I'm watching episode 6 and it looks like my wish that the relationship between the Emperor and Ying Yuan is similar to that of the Emperor and Bu Yi in LLTG is just wishful thinking. At this point I feel like the Emperor doesn't really care for him and is merely using him because of how powerful he is. I feel like he's one of the villains, with his whole "no love" thing. Also, the punishment for love is death. What kind of rule is that? Why do these immortals even stay in the heavenly realm where emotions are death? For some reason I also feel like Ji Dou Star Lord is a villain.

I also really dislike Zhi Xi. It's painful to be seen as the weaker one even though she has worked really hard to come so far, but she's clearly jealous and would rather listen to gossip and Ying Deng than trust her own sister. The way she was trying to encourage Yan Dan to do better in the beginning just all seems fake, because she clearly prefers her little sister being lazy and not overshadowing her. It's too bad that her envy has turned her into such a twisted person.

Ying Deng is despicable. Also, she's clearly in love with Ying Yuan, so why isn't she being punished??? She's not that subtle that people can just not notice.

Luckily, I like Yan Dan at this point. She's fun, sassy, silly and kind. Yang Zi is doing really well portraying this character with a multitude of expressions.

I also like Ying Yuan, weighed down by his responsibilities as he is, he's clearly a kind soul looking for a peaceful life. Cheng Yi is always good at subtle changes in expression, conveying so much.

Is this even real? If it is, I hope Bai Zhen is not really dead.

Oooooh. I hope it's as beautiful as the drama version.

One of the quotes from the fan meeting that I'll never forget: "There are no men like Dongfang Qing Cang out there, but there are men like Yun Zhong!"

It was funny and sad (cause it's true) at the same time plus Di Di delivering the second part with such conviction. It cracked me up.

I was actually surprised that not many people heard about this drama before it aired. It was one of the dramas that I was eagerly waiting for along with Immortal Samsara.

It's funny, but also a little scary just how much a drama can affect us.

By the time they start making this, the cast will probably change 300 times

It's too bad that based on the comments below, they want better known actors for the parts. It would be great to keep the actors from LBFAD. Are there any new names rumoured?

Looks like I'm not the only one. Good. Thanks for keeping me company 😊

My pathetic self just got excited because I found a leaf that I have been using as a bookmark for a couple of years and it kind of looks like Chidi's broken destiny book. What has this drama done to me???

Based on what happened in the drama, she didn't really let go of her XLH persona. She remembered everything and she still loved him, but chose to pretend like she didn't remember, because she realized what her destiny is. Her destiny was to fight the evil spirit and kill him while in the process sacrificing herself. She would have to die to protect the world and the person she loves. Having XLH die again would crush him, so she pretended like she was merely Xi Yun and that XLH is already gone.

As for the change in personality, you can see it as the difference between Chang Heng and Xiao Run. It's like Xi Yun was undergoing a different life as XLH and when that experience ended, her original personality returned. Just like Chang Heng returned to his original self after Xiao Run died. He still had the memories, but it didn't change his personality. He didn't suddenly turn into the carefree and bubbly Xiao Run. Also, neither really completely gave up the feelings they cultivated as their alternate personas. Xiao Run's friendship with Dongfang Qing Cang changed Chang Heng's perspective and Xi Yun was still in love with Dongfang Qing Cang, but accepted her destiny, because there's one more important person in the world that she wanted to protect.

Well, at least that's how I understood it.

Time has flown by so fast watching this drama. It's an absolute gem. Whoever is still hesitating, just give it a shot. I fell in love with this drama in the first episode. All the characters were brought to life superbly. Yu Shu Xin and Wang He Di were an absolute delight to watch. It was very clear that they completely embodied their characters and gave their all. The funny scenes are hilarious, the cute scenes are absolutely adorable and the sad scenes are heartbreaking. The production team also did a great job making this drama visually stunning, from costumes to sets to the CGI. As Di Di said in the fan meet, it's not really goodbye, because we can rewatch this drama whenever we want or need.

Thank you.

I'm really excited for this one after LBFAD. At the very least I expect this to be visually stunning. I admit, I would have preferred the same cast as LBFAD to keep me in the same universe and because what we got to see of the characters, however brief, was well acted, but both Yang Mi and Gong Jun have proven in the past they can embody their characters really well, so I don't expect any issues in the acting department. Can't wait!

If this actually comes out, I'm definitely going to watch it.

where did you read the novel?

I was also wondering what that was about

Agreed.

Just finished episode 34 and I already know this drama will be hard to let go of. Wang He Di did an amazing job. I remember when I watched Miss The Dragon and thought that he was fun to watch and did a good job portraying his character and only lacked a bit in emotional scenes. I know that a lot of people were not happy with his portrayal in Miss The Dragon, but I actually was in the minority that liked his performance (although that drama was overall a little disappointing). Here he was absolutely magnetic. He played his character perfectly. The adorable scenes, the sassy scenes, the scary scenes and the emotional scenes were all on point. This will definitely be one of the most unforgettable characters in Xianxia dramas ever. This is the first time that I'm seeing Yu Shu Xin in a drama and I must admit that I absolutely loved her performance. Whether she's the cute Orchid, the scary Dongfang Qing Cang or the detached Goddess Xi Yun, she played it all very convincingly. I haven't even finished this drama yet, but I know that I will definitely be rewatching it in the future.

I wouldn't call it love in either of the dramas, seeing as they both turned evil, which shows that they had absolutely no respect for her teachings or her choices. More like an obsession.
