jurchen Jin empire (Beihuang). The Emperor's desire for peace through appeasement, rather than continued warfare, led him to accept the treaty that Qin Hui and his accomplices orchestrated, resulting in Yue Fei's downfall. One reason Gaozong appeased the Jurchens is he feared they would release his predecessor Emperor Qinzong (Crazy Yan?) from captivity, threatening his rule. This also explains the emperor's hostility towards LCZ (Crazy Yan's son in the original story).

There are many, many, many adaptations of Yue Fei's story, the most recent being blockbuster hit movie Full River Red.

As we are ending soon, just a reminder of the true (and wild) history the original wuxia was based on:

If you recall this is about that shameful time in history that the Song (Daxi) emperor ended up betraying Yue Fei (General Wu).

You mean his own father.

Ep 34: Since WOH, I haven't seen such a terrific 你不配 moment.👏👏👏

Kunning Palace is quite good. Dropped Princess Royal.

Ah you are right if only it is possible to love to reason.

to wash out the cringe of that AWKWARD come on to his sister! Omg! A new low even if he were not R....

I did not see that coming - Kaiyan made me take a scalding hot shower

I don't know if they died but I think they got sucked into the book world or AI or whatever that is.

Ok that part is absurd and I am just trying to ignore it. That’s why I think the screenwriter is a real dumb dumb. I mean how is a writer of wuxia fiction going to have access to state secrets?!?

Yes I think if you read the posts above we agreed that wasn’t LSF.

I think the fact that Cheng was still there after they sent the letter means he still exists and that is why he told Nian they will meet again. Its just that he is no longer Tang's adopted son just like Nian is no longer Xun's adopted daughter. The final scene suggests they may meet at a cafe with a mail box.

True, but many were also under LCZ's instructions.

Yes - misunderstandings that resulted in heinous actions and outcomes all around. In any case - I am quite sure this is just a prelude to them killing off LSF without making the audience angry about it.

I don't think Cheng is Tang's biological son. I believe she adopted him from the orphanage she volunteered at.

Ah yes, he does get a bit psycho about what happened to his family. But as it turns out, it could be that Baicao Valley was wrongly accused and executed by the righteous sects, led by the Xiao family.

Well we don't know for sure yet that he killed Deng. It is possible someone else, i.e., Tang Fang's cousins may be the culprits.
