Same here, but I think I'm going to pause for a few days because as this is getting intense I don't want to get stuck on a nail-biting cliffhanger.

I think he only has "accepted" the baby because it can be useful to clear her poison, but what are they're supposed to do with the butterflied baby?? I don't see a baby going through 3 years of detox by drinking black peony soup...

This "transferring to poison to the baby" plot is exactly the same as that in Princess Silver - are the writers running out of ideas??

Uploaded pictures, where are the snacks????

She is so dumb that it hurts me watching her.

Interesting! I will have to watch that first episode again...

Just looking dreamy isn't enough to carry a 30-episode drama. After an interesting start this show falls into the usual xianxia cliches of endless misunderstandings, lack of communication (and brains) and antagonists without any proper motivation.
Acting-wise, the SML seems to be leagues ahead of everyone else. He is so good at playing the evil guys!!!!

He had a good turn-around in TLB, though. I like this kind of complex characters and he is quite good at playing them...

What is the connection with this drama?? Or are you just randomly posting stuff about Chinese astrology?

Fingers crossed! He deserves this!

I know that. The vegetarian couple was just an example for the use of "vegetarian" (in the sense of not doing something) by translation engines.

They really ought to put up some barriers and warning signs on those cliffs in China. There seem to be a unbelievable number of people falling off them...

😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is soo funny!! You've cracked the formula and have a great imagination... I see a brilliant future as a script-writer in my crystal ball...

I think "vegetarian" is the machine translation code for not doing something. I remember in the novel behind Unchained Love the enuch-woman couples were called "vegetarian couples". Just my interpretation, though...

I've heard that they increased her part compared to the novel so some things may be different. I just hope this isn't the usual annoying-SFL-who-cannot-die trope that continues until the last agonising episode.

I was a bit disappointed with him in that scene. I prefer my MLs with a bit more "bite". He feels like a wet blanket 😩

Almost all the background scenery looked so incredibly fake that it was a shock to the eyes.
It doesn't bother me, though, because the story is good and the acting is good.
Even a perfect CGI couldn't keep my interest if the story was boring or abstruse (there's been a few dramas like that, lately).

Yeah, that was pretty funny. I think he went there exactly for this reason - he needed someone to help him see things clearly...

Yep, and the opening scene of ep 11 confirms my suspicion: if this mountain is reserved for the descendants of the Han and the Di family would the CP who is such a stickler for rules really bring an outsider there???

Frankly, after watching ep. 10 I get the feeling he knows already and he is playing with her. There were two situations where he quite openly provoked her by mentioning the Di family to see her reaction...
