Same old, same old drama where the ML gets jealous whenever the FL interacts with the SML, while he has no one else in his life besides her. The FL can have multiple friendships and be all chummy with others, but the ML, despite being so outstanding, won’t even have a single female friend.
FL is unbelievably insensitive in Ep 18. Her relationship with ML isn’t even solid yet, but she completely ignores him for most of the episode while playing cupid for others. If she doesn’t want to acknowledge their relationship publicly, fine—but at least put in some effort and build it properly instead of wasting energy on other people. ML is the only one making an effort, opening up, and sharing his secrets, while FL is just lost in her own world of lies.
Why even be in a relationship if you can't handle the side effects? She’s unnecessarily hiding it and making ML uncomfortable in the process. It feels she is more in a relationship with Yu Shubo and Yu Chi than Su Yunchang.
It isn't serious and they're just friends. You should watch more episodes before judging
Bro, I don’t think you’re fully understanding my point. Maybe you’re right, and the makers did show a good friendship between the ML and SFL, like they did with the FL and SML, but that was most definitely after the main leads became a couple. The whole dynamic changes after that, so it feels different. What I was hoping for was to see that kind of friendship between the ML and SFL from the start, just like we saw with the FL and SML. But with most recent dramas, that’s just too much to ask for, so I was disappointed and just expressing my opinion. We saw so many jealous moments from the ML in this drama but there’s rarely any for the FL, which also kind of hampered my experience a bit.

I’m happy you didn’t find it serious, but at least respect my opinion too. I just want to ask you one question: why is this type of relationship, or as you call it friendship, only shown between the FL and SML and not between the ML and SFL? Why this hypocrisy in portraying it? And honestly, a love triangle literally means two guys loving a girl and vice versa, so I’m right in saying that.
Oh... I wanted to watch it because they said there wasn't a love triangle and I've liked YCE since Go go squid!,…
I’d say the drama is worth watching for the way the leads interact and the overall positive vibe. But the problem is the hypocrisy of the makers—they go out of their way to create these overly affectionate moments between the FL and SML, making them all chummy-chummy. Yet when it comes to the ML and SFL, he doesn’t even spare her a glance, and she’s the only one pining after him with zero mutual interaction.
Who said this drama doesn’t have a love triangle? The FL and SML spent 9-10 episodes chasing after each other and going on countless play dates, but somehow that doesn’t count? Meanwhile, compare how the ML handled the SFL to how the FL handled the SML—you’ll see just how biased and unimaginative C-drama writers have become these days. And while the SML wasn’t the worst, stealing an artist’s hard work just to impress a girl is just plain wrong.
did xu qi an become forgotten in the novel as well or is that new to the drama? i saw people say there were differences…
He also became forgotten in the novel but that was for a very short time. This plot in the novel happens when he finally kills the Emperor and has a fight with his father which should have been the final ending in the drama but the makers changed it.
can someone who read the novel spoil me who are all the members of the special organisation with the cellphones…
1st is Elder Princess. 2nd is Winged Woman, 3rd is XQA, 4th is Chu Yuan Zhen who can is enemy with 2nd, 5th is the monk who we saw taking revenge in the story, 6th is a senior of Winged Woman from her sect who we will know later in the story, 7th is a girl from Insect caln who later becomes the master of XQA's younger sister and lives with them, 8th is a hidden card/monk from Tianyu Clan whose father is Shen Yu whose hand was sealed in the palace. He is a very powerful monk and later helps XQA in very important situations. and 9th is Jin Lan who gave the artifact to XQA. These are all from the novel so I'm not sure how they are going to change it in the drama.
