hard to tell without a higher quality photo. I bought the express but i can only watch the eps on my device, so it's still too small to see.

they also can't do past lives/reincarnation, so they squirt around it with xianxia Gods/mortals lifetimes, and this drama HEAVILY implied he/she will find each other in every lifetime.

Censorship is about transmigration. Apparently cannot leave it loose ended or give people incentive to try to replicate this themselves. So they always use "it's a dream!" or "it's a novel/script"!

I'm inclined to believe he "woke" with the memories of the 3 lifetimes, much like FL did. And so he started the company for resort vacation, called SanSheng (like SanSheng mountain) and alot of references to their past. So he wait and wait to find his "overworked" salted fish Zou Yan. I think he tries to meet every company to present their project, hence why he waited for her. And his smile is not the confused look like when he is emperor ，but the Sima Jiao smile.

My favorite drama of 2025!!

"Goodbye Mei Wan. Signed, Tang Yi Xun & Ye Hai Tang"
"Watching my first snowfall with A'Xun."
"A'Xun, Happy 20th Birthday 1992."
"A'Xun, Happy 30th Birthday 2002."
"A'Xun, Happy 40th Birthday 2012."
"A'Xun, Happy 50th Birthday 2022"
"A'Xun, Happy 54th Birthday 2026"

Translation for the Polaroid captions in the ending credits of last episode

Loooved it. I think the story closed out really well. I am happy with it, and especially with the leads acting.
I watched Wang Yinglu back to back with her other drama, and her contrast between the roles are so good.

Yup! they sold us the romance so well, between Sima Jiao and Liao Tingyan. Even when one side has no memory, the other will call it their "first meeting" and start over and it always works out.

when they both said to each other that they would remember each other's soul no matter what, I believe them. So I also apply that to the modern world, and you can call it another "first meeting".

no voice actor, its Chen Feiyu's voice.

I could go finish When Destiny Brings the Demon while waiting for this.. both are excellent Wang Ying Lu dramas

It's 2026 Xun. He's been waiting for this old guy to bring the mailbox

ive decided im not doing anything else on Monday except finishing both these dramas before work on Tuesday

I like your theory. But what about the mom? The letter the FL receives a reply at on the end of episode 7 says "Son, lets go to Shiqiao (to have fishcakes)." which is her mom's code to run away together from dad. Maybe she will find out her mom never meant to leave her behind? But how is that letter being written? What time period?

This drama really keeps me thinking, which I really like.

if you keep watching, they investigate into it a lot more. As of now, the Dad in episode 1, sent a letter to 1991 for Ye Haitang, the love letter. It says he wanted to save her, and the times they spent together were the best times of his life. Then he disappeared, which is the mystery in 2026. At the same time in 1991, FL wrote a suicide letter, and it got sent to 2026, and is found by the ML's daughter. It seems the time is running consecutively from there on.

Its surely presumed that the old Dad is Xun, and 1991 Xun doesn't know it yet, why he would write that to her. And its a fun watch to see how they develop, and what happens.

but then the son won't be born? Or maybe they can, after she divorces her husband when the son is 10 years old, then they can raise Yu Nian together too

Episode 8, I cried a whole litre of tears.

The fact they gave us ep 8 with 4 more eps to go gives me hope though.
