Conchiglia

His name Wu Zi Shu literally means a book without characters (words). So basically a character-less book 😆😆

Yeah, honestly it would've made a damn boring show if they had entirely based it on the novel. To adapt it into an interesting drama, these changes are necessary.

Out of syllabus experience loool 😆
I thought the same, he has only been in a male-only sect for the majority of his life, and then the first day he leaves and lands in Changan, he falls for the first woman he sets his eyes on 😆

If a sect has such stringent rules, defying it by leaving without notice or getting married may probably have serious consequences, like being hounded to be killed etc. Maybe he had to go there to fulfil this obligation so he's completely set free.
Or yeah, maybe he's just being a goody-two-shoes.

Yes, before the proposal he tells a bit about himself to WZ, saying he's from a humble background and has never desired anything much.
So he does do everything by the book, the introvert, nerdy kinda guy who doesn't want to offend anyone.
He used to live in the past, only after meeting her, he wants to focus on the future.

It even 'saved' him from the bird formation

He's WZ's intel guy

That was the sect's rule from more than a hundred years ago, the current leader spiked it to harm MZY even more.
These guys are trained to hide their cultivation aura, of course as the most senior one there, he knows how to hide the dark practices too.

I wouldn't mind a bit lol

I have a feeling that staff / truncheon is gonna come to MZY's help in a most unexpected way when he's in a dire situation, as it still takes him as master.

He wasn't a villain in the novel, and not even that prominent, just WZ's deputy

It was nicely foreshadowed both about WZS and about the leader of Changxi Palace. I'm sure most ended up saying to themselves "I knew it!!"

People here said the rest will be released on the 7th of September

Not in the novel, no. They get to know each other's identities at the same time after being married, due to an event where they had no choice but to use their powers to combat evil. However, since Changxi Palace and the Demon Market were not enemies in the novel, this doesn't cause a rift between the two of them and they harmoniously continue their happy married life fighting evil demons together.

🙌🏼

Who's the ML?

😆

Can a paper cut kill you?
Yes, WZS can kill you with a million paper cuts 😆

They deviated in this aspect from the novel, but that is something that has not been explained in the drama yet.

I guess he still has powers, and of course he's been trained for 18 years, that's not gonna go to waste just coz he lost his staff.
And actually most people aren't against them being together, it's just WZS, (coz he's obsessed with her) and the Changxi Palace (coz according to their rules, members do not marry), the demon elders do question her about it, that's coz no demon lord married a mortal before.

I'm a XK fan and was only waiting to watch MR because of XK, I hadn't seen anything with TXW before and she came as a pleasant surprise, I'm definitely going to look into other stuff she's in. And if you've just discovered XK, oh you're in for a treat!
