What i really liked about Legend of Shen Li as a xianxia drama was the pacing of the drama from start to finish…
I agree with you about the pacing; I loved it from beginning to end! Although the flashbacks I admit are a bit too much, but as I enjoyed their every moment, it was good watch to me.
What I loved about the drama is that the CP is unmovable throughout the whole thing lol. She likes him, then he starts liking her, they get together and bam, its forever.
someone please decode the text messages. can’t understand those at all. missing the entire point of the movie
Traveler ZWS's text: "Hi Lin Beixing, my name is Zhang Wansen. Do you know me?"
After concert canceled: ZWS to LBX: "Did you hear the concert is cancelled?" Then: "Do you have time tomorrow? I have something to tell you, lets meet at the bookstore. :)"
After she ghosts him: "How did you do on your exams?"
When ZWS in hospital: from LBX: "Apollo, You should enjoy your summer break. Goodbye." Then, the one he wanted to respond but deleted: ZWS: "Lin Beixing, getting to know you this summer break, made me happy. Goodbye."
Traveler LBX's 1st text: "Hi Zhang Wansen, my name is Lin Beixing. After graduation, can we still get to know each other?"
Traveler LBX's 2nd text: "Hi Zhang Wansen, my name is Lin Beixing. I will work hard to get into the same university as you."
The ending message: "For every secret crush/hidden love, there is a response in a parallel universe."
He was a humble nobody in a small town, married FL for love. He scored #1 on the Imperial Exams and got a somewhat…
Yea he did it for moving up, and the Princess is kinda jealous and crazy and has a hold over him and would force him to remove wife eventually. His mom and sister are also goading him to rid of his wife, since they never liked her, and are both thirsty to move up in society. They'd much rather be related to royalty than a no-name small town talented lady.
I edited the previous comment to add more about the emperor having few followers, so it might explain why he wants to gain royal favor as there isnt much obstruction.
can someone please spoil me?why has the miserable excuse of a husband had to kill his wife and listen to that…
He was a humble nobody in a small town, married FL for love. He scored #1 on the Imperial Exams and got a somewhat low governmental title (Scholar), but has no money/prestigious family backing, thus unable to move up in society. He caught crazy Princess's eyes, and they started an affair behind FL's back, and he's doing it with his eye on power & title of Prince Consort (princess husband). The value here is, she's the Emperor's sister, not his daughter, so it makes him akin to a "brother" to the Emperor almost. The emperor is young and has no long-time followers, except trust in Xiao Heng, the courts divided and people are power hungry and corrupted.
So Shen Yurong had to get rid of his wife without ruining his own reputation (if he divorced, it would look bad on him); in fact got a VERY good reputation as a grieving and forgiving husband.
At the part we are at, he and Princess are underground lovers as he needs to wait the appropriate period of time to "mourn".
