Interesting. I heard he lost weight for the role, and ZLY insisted for him to be the male lead. I appreciate seasoned…
I feel like Xianxias in general got hate until 10 Miles Peach Blossom (I could be wrong; it felt that way to me), and you're right about the negative reviews. Genre had a lot working against it: confusing storylines, literally sh*t CGI, and actors that don't act well/look good facing green screens.
P.S thanks! I couldn't resist, I loved the picture. I had to put aside my love for XiangLiu (until season 2 Lost You Forever comes out).
The significance of the scene where he first says he will protect her, and she says "In the past, there was no Xing Zhi". Not "no one" or "no man", but "No Xing Zhi." It's crazy that he's literally probably the only man that wants to protect her, and has the ability to do it.
I love this drama a lot. I've read translations of, I think, six Jiu Lu Fei Xiang novels and I've watched almost…
As a very avid cnovel reader, I agree with you. While I think LBFAD is a fantastic drama, there are so much different It's barely similar. I've only encountered 2 fantastic adaptations, and that is Lost You Forever, and The Legend of Shen Li. Both unfinished as of now *clutches heart*.

Honestly only recent years it gravitated towards pretty boys who can be in Xianxia roles. We had so many more mature MEN before, like Chang Chen in Love and Destiny, Mark Chao in 10 Miles Peach Blossoms, William Chan in Novoland: Pearl Eclipse, etc etc. Suddenly in the 2020s we got only the young early 20s, Dylan Wang, Xu Kai, Wang Anyu, Neo Hou. The trend just got younger and younger! I hope this drama brings back mature actors to this genre, and they even made this xianxia genre refreshing again.
So he true love is always the wife. The last life he was torn and caused all that harm to lotus demon and then…
Uhmm the way it seems is, true love is whatever soul was in the wife when he was Gu Chengjin. In the current life, soul seems to be Jing Xi (with Xiao He's face). So he got the ability now to look past the face, and find her.
I think his true love is the soul that was not lotus demon in the last life.The face is different this time (swapped),…
When XZ used his powers to wake up Jing Yan, he turns into his original soul, which is Ancient God Qingye. XZ says he will restore some of Qingye's powers in Jing Yan (the mortal body) so he will have purification powers, and the realization to recognize his true love (the woman whom he gave up his powers for, but was punished to miss her each lifetime). After this , you see Jing Yan more clear about who he wants to be with, which is Jing Xi in this lifetime. Then when Shi goes away, you see the lotus tattoo on her wrist. So each lifetime, he was stuck between each girl, causing both harm. Last lifetime, she was Xiao He (lotus demon), and now he broke the cycle and able to pick the soul of his true love before any tragedy.

Also, I can't imagine anyone else having this much chemistry with ZLY either.
The teaser for 18 is jealous XZ talking again. What do you mean about Jing Xi? Their arc is over, as far as I know.
