Apparently, it is in the novel

I have read he fall for her before knowing who she is. Let's see

He is not a sweetheart! He is self-righteous and doesn't have an ounce of naivety on him. He also have done what is needed to survive. He is still doing it. His love for Bai Lu character is the less convincing as it is so one sided that is almost harrassment. I love Fu Ling with him and there is more that we still don't know. These characters are not clear cut.

She is the most interesting character in the whole series!

I have read by episode 20, still a long way....

It is fiction and we can allow ourselves to like characters like this, for me is working and I want them together. Chong Zhao does not have an ounce of naïve on him. He is self-righteous, self centre. So I have never considered him as the "good guy"

Indeed

I totally agree with you. I like they are not white and black characters and that we still do not know everything about them. There are secrets kept. Like you, I am only watching for them. I read in Twitter that in China they are in the top 10 most popular CP at the moment (I am not sure if they have overpassed the main leads. It happened many times with other dramas, I remember in Journey to you that the secondary CP went ahead by miles in the popularity index).

Indeed, but also they are not white and black characters, wait and see. She is fabulous. I like that she is not dilly dally but a full round evil character!

I like ARP but people has commented that in order to look cool he go to the other extreme, but this happens in the first 10 eps.

You will discover both have very heavy secrets! Just wait an see. They are not black and white characters.

She is one of the most thrilling characters there - she is through and through an assassin.

are we talking about the same person? Hua Se? He is considered a very emotional actor. are you sure you are not referring to Rui Peng? he has been criticised for this.

I am watching only for him and his CP. It is obvious from social media that I am not the only one. Such divergent opinion!

Many thanks

Agree!

Or various men wanting the FL which is even worse, I think C Dramas and K Dramas have not interviewed real women about their lives to feed into these fictional characters

Complete BTS of the sexy "first aid" scene with my favorites. She is really a pro to have done this!

Thank you. Some trolls even get personal and start insulting people. It happens to me with those series with very high fan traffic. I was liking the series but the fans of one of the CP who disagree with that pairing became crazy. Fan is not an antagonist word to troll, on the contrary, Of course, they are also the pure haters of that actor. I really don't understand why people hate a person they do not know! All of us who were enjoying the series had a terrible time in this forum. I discovered blocking was a way not to be attacked because reporting does not work here.

Thank you for sharing this information, we need to keep pressure them to put some order here. I know it is not easy.
