In the novels I shared, the FLs are mentally a lot older (with the rebirth and/or transmigration thing going on), most of the times even older than the MLs, although physically they are under-age. I guess that helped me not mind them so much when reading.

The only ancient setting novel you might appreciate would be - The Duke House’s Ideal Daughter-in-law
FL is 18 and ML is 16 at the start of the story. You might find the ML too childish though.

In most cases, FL ends up being 14-15 and ML ends up being late teens to early 20s. Those were the respective ages females and males usually get married.
Females would get engaged before 14, get their hairpin ceremony done by 15, and get married before 16. Beyond that, they were considered leftover women. At least, that's what the most c-novels taking place in ancient setting made me believe.

There are, however, way too many rebirth stories. FLs would live a lifetime (horrible, in most cases) before they go back in time to their younger selves -- 13 or 14. The MLs would be late teens or early 20s, no rebirth. So it kind of is a mixed bag, like do you think the FL is too young or too old?

If you haven't already, I'd suggest below novels, where FLs have been reborn or transmigrated (older women well into their 20s usually transmigrate into early teens):

1. The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage
2. Eight Treasures Trousseau
3. Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator
4. To Be A Virtuous Wife
5. The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir
6. The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort
7. Transmigrating into the Female Supporting Character with a Good Life in a Laid-Back Novel
8. Rebirth of a Star General (Zhou Ye's drama - Female General, the same writer wrote Malicious Empress and Ill-Fated Consort)

There are more, but you can start with these.

Lol, your pfp looked like KSH until I opened your profile.

I saw your pfp and was like, "well well well look who's talking". Thankfully I had the mind to check out your profile before responding to you. lol

But yeah, I completely agree with you. I read c-novels a lot, especially the ones set in ancient China. In most of them, they don't go around talking about the ages all the time, and also, if the FL was 14-15, the ML would be around 19-20 most of the times. And I can take that, as in the historical context, people matured early, and people died early too. But I really can't take FL being 14 and ML being 26. That's stretching it too thin for my liking, so I chose not to read this novel even though I am a fan of XK. I hope the drama not only changes the FL's age to 18, but also change the ML's age even younger.

I watched him in Perfect Match. He's one of the MLs of the drama, paired up with the youngest of the sisters.

WayV, I remember the group did an OST for FIYS.

Correct.

Tianqi is the ML in MM. That's Tianqi's and Yuemi's reincarnations as ML and FL of MM. At least that's the case in the novel the drama is adapted from.

They are related in the source materials. But they are stand-alones in the dramaland. So watch them as stand-alones.

Unless we submit the opening ceremony pictures, they won't add, is what I'm hearing.

That was how it was in the novel.

However, it makes more sense in the novel because the ML and the FL didn't know each other in the University. There was no flashback or anything like ML having some secret crush for the FL. It wasn't a sweet romance, it was a sensual romance that starts with their one-night stand.

If I'm not wrong, Linmon Media (producer of this drama) has a good reputation for producing top quality dramas. I'll just trust them to do the right thing.

I know what "noble idiocy" trope is, and I also hate it, but this drama ain't it.

It feels good to finally watch a C-drama that is up to date with the latest episodes on an official streaming platform and not on some random pirate platforms.
Where I live, Viki is as official as it gets for a streaming platform, and it often is not up to date with the latest episodes.

Xu Kai and Bai Lu have recently been given more freedom in selecting their own scripts. It looks like they have renewed their contracts with better conditions and more freedom.
It will take time for WXY to gain his freedom, since Yuzheng can't control Xu Kai anymore.

YuZheng had also been trying a lot to make Liu Xie Ning (actress playing first sister) happen.

I know this is a multiple-couple romance drama, but I still can't help but be duped.
Most of the promo relied on the third sister couple, and I understand that they can't always be the main focus of the drama, however, if you compare the first sister couple plot and the third sister couple plot, the third's couple plot in the first 10 episodes allowed the focus shift between second's and, in the end, even the first's. It incorporated a lot of other plots, and even introduced the fifth's plotline too, which I felt was reasonable. But when it came to the first's plot after episode 10, it's all been about the first sister couple, there's barely any development in the other sisters' plotlines. It's like, the other sisters are only there as a support, whereas when the third sister's plot was going on, the sisters and the mother were integral part of the plot. Here, they don't feel so.

The Blossoming Love was very good for the first 30 episodes, the last 10 episodes were disappointing.

I am about to start Perfect Match today.

Might watch The White Olive Tree too. This drama and ABAY drama original novels were written by the same author. So, I will wait for a few days to look at the people comments before jumping into it.

If you want to insist she is my 'BL', feel free to do so, lol. I have no qualms. I do actually like the actress, unfortunately, my liking for her mostly applies if she is co-starring with XK. The only dramas of BL I have watched that did not star XK were Love Is Sweet and Story of Kunning Palace. Even those two dramas, it took me more than a year since their respective airing to watch them.
I only came across the information about BL's transitioning when I was browsing YouTube where Marcus Here's new video had it on the title. I am yet to watch the video. But the title said everything that needed to be said.
