I haven’t started the show yet (waiting to see if it has a HE and to hear what the deal is with the ML and if he is redeemable and how they do it lol), but have they divorced yet? I’m assuming this question isn’t a spoiler because it’s in the synopsis 😅
In the novel, it is only a first half or 1/3 of the novel. Many things happened afterwards.
Oh well that’s good to know! I wonder how closely the drama will follow the novel in that regard. I read in some other places that some things are different.
Now let me be a bit shallow and say that I prefer or ML to have gray hair - he looked really cool with them 🤭
The Prisoner of Beauty!! 😍 Arranged marriage between two enemy clans, enemies-to-lovers, no love triangles, no dragged out angst, LOTS of scenes with the main leads, a few steamy kisses and great intimacy 🔥 *chefs kiss* I could talk about that one and When Destiny Brings the Demon aaaaalllll day.

It’s a good one! I’m going through it now. When Destiny Brings tbe Demon is also GREAT. That one and TPoB are my favorite ones. No lovely silver haired Chinese men though 😔
Well that depends on what you mean by “getting together”… they get married before episode 10 (6, I think?…
The woman is a conniving villain who plots against the leads and seeks power. The guy is related to the ML and his backstory develops as the story progresses 🙂
WEEEEEELLLLL……… 😂Not at the end of season 1. If you watch Seaosn 2 then yes… but others will say that season 2 was a disappointment even with the HE. If you want me to give you more details I can. I personally didn’t mind season 2, even though the first season was better.
So I totally get why some people would be troubled by some of the themes in this one. I also think those who are…
Yeah, I see the distinction you’re making. A lot of old traditional American movies, for example, romanticize non-consensual sex. I guess my main point is that some people may look at the ML’s behaviors in this show and find it romantic (🙋♀️) while others don’t. People connect with fictional narratives from the lens of their own internal experiences / desires, and tales of fiction provide a safe place to do that. 🤷🏼♀️
Ye Hau was doing so well until he decided he needed to force a non-consensual kiss on Bai Qian's mouth until she…
So I totally get why some people would be troubled by some of the themes in this one. I also think those who are NOT troubled by these parts are also valid. Sometimes spontaneous, sad, angsty, angry passion is someone’s cup of tea. It’s mine. I prefer that sometimes than to stilted, guarded love where someone is too afraid to act out of raw, passionate emotion. There’s no need to shame people who have different tastes in romance than you. We watch these shows to escape reality and to be able to safely fantasize about things that otherwise may be considered problematic or even criminal “in real life”. How many of your favorite fictional characters have taken coldhearted revenge on someone? Unapologetically killed someone? Assaulted someone for the “right” reasons? Or gave up the lives of a lot of other people just to save one person? Everyone has their stuff. It’s the beauty of fiction.
I tried really, really, hard but I just can't finish this for some reason. I get sleepy mid-episode so many times.…
I dunno how far you got into it, but I remember struuuuuuggling for like the better part of the first third of the show. For me it picked up later on, and seeing that I rated this show at like an 8 I must have REALLY liked the last half or something lol.
i just started watching this, can someone spoil when does the main couple actually "get together"? because…
Well that depends on what you mean by “getting together”… they get married before episode 10 (6, I think? Maybe 8). Their marriage is arranged, so they don’t like or trust each other in the beginning. The mutual trust grows steadily into mutual respect / understanding and then love. There isn’t really a concrete time they “get together” because technically they always are together. If you’re thinking “getting together” like consummating their marriage and having sex, well that doesn’t happen until around episode 30 - 32… although they try earlier but get interrupted 😂 So yeah. The love and affection for each other is there loooonng before they consummate their marriage though. Its truly a beautiful story. No break ups, no love triangles… lovely communication and maturity. TPoB is my favorite Asian show.
For me it is HE but for some it would be and open endingBut I can say that you would ask for more for the ending…
Yeah I’m not the biggest fan of rushed endings like that. While I wished for more time in the modern world, I didn’t have any trouble believing that the ending was happy. Considering they were in love in three other lifetimes and were Soul Bonded, it isn’t that much of a stretch to assume that they will have that soul connection in the modern world (4th lifetime) as well 😊

“Have you… visited my soul manor?”
“Yes. A lot.”
