it was the best dream ever I WISH I COULD SHOW IT TO EVERYONE WE WERE SO THRILLED FOR FINALYL SEEING MOVEMENT FROM THE PRODUCTION TEAM. it sucked so bad to wake up 😭😭 i think me always thinking about xiaoyao's teaser All the time had it somehow manifesting itself into my dreams 😭
took a nap, woke up rn and i had this crazy dream where IN my dream, i was asleep and suddenly woke up to a flood of content from xiaoyao's production team. from double posters and teasers. we even had an english title called "dotted love" and we were all like "A TITLE WITH THE WORD LOVE AGAIN?" but then we were too happy to actually be annoyed and the teaser was so good and everyone was so excited.
and then i woke up. it's been 10 since i woke up and i mourn that dream already
A cold and ruthless war god, poisoned and seeking an antidote, disguises herself as a delicate dancer to set up a romantic trap for the hedonistic playboy who poisoned her. However, the other party is also wearing a disguise, hiding their identity. The two act against each other, feigning sincerity while secretly scheming, pushing and pulling in a battle of love—only to unexpectedly uncover a shocking secret about the celestial realm.
--
Three thousand years ago, to reduce bloodshed, the rulers of the six celestial realms established a Truce Pact, replacing war with competitive duels and creating the Qingyun Tournament. Since then, the Qingyun Tournament has become the most important event in Hexu, and to win, all realms are willing to do whatever it takes.
For seven consecutive years, Ming Xian (played by Lu Yuxiao), the heir of Yaoguang Mountain, was the undefeated champion. But this year, he shockingly lost to Ji Bozai, a challenger from Extreme Star Abyss. Some claimed Ji Bozai used hidden weapons, while others suspected him of poisoning Ming Xian. However, before he could clear his name, Ming Xian mysteriously disappeared after the tournament.
Meanwhile, Ji Bozai, once a nameless wanderer, became a rising star in Extreme Star Abyss. He appeared to be a carefree hedonist, drinking and indulging in pleasure daily, but in reality, this was all an act—to lower the guards of those who feared him and to deter powerful families from arranging political marriages with him. As a former convict, Ji Bozai had a greater goal: to free all prisoners and end their suffering.
One day, the flirtatious Ji Bozai encounters Ming Yi, a seemingly sweet and clever dancer, and uses her as a shield to fend off unwanted attention. However, as they grow closer, he realizes that she is surrounded by countless mysteries. As they pretend to fall in love, their feelings become real—until Ji Bozai discovers that Ming Yi is actually his former rival, Ming Xian.
The truth is, Ming Xian lost to Ji Bozai because she had been poisoned by the deadly Leaving Grief Flower and had little time left to live. She approached Ji Bozai because the only antidote—Yellow Millet Dream—was in his possession. The two, whose fake love had become real, must now cast off their disguises and face each other as enemies once more...

how much of a womanizer/play boy is the male lead? i don't mind spoilers
not really sure how it was in the novel, but in the drama - he's mostly pretending to be a playboy to keep away political marriage proposals and to little lower the guards of the people who began to fear him after the tournament.
