Well, can't get everything. Am sure I missed lots of stuff but I am sure it will come up elsewhere.

Ah ok - that makes sense 👍

Lol I don’t remember seeing it - was in a long car ride to dinner when I wrote this and read yours.

Lol thankfully it was just a tiny role, like a small angry pimple.

I could hear you in my head as I wrote that phrase. You are my phrase whisperer! 😘

Lord Langya’s life was saved by Mengdi when they were children. So he never meant to fight him for the throne and gave it to him bc Mengdi wanted it. He lived a life surrounded by friends while Mengdi embarked on a lonely and paranoid journey. The eunuchs plotted out of self interest - they never asked what Lord Langya past and present wanted. They don’t deserve any sympathy.

There are hints from the beginning and throughout that he is not after the throne. His beloved inn with the river in front and the mountain behind intended to create the ambiance of a stop for a wanderer on a journey. His name Chuhe is I literally the river that divides Chu and Han during the warring states and represents the line between rival territories or lines on a chessboard.

Ty that is kind of you to say. I also miss @Wanderer I hear he is on a hiatus.

She has a tiny role and she doesn’t do anything important so if you want to skip her scenes you won’t lose anything.

Happy New Year! 身體健康，心想事成!

Prince Chi is No 7 so younger than Chuhe but he told Wuxin he is older than Wuxin. The dead prince is No9.

Not sure but Chong has to be 1-2 years older than Chuhe and Chi should be older than Wuxin but younger than Chuhe.

Love Never Fails, Liu Xueyi's xianxia is also heavily rumoured to drop this month but I am personally more sceptical because of Yuan Bingyan.

There are at least 3 xianxias that I know of coming this year - TTEOM, BFB and TLP. There are also a bunch of wuxias although they are not as imminent.

Yeah they followed the donghua for her styling unfortunately for her.

Indeed but that only works if the advertisers buy that marketing spin that they should invest in wulin slots bc LHY is hot. I do think that there are too many xianxias competing with each other at the moment and Wulin is not a xianxia.

The styling doesn’t suit her here, esp the bangs. She looks very beautiful in real life.

The writing is very good. I don't have much time so I am very selective about which books I read these days but I am going to look for the prequel and read it.

That LHY drama has been in cold storage and at this point is going to look kind of dated. Youku is planning to drop whichever one they sell out ad slots on first - I don't believe it has been fixed yet. Times are tough and that is just the way things work right now.

You are right of course but I was trying to avoid giving it all away.
