The ending is the typical ending for time travel drama, where they return to modern world and meet again which can feel a bit repetitive at this point. A Dream Within a Dream does better at giving us that refreshing ending piece, but in terms of intimacy and romance, this drama delivers a very addicting, satisfying yet leave you yearning for more type of chemistry that's hard to get over. It no doubt my top xianxia romance of 2025 aside from ADWAD, given if nothing of better quality comes out by the end of next quarter

Technically, her Spirit Fire was fused with his blood and soul, so I thought its a possibility there would not be any backlash if she just give it back to him.

NianJiu said since reincarnated SMJ is still too young (with no cultivation) to regain his memories, I wonder if LTY will give him a flower petal from the Spirit Fire within her?

Kinda but still ok. Main couple is steamy af so I have no complaint lol

You are so right. While I love both FL and ML, my only hope for LTY right now is please do not f**k up and take off that heart bracelet, potentially putting both her and especially SMJ in mortal danger.

OMG Im swooning all over... For someone who thinks love is for the weak in the beginning, SMJ is way too romantic. My heart.. too sweet! 💕💕

Damn, Ep. 22 really struck hard on so many levels and to SJ especially. Seeing the woman he loves deeply suffers because of his actions. I think he finally truly understands kindhearted TY's pain of being forced to kill people, and although it was SQL who forced her, SJ also feels super guilty for forcing her to do the same thing before, of course we all know who did it out of concern for her safety and who did it out of pure selfishness and psychopathic schemes. In modern terms, TY is literally a victim who got kidnapped, brainwashed, trained and force to commit murder and even developed Stockholm syndrome with her captive. Its really crazy that a Xianxia would explore this area.

Yeah it'll be something if she can actually soften the old cockroach's heart and maybe somehow make him remorseful for all the terrible things he'd done, but he seems incorrigible to me

Same I feel so disgusted that not only they fed on the flesh and blood of the Fengshan clan but also enslaving them, forcing them to breed with their own kind, not to mention child abuse... its utterly inhumane.

I know China trying to be subtle about these subjects on screen but doesn't really change how dark and heavy it is

Well this is a whole new level of dark...nothing like celestial beings going as far as commiting cannibalism for power...

I remember there was one adaptation where they show Mei Chao Feng actually fell in love with her Master, Huang Yao Shi (he had some feelings for her as well despite having a wife...) instead of Xuan Feng in the backstory (basically she just used XF to get the manual). Forgot which version but man, I thought that was the most ridiculous thing ever that totally ruined it for me.

I guess never told was not the right word. I meant this one here by far is the most refreshing and tragic.

I like this adaptation with a whole new in-depth retelling of the never told backstory about Mei Chao Feng and Mei Xuan Feng and all of Hua Island. MZY and HY got that unique chemistry together for being the good and bad couple.

Its pretty cool that they will retell these from perspective of each of the great martial master so it comes in 5 parts and we are only on the second.
The only thing that kinda takes me away from the first part of the story is Guo Jin and no offense to the actor but I wish they had pick someone younger to played his role. You can totally see the age gap between him and Huang Rong.

Whats most ridiculous to me is Junior mom pretty much holds all the secrets and doesnt anyone to know but its always her who spill it by accident by blabbing it in the open for other people to overhear

Maybe its just me but I think it would be more satisfying to see fake emperor Yan Han live, get sentenced and pay for his crimes. All or most the criminals in this drama got away too easy by death.

Obviously he faked crying, he instigated his second son to kill his eldest...

Something sus about empress dowager face when grand aunt mentions prince Yu have twins boy and girl... the emperor mustve had a twin brother or something

Seem like all the princes aiming for our girl Qin Wan as their primary consort despite her reputation as a coroner. 😂

Now I just want to know when will our main couple get married? What episode is the wedding? Yan Chi need to be quick!

Her other senior brother (the funny one) did mention she use to dress up as a man, so maybe nobody knew who she really was back then when she was working with her dad and her dad hid it well 🤷‍♀️

Can't refute anything AvenueX said either. You really have to shut your brain off sometimes when watching certain dramas like this one. Sames tropes as any other but as long as its enjoyable, I don't care if its outdated. Though I also find some of the cases not very satisfying when solved like the case of QW's senior brother. It would've been nice if there were more flashbacks of him and his wife, how she fell ill and then lead him to commit those murders in order to cure her and how her brother end up getting locked up. Other cases also were over too quickly. Maybe because of episodes limitations, they try rushing through the side cases before getting to the main one. I really like detective dramas that have cases that all ties in with each other leading to the main case at the end. Unfortunately, they don't do anything elaborate like that here.

I just assume Shen Wan being skilled as a doctor is because she really grew up at Medicine King Valley and experienced as coroner because she probably learns from her father and follows him around solving many cases since young. But you know, sound like she has a very busy childhood going back and forth between two places. lol

I'm really just loving Li Landi's acting here, how gorgeous she looks and her sweet scenes with Ao Rui Peng. The romance and Shen Wan's looking professional and smart when solving cases/curing patients is really what keep me going

I hope that beidu princess's jealous shenanigans ends quickly and doesn't last til the end of the drama because that would be super annoying!
