yay 🥹 about time he gets a break

yup exactly this. what she always wanted was someone to rely on. it's just that after failing to find that someone multiple times, she became distrustful of others and lies to herself she doesn't need anybody as a defense mechanism. she's an unreliable character so i don't take her words too seriously

exactly!

ah what a relief... now i won't have to worry about pei yan's feelings haha

just a reminder for those losing hope...

cheng lei, zhou ye, and zhang miaoyi filmed an episode of the fairly new variety show 一见你就笑 (yi nian ni jiu xiao / smiling at first sight).

previously, the cast of filter (tan jianci, li landi, gao hanyu, huang sirui, and chang long) & the glory (chen duling and xin yunlai) appeared on this show.

looking forward to it <3

i needa rewatch this beautiful masterpiece again 😓

this drama gives me covid pandemic nostalgia

i still remember the first time i watched that scene. too funny that i burst out laughing and had to replay 🤣

you and me both ☹️

no cuz they didn't even try lmao 😭

story doesn't interest me; maybe a better trailer will change my mind. but i'll still try for yang zi <3

there's a love triangle?? oh noooo i like how pei yan is treating her so far 😭

ren jialun looks so handsome with that mask and side bangs hairstyle ahh

dropped this in october because the first 10 mins didnt hook me LMAO

but!! i like landi a lot more after watching filter, so here i am trying again

no love triangle. ML and FL are really only interested in each other.

the "catfish" (i assume that you mean FL's other identities like su miao) is a critical part of the story, so yes, skipping those episodes will mean missing out on 90% of the plot

oh yay! thank you for sharing <3

if i remember correctly, it's all because of him, nothing else

why is there a xiao yao x wen xiaoliu lmao

i'm surprised jing x fenglong and cang xuan x feng long isn't on there, and the fact that jing x lirong chang is ranked higher than xiao yao x feng long 🤣

[from Ch 51, translation by Koala's Playground]

The lead soldier said “This is not like any regular great victory! Nine Lives Xiang Liu is dead! You business people likely don’t know how powerful and vicious that Xiang Liu is…..”

Coming so out of the blue that she could not brace for it, Xiao Yao felt a piercing dagger stab her chest and her ears were ringing. The pain in her heart exploded and the wine cup in her hand dropped.

Jing worried cried out “Xiao Yao!”

Xiao Yao murmured “It can’t be! It’s impossible! He can’t be dead just like this! I didn’t feel anything, I can’t feel anything anymore……” She suddenly remembered that the Lover’s Bug was removed by the Royal Mother so she obviously can’t feel the connection anymore. Xiao Yao’s eyes rolled back into her head and she collapsed backward.

....

"One time he told me “Actually, to a General, the best ending is dying on the battlefield.” So he chose for himself the best ending!”

“But what bullshit best ending! He’s the stupidest idiot in this world! He stayed loyal and true to Gong Gong and all his soldier comrades but did he do himself right?”

“I’m the idiot actually! He never cared so why do I have to be so hurt. I don’t want to be feeling so much hurt………”

Xiao Yao kept talking and crying until gradually her words trailed off and she curled tightly in Jing’s arms and stared at the tall Phoenix Flower Tree. Blooms of red fell to the ground carried by the wind as if frames of each memory passing by, no matter how beautiful it would all pass with the wind.

Xiao Yao wearily closed her eyes “Jing, I want to leave!”

“Where shall we go?”

“To the ocean! The millions of miles of ocean and unending horizon, Xiang Liu said there were endless uninhabited and uncharted islands, perhaps we can find a beautiful island to call home.”

“Sure!”

....

The big bellied doll wasn’t of any practical use but Xiao Yao just thought it was so cute and holding it in her hands she liked it more and more. A big head, a big belly, it was wearing a round belly cover and had a pout on its lips, its smile so impish that Xiao Yao couldn’t help but burst out laughing in joy at it.

This was the first time Xiao Yao laughed in days and Jing let out a sigh of relief and said softly to Miao Pu “Please pack this smiling doll safely to bring.”
