Oh this must be frustrating for Merxat to be second lead behind a child-actor with barely any acting experience. I really wish drama producers would start valuing acting skills over the idol-boy popularity factor so that we could all enjoy dramas with decent acting.

Give it a few days… I’m sure there will be English subs soon.

The plot is quite interesting and at times surprisingly different.
I really like the FL, she is quirky and cheeky in the early episodes, but without being annoying.
The plot suddenly turned very dark, that was a bit unexpected after the initial, rather light-hearted episodes.
I find the ML rather bland. He only seems to have a single facial expression and 5he dreamy-eyed trope gets very boring after a while. The “amnesia arc” has him overacting terribly and the babbling dim-wit he portrays is getting on my nerves. I hope he will come out of it soon. Now that many of the characters that I really liked have gone ( the FL’s dad was pure acting gold!) I need someth8ng more to keep me interested.

Watched 13 episodes so far and here are some thoughts…

Maybe when his fans grow up and stop attacking/insulting any of his female co-stars as being too old, to ugly too whatever. Even though I like watching his dramas I would hate to see him paired with any actress I like because of his toxic fan girls.

What do you mean with after a long time? He had a costume drama earlier this year…
If you don’t know what happened, Angelababy went to a show at the CrazyHorse nightclub in Paris and since such venues are frowned upon by the moral guardians in China she may be banned/cancelled/ghosted or whatever. Nobody seems to know for sure right know.
Seems that with the name also comes a baby brain… did she seriously expect that what happens in Paris stays in Paris?

I know. It’s very bitter for everyone involved to see their efforts wasted because of this. It seems that China cannot let go of its love for collective punishment.

I’m not too impressed with the acting of both leads in previous dramas, so won’t cry if this never sees the light of day, I just feel very sad for everyone who has invested time and energy in something that is condemned to collect dust in the archive. What a waste!

And now you were saved from her bad acting as it looks like she has been banned (at least for now).

Yes, it’s at the end of ep. 20.

I cannot remember exactly when the first kiss, but I guess it must be around ep. 14 or 15.
They get together at the same time. There are two breakups, one while the ML is still “in character” and one (obviously) when he regains his memories.
The FL has an admirer, but he becomes a loyal friend, so no triangle and the ML has a female friend who appears in the 2nd half and tries to come between them, but it is quite clear that the ML isn’t interested so she’s annoying only for a very short time.

Playing with swords and lasers… Some clown seems to think this is StarWars and AR has the right reaction…

I think he really likes dressing up, playing with swords and horses. Maybe there will be some more serious roles once he grows up….

Oh oh, this plot sounds a bit convoluted (or maybe it’s the translation…):
The first month in the world, Young Master Wuji held a marriage festival to find a lover for the world. On that day, Tang Xiaolu strayed into the marriage festival. It turned out that Young Master Wuji was the male protagonist in her spring dream!A man who couldn't help himself, Wuji mistakenly exposed Tang Xiaolu's face and made a marriage contract according to the regulations, but Wuji discovered that the woman in his arms was actually the commander of the Forbidden army who had been dead for three years and Wuji's fiancée.The successive murders were related to Tang Xiaolu and his life, which caused the death of his body.As the clues deepened, the truth pointed to the night of the Kingslayer three years ago.It turned out that the imperial City had already been destroyed, and the culprit of all this turned out to be her.......

If you’re looking for a synopsis, here’s what Douban had to say (machine translation):
Lin Wanqing is the new chief dart head of the Jianghu Dart Bureau. In order to make money to fulfil the master's last wish to revitalise the Dart Bureau, she was fooled by the black-hearted mother-toothed woman to sign a contract and sneaked into Dali Temple as a bodyguard to assassinate Dali Temple Qing Su Moyi. However, her identity was seen through by the thoughtful Su Moyi. In this period of "she acts" and "he pretends to be stupid", the two fell in love with each other. Su Moyi inferred the real purpose of the behind-the-scenes black man, King Liang, based on various signs, so he designed a fake death, pretended to be a husband and wife with Lin Wanqing, and sneaked into the enemy to find evidence. In the end, they successfully found evidence to stop King Liang's conspiracy, and "fake the play is real", and harvested unswerving love until death.

You have no idea how many people are jealous of that dog, Ruirui!! It gets hugged, fed and kissed all the time, while we don’t even get to hear his voice 😭😭😭

He’s generally so nice to his fans, I really don’t understand why he doesn’t want to do this for us 😢

Seconded! I would also add a 3rd wish and that is a co-star who can act!

Actually, there’s two from CZ… there’s also Wang Jui Sheng. Wasn’t he the horrible old sect leader? I also thought Chu Fu Bu looked familiar, but I didn’t make the connection. I guess I was quite successful wiping CZ from my memory 😂😂😂

Usually it takes pretty good actors to play the villains , unlike many male leads who just need to look dreamy for little fan-girls to swoon over the drama.
It is nice to see that LYN's talents are recognised and he is getting lead roles.
