Question to the novel readers - I haven’t gotten to ep. 17 yet fyi. But do we know why XZ never shared his identity with Changyu up until this point? My brain can come up with some reasons why he wouldn’t, such as her knowing who he is could put her in danger, etc. but is there another reason? Just curious.
So do I need to prepare myself for the leads having NO screen time together until the early 20 episodes? (Ep. 19 doesn’t count b/c she was unconscious)
1. ML left Linan. (a forced kiss, FL hit him as well. ML saves her few chapters later, but she doesn't know she…
OH FANTASTIC! Ok now I am excited. THAT sounds like some good quality angst! 🤩 I’ve seen dramas where the kids do get blamed for the sins of their parents and I’ve always disliked it.

I hear ya. I guess I’ll just have to see how it plays out in the drama. If they clearly show that the breakup is because of the negative association with her and his family’s death, I could probably grudgingly tolerate it… but what would be harder for me to deal with is if he somehow blames her or directs his anger at HER for what her parents did when she was a baby. I guess we will see. I hope it doesn’t drag out long. The back and forth discussed above sounds tiring.

Like an actual breakup? Sheesh it sounds like a lot of back and forth drama :/ . I kinda hope they deviate a little from the novel with this. If the breakup is because of “I am mad at you because of what your ancestors did to my ancestors that you had no control over” - I struggle a lot with that stuff. Others say they don’t divorce per-say, but yet others indicate a breakup. Sounds confusing lol 😅
Okay so obviously the angst / separation is fast approaching and I’m debating when to hold off on watching episodes so I can binge through the separation arc. Do we have any idea what episode he leaves and which one they see each other again? Also, use spoiler tags 😊
“‘Though storm and darkness fill the sky, and the rooster crows without end, now that I have met you how could my heart not rejoice?’ The meaning of that poem line is that amidst the gloom and pouring rain, the roosters crow in panic. Yet precisely in this chaotic moment, I glance around and I catch sight of her. It’s like parting the cloud and mist, and a beam of light falls upon me — warm and radiant, fulfilling my heart with joy.’
“When I heard him recite this line before, I just thought it sounded nice, but I had no idea what was good about it until just now, when he turned his head to look at me. In that instant, the courtyard fell completely silent. Even the falling snow seemed lighter, and even the wind blowing over felt softer and gentler. It was like the sun on the winter solstice — shining perfectly on me.”
I think in episode 23 or so Ms Xu gets demoted. A few episodes after that Ling Yi gets what is coming to her… Feng Lin is a bit later, probably like 27/28ish.
It's on netflix. Consider actually supporting by watching LEGALLY.
Do not openly advertise illegal websites on this site! Imagine being a music artist that puts your own time and effort into creating music, and then having your fans advertise pirating websites where they can download your music without having to pay for it! Have you thought about how you’re taking away business from the ENTIRE cast and crew who went through so much work creating this drama? There are a lot of other legal websites with subscriptions that cost less than Netflix. But every time people like you advertise fake websites you’re hurting the cast, crew and streaming companies who actually put in work to create and air these dramas. 😡At the VERY LEAST use a spoiler tag when you’re talking about stealing business from the cast and crew members.
Hey! I am SO excited to start this one but I would like to be prepared - do they actually show any animals getting slaughtered on screen? It’s hard for me seeing stuff happen to animals 😅
