Thinking to drop it

This drama has a large cast, and a few of them are my favorites—Shen Yue, Ding Yu Xi, and Zhang Ruo Nan. I’m more excited to see them than the main leads. However, I didn’t see much of them until episode 10. Shen Yue plays the female lead’s sister, so she has more screen time than the other two. I’m especially excited to see Shen Yue, Ding Yu Xi, and Zhang Ruo Nan on screen. I’m okay with Ding Yu Xi being paired with either of the two actresses, but I’d love to see more chemistry between him and Shen Yue.Since I couldn’t wait to find out, I looked at some drama posters and found that neither of the two actresses ends up with him. That really upset me. My interest has gone down, and I’m thinking about dropping the drama.

This seems to be her MO with him.😂 YeYuan lets her into JiuHuo’s chamber knowing it is forbidden and why. He pays for his mistake and HuaiZhu gets a brief look at the darker side of demon king. Their Golden Dawn relic has been in disarray and it seems demons are “processed” to create the gold materials for it. So it is not all peaceful regardless of appearances.
