He even said in yesterday's ep that he is no longer her sidekick, but her perfect match

Ep15 - 100,000 taels of gold huh? She certainly made it difficult for them :D

Her character is supposed to be stoic (she's been the leader of a territory for centuries and has a lot of responsibility to shoulder). Most people like cold aloof MLs and cheerful FLs, I think. This starts as a cold FL and cheerful ML, but she loosens up around him in later eps.

(Don't expect her to suddenly become super-cheerful though. She's still a chief, protecting her "people")

Nah, I don't know if she feels something for him which would stem from her gratitude, but I don't think he does. As he said in Ep14: [his] "heart is not an inn" :D

I don't think spirits reincarnate, only humans. But I also think *maybe* you won't cringe when the romance starts either (simply because I have the same views and was able to enjoy it)

Maybe there's a spell or something :D

I think there were a lot of comments with this one too, when the first eps aired. It's at ep16 now, so it has died down.

Again, I don't see it as parent-child at all, but even master-disciple in this way seems wrong. The manhua that this is based on is even worse because he falls for her when he's a child. At least drama waited until he was an adult.

I'm not saying this setup is ok. I mentioned in an older comment that I wish they had gone about this differently.

To your second point, I think there *are* dramas where a man trains a girl from childhood and they fall in love after.

Both seem wrong to me.

Or Dramaland is going to change the rules :D

She's rejecting his confession in that preview, yeah? (or did I misunderstand it entirely?)
In another older trailer (at the 5:40 mark in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feW7qutvNBQ), she's sort of crying and thinking "how can a heart without love fall for someone". I thought the outfit was similar in the two scenes, which is why I thought they might be bringing up that storyline. But now I see the background is different, so maybe not :D

I don't understand how that would work. If the powers are passed down the female line, then how could DFYC pass down those genes?

I think we might be getting to the DF Luo storyline now, given the setup in the Ep18 preview

She didn't really parent him, though she certanly was around when he grew up. The problem is, since she's a spirit and he's a human, there will always be a difference in lifespan. If she was a kid when he was a kid, then she would still have a kiddy form even after he becomes an adult.

They have more of a master-disciple thing going at the beginning, and he refers to himself as her sidekick, but that changes later.

The preview shows him grabbing her hand, so it might happen. Hopefully they spare us the gruesome parts.

I think it might depend on the target audience. A drama targeting younger audiences might be online, while one that targets those over 50 might be shown on TV. (This is my guess anyway)

Maybe it was that formation even in the manhua. I may be remembering wrong. I just remembered the stabbing himself part because it was gross :D

I'm assuming so (I don't know for sure either, but based on the preview and earlier trailers, I would guess yes)

The other two chapters are prequels, aren't they? (I'm not sure either)

Thoughts during rewatch:
I'm surprised that as early as Ep4, he takes her hand in front of people and leads her someplace (and she allows it)
Even more surprised at the way he holds her hand in Ep8 (though she burned him that time :D)

Maybe that's the bittersweet ending 🤣🤣🤣
