No.

Is his mom an alcoholic? She was drinking what looked like hard liquor at breakfast to "celebrate" his birthday.

Both boys are in the same grade at school, but Jiang Yan said he's older. I think the father cheated on Xi Xiao's mother and got both women pregnant at the same time.

For me, the drama is geoblocked on iQIYI, like so many other shows I was interested in this year. At the end of the year, I will make some calculations to check if it's worth renewing my premium subscription once it ends, otherwise I will just stick to the regular one. When I signed up for premium during the new year's sale, I was fooled by the number of great shows that were advertised in the reservation section.

That's because MangoTV is the producer, iQIYI only has broadcasting right.

I took it as a way of convincing her to agree to sleep next to him. She wanted to sleep with her maid and didn't want to agree to have him sleep in her bed (at the temple it was an exception). So he presented her with an option that she would most likely refuse just to convince her to have him sleep next to her.
It was a win-win strategy for him - if she agreed to the consummation, great, if she didn't agree, he would say "no worries, let's just go to sleep". He would get his way either way.

It's 7.7 now 😮‍💨

Watched the first 4 episodes and I like what I'm seeing. Looking forward to tomorrow's episodes!

He's a half-good, half-bad half-boy 😉

Thanks for taking the time to check my watchlist, that was very thoughtful! I will give it a go since I enjoy watching the lead actors. I would have like Generation to Generation a lot more if it didn't end the way it did.

Agreed, but I wouldn't necessarily call him a new generation actor, he is over 30.

That was what the Chinese commentators on youtube said they were. I assume they know what they are talking about.

Sanskrit chants, they are not in Chinese.

The romance is not as important as the other parts of the story yet, that is why I called it a subplot for now. But as I mentioned, the more the story progresses, the more romance-focused the story will most likely become.

I hope Ye Li becomes more psychologically stable before she enters her romance era since she is now in a very delicate and vulnerable state of mind.

Yes, exactly. Does the romance affect the plot yet? Not really. The romance is there, but it's not the most important part of the story. Hence, romance subplot for now.

She doesn't have multiple personalities, she dissociated when she fell off the cliff and when she tried to remember what happened, her brain rearranged her memories so it matched the results since she blanked out.
Her hallucination with her maid is another coping mechanism of her PTSD, whenever she feels down or lonely or needs someone to comfort her, the maid appears to keep her company.

I made a playlist the songs that have been officially released up until now:
https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLb78tyTwYJRg&si=baOm5n-b3zKoBJGH
It contains both the original version and the instrumental one of the songs.
The background music hasn't been released yet.
Usually the official album drops in the last week of airing.

He will make an appearance in the next episodes, according to the previews. The drama doesn't follow the novel, so nobody knows what's going to happen next.

That was a very well constructed argument with literature references. The Ajax story made me realise the pitfalls of having to read the myths and legends of Olympus at the age of 10, and not revisiting them in a academic settings at a later age -- you take the stories at face value.
It also reminded me of this beautiful quote I saw about Orpheus' descent: an Orpheus who doesn't look back is not Orpheus, because the simple act of descending into inferno is an act of looking back. I would have loved to study ancient literature in high-school.
