At this point, maybe he isn’t aware of his intentions too. Or because he usually treads so carefully, he probably doesn’t want to frighten her off. She is rather young.

I feel bad for Ye Xian — and indirectly for JinZhao, since she is ultimately the one who suffers the consequences. Ye Xian tries so hard to earn her attention and admiration, but in his impulsive, reckless, and inexperienced way, he never fully considers the outcome of his actions.

In contrast, Chen Yan Yun’s maturity and life experience make him think several steps ahead. I especially liked the scene where he was barking orders at his steward to help JinZhao, only to pause and reconsider after thinking through the possible outcomes. That’s why the “whistle” scene felt so meaningful to me — in the end, he chose the most sincere and straightforward way to support her.

I also really like the way Ci Sha is portraying the male lead: calm, rational, and restrained, yet gradually softening as he falls deeper for JinZhao. He teases her, but never pushes her too far. Winwin is doing a great job as Ye Xian as well — he manages to make the character both pitiful and frustrating at the same time, which is not easy to pull off.

Just starting ep 14 knowing that it would be a sad one...Ah JinZhao, you're going to regret not saying it...

I wanted to strangle him myself after watching the end of episode 13. I really hope that he loses everything and reduced to nothing. Death is too easy for him.

Not surprising from dramas in such settings but the fathers in this show are just despicable. I cannot stand the fathers of YeXian and the Gu family.

Honestly it was the Nanny Zhao that was the biggest problem. The worst instigator! The concubine was not that evil - she was led astray by that woman.

Ok my suspect got killed off but he did admit to hurting the bad guys. So who else is left for Ran to investigate? Is it her who is supposed to be dead but is not???

You’re right - there are some similarities! Even though the stories are not always happy, there is something soothing about the show.

Seems like both the ML’s love rivals might be forced to back out because of family circumstances…

Somehow this drama reminds me of “The Story of MingLan”. Both equally good!

I came across this last night and just like that, watched all 6 episodes. I love “travelogue” dramas like this one with excellent cinematography. The acting is excellent and the slice of life stories of the three ladies flow very nicely.
It’s too bad that it’s only 8 episodes.

Yeah i think he came back and found out about all the ones related to Wu Shan Long - I think he’s the killer that hit that Mrs. Zhao too

I’m so annoyed - her power got leveled up but then she got weakened even more now.
Also not enough of those horrible cultivators suffered - I wanted to see more pay for their narrow power hungry minds! Especially Jiang Ji and the mad guy in the library 😡

Does anyone else think that the Song guy is back?

Allen Ren is a very good proof of that! It does not take skinship to deliver the heart fluttering feels that I get from watching his dramas. It's the way he expresses himself using his eyes, and body language. He has chemistry with most of his FLs.
Of course it also helps that the FLs were good and talented in their own right. Seven Tan, Dilreba, Bailu, Song Zuer all amazing actresses and also known to have good chemistry with their MLs.
All in all, it's the pairing that matters. There were a couple of his dramas where I thought it would have been better if he and the FL were siblings :D

Well one could hope for a quick peck like in Demon Hunter's Romance, or a longer lingering but stiff one in the Blue Whisper or a soft one like in Forever and Ever...those are the only 3 I can think of lol

Same here - the deep hues and accessories are so flattering.

Well, hypothetically speaking, and this is purely just theory - it can be for having more children and in a non patriarchal world, they probably don't care who the father is when the end goal is to have the child. It's like in our modern world of going to a sperm bank.
Personally, I'm not sure I am comfortable watching a woman truly engaging in a harem since I am usually so annoyed watching men do that in the dramas.

Oh yeah, I forgot - it was such a quick peck! You’re right though - it’s such a rare sight that we hold our breath waiting for it 😅

I don't want Jiang Ji to die, instead I want her to lose all her cultivation and all her meridians broken, reduced to a mortal. That's a better punishment for her compared to death.
