Hey! I only submitted an edit here ONCE !!!!!!
And it was not a page long. But ..... let it go.
I don't know why you feel you need to answer in mocking way to me.

Yes, the new edit doing away with Bai Cai can stand as is. It whets appetite for the series even if it does not focus on the entire series.

The person who got approved had originally written an edit to a first synopsis version, but had "Bai Cai" as main character, and corrected it to "Shen Li" just before I submitted an edit. Several commenters had noticed the mysterious Bai Cai as I did: probably the person mixed up SL with the main character in Burning Flames. But they submitted a second edit to correct their mistake, so my edit was not approved.

In answer to sandrusca's request that I submit a new version, I did, but it was turned down because the synopsis had "already been updated" : the original poster just changed the erroneous name and that was it. Since at least it now had the correct name, I did not argue. You know what I think about updating those dramas pages on MDL, be it cast or else... Well, as you said on EB1, "they are understaffed".

Ty, I had watched it yesterday on my phone app, but when I tried to find it with the Youtube search function it stubbornly refused to appear. Pinning it now into notes. 🤣

Nice, long, and interesting (1hr+) Let's hope it will soon appear subtitled so everyone here can check it out somewhere else.

Just you. To me, they only felt like natural introduction to the "hermit's" compound : he was not creating beauty, only placing stones in magical arrays to suppress the fowl regaining her magical powers and shape shift into comely but annoying female.

Li Ziqi looks like she has given up regaling viewers with her countryside fairyland videos, and has not taken the camera again for over two years due to suing the company that milked her work, used her name with no restraint, and let her unprotected when haters targeted her because of problems with products that were marketed with no regard to her knowledge or approval. She was naive when she signed the contract with them... It got ugly when her grandma also took flak, although she was over 80 and ailing. So she sued.
I am not sure if LZQ got vindicated.
(I was fond of her delicious, artistic videos, made from hard toil and few means, but that does not mean every shot of countryside can be copied or influenced from her work. Perhaps Don't Disturb Me Farming mini drama is closer to LZQ work and beliefs in eco agriculture).
Those who don't know her past work can find it on Youtube or in two episodes that WeTV keeps in the catalogue.

agree, except Ke Da was a plucked phoenix and resembled a pheasant more than a chicken

You must have adored in the past One and Only, and A Journey To Love too ? 😅 (I did, anyway).

It varies. Jinmi of AoL was not born from an egg but from her goddess of flowers mother in a deadly childbirth. But Runyu was a mix of fish and dragon, while Xufeng was presumably hatched from an egg since he was a phoenix himself + his Heaven Empress mom was from Bird Realm and Heaven Emperor dad was a dragon. In The Last Immortal, Yuan Qi's origins remained mysterious so his birth form was not revealed, but it did not look like he was hatched from an egg, whereas Feng Yin was, and very publicly so, since she was a phoenix (how she also was a Water Beast and had a sister with no connection to feathers but a nice big egg remained puzzling to me and grating as a plot hole), so I assume Shen Li was hatched too, although the pearl addition is puzzling. In the Starry Love there did not seem to be much shape shifting, "original form", and no mention of Divine eggs.

His reputation is high but his appearance is not famous and he likes to go about unnoticed, except when he's got a reason to make it clear that his wishes are in fact commands. So most don't know who exactly he is, even young rebellious teenager like Furong Jun.

Yes, even not having read the books, that was my feelings when I saw the first episodes and up till episode 12 today... Well played actually !
Those who want a quick fix of steamy love & kisses will be disappointed of course. But me, I am enjoying all involved and Lin Gengxin's act here!

Chicky is totally out of character both for her and from him!
Cluck Cluck was a good translation of ke ke da / ke da onomatopoeia.
Cute, funny, engaging, jocular but not too haughty, whereas Chicky sounds wrong, as if emphasizing gender discrimination and harassment when he had no sentimental interest in the fowl or fairy.

Also look at this, posted earlier by Peachey Blossom !
碧苍战歌 (Battle Hymn of Bi Cang) - 杨秉音 (Yang Bingyin)《与凤行 The Legend of Shen Li》【片头曲 Opening Song】: https://youtu.be/Hqt_2l_Vo1I
It's the last OST on the list that we were waiting for. With choirs.

Thanks for having found it 👍😘❤ There was an orchestral recording played by Budapest Film Symphony Orchestra. for Chinese TV before, with a slightly different name "碧苍之名" but without choirs. I also thought it was a version of the battle song that was on the OST listing but still unreleased , it's the same melody yes , but this version is the one we were waiting for : short but nice !

He has composed more than 100 independent lyrics and music, and his works have been included and published in recordings by well-known artists in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

He became especially famous for his composing for animated or live action dramas and hit movies.
Among those, he also composed 不知返 (Bu Zhi Fan, No Turning Back) sung by Wang Heye 王赫野 ❤for the Legend of Shen Li, which you already included in your translated videos.

the Xutian Abyss.
More about it and the geography of that universe as revealed up till now :

From my Notes in Discussions part above, :
Chimei 魑魅 is a man-eating mountain spirit
The phrase 魑魅魍魉 Chīmèi wǎngliǎng refers to "evil spirits, demons and monsters - all sorts of evil persons", and in fact specifically three sorts : .魑 Chi is a sort of yellowish dragon, 魅 Mei is a seductive forest spirit, (魍魉 Wangliang is a water demon.) So 魑魅 is an evil spirit here, or in the modern-day common usage "all kinds of evil people".
It first appeared as a shape shifting poisonous fiend with a snake like tail that could sting that swallowed SL who dived between its fangs before hacking her way out from its belly with her lance ; despite that it was not even killed and just returned to the Xutian Abyss.

BTW I nevertheless gave it a try and submitted that new synopsis, duly editing out controversial ideas. So... in wait for what will happen.
Meanwhile I'll watch some more of the two other dramas I'm busy with, so clocking off here until tomorrow!
Have a nice day or night, wherever you are seated ! Or a nice weekend if you are doing other things. I may be busy elsewhere too this weekend...

Ooops don't worry, it probably was Baidu referring to Xing Yun's death from old age that allowed him to get back to Extranatural Heaven as a God! No reason to fret or be rattled : it's forecast as a HE.

That would conform to the idea that in xianxia death is not always final ! 😂 😛 Just like "taking a vacation in Mortal Realm" lol
But yes, let's hide these comments if some are rattled by the word.
Btw. Thinking. Perhaps it referred just to Xing Yun's death of old age which allowed him to return as God to his own Heaven !!!
