It’s in the middle part of the story but a lot of the earlier set-up is starting to kick into gear and a lot of the questions people were asking in the front are starting to get answered now. Same with the details. The big mystery of NSY hasn’t been solved yet but I think that will come in the latter third of the story. Episode 15 and 16 were really good, the best episodes so far in almost every way. And it looks like the sugar is going ramp up now that the couple have feelings for each other and this director doesn’t skimp.
I’m actually surprised by how much Tencent allows concerning this show. Youku would have cut so many scenes.

Y’all
Don’t sleep on the plot of this drama because it’s a simple light comedy with a few logic blips-it’s really full of details. I went to rewatch the beginning of the drama and saw the scene when Jiman kidnaps NYX’s horse and at the end of the note she says she’ll kill the horse and eat it. Then, there’s a later scene with NYX’s two friends telling him anything that happens in his household eventually leaks out to the general public., which occurs after his two friends discussing a distorted version of the paddling event. Later on when Ling tries to slander Ji Man, he uses the rumor of her killing horses and eating the meat.
Jiman plays like it comes out of nowhere but it actually has a clear connection to earlier events in the plot.

I have feeling this is a change made by the director. Other parts of the script Ji Man is quite logical except for this part which basically makes NYX seem heroic every time. I heard a lot of the changes made in JJL that people disliked were his doing too.
The first I don’t think was too big a deal because by all rights the story suggested the coast was clear and it’s not like she actually ran to him. She made it a few steps before a supposedly dead assassin caught her. The second time though it should have been that the fight came to her. That would have been way more emotional.

Oh, I don’t use Tumblr and can’t seem to access that page. In terms of differences the biggest difference between the book and the drama is the drama beautified LCY and gave XF’s ending more meaning than she had in the book.
I would skip the main book and read the side stories. With the exception of Sese’s side story, they’re less cruel. Watching the drama, its script was more than likely based on the side stories otherwise LCY would be completely flat.

I don’t think there’s an English language one but there are plenty in Chinese. To this day, there are still debates about the drama that get quite a few comments.
For the novel, it’s much crueler than the drama because it’s from Xiao Feng’s perspective but the side stories aren’t. If you can’t stand the main story, the side stories are quite poignant. I think the one thing that will be missed by not reading the book is understanding how and why Xiaofeng fell for Gu Xiao Wu. The Xizhou period is much sweeter in the book.

Weibo has been basically posting Xiao Feng videos every day since the show aired. It’s tragic😑

Haha,
Are you serious? That’s hilarious 😂 Shouldn’t they be posting about their latest hit show? Not even Tencent is posting about RoaTF and it’s like this.

Love the rivalry between the two maids. It’s really cute😂

Girls fighting girls for a man =X
Girls fighting girls for a woman = O

He’s been looking for NSY since episode 9. Like an earlier poster mentioned, he’s not in the area where she fell so things are probably slower. To add to that in todays episode, we learn that Jiman could get in trouble if the court realises she’s not NSY so the investigation probably also needs to be very careful.

The plot is pretty good but it is all in the details- it takes a lot of paying attention to catch the foreshadowing.

Woa!!!!! 😮😮What if she was there as a plant from the beginning!? That it was all a setup from Ling for NYX to find her there in that state….that would be wild.

For some reason they don’t do it for PXR. Her list is filled with dramas she hasn’t filmed. If that is their drama, they haven’t shot it yet.

I think it’s difficult for foreigners to get a Weibo account. If you use the Google app on your phone, you can access Weibo and it will translate for you and you won’t need an account if you’re just reading stuff.

That’s a rumored drama and the rumor is quite old meaning it’s probably not true for now. This page doesn’t always verify a drama before it uploads them to the artist’s page.

No, I don’t think so. This should be it for them. Ryan Ding has a drama with Yang Chaoyue though.

Luckily, she only has one more drama with them for now. I hope she can work with other platforms in the future. Youku has been sucking her blood for too long without giving her any decent resources in return. I’ve always thought one of Youku’s biggest mistakes was not propping her up during her low period like Tencent propped up ZLS in her early days. Though she doesn’t seem to have a lot of fans on the surface, there are a lot of people who will watch at least an episode or two for her. Give her the proper set-up and I’m sure she would deliver hits.

Yeah, it was Japan. I didn’t post the country because I was afraid passerby might think I was confusing Japan with China. Was it the whole country or just Tokyo and Kyoto?

You have to follow her Chinese fans on Weibo when they post clarification posts. Her story really impresses. She left her successful job as a host to be become an actress and fought to stay in acting to prove herself/repay FBB’s kindness. It’s such a shame sometimes, no one expected her to have acting skills and FBB really seemed to have set her up to be a Top 90s xiaohua. Who knows kind of productions she could have starred in if she had the backing.

Damn,
Youku must really hate this show for weakening its grip on the Peng Xiao Ran/Xiao Feng/GMP money bag😂. So many anti posts on Weibo trying to pull people back into GMP or trying to trash it with its latest show. It’s really ex-boyfriend texting “how you been?” energy.
