also is the crown prince really his kid??and as they're in a novel,and some people are saying he got into the…
I haven't read the novel but I watched the vertical drama when it first came out last year and followed the story of the animation the year before (as much as I wanted to just watch it my brain won't let me enjoy the style of Chinese animation most of the time no matter how hard I try 😭)
FL transmigrates in after watching drama. The system informs her that her goal is to turn the ML demonic and have him kill her. Naturally she doesn't agree with this and sets about becoming a 'good' Master for her Disciple instead of a Villianous one and allow him to Ascend rather than become a Demon. The plot then follows them gathering his soul fragments as his inner past self demon tries to convince him she doesn't like him and will leave him.
Major fan of Guan Yue but I liked this overall. It has a mix of 'Seducing the Buddhist Monk' along with 'Clinging…
The FL has a sister who is 13 years old. The father tries to sell her in to marriage but is caught by FL and thwarted. Later when she is brought home by FL though she "seems" to be trying to seduce the ML and acting like a typical scheming woman... at 13 years old 🥲 (ML has ZERO interest in her obviously but it was still a "WAIT... What am I watching" moment)
Major fan of Guan Yue but I liked this overall. It has a mix of 'Seducing the Buddhist Monk' along with 'Clinging to Brother-in-law for protection' tropes. There were a few over the top WTF moments that had me looking up the director after and going OH IT'S THIS GUY 🤣 - There was one spot specifically that might have viewers turn the vertical off so I'll put it in a spoiler below. Overall though, a solid "mid-level" vertical.
This was a rather good one. There were definitely some "okay, sure" moments but overall the story flowed well enough. Simp ML Emperor calling the FL Jiejie was adorable 😅. Like several of Wang Peiyan's works this has him being forced to study and being forced to sign a contract so if you like watching him suffer with those tropes you'll like at least part of this 😉.
all gone,the vertical drama wardens have been busy :(
🤣 Okay you couldn't find anything about a part 1 either... I remember the other Part 2 one that came out where I spent like 2 hours trying to verify that I wasn't crazy and there WAS no part 1 🤣
This is cute enough in theory but the biggest issue is that it is edited horribly making for a bit of a headache when you try to follow what's happening and why...
Wait no 🤣 SHE didn't become Empress... her FRIEND became Empress. The one from the school... she caught the eye of the 4th Prince when she spoke up for FL against the 2 mean girls.
https://youtu.be/KboM69oHgf0?si=nOc_OLO--negE5Ah (RAW) I didn't do a FULL side-by-side comparison but I found 5 scenes for sure 1) 00:05:50 - after the scene of her being a ghost she says in a voice-over "Until 7 days later when he was assassinated, he'd already become emaciated." Uncut has this voiceover dialog being said over a scene of his fighting off several assailants on a deserted area while cut version moves dialog to overlap with the ghost scene. 2) 1:08:39 - he kisses her while she's asleep (this is referred to but not seen in shorter versions when they are thinking about her lips looking swollen. 3) 2:29:19 - in the study after he pats her shoulder he stands up but then puts his hand back on her shoulder and slides it down her waist. She looks up at him. 4) 2:53:00 - when pretending to be drunk after she blots his face with her handkerchief he grabs her hand and pulls her into his lap sliding his hands around her waist. She "hmmphs" 😅 looking away and he brings his head in to the side of her face cutting away as it alludes to him kissing it. 5) 2:57:32 - after she spoons medicine into his mouth he grabs her hand and leans his head in with a spotlight behind them. Camera shows her dropping the bowl of medicine to the floor.
It’s quirky and funny . Not your regular story . I want to see what the story arc is like. Right now the FL…
Glad you're liking it... I watched a couple episodes and felt like my brain was melting with how generic and uninterested I was so sadly I'm going to have to agree with the other commenter. Within less than 10 minutes even the filter they were using had be cringing with how 'generic' it was. I'm literally watching Holy Pearl from 2011 right now and the FL THERE is giving me the exact same vibes with similar vocal tone and dialog as the FL HERE and that one I'd have dropped also if SHE were the only draw (I'm instead invested in every one ELSE since it's an Inuyasha adaptation.)

I give it a 6.5

It just finished on the Feb 1st so you don't even have to wait for the daily updates 🤣
