This show is my favorite one. If you like a mature couple who communicates, has lots of screen time, no silly drama based on not communicating then this one is a good one.

Really? I tried to figure that out, but couldn’t.

Since I can’t continue Fated Hearts with my partner being gone today, I’ll pick this one up for some lighter viewing with less stress 😂

Best show under TPoB. 🥰

Is there a chance that this show will become available on other streaming sites like Viki? The reason I’m asking is I really don’t like how IQIYI does their subtitles. They’re too quick, change with every breath the actors take, and sometimes I have to rewind and pause the show to read them 🤦🏼‍♀️ I dunno if anyone else has that problem.

Yeeeesssss though I am still watching 😄A little over halfway done. Episode 20

When Destiny Brings the Demon 😎 No deception. No keeping secrets. Just honesty and a lot of skinship and intimacy. Legend of Shen Li is another one that doesn’t fit the trope. 😄

Ohhhhh yeah both of those are good ones!

Love this description 😆 These shows are not my thing, personally.

She lied to him again in 22? 🤦🏼‍♀️

And the clothes. Feng Suige’s clothes and hair accessories are the most beautiful I’ve seen 🤌🏻 Every scene that he’s in I’m just staring at the clothes he is wearing and noticing the patterns, textures and designs. Just gorgeous

No love triangle though.

HMMMMM…… Yah I’m kinda coming up blank. I am immediately thinking of Moonlight Mystique, but I wouldn’t say the FL is “feral”, although she’s no pushover. The ML is a badass, but after some character development I wouldn’t say he has the edge that Feng Suige does.

You may like Journey to Love? FL is an assassin (Yixiao actually reminds me a LOT of her), the ML is also kick ass, but again I wouldn’t say he has the dark edge. If you’re particular about how shows wrap up, you may want to look into this one before picking it up, though.

Haven’t seen it myself because I am particular about how shows go, but I’ve heard great things about My Journey to You. I believe the FL is an assassin in that one. Hmm….

Yeah I think that’s about what I got for now. Honestly, I have seen quite a bit of shows but not one that has a main couple quite like this one.

Are there spoilers in this? I’m only up to episode 20

*coughs up blood* Sima Jiao… I’m dying…. 🤣

Thank you!! 🙏

LIC as in Love in the Clouds? Yea I put it on hold because of the constant lying and deceit, mostly by the FL. It probably didn’t help watching it alongside Fated Hearts - where you have two very mature, communicative leads. In LITC they’re both lying and secretly using each other, and while the ML gets some great development, the FL continues to lie to him and use him… much longer than made sense. They’re two very different couples, but I will say that there’s a lot of 🔥 🌶️ in LITC. The chemistry is good and the visuals are gorgeous. If you don’t mind romantic drama centered around lying, using each other and secret keeping then you probably wouldn’t mind this one.

“Alright. It’s a deal, then.”
😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am loving all your thoughts, and shared similar ones a few days ago. Good to know I’m not the only one who is struggling with the FL’s characterization.

Mmhmm. It’s too bad. Better characterization with the FL would have helped a little. Show us where she’s coming from - show us flashbacks of her life, give us more insight into her thoughts other than just her thoughts of using and manipulating him.

And it was also just a waste of what could have been better storytelling. How about not rely on bad, overused cliched tropes such as not communicating, keeping secrets, lying and love triangles as a way to create drama? It’s lazy, lazy storytelling.
