Yes, you're right.

I have seen the 52 and 55 versions. Not the 63 version, though.

I experienced the same issue with Goodbye, My Princess, in 2019. I had never liked the series until I decided to watch it again in March this year.

Guess what? I am now in love with the series.

I am taken aback by PXR's acting in this series. I find her irritating, TBH.

Maybe I have watched GBMP too many times until my subconscious disallows myself to continue watching new tv series starring PXR.

Which chapter in the novel does it mention that XF is buried in the central plains?

In the 1st side story, Pei Zhao says he visited her grave ten years ago.

Read the novel. LCY's character would shock you to the core:

LCY is a human being, after all, even though he is a cold-blooded killer.

XF is his Achilles' heel.

In the novel, she died in the Li Empire. Who could take away the body except LCY? Pei Zhao's visit to her grave is another clue that LCY repatriated XF's body to Western Liang.

Otherwise, how did Pei Zhao know where she was buried in Western Liang?

These are not explicitly detailed in the novel but only LCY could give up XF's body as she was his official wife.

The first scene in Episode 1 takes me back to GBMP.

Love Starry Love Episode 2.

LCY in the tv series is just a tip of the iceberg of the character in the novel.

In the novel, LCY is a cold-blooded killer and he is only twenty years old.

My favourite scene.

I love this scene. Both were so cute especially XF.

This is the scene where LCY begins to like XF.

I love this scene. XF is so carefree.

This romance is deemed tragic from the moment this scene is added to the drama.

I cry every time I watch the scene where XF hysterically begs LCY to stop the soldiers from shooting the arrows at Gu Jian and Ah Du.

Even Pei Zhao cannot bear the scene. LCY's heart is made of stone.

Agree. Xiao Feng is more famous than Princess Fragrance of Xinjiang. The latter never died and lived happily in the Forbidden City until she died.

XF wanted LCY to feel the loss of his loved ones. That's why she chose suicide. Her suicide was an act of revenge against LCY.

But, she never knew LCY was willing to return her body to Western Liang where she was burried following her death.

This last act for XF is a sign of LCY's love for her. Had he been possessive, XF would have been buried in the imperial mausoleum with him.

Who on earth would wish to be separated in death with his loved one? This gesture proves that LCY was willing to give in for XF for the last time even if he knew he would miss her forever without her presence in his country.
