No. There are other characters like/love them, but the couple don't love other characters since the start.

Sorry for the late reply. MDL website crashed. It's not about a bad ending. As I replied to your original post somewhere, I was already bracing for the worst ending. In fact, in the extra episode Ep 27, the couple reunited. It's an HE, tho I don't understand why they don't insert it in the main drama episodes.

Now, why I blacklist the screenwriter:
As you know this is an original screenplay. The screenwriter has the freedom to create his/her own story as long as it complies with NRTA requirements. That being said, IMO, the screenwriter put too much into a drama that is only 26 episodes. I don't know how many episodes they planned in the beginning. At first, I thought it was bad editing because of that many cuts. But, if the screenwriter didn't put too many subplots into the script, we wouldn't see cuts and scenes too short to understand. For example, the screenwriter put extra subplots after 2/3 of the drama with a guy who suddenly loves Jiu Ling out of nowhere, but so deeply he would die for her. Or that crazy princess who drools over Rong Yu (your reply to my post agreeing on the subject of the married MLs). Those two subplots don't need to be in the drama, because the main story/romance itself is already heavy with the heartwrenching romance and revenge.

I'll give you a metaphor. Someone cooked you a steak meal. The steak is well-prepared and delicious (the romance). The person included vegetables to balance the meat (the He and Rong family background, the revenge). Then the person also added steak sauce/gravy that is too thick/fatty/sweet/spicy to your liking (unnecessary scenes, characters, subplots). The gravy ruins such a good steak.

Watch other dramas. If you don't have much time, there are quite decent short-length Cdramas with good ending. Many of them with great chemistry and steamy kissing scenes, then you'll understand where babies come from. 😂😂😂 Unlike this drama, you have to hunt down the deleted bed scene to accept how they end up with a daughter, lmao!

By this time I replied your comment, you probably already watched the extra ep. Now let's see if they'll sub it, cos I want to know what Rong Yu said to Jiu Ling.

I put the screenwriter Lian Sheng (莲生) on my blacklist. Don't let me see this person's work again! 😒😒😒

Same here. Song Yi Ren and Wang You Shuo saved the drama.

😭😭😭

Ikr... I hate this stupid trope in costume Cdramas. When will they leave married MLs alone, when they are 50 with 5 kids??? 🤦🤦🤦 This is the third 2023 Cdrama I watched with crazy princesses drooling over the married Male Leads. In one drama, they even torture the FL by crushing her fingers cos she doesn't want to give up her husband (ML). In the other drama, they threatened to punish the ML's whole army (he's a general) if he refuses the imperial marriage edict. Now, when I watch a costume drama where ML and FL get married early and there is a princess character in the cast list, my stomach always churns.

That comes out of the blue, like we're confused that he actually likes her? Where's that come from? The characterization for some supporting characters are underwhelming imo.

Sorry, I have no knowledge of the disease. I thought so, but the synopsis says "In a battle against death, Gu Yun Zheng will race against fate and time to try and save her from this incurable disease." so I assumed he found a cure for her. So will she die in the end?

Is she cured in the novel?

💋kh uploaded all with good subs now.

I found the synopsis from Douban. But MDL doesn't accept Google-translated synopsis, unfortunately, only if it's already in English and posted somewhere else. I posted it above so anyone can read it.

Synopsis from Douban, Google translated:
Stuntman Su Xiaoxiao (Ke Ying) deliberately gets close to the movie star Fang Min (Song Zhao Yi) to get rid of Fei Mingxuan (Chen Xin Hai), trying to find evidence of his mistakes to force him to leave, and staging a classic wrong love with him. Little did they know that this was a conspiracy by Su Xiao Xiao’s boyfriend Tang Song (Li Bo Yan). It turns out that Tang Song had been wandering between Su Xiaoxiao and Fang Min, deceiving the two women's feelings, intending to use Su Xiao Xiao to bring down Fei Ming Xuan, and a 'trick within a trick' was secretly staged. With the help of Fei Ming Xuan, Su Xiao Xiao recognized the true face of Tang Song and revealed his conspiracy... Fake drama and true love finally found their own palette in this drama.

Hahaha... Ke Ying and Kay Song swapped faces again!

I thought about that 'betrothal' between the Crown Prince (now Emperor) and Jiu Ling's daughter. But that's like a huge age gap now. He proposed it before, cos his father said Jiu Ling and Rong Yu would have daughter in 10 months, lol!

Wow... HOT!!! 🤤🤤🤤🔥🔥🔥

Douban rating is not open yet, but mixed reviews. Some negative reviews are about bad plot (screenwriting) and editing. Some positive reviews are about great acting of Song Yi Ren and Wang You Shuo.

I have a hunch Song Yi Ren's My Special Girl will come out soon since her costar there Leon Zhang has a drama airing now The Furthest Distance. The Cdrama trend is one actor's dramas come out one after another if the first drama succeeds.

Which Wang You Shuo's drama with a daughter? I'm waiting for The Legend of Taotie. His costar there An Yue Xi was absolutely hilarious as an alien in Let's Shake It! with Zheng Ye Cheng. I would love to see her again. She is another underrated actress imo.

Ikr... confusing... I already skimmed through Ep 21-26 and also Ep 27 all in raw. Will rewatch again with proper sub later. I hope someone sub Ep 27 (the one on bilibili). I think what he said is important to know.

Why she look old in Ep 26 (like the one at the market when hiding from him) and younger in Ep 27 when they meet again with their daughter? Does she get better?
