I really can’t understand why they cut so much of the main lead’s romantic storyline. It’s basically what is saving this show outside of poor Yi Wuyou fans. I get we lost a lot of the plot to censorship but I don’t believe the censors cut the romantic bits. I feel like that was production or Youku and they’re hiding behind the excuse of censorship.
We’ll supposedly get a kiss in episode 20 but I’m skeptical. It really feels like they wanted to keep the main leads relationship ambiguous to attract more fans but it seems to be doing the opposite.

I heard the vice couple are people from the production company so some people are complaining because they feel they’re using the show and the popularity of the leads to sell the 2nd couple instead. It is a bit outrageous though. I’ve never seen a drama calendar include kiss scenes or weddings of the vice couple. If the big wedding icon turns out to be them, I feel the drama might hit 9000 because people will be complaining so much in the barrage😂

I like Yi Wuyou but it’s hard to judge him because there’s so few of him. I feel really bad for the actor’s fans because they’ve been really sweet and supportive of the show even though it’s cut 98% of their fav’s story.
I thought the TruthMasters looked human. I swear the ones Bai Lu met as a kid were old dudes. Maybe they look like aliens then😂.
And I don’t know what’s up with the 2nd couple but they’re really pissing viewers off.

Congrats to SJFY passing the 8500 mark on Youku!!!🎊🎊🎊

It’s a shame. People are actually giving up on the drama now because of this. I went to look at how much is Yebei and it was so much that I feel I’ll be complaining to Youku again lol.

I thought it’s because he’s a villain and they’re not allowed to have any nice attributes anymore. So they cut the poor guy to pieces.

Actually it’s already lively today on Weibo without the 24th episode. Viewers are complaining about the vice couple because the wedding icon might actually be them. Pitchforks are out over it. It’s like a bonding experience that crosses international borders😂

The author of the book the show is based off made some comments that got him cancelled last year and that implicated the show. The show was part based off the book and part original storyline from what I understand. I suspect that a good chunk of the 11 episodes was his part of the story.

Just saw the episode 24 trailer. Things are about to get lively. Wonder who’s gonna get cussed out the most? 😂😂😂

It’s an S level drama so the budget wasn’t too bad. It’s really all the cuts that are messing things up. They cut 11 episodes out and then Youku chopped out even more. I think if we had the full version most of the stuff people are focusing on wouldn’t be as big. After seeing the disparity in quality of some scenes, I also think that the scandal messed up post production and if it didn’t happen this probably would have come out way more polished.

I think he lied too. Especially after seeing the most recent trailers. Tbh, I’ve always thought he lied but many people were saying A’Rui’s fall occurred in the repeat.

Are you watching on Youku? There’s definitely subs up until the latest episodes.

Lol,
Yeah the 2nd couple are a menace at this point.

Yeah a lot of the hate is definitely anti-FSF rhetoric. Someone warned about it while they were shooting but I didn’t take it seriously. Now I know it’s real. It also didn’t help that they pitted his show against his ex who has a strong fan base and even stronger marketing. And the FL is almost always compared to her first big role no matter what see does. It’s basically become the battle cry of her anti fans but some how has become legitimate rather than called out. Youku’s marketing didn’t help and that shows fans, the fans of the character, and the show pairing fans have been weirdly active in putting this show down to the point it boggles the mind. Plus two people involved in that drama, basically have created an entire marketing strategy that tries to say she can only work with them and they come out for pretty much every drama she does to suck popularity. So that also contributed to the mess. Then the complaining videos kicked in and once one went popular a rush of them have cropped up. It’s doing better than I expected though and I think what’s happening is people are watching on some level but that they won’t admit it because of the reputation of the show. Now the cuts are eating into enthusiasm but hopefully it’ll pick up steam to make it to the Top 3 on the charts.
Honestly if they fixed the editing the story is fine. A lot of the plot elements and plot holes seems like it’s down to cuts. I think the acting is definitely the best I’ve seen in a Cdrama fantasy this year and other than obvious anti fans I haven’t seen people trash that aspect.

I saw her use her powers for the truthmaster symbol but maybe she doesn’t have full usage yet. It could be a plot hole but I suspect the explanation has been cut.

Do you mean the main leads? Sorry I thought you meant the vice couple.

Yeah, her freedom is why I like this show so much. I’d hate to see it go. Apparently in the full version of this drama they have a more transitioned and nuanced process of her coming to like him.

It wasn’t really advertised beforehand for a lot various reasons and then it stopped airing due to the mourning period last week. It seems to be picking up steam though.

I wouldn’t say it’s a waste for the 2 leads. The 2 leads have the most screen time and the most complete storyline but a lot people don’t care for them. It’s one of the chief complaints being made about the show after the cuts on both Weibo and here. I personally skip their scenes too lol.

I wonder if Yezi will join the harem? I can see why Yu Xiuming was against Minister Fan’s suggestion. I think traditionally members of the harem weren’t allowed to be involved in politics and if she joined, her astrology career would be over.
