1ML's quest is virtuous. He wants to avenge his army and the people of Zhingzou, clean his reputation and stop the mastermind.
So, basically, whatever he does is for the greater good. To me he is not evil. He wears a "mask"
He is not a "joker" but more of a "batman"

@yarnie I was happy to see for once a FL wise in medecine without any fighting skills, thus any needles to throw right and left.
FL's only supepower was her intelligence and overall, she did very well.
Especially, avoiding being rape by Na Zhan.

I respect your opinion, but I don't like to watch the same trope of fighting FLs doctor that I have watched already.

@nightowl
Hankiz Omar was playing a cold and aloof princess.
In my views, she did it very well.
She had to be stiff, speaking firmly and have a lot of elegance.
To me she was magnificent in this role.

We are so used to cool and aloof Male Leads.
That we don't object anymore when we have one.
I like that, we could watch a cold and aloof princess, who is forced to fight against her own sex drive because of an aphodisiac.
This unexpectedly broke the ice between her and ML.
And I have liked to see their relationship slowly warming up.

Yes, It is like there was 2 dramas in 1. First part : 1ML and second part : 2ML.

I liked the drama but I don't like that, they try to make us like the serial killer and his sociopath girlfriend. With a lot of flashbacks and way too much screen time to make sure that we cry when he receives his well deserved punishment.
It is a little bit too manipulative.

Other point : Why is Ge Xin Wei so happy in a palace with a baby.
After she teamed up on killing spree with Ruo Wen?
I am sorry but, in my opinion, she deserved some punishment for Massui massacre and all the death and shenanigans she has taken part of.
They killed Ruo Wen's sidekicks, all of them. But they let her happy without any punishment. This is not fair in my views.
I have the impression, that becoming a city lord white washed her dark trashy past.

I was waiting to see him in a sageuk, good :)

I don't like those clichés when the sidekicks are crueller that their master.
Why is the General Yin's assistante Jiang Tu so cruel and mean to 1FL?
It is like she is the one in love with 1ML and not 2FL. o_O

1ML is more and more sweet and tender. I don't recognize the master of "shadow works" anymore (^_^)
I hope General Yin won't force him to marry her.

@chrisogb I agree with you. FL the best profesional but the worst girlfriend or wife. Her lack of trust often put her in predicament. FL was abducted and almost killed several times because of her sulking and daily bickering. Luckily Shen Du was wise and mature for the two of them.

The age gap did not disturb me because I did not notice it before being told about it. What disturbed me, was the lack of chemistry on FL's part. Not sure, if it has to do with her age.
Luckily, ML managed to hide her flaws. His cuddling and embrace was so sweet.
He made me believe in Shen Du's love for Yan Xing.
And overall I liked the drama.

Great that the story progresses out of the dream.

I noticed that also, but he still lost his life helping Yue Qin to seduce Mei Lin.

I think that, they gave SML a lot of screen time in the end, to make viewers forget that he is a serial killer and make them love him ,and just after that, make them cry.

The revenge, the hidden identity and the new comers in the consiracy are the intrigue.

What you said is totally true : The restaurant is in Fufang pavillion and 1ML spoke about Zinxiang towel.

But 1FL lives in Zinxiang pavillion not tower ( I guess it is pavillion?)
And 2ML lives in Fufang pavillion.

It might be a double language of the drama. Or a forshadowing.

FL was annoying but she always kept a good hear and help those in need everytime. So you should see that soon.

Oh sorry. You are right it is confusing. I think that I will stop using this abbreviation and use the complete word and copy paste it if needed because it is misleading. Or I will use 1ML instead of ML. That would be better.

Typo it is FL :)
Yes I love it too.

What if we are both right and there is a double message in this sentence.
That would be so cool.

This would make sense and you are right the restaurant is in Fufang pavillion.
But I rewatched the episodes to be sure. SML also livess in Funfang pavillion. And the beauties are hosted in Zinxiang.

On episode 1, the 100 beauties, are kept at a temporary pavillion after they arrive in great yan's palace, before being brought to Zhixiang ( pavillion/ tower, I don't know ?) .

And I think it is on episode 8. I saw Shumo leaving SML's residence : fufang pavillion, before going to the restaurant where he will be injured.

So I am confused. But I might be wrong and what you said it the pure truth.
Thank you for you answer.

I know.
There is no need the compare Shumo to a woman.
This has nothing to do with women, bossy or not bossy.

He is an average ML's disobedient sidekick who does bad things and/or thinks about bad things behind ML's back and gets to die because of it.

Example :
- "follow your heart" : ML's bodyguard dies for disobeying ML's order.
He had to finish the mission and leave, he didn't. ( character : Yao Qian Shu)

- "a journey to love" : ML's sick teammate dies for disobeying ML's order
He had to go somewhere, he didn't and rushed toward somewhere else.
( character : Yuan Lu)

- "Till the end of the moon" : ML asked his injured master to stay home, meanwhile he goes to barren abyss. He didn't listen and got killed.
( character : Zhao You)

Those are famous dramas and the list goes on.

Exactly. That's a pity, he will disappoint FL, maybe to the point of being her enemy. Tragic indeed.
