Boring cliches one after another, nothing…

Boring cliches one after another, nothing original in the plot based solely on lies and avoidable misunderstandings.Ji Bo Za won a tournament for a city that dearly needed the "blessed rain". Ming Yi's city had a luxury of reaping the rain's benefits for 7 years. No wonder JBZ cursed MY to stop her from taking it back. Ming Yi's story started with lies. She participated in every tournament under the guise of a man. Then, instead of confronting Ji like a true and honorable warrior, she continued with more lies. A lying, conniving FL does not appeal to me.I also think the cast is far from perfect for this drama. Hou Ming Hao looks much more delicate than Lu Yu Xiao. I bet she can pick him up and manhandle him just as easily. There is no chemistry between the characters no matter how many time HMH carries LYX around or touches her skin. This is a far cry from Fangs of Fortune. I am very disappointed, but I am going to continue watching and hope the drama will improve at some point.

Obligations fulfilled

The host and patriarch have history like Muyu and Changhe. Some disagreement was there, but was set aside so he could draw poison from patriarch. There is a debt remaining he said to deal with in next life. Muyu sees him off after being sure host wanted no further contact with patriarch. He gives Muyu the nest and Muyu gives to Wen clan. Seems healer will get the building she wanted. Muyu was moved by his team and assured him he would get them home with honor. He did not commit to becoming patriarch. Coin tosser Mu has framed Uncle for the murder and most believe it. This and Changhe claiming Xie kill has united both clans against Su clan. The Patriarch was thrown when he learned what host did. He takes a bit of time to mourn him. His grief is interrupted by finding out who healer is. This causes him wrath against the Uncle. Muyu interrupts. The Patriarch is once again shaken as he realizes Muyu followed and protected by loyalty, not death contract. This is also where we learn his sword training negated the contract and his father taught him loyalty was most important. Muyu asks for Changhe’s life as payment for his service. Patriarch then asks who should inherit Dormant Dragon sword. The name wasn’t revealed. The Mu’s have gone next level crazy with the casket request from Soul Reaper hall. It has not been completely opened yet, but it is clear a new level of hell will be cut loose when it is. It is not clear if Mu elder buys the lie of Uncle Zhe being his son’s murderer or not. Rabbit and Lianyue have a moment of cuteness where she demands to have her medicine fed to her. Changhe is surprised to hear Uncle Zhe has killed Mu champion rather than healer. He makes it clear it wasn’t under his orders, so Su clan still has no clue Zhe is healer’s father. Muyu has gone to Su clan to see the master and is challenged by the guard. They are making bets inside about how many strikes Muyu will give him before ending it. The story continues at a good pace as almost all want a new patriarch and few are willing to wait for him to die or pass it on himself.
