I got frustrated with the truth being hidden but it’s no fault of the drama. I just wasn’t in a mood for that kind of angst. It was well written in that the plot was so character driven and didn’t require other plot devices move the story along. If I sit back and think about the backgrounds of our main leads and their personalities, all of their decisions make sense and although they fell in love and found that positivity in their life, it’s hard to change years of loneliness, mistrust and emotional bankruptcy. I did watch certain moments at 2x after ep 21, especially Situ Ling ish and anytime the main leads were being extra angsty. It’s a drama that I appreciated more after finishing and reflecting on the different character motives and development. ML had to hide it into her food because she would have never taken it if she knew he extracted from himself. They ended up loving each other that they continuously became sacrificial to help the other. It was tragic circumstances but at least we come out winning. Knowing other xianxia dramas, this could have ended on a bittersweet or even a devastating tone.
Is it my top drama of 2025? Nope. Did Minghao save this drama? Yes. I’m guilty, I love the dude. Is it worth watching, I would wholeheartedly say, “yes!”
MY has been literally raised IN a lie her whole life, and her life actually rides on keeping that lie. Not simply…
I wish she could have gathered that her mother’s expectations and anger at her were unjustified but that ML’s anger at her were due to her lies and manipulation, but I get that her childhood has been so twisted that she can’t tell the difference. I can’t blame ML for his outbursts and guardedness since no positive figure has existed in his life and the one that did, he feels he played part in her cause of death.
They are two broken people who finally found love but are unable to move beyond the ways they learned to survive - one being super guarded and the other living a lie. So sad to not seem them together during these eps (I’m at 25 rn). I hope they come back together soon and can start healing, which ML seems to be about to take steps since his concern that she’s doing all this for Ming Xian have been cleared (kind of).

that’s an interesting perspective about her true identity! She would stop being Ming Yi in a way after she is cured and she would feel compelled to return to her realm, especially with the emotionally twisted relationship with her mother - craving for her approval and acceptance. Also your point about her concept of love…both of them actually…they have never truly received love to be able to trust someone can love you wholeheartedly. Yes, this makes the events of 22-23 make more sense.

thanks for the thorough explanation. very interesting perspective on how she sees relationships in a transactional nature.
btw, I don’t think she felt he wouldn’t give it to her. She notes at the starts of ep 23 that she doesn’t want ML to defy his master’s last wish and when her Er Shi Qi says ML might for her, she says that she doesn’t want him to have to choose. I get that she might have been apprehensive whether he wil, but they didn’t quite layout her emotions as to that (as in not about what ML has done when she was caught in lies because here we are talking about her confessing which you can’t judge a person reaction to finding out about lies on their own vs you confessing) - So in my mind, there’s no concrete evidence by way of what has happened in the story that shows she feels he wouldn’t give it to her. What she says makes it seems she knows he would and she doesn’t want him to defy his master.
I think her clamming up wasn’t because he ignored her. The only time she did actually say something was about the wine and he took it as a joke because of the moment and how she said it. I think she clammed up every time because she was afraid of losing what she had. She used the manipulation she learned from her mother on him and at first she was afraid of the truth unveiled would lead to her being caught, but then it became a fear of losing him. Especially, ep 22, maybe bestie wanted to make sure she got to sleep with him that one night before everything unravels 😂 🤣 I mean, have you seen how hawt this man is? 😂

everyone seems to absolutely adore this drama so I feel like I’m missing something 😭 I’m so annoyed that I’m watching at 2x hereon out…at least until she fixes this. ML better not be the one expected to fix it all

she ended up causing Er Shi Qi’s death. like how did she think the dude was going to leave her? all she had to do was tell ML the truth. she ended up hurting him instead with the lies to the end and attempting to get the Golden Millet and then on top of all that…although not her fault, SML comes to take her away and ML sees and is caused further grief. I just can’t wrap my head around this madness.
I don’t you guys…she had the chance to clear the air at the end of ep 22…I’m not understanding her rationale…
she doesn’t want to make him choose and she knows that he’ll defy his master’s last wish and give her the Golden Millet…so she thinks the better option is to go in and take it herself? to really break his heart?
yup. ep 19 was wowza ☺️ but then 20 was back to hesitance and FL not being forthcoming 🥴 I’m so anxious when OTP lie to each other. I need the truth to come out soon 😂
hellooo! omg it's been a long time since I saw you on a comment section, it's great that you're also watching…
Hiiiii 😄I guess we haven’t been in the same circuit of dramas. Comment sections also have been getting flooded because I’m watching all the hot dramas 😂 This one is ahg! so good. Ngl- mostly because Neo is 🤯 😍 🤤
I’m just always afraid of the potential misunderstandings caused between OTP because of these kinds of characters. If OTP trust each other and work together to solve obstacles, I’m less apprehensive. in this though, because they both are hiding so many secrets and FL is approaching ML under false pretenses, I’m afraid of the rift that is coming 😥 but I guess that makes a drama dramatic 😂
