and it's over for me when I'm already feeling THINGS with the cp from the damn TRAILER alone this is gonna consume the rest of my life for this year

esther looks sooo hot in the poster THAT CHOCKER is cherry on top

my pretty princesses kiku and wang duo I'LL BE TUNING IN

The c-ent industry doing women dirty...omg what a shocker. Totally the first time this happens. Haven't seen it before at all like nope nah of course not

+The "evil" woman dresses sexily ✔️
+evil woman lies about SA to screw a man up (worst trope ever) ✔️
+evil woman wins her cases by seducing the judges (when tf does that even happen lmfao??^!%! even if it does, why are the grown men who fall for her bewitching stripped of any intelect and responsibility like 10 y/o kids and it's just her being a wh0re??😭) ✔️
+cheater husband was just an innocent meow meow who got bewitched by evil woman ✔️
+according to wife he didn't commit a sin, he just "fell in LOVE" ✔️
+Another partly evil woman is bad cause she "sold" her body to a sugardaddy✔️
+capitalist nepo baby ceo is just some guy who's looking for a woman who wants him not his money (poor guy uwu)
+And the sexist cringefest award goes to the conversation between the fl and the villain in the masquerade bathroom:
" But...wasn't aphrodite a shameless woman who walked around, tits out, trying to seduce men and get what she wanted from them?"

It's actually quite the wonder that after more than a year every time my thoughts jump back into this show I discover more misogyny in it 😭 like I'm convinced it was the coping mechanism for the scriptwriter who got caught cheating on his wife and does have an impressive amount of wild conservative ideologies on women's "purity" and the evil of their sexuality and shit lol

Ik it's been a long time but I just can't stop being proud of her and happy to see her glowing and showing off her amazing skills and being the baddie she truly is after leaving her ex company 😭

Minimalism does just not culturally fit into the Chinese fashion and clothing industry imo and the minimalist xianxia styling wave that started since 2015 should've never happened🤷🏻‍♀️

ppl seem to question some of the costumes but me personally I LOVE these so much like It's time we move on from boring minimalist costuming in cdramaland !!!!! Everybody is like yeah xianxia costumes don't look like this while cdramas actually used to have this exact extra and sometimes kitschy aesthetic back in the 90s and 2000s lol

like its insane how yall keep bringing her name into your bs she will forever be more attractive than YOU for sure and also employed unlike you

Ren Min is litterally so much prettier than all of your geges combined that they had to give her an ulgy wig to make her not stand out from the other cast members favored by the trashy production team you guys can keep CRYING about it

Also I would absolutely not care if the main lead's gender identity would not have much impact on the story. BUT!!!! The thing abt CY's novels is that the mc being a woman is actually extremely important to the story and what it tries to convey. Like the male chars in her books do usually not have THAT much of the plot contributed to them bc they're part of the fl's journey to self discovery, freedom etc . Tat's why the previous adaptations ended up getting hated to hell and back. Like even if the drama turns out to be okay, it's just not gonna hit like the og book...
To sum it up, i dislike this not bc I hate the ml or anything, I just think sometimes it's freaking OKAY to leave these kind of stories as they are so that young girls and women have some piece of media that just hits home😭 we deserve our own stories in which men are just... NOT that important lol

like, there's a load of novels about dudes doing manly dude things out there...why in god's grace doesn't c-ent want to leave the girlies' stories alone specially with cang yue's novels??? I do not even CARE even if this turns out to live up to be decent, (which will likely not happen, since most fem centric novel live actions that change the story like this turn out to be absolute trash in cdramaland) it's just disrespectful and very, very hypothetical when you do this to an author's book who's litterally KNOWN and praised all the time for her female centric narratives. Just NASTY and well...misogynistic lol
The way the entire production crew is just men is one big red flag itself lmao. Happy for li qin and I actually like Joseph but this is just disappointing and annoying and it's her 4th book that's getting done like this

"according to melons this is not gonna be female centric like the novel and the ml's gonna be more importa_" *punches a hole in the wall*

guys I'm logging out and I don't think I'll come back anytime soon so I just want to let you all know it was really nice to have some people talk to and share the frustration and happiness with sooo bye 😭👋🏻 I genuinely advise all of you to just let it go and find better things to do in life that actually makes you happy and healthy

If she actually cheated taxes well I'm mad at myself for trusting and defending her so much and inviting a good dose of anxiety tomy life bc of this stupid hyperfixation for ONE YEAR which is my own fault anyway cause you should never invest in a celebrity's life anyway...BUT, still nothing
changes the fact that a huge part of what she had to bare for 3 years was NOT her fault at all and I actually still hope #his stans go down and the truth about how fucking awful those people are and the injust and unfairness of what she went through at the start of her career's peak goes out to everyone. I genuinely hope one day ppl speak about how these male celebrity cult of fans fuck their female partners' lives up so bad and the men themselves watch and do absolutely nothing about it. Just fuck everything good lord lmfao

lmfaoooo it was good knowing yall I think that's it for me I'm not gonna give a flying fuck about c-ent anymore bye guys 🖐🏻

oooh so you guys can complain and cry about qhy your gege was treated like this and that but actress fans can't and should always be grateful thanking on their knees bc they costarred a famous and beautiful and talented and amazing man like him??? well now that we came to this Lyx stans are annoying as hell as well I genuinely hope none of my faves get to work with him in the future :)))

a load of nonsense...you just don't know absolutely anything about how the c-ent industry works and how much they LOVE to sabotage actresses lol

fulfilling my duty to come hwre every few months to say when tfff is this airing
