Sima Jiao slayed today (literally and figuratively)! I wished they chose a different voice for him, but CFY is excellent as the bloodthirsty Grandmaster!
Yeah I was annoyed at that scene - way too drama drama to set up for the later scene. But then XJ appeared and…
They did do the sneak attack bit - on HY but of course we know what happened 😁 But I think your excuse could be true since there was no one moving near around them 😂
In the middle of the fight, she let go of her sword!!!!!Director and script writer…she is a general! What and…

Only one episode but at least it was a good one. Because of the reunion scene, I can forgive HY’s over-dramatic behavior during the battle. Girl, the fight was still going on - you don’t just become a sacrificial lamb because of grief. A true general doesn’t do that. But…the reunion and XJ’s words erased my irritation. Also, the horse was one of the heroes!
Another beautiful episode (ep 5) from such an underrated show. It’s a shame that, like many slice-of-life healing dramas, some might dismiss it as boring—but for those who appreciate its quiet charm, it’s truly a gem
So far so good. It started feeling like a mini drama but the show is clearly of better quality. I love al the modern phrases that the FL comes up with.
It feels like it is going to be angsty though but what's a xianxia without that?
Yk i ta;ked abt this in a earlier comment, i think its not necessarily a bad thing. He became a deputy general…
You're right - he's actually a realistic character portraying the thinking of those times. What seemed odd to me is that he was part of He Yan's8 deputy generals, whom she respected and bonded with. They must have gone through many battles together and have been in similar situations with rescued women. I am surprised that He Yan would have tolerated such behavior and mindset from one of her trusted men.
It would have made more sense if they at least followed the novel, and made him an acquaintance of He Yan.
I feel like his very gray character is being whitewashed. In the novel, chu zhao was the most compliacted and…
I agree—I don’t think the show needed to suddenly portray him as a good character. What I would have preferred was to see him wrestle with his flaws and growth, and ultimately make a choice—whether good or bad—that felt justifiable.
I was surprised to see Chu Zhao pop up yet again in the latest battle but he ended up being helpful in multiple ways. XJ (and most viewers 😅) might not like his presence but so far he’s been all right.
At least, he’s not like many SMLs where they just become obsessive for no good reason. He fell for HY for legit reasons but it seems like he will slowly realize that she’s beyond his reach. Hopefully his very gray character will choose HY’s side in the end, and will leave us viewers hoping that he will get his own HE.
