coz allen didnt accept kiss scene haha if u see his other drama almost all kiss scene went wrong LOL
Don’t waste your time on me. I know perfectly well how Ren Jialun feels about kiss scenes. If it’s necessary for the script, he has no problem doing them.
I’m mad at the preview for episode 31. More specifically, the ending of it. Why did they add that shadow kiss scene? It’s like they showed you a delicious dish: you catch the smell, see how beautifully it’s served, your mouth is already watering, they even bring the food right to your lips… and then they still don’t let you taste it. Sigh…
What an episode — it completely shattered all expectations. A shifu who tortures his own disciple. ML who erased his own memories and left himself fabricated ones just to have at least something good in his past. Sect leaders calling their disciples “living pills.” A guy who forced his help onto a girl and now tries to shame her for it.
The only thing missing from this branch of chaos was “Father of the Year” (sarcasm).
So dude literally left his woman alone in that room despite knowing the danger around? He left the unconscious…
Let’s start from the very beginning. Lu Qianqiao isn’t planning to save anyone—neither his own kind nor humanity. Over 200 years, he tried living among humans and got very little good out of it. To break his curse, there are two paths: one is for the gods to lift it, but that’s impossible because the path to the gods has been destroyed and they themselves have disappeared. The other is to pass five trials and become human—but in that case, he would lose all his powers.
According to the story, we see that the protagonist doesn’t grow very attached to other people, because most of them see him only as a tool for gaining power. So whenever he can and feels it’s right, Lu helps people or immortals; when he doesn’t, he simply walks past. He also doesn’t want to remain the God of War demon forever—after 200 years of living like that, he’s tired of not sleeping, eating rotten food, not seeing colors, and constantly dealing with bouts of bloodlust.
Does any being have the right to want a simple, grounded life? Yes, they do.
Then Lu Qianqiao meets Xin Mei—not an ordinary girl, but a cultivator who is able to anchor him in this world and keep him from dying. She has her own desires too—to break her curse and be able to marry the one she loves. There’s no talk of feelings here—no love at first sight or anything like that. It’s purely a mutually beneficial arrangement. Later on, driven by her strong sense of justice, Xin Mei begins to seek revenge, and when the protagonist learns about it, he feels responsible for her, since she broke the rules of the sects and put herself in danger. That’s when their acquaintance truly begins and their slow rapprochement starts.
Even despite everything that follows, the protagonist does not intend to give up his dream. At the same time, he doesn’t rush his weakening or transformation into a human. At the peak of his current power, he protects those he has grown close to, but he doesn’t recklessly walk into traps or rush to save those who can defend themselves or those who are not currently in danger. He leaves the heroine because he knows she won’t be harmed—she is an important leverage point over him. As long as the sect needs the God of War demon, Xin Mei will live.
And again, Lu Qianqiao fights injustice and evil in the here and now, protects those dear to him, but he has no desire at this point to eradicate all evil in the universe or become humanity’s savior. He has seen humanity from all sides—both good and bad (just remember how his own disciple tried to kill him, and how he was driven away everywhere when he was a child), so he tries to keep his distance.
For me, it is exactly this kind of logic and minimal impulsiveness that is Lu Qianqiao’s most appealing trait.
On the one hand, I’m glad they gave us a bit of a breather before the finale of the series, but on the other hand—it all feels kind of bleak. They barely showed Lu Zhanying and Meishan before, in the next moment, the spokeswoman was already dead and the spokesman was behind bars. It feels like we’re supposed to be happy for the lotus guy, but the fact that he’s missing an arm just makes it depressing.
And Lu Qianqiao didn’t manage to protect Xin Mei. Even though they won’t kill or cripple her—because they understand she’s the only way to influence the God of War demon—it’s still upsetting. And again, the trailer doesn’t hint at anything good either. Ugh, the Chinese just can’t do without the angst.

I’m hoping for that too. It’s just a bit worrying that “big brother” still isn’t on set. After FCY, we’re only getting *The Abyss*, and then what?
Even though Ren Jialun is super active right now—like a spinning top, three music festivals in 10 days—I still want to see him back on set already. But he’s still so thin, it’s honestly upsetting(( No, actually… it’s better if he gets some rest.

I honestly don’t even know what to reply to you. At the moment, the drama’s popularity index on iQIYI peaked at around 7,200 (10,000 = a hit), and on Tencent Video it reached 24,000 today (30,000 = a hit). On Weibo the maximum was 8.5, and on other platforms it’s consistently ranking around 2nd–3rd place in popularity.
The project also received S+ status (a high-budget production), but the number of advertisers involved was surprisingly low for that level (brands only bought ads for the first 7–8 episodes).
Unlike *Love and Crown*, this drama is actively being promoted by Ren Jialun and the rest of the cast, but the platforms themselves have basically stepped back. If you compare the level of promotion (and the kind of tactics platforms were willing to use) for FCY versus the March drama, it’s clear that FCY’s promotion is being carried mostly by the main cast and their fanbases (with the largest being Ren Jialun’s). But unfortunately, that’s not enough.
I’m also kind of dreading the rating on Douban.
Last year, when TDHR stopped at around 9,650 on iQIYI’s popularity index (if I remember correctly), some producers started saying that Ren Jialun was no longer a top actor and that it was time for him to step aside. But TDHR ended up having the highest internal rating on iQIYI for the entire year — 9.0 — and also got a 7.6 on Douban, so that shut everyone up.
But with FCY, it’s more complicated — the story isn’t just centered around romance, it has a lot of deeper themes and philosophy, and on top of that, it’s xianxia, which is one of the most cliché-heavy genres.
In short, yes. But whether it’s permanent is unclear. Where I read about it, they only explained the reason and a bit of the process, but not what will happen next.

