It’s never mentioned in the book. In fact, Wu Zhen passes away before MZY. No explaination, the book goes from them having their first child to like an epilogue many years in the future where their children are grown and MZY dotes on his granddaughter

It’s 梅逐雨 tho. No bamboo 🙂 but it works for his character

Feel the same 😮‍💨

Those were just rumours swirling when this whole thing first dropped

It’s quite clear he had many scenes cut

He isn’t a normal human. He can see the spirts and he’s a very powerful Taoist cultivator. In the book they have no conflict. The only thing different about her is she’s the Cat Lord and needs to manage the Demon Market. He will go and help her do tasks. They have no conflicts between them in the novel. From time to time some demon or her cousin stir up trouble but that’s all. They have a happy life.

I think Kai is just fine in this role. He portrays MZY pretty close to how he is in the book. I do agree about the chemistry thing tho. I know everyone will argue with me but, for example, usually Kai kissing scenes are very good but I’m not feeling them in this drama. Maybe it’s the way the director shot them and posed them but something just isn’t working for me. 🤷‍♀️

He is not and he does not in the novel. He just has always had the ability to see the supernatural in the book. In the book tho his father was the previous cat lord who saved Wu Zhen to pay a debt to Wu Zhens mother for saving Mei Zhuyu as a child

This doesn’t happen in the book

Woefully under utilized. Waste of his talent

Not true. They had to pass review before airing so they couldn’t make changes to the drama after it started

Some arrangement with his parents I think. The book is not heavy on cultivation just some small facts

It is later in the book after ch 70. I just read it over the weekend

Yes he did? There is a Changxi Palace in the novel both and Wu Zhen go there when they have their bodies switched.

In the book the Changxi palace crew have taken celibacy vow and abstain from alcohol. MZY was the equivalent of an outer disciple who was a once in a century talent. He was never meant to stay in Changxi palace much to his shifus dismay. So they made some small changes to this in the show for drama I guess

Actually it wouldn’t be the director. It would be the writer and editors

Post credit scene

Yes. Watch it and you can see. XZ had so many scenes cut it barely
Makes sense. HJY character adds nothing of value to the drama

But then the main characters would have more screen time! 😮 We couldn’t possibly show that

The longest 18 minutes of my life 🫠
