True. He prob misses his old self so he wanted to see another version of him that is carefree. But it's best to face reality I guess. But I do still struggle with the fact that the first one to like Wuyi is done thru Ji Ling's (physically) actions lol. In some way it felt like he was using him (tho I prefer Chi Wen's chemistry with her). But let's see if they bring up Ji Ling again for the answers to our questions.

Oooh okay u got me there. I'm gonna try accepting them as one now. I see even more now thst it's a good thing he did this even if it hurts a lot.

Thank u for sharing this. I can try to understand Chi Wen more thru ur perspective on this!

Yes. I also am aware of it. Just like Wuyi, I will also gradually learn to accept them both as one 😆

Thabk you for your perspective. I tried to look it in this way as well! Will gradually learn to accept they are one just like Wuyi herself. Thanks for your incites!

That's great to know. Glad there's plenty out there who may feel the same and that I'm not alone. I understand Chi Wen and the way he is now. But you're right. I hope I'm able to slowly feel better about this as the drama goes on.

Yes. I would personally say I prefer her chemistry with Chi Wen more. They make more of a fitting cp I think. Just can't help but feel sad thinking about Ji Ling - more on the Chi Wen side ig, if that makes sense - for the feelings he poured out to him. It made him feel more than just a puppet.

(I hope ppl don't come at me for this...)

I still can't help feeling sad thinking about Ji Ling. I know everyone says he and Chi Wen are the same person, but I can't see them as being just one after all the emotions Ji Ling poured out on ep 8. Not to mention the complicated feelings Wuyi has. Whenever she thinks of Ji Ling she cries. I feel quite sad for her. It's difficult to have these kind of feelings yk. Also we were first introduced to Ji Ling so naturally I miss my boy. I didn't expect they'd off him so early (I'm still hoping to see him again but I have no hope oof). I even miss his dynamic with Li Jie. Li Jie's bond with him vs Chi Wen are different, making it more difficult to not separate the two.

And yes, I know Chi Wen offing him is like getting rid of the past of himself he couldn't let go, but still... Ji Ling had emotions, and I can't ignore the sadness and feelings of betrayal he felt.

Tho I really love Chi Wen, I didn't like how cruel he was to Ji Ling in his last moments :(

Same. I finally saw them yesterday and hope to see more of these two and You Chi. They really have a fun and interesting dynamic with each other and with our weasel.

Agree that his chemistry with her is incredible! I was honestly nervous bc I didn't know what to expect, but they truly have been delivering! I'd also like to add that TJR has insane chemistry with HMH! Not an actress but I just wanted to say it could work with an actor too! xD (I hope this doesn't get anyone mad either for me mentioning this)

Illusion arc (up to ep.11, so don't read if you don't want spoilers)!

Ji Ling / Chi Wen and Wuyi are so cute 😭 Maybe this is my fave styling for our Ruirui too! Now, Wuyi as Di Zhu. I feel like she is connected to her in some way. It is hinted back at when Shiguang told the story of her and Man Man to Wangyan, and Wangyan said that the dancing figure carving reminded her of Wuyi. Not only that, but she was able to use her powers upon entering the illusion unlike the rest. So there seems to be smth special about her here?

I am really happy to finally see the two Yanan characters meet! We've been theorizing if they are twins since filming days, and hmm... So we see that Yuan Wuhuo has a brother as well, and bc Li Jie lost his memories but rmrs he has a brother, there's a chance they are brothers but he doesn't know, so yeah 🫣 But let's see. I am excited to see how this unfolds... Can't wait to see them meet in the original tl too.

I can't believe Shiguang actually goes back to the time he was still a baby, like wow that shocked me. And he and Wangyan raising him tgt? This is on another level, I swear! 😆🫣 I have never seen a character raise the younger version of themselves skdjsjdsks and I found out they spent many many years tgt?? Oh, they are a true cp now! I can't wait to see them from now on as an actual cp aahhh!! And to think they'll go back to their original tl and become young again skdjskdks I love how they get to experience growing old tgt tho 🥹

I think all 5 entering the illusion makes me think that each character in some way had a connection to the past rather than randomly being transported into different spaces (or whatever you call it). Wuyi can use her own powers and is similar to Di Zhu in the way that she's a dancer (there could be more to it). There is also Shiguang with how he plays a role into his actual family in the past, taking care of his young self. And then there is Li Jie who we were told he has a brother (but most prob doesn't rmr what he looks like and such), and then we find out Yuan Wuhuo has a brother himself. So maybe, Li Jie is playing his past self that he can't rmr. Anyways, I look forward to seeing how this unfolds! (Maybe I better not get my expectations up high for this tho)

Omg can they also use a poster that includes Yanan? I've been sad since day one bc he's always been a main role, not a support... They only put the couples in the poster which kinda makes me sad lol.

Lol I commented about being hooked but then it wasn't as interesting as I continued to watch thru the entire thing. Still quite enjoyable but not as good imo compared to the praises and high ratings.

That's great! I'm so happy we're enjoying both cps now!!

I finished ep 5 and I'm starting to love them more 🤗

I'm not annoyed by Li Jie tbh. I actually felt bad for him for being there sksksks but that prob does include in the reasons why I'm not as into the ship. But I think it's mainly the deception of Lu Wuyi and the childlikeness and innocence of Ji Ling (which I'm not entirely a fond of - this kind of bond) that affects my liking of their relationship. I look forward to Long Shen tho lol. Poor boy (Ji Ling). And we'll surely see more of Li Jie in action! I can't wait!

True. It seems we'll get more of them later on for us to like them as a pairing more which makes me happy! And it seems there is more to their relationship than what we see so far.

Nah but (this is random) not You Chi LITERALLY being in Shiguang's pocket (pouch, but ykw I mean) 😂

Lol I think CDL and JZ will stay to be my fave ship in the drama too. I honestly felt this since the reuters so sksksksks. But I'm happy to know TJR and JJY's ship will get better! Looking forward to it!

I get u. FoF barely had it and I loved that. Tho I still love how they do it here bc we alr got FoF with that so I'm happy to have smth new yk.

I wasn't into the cp in FoF~ I really loved their banter b4 they became one. Yuanzhou and Yichen tho were on another level of chemistry. It's hard to not ship. The banter btw the characters in that drama was everything. The friendship was just so good.

But I think we're sure to get both cps in this drama. But I don't think romance will be the main focus. It would be interesting tho to get individual stories of the characters (expanding to the support roles)! I'd srsly love that!
