I think the drama is a lot better than the book. It was choppy and CBJ was cruel in the book. Basically SAed her. Actually, this was my review 8 years ago.

4.5 I would have given this a 5, but Chu BeiJie was very brutal towards Bai Ping Ting in the book when he held her captive. I watched the show before I read the book and saw lots of differences. I really liked the show much better, made CBJ more romantic and not a cruel killer as he is portrayed in the book. Since I read the translated version of the book, there were lots of mistakes and probably did not translate very well into English. Over all this book was great, though I thought the show was much better.

It’s a long book, if I reread it will probably only be the first half. Second half bore me to death and went downhill, but just my opinion. Do you have RedNote (Xiaohongshu)? There might be some on there even TikTok. Even X. On the youku app I saw some BTS.

Gosh I read it over a year ago. Lol 😆 The first half is all about their relationship and spicy parts, after the tournament she is angry with him for the entire second half of the book, so no spiciness, just him pinning for her. The kissing in the patio part was deleted also, if you look at my picture that’s the scene where he eats oysters and chives, so sexy, also deleted. I have some videos saved but can’t post them here or I have not found a way to.

I think they have it on youku app, might have to upgrade subscription or some may be on YouTube.

This is not deleted scenes, but where the two sit and watch their scenes together.

The book was way hotter, that was probably the most interesting part of the book, after the tournament it went down hill and dragged on for me.

The majority of the drama has been changed from book so it would be better to see it as an entire different plot with just the names and some of the scenes in the movie were in the book. Even some of the names were changed and some characters were combined in the drama. JBZ was a philanderer in the book, but he’s not in the drama only acts like one. Though in the book after he meets MY, he is in love and doesn’t “get” with anyone else. There’s more sexual tension in the book and they seemed to be going at it quite a lot, but after the tournament, the “activities” doesn’t happen anymore until close the end of the book.

Sad, probably won’t get to see it.

A girl like me is my favorite, but depends on your taste.

Lots of scenes were cut. I think I read where someone mentioned on Xiaohongshu, there were 10 kissing scenes, they read it off the script. The one I was looking forward to was HMH eating oysters and of course the pavilion one.

I first saw him on Cambrian Period, he was just a boy, 18 when he filmed, but 19 when it aired in 2017. Then I watched him again on When we were young. Still looking like a boy. Kinda moved on with my life and saw him again in A Girl Like me in 2021, was when I was in love an gaga over him and started watching his other dramas from there on except some modern ones because I’m
Not really into Modern or Xianxia or xuanhuan, but for him I would suffer or any MLs I really like and I mainly watch historicals.

The book goes downhill after the tournament. IMO

Oh yeah, it’s an app, but they post more about LITC. More videos you don’t see on TikTok. BTS, deleted scenes, etc. A lot of people are obsessed with this drama on this app.

There were more kissing scenes that were cut and not shown. On Xiaohongshu, ppl read the script and mentioned they had lots of kissing scenes. Lots of good scenes were also cut, it’s a shame because we probably won’t see it.

Blood River, no motivation to watch more episodes right now even though I love Gong Jun, I’m reeling from the end of LITC.

侯明昊Neo And 卢昱晓, should have a red check mark by their names.

YW, also Threads has lots of post too.

There’s lots of post on LITC, except in Chinese it’s called to ascend to the blue/green clouds or 入青云 (Rù Qīng Yún) or Enter QingYun.

It’s a Chinese social media app, the functions has as a mix of Pinterest, Instagram, and YouTube. If you go to your App Store, it’s called Little Red Note, you can set everything to English where it auto translate to English or whatever language you want. You can download some videos to your phone if the person allows it, and doesn’t restrict downloading.

Facebook, Xiaohongshu, Twitter, and TikTok for me.