The script is really good—of course not without plot holes—but we haven’t even seen the whole series yet. That’s why the ratings here and in China are disappointing to me.
And it’s not just about nice numbers—an actor’s demand really depends on ratings. That’s why I want the work of all the actors and the production team to be properly appreciated, not judged only through the lens of romance/chemistry/kisses.
Actually this page picture show tht he eventually became tht, the costume hv tht demon element
Yes, but the poster was there from the very beginning, while in the series the protagonist keeps saying he doesn’t want to be a demon warrior and wants to be human. That’s why I was interested in the reason he will change his mind and how exactly his metamorphosis will happen.
How did positive comments turn into a wave of hatred toward the heroines? A’Sheng is her father’s daughter, and on top of that she was forced to survive in conditions where any of us would have simply died or lost our sanity. Do you seriously think that a person who has gone through something like that would be gentle, sweet, and caring toward everyone she meets?
A’Sheng made it clear to Jin Lun from the very beginning that he meant nothing to her and that she would use him at the first opportunity. Did anyone really expect such a character to shed tears? For someone she repeatedly drove away and warned about her attitude toward him?
As for Lu Qianqiao and A’Sheng — it’s just simple jealousy. Plenty of younger siblings get jealous of their older ones and their partners. It would have been strange if that hadn’t happened, if A’Sheng had told her sister: “Oh, I’m so happy you’ll leave us and our master and go off with some strange guy who deceived you and erased your memory, into the beyond.” That kind of reaction would not match what we were shown in earlier episodes. There’s also the possibility that her father somehow possessed A’Sheng / is influencing her or has taken on her appearance.
It’s unpleasant to read the attacks against Wang Herun. She did an excellent job portraying her character — you believe her when she’s angry or furious, and also when she’s soft and gentle. The actress is also very beautiful and stands out among the others with her sincerity or something like that.
The latest episodes feel like an island of calm, where the characters were finally able to talk and figure out their plans for the future. I like how Lu Qianqiao tries to explain to the heroine that he will become an ordinary person, while she doesn’t think about that because she’s worried about how he will survive the blood and heart replacement. She has already decided everything for herself — with whom and how she will spend her life. And it’s nice to watch their hugs and hear her say, “don’t drink too much wine.”
I adore Lin Muhan and Meishan Jun — they’re funny and adorable.
Ep 19-20: When LQQ argued with XM, he only kept on asking what she wanted him to do. Because he couldn't say what…
I think LQQ understood her feelings perfectly, but the past cannot be changed, their experiences cannot be undone, and the dead cannot be brought back to life. From his side, he had no way to help the heroine ease her pain, because for her he embodied the most terrible thing in her life. The only thing he could do was become the person she would kill in order to take her revenge.
But even in her grief, she couldn’t do it, because he had never (during the time they knew each other) been like those demon warriors that Lin Hei once fought against. Even though she was overwhelmed by pain and sorrow, she could see that LQQ was not someone she should take revenge on.
Both actors portrayed this scene wonderfully — she was expressive, letting her emotions run free, while he was restrained and profound.
Ahh... I am truly not getting it..all the reviews below are very positive and encouraging.. then how come it's…
Take a look at how many people have rated the episodes — only 13–40 viewers. On the other hand, I personally don’t rate a series until I’ve finished watching it completely, so I can fully evaluate the plot and the actors’ performances.
As for me, I can say that I rate each episode after watching it.
I absolutely loved today’s episodes. The amnesia arc has ended, we got a glimpse of the male lead’s mother (even if only in his delusion), and we learned that Xin Mei is not a delicate flower, but someone who fought against the War Demons, losing loved ones along the way. They also showed that Jin Lin has lost his mind so much because of A’Shen that it’s noticeable to others as well. It’s clear now that, no matter what she says, the heroine is already jealous of her “husband,” even though not long ago she was pointing a sword at him. There’s so much happening that you really have to keep up to not lose the thread of the story.
I honestly can’t wait for the next episodes, where (judging by the trailers) the main characters will finally start working together. And that moment with Qianqiao, when he touched her lips to draw the sun—it was so unexpected and… sensual.
Before I voice my opinion, I ask myself: why do I need this? To have a discussion? To find like-minded people? Do I feel the need to speak out and can’t/won’t hold back? So I’m curious: why did you decide to write your post?
If you don’t like it — drop it. If you like it — watch it. If you’re undecided — keep watching. None of our words will change what has already been filmed. That’s how the director and the screenwriter chose to tell this story. That’s their vision. I personally really like their vision, and I don’t care who ships whom with whom. I follow the story and enjoy what I see.
I’m tired of the same old love stories driven by forced jealousy, contrived misunderstandings, or unnecessary love triangles. Here, I see a gradual development of feelings between characters who didn’t fall in love at first sight, weren’t enemies, didn’t mistreat each other, and didn’t plan to be in a relationship. Fate just keeps bringing them together again and again, so they’re forced to communicate and interact. I can guess where it’s heading, and I like the path the characters are taking.
