Yes, it’s Liu Mao and Sheng Ming Ying.

Yes, there is a second couple.

So, the express is dropping overmorrow!

Yes, different time zones. But nevertheless, it has ended. Express episodes are available on WeTV.

So the breakup lasts for nine episodes?

The MDL countdown stops on the final airing day, so that’s no surprise, as it is the last day, after all. As for the news article, I have my doubts. It seems to refer only to the first 20 episodes rather than the entire series. In any case, I just hope they don’t leave the relationship in a muddle.

From what I understand, under Chinese judicial ethics and recusal rules, a judge’s close family members usually can’t practise as lawyers in the same court and that court’s territorial jurisdiction where the judge works, just to avoid any conflict of interest. So if he moves to a High Court, her ability to practise law in that province would get pretty restricted. That’s why they broke up, she didn’t want to give up her career, and he didn’t want to stop aiming higher. Even if he did, he worried it might feel like a ‘sacrifice’ and end up affecting their relationship later. The same thing happened when the ML’s friend moved to the High Court. His fiancée felt like it would cost her the career she’d worked so hard for.

What’s the ending? I haven’t read any comment regarding ending?

It’s pretty much confirmed. You can see the schedule calendar and you’ll see it written on the 8th of April.

Ehhh? He’s not supposed to remember her? Don’t tell me Si Mu erased herself from his memories?

It’s more than a bit, for sure. 👍

Expected brevity of the relationship makes me want to watch it after the drop of express than tonight. It feels disconcerting, as though a time bomb is ticking in the background even during the sweetest moments. ._.)

I expect them to be released tomorrow. The usual pattern is to drop a set of four episodes on the day when, following the regular release, four episodes would remain. So, fingers crossed.

Why not? Episode 24’s preview has released and I’m talking and hypothesising based on that. It’s not like I have special access to future episodes or have read the novel.

They’ll feed us the usual ‘she always wanted to be mortal’ justification.

Finally, Episode 24 takes us back to the mortal realm. The Void arc had its own charm, but I’ve been itching for some bloody battle scenes!

When it comes to the romance, I’m genuinely conflicted about whether they should end up together, and I find myself leaning towards no. It feels like a tragic setup, and I don’t want He Si Mu to give up everything in the name of love. If she does, the weight of that sacrifice might be too much, perhaps even overwhelming for Duan Xu… or maybe not. I just hope the story earns its happy ending, if it is so, that truly feels convincing, not just given.

Yan Ke has suffered a lot, lol.

I paused it at episode 12 to let more episodes build up. Now it’s the weekend, time to binge the episodes tonight! 🤭

Isn’t it released in full HD, just not on netflix?

I don’t think it’s misleading, because even in the preview of episode 22, she clearly says they broke up a long time ago. What I had dreaded has really happened. They’re going with the push-pull, angsty romance. At least, I hope it’ll be a happy ending.
