you came here and already started blaming him. Cool

Southern Anecdote

This is a spin-off about the Zhang family

Daipai said that he has 7-10 shooting days per month. But considering that they shoot a lot of scenes at once, it's ok. So his shooting period is hardly shorter than for the rest, it's just that most of the time is taken up with other ongoing matters
ZXC definitely has more scenes, but he's not always on set either

I suppose "Moonlight" can be considered an AU version of the LGiEF. He is a tsundere writer with a secret identity, she is his editor and is trying to make a normal human being out of him

and here's the kiss scene from the credits (why didn't they include it in the drama itself T_____T) https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5101779736071935

It's on WETV & going to be uploaded to kisskh.co soon

Guys, this is a HE, they just didn't give us some sweetness https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5101763827076389

It's HE and we even have a kiss, but in the credits

We have this https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4982558787897885

Liu Fuyi tried to get the weapon in the previous episodes. So it was shown from the very beginning that the weapon isn't tied to the Mu family's blood - even Mu Yao was sure that LFY "the chosen one"

Both leads have experienced the cruelty and injustice of the world, but they haven't become cruel, envious or obsessive. This is still a human choice after all
Yining despises LJX's actions not only towards herself, but towards others - their "misunderstanding" began with LJX not caring about the death of a random woman on that cliff

He's the son of some maid (like Shenyuan)

He hides the truth about Yining's origins because of the consequences for herself, not for himself. You will see in the next eps how the truth will turn out for her

At the beginning Yining is about 16 years old, so their meeting with LJX should've happened within two years (otherwise she's too young), and I guess about a year has already passed during the drama.
We don't know how old ML and 2ML are in the drama, in the book they are 22 and 30 years old respectively - but Cisha is younger than ZWY, maybe LJX is in his mid-twenties

The answer to your first question will be in ep24
And she should have been 14-15yo when they met. He didn't know her age, though.

Agree, they're both obsessive assholes. But the whole kidnapping story pissed me off, like, a big red flag and an even bigger red banner

Yeah, the writers had to completely rewrite the whole reincarnation thing (it's still not allowed in full-length dramas). So Yining did meet LJX a few years ago. She must have been around 14-15, I guess

LJX kidnapped her when she was already married and pregnant and kept her for a year. Well, he's definitely not the ideal man

No, this is the Song Dynasty based on the design of their clothing and officials' hats. A very, very feminist version of the Song Dynasty (in reality, the Tang Dynasty was the most supportive of women)
Qing is a Manchu dynasty, their style looked different
