I know you want to support Cheng Yi, but let's do it in a way that would not embarrass ourselves and Cheng Yi! Let's continue creating positive discussions about the drama and not stoop to their level ❤️

The thing is he has already started treating this whole world as not just a novel. He has spent time living and interacting in this "novel" world. The characters are no longer just characters or "words in a novel" to him. They are alive and breathing and he has formed bonds with them. In the earlier episodes when he killed Fu TianYi, you can see he was quite shocked to see blood splattered at him and him actually killing someone. That was when he started to realise these "characters" are real. Also, when trying to protect Old Madame Wu, a lot of his Huanhua Sect disciples died protecting him, this was another moment that he felt emotions for these people who would otherwise just be "cannonfodders" in the novel.

Basically, he formed attachments to this world and the characters because he is currently living in it 😓

I would say it's worth a watch and especially so if you like Wuxia and action scenes. There's a number of mysteries going on in the drama now, but the main overall plot is about our MC's growth into a great, righteous hero for the country. For growth to happen, the journey that our MC will take is not easy, and there'll be many frustrating moments, be prepared for that! But overall, I'm invested in the drama, so I think it's worth a try!

Well I do get your view, but XQS is seriously blaming himself for this whole tragedy and he's feeling very helpless. Don't forget, he's also the author of the world he transmigrated him, whether in his XMM identity or XQS identity, he feels responsible for the tragedy. He won't be blaming others when he already hates himself for wrongfully trusting Liu Suifeng and also for killing Fu Tianyi, leading to the Power Gang to target his family.

Hmmm I don't think it is Chenzhou. I feel like someone as superior as him would not talk to scum like Kang Chuyu and standing so close to him. In his first appearance, everyone had to wait outside to talk to him, separated by a veil. But I could be wrong 🤷‍♀️

Regarding the immersing part, I think it's because (1) some people like his friends and mother look exactly the same as his friends and mother irl and (2) it seems like he had a realisation during the fight with Fu Tianyi that all these people infront of him are real, living people. I'm not exactly sure what the timeline (I might have missed it), but XMM as XQS also seemed to spent some time with his family and friends that he started treating them as his real family and friends, not just characters in a book.

I do agree with you on the part with the brothers. I felt it was so off, like Yiren is so confusing. Did he even like his brother at all, treat him as his younger brother at all? It would better to see him have some conflicting feelings regarding XQS, not just pure hatred...I feel like it's either a script or original novel problem.

Also, I also don't think the masked guy is Li Chenzhou. He's too high up and superior to speak to Kang Chuyu that scumbag?!

HAHAHA nasty little evils 🤣 But yes, I like that line of Tang Fang when she said she saved him from hell not for him to drag others to hell. Brother Feng is nothing but an enemy to her now.

Right?! I was speechless. That was such a cruel thing to say. I know that the brother is in grief and needs to vent, but still, what a terrible thing to say to your younger brother who's also in grief and blaming himself.

Honestly, I'm not surprised if they are partly at fault. They are definitely letting this hate campaign go on without giving him any protection. Rumours are that his contract is ending in 2026, they might also try to sabotage him joining another company due to all the negative publicity he's getting 🥲

Omg I knew it was going to be painful, but bruh, the brothers...I cannot 😭 The brothers blaming Qiushui, beating/kicking him and then abandoning him was so !@#£%@%!% Both brothers are bye-bye on my list.

The episode was so sad, but I actually broke out into a crazy laughter when White Phoenix saved Liu Suifeng. I was so shocked at the betrayals that I started laughing. I know that it is typical Wuxia trope to have many betrayals, but damn, Power Gang is really really strong. Li Chenzhou must be insanely powerful to get so many people to work under him.

As usual, Cheng Yi's crying scenes are realistic. It was an ugly, painful cry of a 16-18 year old youngest son who just lost his family and whole sect, felt so helpless, and did not want his remaining (terrible brothers) family to abandon him. I feel so bad for him 😭😭😭.

My only complains are that when he's crying and in grief, his two sworn brothers and Tang Fang are just standing there. I guess they did not know how to react and wanted to give him space, but I felt it was kind of weird to have them just standing there. Also, this director's angles are kind of weird in some scenes, the scene where Xiao Yiren punched XQS suddenly flashed so many different angles.

On the villains' side, Song Mingzhu is ruthless. She's crazy, I don't know how someone like her became so docile and loyal to Liu Suifeng. I don't know if she'll end up dying for Liu Suifeng in the end and if Lui Suifeng will even acknowledge her admiration for him...

I see, thanks for the explanation!

Regarding the "重启" or reset/restart part, I feel like it's somewhat like a game mechanism. XQS doesn't restart all over again, but revives because everything else is "saved" like a game. He can't go back to his OG starting point but to the nearest spawn? So rather than restart, it's more like revive.

As for Liu Suifeng saving him, it's probably the AI using this plot point to revive him, otherwise it'll be too random for XQS to just suddenly revive. This will destroy the novel's plot and the AI doesn't want that.

^I don't know if what I'm saying makes sense or not, but this is what I understood it to be. Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding something.

Hahahaha that's quite funny, but there may be some truth in it. CY takes acting seriously with every script he has, but I do think he doesn't have much choice in choosing scripts. His position in his company isn't very good actually, his company is known for overworking, not protecting, and restricting him 🥲. But still, it doesn't seem like CY dislikes this drama, he still has lots of fun, so I'll continue to support him too! And this drama is actually quite interesting so far imo!

What is wrong with you? Is this your first time in a fandom? There are good fans and bad fans, you think all your friends and fellow fans are 100% good? You make a generalising statement, but no, EVERY fandom has some bad apples, including your precious friends. Just ignore it and move on, because a majority of us are trying to discuss the plot.

But honestly, I remember you mentioning some last comment. But you keep repeatedly commenting again. That doesn't make sense because why would you visit this page like a hawk with nothing to do, even scrolling down for comments made hours ago, if you're not watching this drama or not even a fan of the actors here? I understand if this is your idol's drama's page or something, but this is NOT, so why do you keep lurking?

For your sanity, just ignore the bad comments, most of us are trying to spread positivity and discuss the plot.

Yess, I feel like bashing on looks is too much. I thought our society is trying to be better because it seems like a lot of people detest social media beauty standards, but it seems like the shallowness still largely exist. Personally, I love Cheng Yi's looks, personality, and acting. I understand if others do not share the same view as me, but there's no need to throw out mean, hateful comments. The anonymity of social media really exposes some people's true colours 🫠

HAHA I love their interactions in today's episodes. LSF tends to be stunned or speechless at XQS's antics. Although I know that LSF rescued XQS because of the hero token, but honestly, a life-saving pill is so valuable to "waste" it on your enemy hmmm or maybe it's because XQS saved his life before too.

Err probably not. Li Chenzhou is extremely devoted to his wife.

CY is actually a really good actor, his other dramas better showcase his acting abilities. Right now, he's styling is like this because his role is the youngest, spoiled son of his family. In terms of looks, everybody has their own preference, so I can't say anything, you're welcome to drop this drama if nothing about it interests you (not saying this in a bad way).

Haha yeapp I don't mind his crying too because it's exactly how it's supposed to be portrayed! In a situation like that, and the fact that his character is probably around 16-18 years old, ugly crying is totally normal.

I would recommend you wait for maybe 2 more days 😅
