Living Tribunal

Actually, that was the scene where she learns who was responsible for her death from SRQ, and she was pretty shaken by it. It was a very good scene where she almost becomes lost until PWX comes to her. However, considering how the drama is cutting important scenes left and right, I don't think we will get justice for that scene.

I have the same doubts as you after watching the next episode's preview. Everything seems to be moving too fast, and at this rate, the story could end by episode 36. However, after reading your points, I agree that the makers might go with the idea that it was all a dream and there was no rebirth. I don't understand why the producers are so obsessed with SRQ, as if his actor is engaging in casting couch activities with them. They are increasing his scenes and reducing the lead's scenes, where they could truly outshine. They even changed the entire assassination scene and didn't include my favorite brothel scene, just to give SRQ more dignity. I think I'll stop watching now and wait for the series to end to decide if it's worth my time.

In the novel SRQ save her.

Use VPN because for me it's working.

He doesn't die in the novel but rather gets seriously injured.

This was translated by the OP here and has most of the chapters barring few.

I at least hope we get the slap scene, even if they change the whole vibe of the assassination scene, because I don't think viewers want more of the smug SRQ that we are getting right now.

Yes, I don't know why they are giving needless scenes to SRQ that serve no purpose to the story and just annoy the viewers, while cutting important scenes of the leads.

Watch it on Kisskh.

No, he wasn't castrated. But in the novel, he committed suicide due to his accidental fault in his whole clan's demise.

Wasn't PWX almost assassinated in the carriage, and SRQ couldn't take him to the Ministry of Justice in the novel? Or am I misremembering? In tomorrow's preview, we see PWX and SRQ conversing in jail, whereas in the novel, this happened on the road to the Ministry in the carriage. PWX was attacked, LR saved him, and then she slapped SRQ. Do you think the makers changed the whole situation? And do you think the slap will happen, or will the makers change that too?

Hey, fellow novel readers! Just one question for you all.

In the novel, it was spread by her half sister Hua Le.

That's good then, I'll watch it after TPR finishes airing. Yeah, the hairstyle is also my only gripe with it. It's my personal preference that girls look more beautiful with long hair than with short, but what can we do? I just hope the makers don't change the drama much from the novel.

Is ABAY going well? I read the novel when its adaptation was announced, but I am waiting for it to finish airing before I start watching. I read that the makers made Zeng Di more annoying in the drama.

Which loophole can you explain?

Oh, they didn't? What a missed opportunity. The makers could have included a scene like that to make their bond stronger.

So, did anyone who watched today's ep notice if they consummated on the boat or not?

Yes, I know about that since I read the novel. But in the drama, we see a lot of scenes where LR is awestruck by SRQ's eyes, which wasn't as common in the novel. I'm just waiting for the scene where she acts cold towards him and the scene where she slaps him.
