This is my first time seeing this actress in a drama and she's too good of an actress to be appearing in this…
You could check out Moonlight Mystique - same ML as in Coroner’s Diary. Legend of Shen Li, Legend of the Female General, When Destiny Brings the Demon, The Prisoner of Beauty and Shadow Love are all really good.
It’s tough seeing the BTS and of these two. They gave her a ton of makeup to make her look older, but it’s sooo uncomfortable watching them acting like a romantic couple. I think one of the scenes he fell on top of her. And then one with a full frontal hug and face holding. I can’t do this one - it’s too disturbing. It sucks because the arranged marriage trope where love comes after is my favorite. I was excited about this one. Not anymore.
Would have been a perfect show had the whole HK arc been done completely differently… or not at all. What a bummer! I was so invested in this one until the character regression. I sorta get what they were trying to do, but the way the writers went about trying to do it SUCKED.

Oh my gosh why are you coming at me? 😂 I was talking to someone else about their concerns about the lying trope, and basically sharing my experience before you interjected 😂. What I decide to post is my choice, and you are choosing to argue with me and insinuate that I’m “sick in the head” 😆 Don’t like what I say, then don’t engage with my posts? Block me? 🤷🏼♀️ This is an open discussion form about the show, and I don’t see any rules about only positive posts being allowed lol. You can go ahead and get your panties in a twist all you want over my criticisms of the show. You wanna know why I check back occasionally and keep tabs on this one even though I don’t like it? Because it’s pretty to look at and I’m curious as to how it ends. 🤷🏼♀️ 😂 It is a win-win for me. I can find and watch specific scenes that I’m curious about (*coughsthebathscene*) without being in a state of feeling irritated by the deceit and secret keeping.

I’ve been watching historical Chinese shows, both xianxia and wuxia, nonstop for six months. I vet my shows pretty thoroughly before I pick one up, though. So like Legend of Shen Li, When Destiny Brings the Demon and Moonlight Mystique were overall really good. 🤷🏼♀️ I own my mistake for picking up this show given the synopsis, but I just figured it wouldn’t drag out as long as it ended up dragging for.

Not bad? LOL. She lied for 25 episodes. After the ML injured himself for the marriage ritual, she lied and said that she was Xian’s betrothed 😂 She even lied about the GMD and decided to steal it literally the night that they had sex for the first time! So I respectfully disagree. 🤷🏼♀️

You can always watch it for yourself and see what you think. A lot of people love it, it just isn’t for me. I check back on the page occasionally to see the updates because I got juuuust invested enough to stay curious about it, but not enough to keep watching and push through the irritation I felt at the lying being dragged out.
The story seems interesting, but the FL is just too difficult for me to watch. 3 eps in and I'm not getting used…
She’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but she grew on me as the story developed and I LOVE her. Everyone else on the show outside of like 1 or 2 people want to either kill SJ or harvest his blood for their own cultivation. A lot of us came to appreciate the FL because she is like the only person on the show who doesn’t expect / want anything from him. Also, she does get character development and toughens up later on.
