Love Game in Eastern Fantasy - ep 17 37:47
Historical style flower shops.

Why was it deleted by iQiyi?

How scary is this?

The episodes 28 - 32 just show the timer at 0 for me.

Kisskh countdown timer has run down to 0. Any clue when episodes will be available? Hoping we get them all as well!

Yes, I understand that. However, they have mentioned that they have seen all 32 episodes so I was wondering if it meant all episodes have dropped.

Have all episodes aired because some of the reviews have already marked the series as having seen all episodes?

Also if you do finish watching the series, please mark your comments as spoilers for us poor folk. 😇

FL has panic disorder

Mr. Bad

There is also a bug in the system which makes her end up seeing the end of the novel.

Probably till the end but they might drop the rest in a go for paid members.

Two of my theories turned out to be correct. Zigi's mother gave him the ribbon and it was a spell that took away his memory.

Other theories:
- The crescent resembles a pen and might imply Ziqi also has a real version outside of this story. Else I don't really see a "happy ending". He might be the author MiaoMiao refers to claiming he is her favourite.
- So far The Resentful Woman has not appeared. She is also a Tier demon like Ziqi. Though everyone seems to imply that Ziqi's mother was killed but the rumours he heard as a child was that she was captured. It's very possible that her ordeal turned her into The Resentful Woman and once she reunites with Ziqi, he will be able to help her be good again. She will probably be given the bracelet then. If she was dead, they wouldn't really involve the bracelet because it would be a meaningless plot point.
- MaioMaio's memory tear might help her to recall her forgotten memories. It is still strange that the system hasn't given her further missions.
- The Master is the SFL's father's friend. But why does he want to hide his core self? Is he also part demon?

Made some adjustments to my original theory that I posted here:

Yup. Glad I'm not the only one who sees it. :)

The ending confused me a bit and wasn't really required but it doesn't ruin the series. Overall I genuinely enjoyed the show. Their chemistry was cute. I like that they didn't have some of the annoying tropes of romance dramas and most troubles are resolved fairly quick. Although they did have those tropes for the second couple which could be why not everyone enjoyed their relationship as much. It's a nice light drama for those who like this kind of genre. And even if you don't, it's a cute one.

What if Ziqi gives the bracelet to The Resentful Woman and she becomes his loving mother again?

Also the crescent doesn't seem to be for fighting her because MiaoMiao's doppleganger (?) was shown flying into the sky with it.

I still feel like the crescent looks like a pen. XD

Great! Thanks!

Today's episode was slightly better but I really need a bulk dump of the remaining episodes. I'm getting impatient. I wonder if I should take a break until few more episodes air.

I have a few theories after ep 24:
The crescent that Ziqi wields looks a lot like a pen (symbolic?). And MiaoMiao is also shown in the past as holding it. Obviously time in the fictional world and the real world flow quite differently so it can make sense it was her in the past. It's possible the author wrote her into the past after she started to alter the original.
It makes me wonder if the real author is Ziqi is real life. The author making himself as the saviour would make sense. It would also help them meet in real life if he is a real person and the character is based off of his own self in terms of personality.
Regarding Ziqi's background, they have already revealed that his mother was a demon. Coincidentally, we haven't seen The Resentful Woman yet. Perhaps she is resentful because their home was destroyed by the empress. And they turned her into a villain for daring to love a human man. She may have also been the one to provide Ziqi with the ribbon to protect him from being hunted. He may have lost his memory because of a spell the way his father did or MaioMiao did.
The thing that confuses me is how did MaioMiao end up forgetting her real world and the system hasn't contacted her or given her any new assignments? Didn't she contact the system after the bracelet incident for the additional power? Or is it that she doesn't understand that at some point she was the original author so it makes sense that she was the one who originally stopped the heavenly disaster.
Regarding the master, maybe he is hiding his true form because he is either a demon related to Ziqi (his grandfather?) or he is part of the system/related to the author which is why he has so much knowledge. Or both. An inspiration of the author's real life family member.

Let me know what you think of these theories. :)

Does anyone feel like the plot is moving much more slowly than it did before or is it just me? I did binge 22 episodes but I feel somewhere around the whole bracelet and the princess drama, the story was far too slow. Even now, they are really taking things slow with the master being secretive and elusive. And there are only 8 episodes left. They appear to be leaving everything for the final 3 - 4 episodes. I'm trying to be patient because I want to know if my theories hold any merit.

Okay, thanks. :)
