The FL met real Zhaoxi only one time when they played chess. Any attraction only went so far as she, who is an assassin trained to put her feelings behind the task ahead, thought it would be ok to marry him to get the leadership position. All other feelings and her rethinking who she wants to be came when the crown prince started acting as Zhaoxi.

Both the madam and the concubine married Gu Jinchao's father against their parents' wishes? What love spell did he put on them in their youth? 💀

Hedgehog Sheng with Jin Lun would make a cute little comic.

This is a wild summary. Shame it seems like it'll never see the light of day.

First episode watched and this is gonna be a spectacle for sure!

The story walking back the FLs development for convenience is so annoying. Her experiences with Lu Huai had every right to change her view on the world. Then it erased her arc one development with amnesia. In arc two she learns all of one "race" aren't good or bad just because they belong to it. What does the writing do in the third arc? Walk that back as well.

The story thematizes power whether through skill and immortality. The ML knows the cost of power, it makes people cruel - intentionally or not - and his people's power is tied to the fact that their power will ultimately dominate them by causing them to maim everyone around. If you want a sillily powerful ML without any commentary, this is just not the story for you.

They are not unrelated people at all. They are very much part of the main story. After all the story is about how humans get treated under sect rule and the ML wants to be human.

I think the water curse had simply progressed too far for her to use her powers without aid. After the rain comes, she can use it again.

Loving it so far. I only found it by chance yesterday. There are more intrigues at play than I would have guessed.

Yeah, I'm pretty worried about the memory erasure. Once she knows, it should make her be fed up with the ML for a good while, but will the show give her enough episodes to angrily deal with that and how much is it gonna feel like the story is set back by it? I guess/heng Sheng will break the news about Mei's memory.

Lu Qianqiao revoked his jealousy rights when he erased Mei's memories.

Saw this when checking out Zhu Zheng Ting's page. Heart's Mistake in combination with the melancholic cover art sounds interesting!

Very curious about "the heavy secrets she carries". I hope Lu Yang Yang gets to play a great FL.

The two dramas have some things in common, which is nice to see play out.

Sheng and Qianqiao incredibly angry in the same episode is a mood.

So just because someone has a sword it must transform into crescent moon? Nowhere in these two episodes does Sheng use crescent moon, which isn't even an art from her and Mei's sect. Mei learned it somewhere else. Not even when Sheng goes all out against Jin do her dual swords transform. You're just mixing stuff together.

Same! I'm sure glad they are listed as main cast here, so they will get some good and substantial scenes going forward.

As other's have said, it's Xin Mei's junior, and where did you see her use crescent moon? She just uses dual swords.

Sheng is so radical. Love her already. I'm very curious about her relationships given the question mark on the relationship chart. And Mei is so real for liking Senior Eyelashes. I guess he taught her his sect's sword spell, then, or they learned together, but he doesn't remember.
