I'm against violence on principle, but he does need to have some sense knocked into his head. Seriously, what is he thinking! I know he must be terrified of the moment she finds out, so he is willing to do anything to postpone it as long as possible, without considering the consequences of his actions.

This is one point where age-appropriate casting would have worked wonders -- the marquis is a stupid 21yo with a prefrontal cortext not fully developed yet.

9.2 despite antifans downrating episodes that haven't aired yet. 🤣🥰🤣🥰

Same thing happened in Love Like The Galaxy. Vines gripping and not letting people fall to their deaths.

Song Yi Meng in "A Dream Within A Dream".

When he told he he will leave after her birthday in a previous episode, she had asked him if he couldn't stay and he did not reply.

He was alone, facing an enemy army and took the jade cat in his mouth awaiting his head to be cut off. There were 0 chances of him getting away. The scene when they meet again, the tree they planted together was old, so they reunited after she dies as well.

I think the director hates/is uncomfortable with happy endings... hence the false epilogues with the ashes laid by the peach tree and the healer sittinf by ML shaking his head.

The director killed off the ML from The Double (offscreen) even though the novel had a happy ending, and then was bullied by fans into making a short special episode where the leads are happy with children.

Production team/network/sponsors forced the director to change the face of one of the actors because he acted in a BL drama and he chose to replace him with an actor known from the most (in)famous Chinese BL drama of all time? This is a statement.

Both the screenwriter (Love Like The Galaxy) and the director (Blossom) know what they are doing. I have full confidence on their ability to stick the landing with this drama.

Maybe it's on purpose?

Do you have links? Please 🥺

Weird. On my iQiyi, Wei Yan is called prime minister.

I for one like having songs translated and I'm used to reading the dialogue in between the verses.

I find the translation on iQiyi to be OK. Better than the one on WeTV in any case.

Plus you have time to think about what you watched. Anticipation and tension build-up is better.

I have seen many explanations - the director did not like ZLH's accent, ZLH had rhinitis so was unable to dub himself or he was otherwise engaged when the dubbing sessions started.

Sometime between 23rd and 26th of March.
