Ah sorry. I thought you say, Shen Shu is the girl  😂. So. the girl you referring is Mu Nian Zhi. Sorry got confused  😂

You're really got  confused. The girl I referenced is the Nine-Tail Celestial Fox.

By the way, he'll finally married Lin An. She is his future  official wife. Mu Nian Zhi is just his concubine in the novel. And surprise! In the novel he got a harem. 🤣

The main reason I never connected with Linan in the drama is mainly because of Xu Qi An in the novels.

He esp. married her in the novels because the poor girl was left without a mother, brother with the sister she never got along with becoming the Empress. The marriage was the least he could offer to her for protection.

After handling affairs, he left with Mu Nanzi to travel the world as he had promised her. Yes the novel is harem style, so the guy was essentially having a baby with every woman who could have it!😂😂😂

I mean like his official Dao partner is the Human Sect Leader.

The Nine tail fox likes strong men so her having his baby was not that surprising. FuXiang( the brothel fox) was happy whenever he remembered her but she was mainly working for the the celestial fox.

The Empress is probably going to live a long life as she is a cultivator and she needed an heir. I understand her situation as well - who else was she going to have a baby with? Every other man in the story is so mediocre compared to Xu Qi An.

I am not going to mention the random women he meets here and there.

Out of the above ladies, they are not going to portray the Human Sect leader & FuXiang as romantic interests for sure!

Please let me know if there are any other possibilities for the drama.

Mu Nanzi is interesting character as the actress playing her is shown to be older looking than ML (as was the effect of the beads in the novel too). So they might just cast someone younger looking in s2 with no break in continuity to fit her actual age.

Her actual form (a tree) is an identity shown to be as old as the Heaven Dao in the books...much older than most things. She keeps reincarnating as all her lives are cut short by greedy humans who want her power to further their cultivation. This life is the only one where she will live a long life as Xu Qi An is her protector!

Khushi20_10, I believe they can change the story of Nine-Tailed Fox and Shen Shu for the drama script. Xu Qi An once said that Fox is his friend, right? Ok. 

It is possible that the scriptwriter will change Shen Shu's story and the Nine-Tailed Fox in the drama will be his beloved. Xu Qi An even may roll in love to the Fox during their trip, but  finally it all will be flirtation and comedy. Because the relationship line: Xu Qi An vs Nine-Tailed Fox was like a funny teasing competition from the early beginning.

Unlike you, I was very surprised by Fox's pregnancy at the final of the novel. It looked as if the Fox had lost hope of finding her relatives. And took advantage of the strongest option available. Very sad. 

I would really like a change. 

Teasing the inhabitants of Xu Qi An's chicken coop would be possible even if Fox will be pregnant by Shen Shu. Even much more funny.

I also think that the drama will not touch upon the subject of Xu Qi An's illegitimate child. I think the writer will limit himself to the story of the hidden rivalry between the sisters and the eldest princess's secret love, which will eventually be known to Xu Qi An.

Yagyaseni , I really hope we get a s2...

Like you said some of the females in the story are soo cool but it feels like they end up settling for the ML because no one else gets to shine!

I would be really happy if they go acc. to your analysis because Shenshu also deserves love. I really loved him in the novel, also in the drama.

I think I found the other one reason why the fox can be Shen Shu's girlfriend in the drama. I think the author of the novel is a selfish person who didn't want Xu Qi An to experience true loneliness. After he became the god of war, his body changed greatly. He can live for a very long time until his ability to store energy runs out. But all the female characters except for the fox are short-lived creatures. Even Mu Nian Zi is a mortal reincarnation of an immortal being. Only the fox, being a direct descendant of the supreme primordial demons, the QinQiu foxes, is originally a long-lived creature. So are her descendants. I think the author prudently provided Xu Qi An with a family that will stay with him for a long time. But for the drama, there is no need for that: Dafeng is a game world. The game will end, Yang Lin will return.

That makes a lot of sense.. I keep forgetting they made it into a game world set up.

Then I guess Linan will keep being the FL as ML in his real world dated the Linan of real world...

Novel was definitely more male fantasy land as the harem situation served no one else other than Xu Qi An😒😒🤷‍♀️

Marrying a girl to give her protection is in line with Xu Qi An's character in the drama. But it sounds as self-sacrifice. 

Like you, I also think that Mu Nian Zi will be a very cherished person for Xu Qi An in the future. Her storyline has just begun. And needs to develop. 

And we saw all the three girls in one scene. It was like the director try to hints us about three different love lines. 

I just hope that Mu Nian Zi in the drama will not sacrifice herself for Xu Qi An. Because her story is already full of tragedy.  

I am also very curious, will Xu Qi An's change of fate in Dafeng be related to Yang Lin's change of fate in the real world? And if so, how? What exactly will change in Yang Lin's fate?

Yagyaseni

It would be lovely if the story goes on further to encompass Mu Nanzi' s story entirely. Among all the FLs I was indeed more affected by her struggles and dreams.

Yang Lin in real life should ideally go back to the police academy(I don't remember why he dropped out). He is really flexible in his work mode so he might really flourish where ever he stays!😂
