Regarding your article: I'm so glad you wrote this! Not many writers are brave enough to write critical articles on certain dramas or topics. Looking back, while researching for my previous series, after browsing through hundred of pages of MDL articles rarely I saw such articles. Probably, we writers (yes, me too included) tend to be in the safe side, recommending a topic/drama while overlooking its flaws. From my observation, negative reviews on popular dramas tend to get criticism as well. Regarding the drama: Like you, I wanted to watch this drama solely because of Lin Yi as well, having liked him since PYHOMS. But after watched Episode 1 of this drama I dropped it. The obvious huge age gap doesn't work for me (I'm not talking about the real age difference, but the characters' age difference). In my personal view, they just don't look good together, which is my must criteria for a romantic drama. Lin Yi has a cute baby face. Lulu Xu ought to be paired with a younger actor who has a mature look. I'm so done with noona romance. Hopefully, Lin Yi's two next dramas with Landy Li will be better, cos I dropped The Blessed Girl, too.
What a wonderful journey, thank you for sharing through this very intimate and heartwarming article! I love your…
Thanks... but I'm not a veteran writer... if you're looking for one, Old_Anime_Lady, for example, has written tons of article. My article list has not even passed the first page, lol.
Nice article, Anushka! Let me just answer your questions ;D Journey: My writing journey started when I was so enthusiastic after watching Cross Fire that neither reviewing nor spamming the Feed section was enough I had to write an article about it. That kind of enthusiasm keeps repeating every time I start a new article. Problem: Lose that excitement that I am no longer interested and delete the draft. Writing slump: Keep the momentum going by keep writing a little everyday. Though there is no deadline I make a deadline myself. Tip: You probably are amazed by other's article you are afraid to start or keep writing. Be yourself and find your uniqueness in content, writing style, and design. I even found a simple editorial article without picture/GIF/deco that is well-written and thought provoking ;D
Long Yan marries Liu Ying off with another guy for a reason I cannot tell you unless you want a spoiler. Yes,…
Long Yan found out that Liu Ying's spirit to be used to mend the tear in heavenly net that was created long time ago to hold an evil spirit to break free. For some reason Liu Ying and her mistress Hou Xue's spirits are tied together. So if one dies the other dies too. When Hou Xue went for a trip, she was attacked by demons and died. Long Yan went to Luo Feng Pavillion to get Hou Xue's spirit back. That is a heavenly place for mortals before reincarnate. The Pavilion guardian, Qian Xun, told him that per heaven's law, to revive Hou Xue, Long Yan has to marry her. No other option. So Long Yan created a clone of him to marry Hou Xue, but he himself cannot marry Liu Ying as he has to remain unseen to her. Then he marries Liu Ying off as per reason I explained to Devi rajmohan above. That is Liu Ying's first life. I'm at Ep 10 when she died naturally and reincarnated. The ep ends with Long Yan and Qing Qing went to a place to find her reincarnation (second life). I haven't seen what the reincarnation looks like (what she does). I hope this doesn't discourage you to watch, the romance is beautiful but heartbreaking imo

ok... Long Yan found out that in the future a disaster will happen in Xia's family (where Liu Ying works) that their men will be killed and their women will be raped and taken as slaves (probably war). Also that the other guy has a bright future. So he marries Liu Ying off for her to avoid that. Long Yan himself cannot marry Liu Ying because he has to marry Xie Hou (Liu Ying's mistress) for another reason.
Why does the female lead marry another guy in a certain episode? Does she & this guy become a real couple or is…
Long Yan marries Liu Ying off with another guy for a reason I cannot tell you unless you want a spoiler. Yes, she and the other guy becomes a real couple in her first life time. I don't know about her other 3 life times though.
Oh lol... the person never replied back, I was completely confused what he/she meant. You can find the image everywhere in the net, but it's taken from the final episode.
