I feel like she will be the aunt, spoiling their children like crazy and telling stories about how mom and dad…
right? Youlan would present her nieces/nephews with the best impractical divine auntie gifts!! Iām also proud of her for not letting the other fan club members in on the secret⦠imagine the Furongās head viewing parties she could have? His head would be lumpy from all the extra viewings š¤£š¤£
Iām loving this series!! And then coming here to read the commentsā the mutual fangirling does not disappoint MDLers!
The romance, action, writing, acting- so so good! Can we also take a moment to appreciate the divine shipping? Furong and Youlan were annoying when presented as love rivals (as if!) ā but once they became shippers, they have been amazing characters! Heās trying to heal a god and keep secrets. And our Goddess is about to break her broās head to view the next installment of the romance from broās memories. She really is the Prez of XZās fan club! šš
My favorite scene today is when she's burning up with flames/pain, and dreams of XZ hugging her, not afraid and…
you know, I legit thought that the ātannedā look from yesterdayās previews would be because heās healing an amped-up phoenix in pain and heās getting roasted while healing her. Sheās just so⦠hot š
why not black dragon? ML is a black dragon according to the novel
I thought flying white/snow dragons were the rarest and most powerful in xanxia world (ref: TTOM and Love and Destiny) ⦠black dragon is more commonāso, those you cook, not good raw šš.
Loved loved loved these two episodes todayā and the series thus far. Itās so well written and ridiculously well acted.
The chemistry of the CP is unrealā if they existed in a real world, the aura of love and desire between this old god and his goddess of war would extend for miles around them (creating a horniness miasma?)
From the previews, tomorrowās episode may answer what few have dared to openly ponder: what does stewed mermaid taste like? And will SL want a unicorn burger next? white dragon tartare? š§ š¤š¤
Cute drama, I love that the last ep gives the OTP plenty of time (solid 22 mins) to enjoy themselves after all the bs endured. But before that⦠do yāall get the sense that the tabby kitty went out and somehow murdered the entitled psycho ex to āfixā the āfate debtā⦠and then came back to play? Gangsta! š³š³
I had no expectations and thus enjoyed the story (to the extent you can enjoy 8 episodes of the origin story of a human garbage detector turned vigilante). I kept thinking that if he goes back to college and studies forensic pathology, he can become Korean Dexter (was I alone in this?)
Itās a miss again though. Iām disappointed in WTODās performance lately. People are either dying from something…
š¤£š¤£š¤£Itās killed less people bc WTODās new agency wants to redo its image to expand future roles (i.e. fights on the roof truck (Uncanny Counter)⦠mafia fixer moving torture house (Deathās Game)⦠place where two self-healing mutants have an all out fight (Moving)⦠etc).
So up till 14 I didn't love her character but I didn't dislike her either. I loved her ability to speak about…
She told him āIām not Xu Nuoā⦠and heās still trying to play checkers with a chess player š¤£. If he is honest, he would just fess up that he wants the social status of being her partnerās husband (and having a mega rich father in law) but would love to have Xu Nuo as his mistress who loves him so he can also have a fulfilling sex life. The fact that he is lying to himself that this is what he truly wants (because he does not want to admit to himself that he is a scumbag and not the ānice guyā he sells himself as being)⦠well, thatās his baggage to unpack.

The way I see it, the position of her husband has certain perksā being her working partner with equity is one of them. I donāt see it as blackmail when she says: āthese are the perks that go to my husband, are you in or out?ā If PYA doesnāt want it, then why should he continue to derive the benefits she created? She is not taking anything away from himā he will continue to be a junior shareholder. Itās just that he really over-valued his input (he worked hard⦠he would have worked hard regardless but would not have received such a rapid financial growth without her fatherās money)⦠and she is giving him a reality check. In fact, I like how clear-cut she is with her terms and that she will not give him 10 years to enjoy the benefits she has provided without a firm commitment. Time is a currency and PYA treats it like he is the only one who can use it. I feel his partner just corrected his assumption but not really blackmailed him.
I also quite liked the writing in these episodes because it feels like PYA is getting his comeuppance. He has always used his better social status to define the terms of the relationship with Xu Nuo ā there is always the subtle blackmail to her that if they break up, her family will not be improved. The fact that it is now being done to him, that his familyās upward mobility is being used and that he can no longer set the terms of when and how a relationship goes is probably humbling and infuriating for him. Good.
Obviously there are big cultural differences that explain why our FL is breaking up not just with a man but with a family. She is messy, messed-up, selfish and conflictedāall ingredients of a good drama character. However, in watching this, I cannot help but recall the immortal words of wisdom of Queen Bey:
āI can't care less what you thinkā¦I need no permission, did I mention? Don't pay him any attentionā¦'Cause you had your turn but now you gon' learn what it really feels like to miss meā¦
'Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it ⦠Don't be mad once you see that he want it⦠If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it.ā
What did yuanzhou do for a living when he went undercover in the state of An?
State Official (bureaucrat) is his answer to Ruyi. He denies having been an escort or a paramour and even said heās not handsome enough to do that. Based on everyoneās cover up, that denial is highly suspect š§š§š§
I second all the love in this feed! This is by far my most fave story of a murder power couple and their journey to a healthy relationship of grown ups. Sure they plow through enemies and leave a trail of bodies behind⦠but work is work and love is love. I canāt wait until our CP builds their retirement love dungeon and our FL whips our ML for not taking out the garbage šš (also, the writers better give us a natural-assassin baby whoās just a whiz with knives and immune to poison).
This series is giving me everything: action, humor, romance, light palace intrigue. Iām now waking up to look for new chapters.
Also, was I alone in fearing for poor Miss Pei? The only reason our girl didnāt ride out to murder a letter-writing love rival was because her hit list has closer targets. These boys using jealousy games with Ruyi like sheās a palace maid is seriously misguidedā it could end up bloody. And Boss Ning not messing around because his childās mother wouldnāt like it? It was all awww and me thinking if he messes around Ruyi may whip him into agreeing to make more babies š¤£š¤£š
Ep 12 and Iām loving this drama thus far. Writing is solid, story pace good, CP chemistry works, humor AND fight…
But Iām especially loving the FL and her feral rawness. She may just kill our ML with her White Sparrow āpracticeā and then not touching him until heās ready to be her Baby Daddy. Our master spy handler may die of blue baā¦ahem⦠blocked qi š¤£š¤£.
