Just watched the first ep., nice that they started with a weddingâŠhahahha. I like the colour tone and pace. I will have to come back later to continue. Allen Ren as usual looks great in costume drama.đ
Tall, handsome and smart young man, such a gem. Smart move to use his current popularity to flourish his other interest in electrical engineering field. I still remembered watching his first drama âMaiden Holmesâ. May he continues to flourish his interest in science and energy. He reminds me of Prof Brian Cox in a small way. His promotional interviews on his upcoming documentary:
I enjoyed reading your review very much. I havenât finished the third story yet but the first and second have…
Thank you for reading my review and the kind words. Yes, agreed that the first two stories are enduring. the last one has to be watched with a slightly different mindset to appreciate its theme;).
Well written and succinct review. I am glad you finished this. As you, I find this WuXiaâs theme quite real and true to the classic WuXia universe, the generational issues were pretty complex. As pointed out, the execution could have been better to sustain audiences attention; the casts done pretty okay. Love the portrayal of Cai PingShu as a tragic heroine, and I was surprised that I enjoyed this more than I expected and rated it 8/10 too;).
Well FL is in love with SML even after he abandoned her, she stays single till the persuasive ML came into the…
In this set up, she is his childhood friend and should know his character, but she didnât persevere to wait for him. As he thought she will. SML is not the hero, itâs an unconventional love story, and second chance may be too late. In other type of romance story, maybe SMLâs character will get the girl. lol.
This is not a straightforward romance, itâs complex, matured love, so the theme is grey. If you are looking for clear cut love, this is not.
The themes are focusing on themes of reincarnation, forbidden love between humans/demons, and the "Unity Allianceâ, if you enjoy such themes, you may like it. The sequence of watching: Love in Pavilion then Sword and Beloved followed by Red-Moon Pact. Its not so much of mystery but misunderstanding. The evil forces creates a lot of fake situations and misunderstanding for the leads to manage (GJM uses that part in Moon Sect and LWYâs story). Personally I like the first two series, plot and acting much better, dropped the last one as didnât quite like the acting.

Based on this story, her character was guilty that she didnât choose to trust SML. If ML didnât appear in her life, she may still be single and may choose to reconcile with SML after his real indentity is recovered.

This script writer has written some good scripts adapted from novels but there are also some not so good⊠hopefully this will be one of the good ones. I always enjoyed watching Allen RENâs performance in costume dramas.
Below is the original Novel synopsisâŠ.feels like Allen Renâs role is filled with suffering where he constantly face obstacles between love and responsibilityâŠ
âBranded as a woman cursed to bring misfortune to her future husband, Xin Mei has long hoped to find a handsome and capable spouse before her sixteenth birthday. By a twist of fate, she accidentally triggers the protective formation around the imperial tomb and is subsequently placed under house arrest by Lu Qianqiao, the valiant general guarding the tomb.
In her battle of wits with Lu Qianqiao, Xin Mei has a sudden revelation: âOf all the men in the world, who but Lu Qianqiao could be the one Iâve been searching for?â With that, the bold and spirited Xin Mei throws herself wholeheartedly into pursuing him.
However, Lu Qianqiao is no ordinary manâhe is the descendant of a War Demon and is on the brink of undergoing a dangerous transformation that could cost him his life. Fearing for Xin Meiâs future, he suppresses his deep, all-consuming love for her and begins to deliberately push her away.
But fate takes a strange turn. Though Lu Qianqiao survives the ordeal, he fails to complete his transformation. Now, Xin Mei has become his sweetest poisonâif he kills her, he will sever all ties to the mortal world and achieve the perfect War Demon form, allowing him to protect his people. Yet, without her, the world is nothing but a desolate wasteland. Even if he scours the heavens or descends into the underworld, there would be nowhere left for him to go.
Is love a binding chainâa blade that must cut through emotion, sealed with blood to forge an immortal legend? Or is it a serendipitous stumble into destiny, a match made in heaven, written across three lifetimes?â
Well FL is in love with SML even after he abandoned her, she stays single till the persuasive ML came into the…
đđ»Understood. The FLâs indecisiveness and initial loose boundaries can be problematic. Fortunately SML is also a man with dignity and backs off when he senses that FL has move on. If he is to pursue her and play on her guilt, I am sure it will result in affairsâŠbut this is not that kind of story. Enjoy other dramas, no need to stress with one that is not working for youđ€.
Yup, Gong Jun and Yang Mi is in one of the series, itâs a trilogy: Red Pact Moon, Sword and Beloved (ChengYi and Li Yi Tong), and prequel to it is âLove in Pavilionâ(Liu ShiShi and Zhu YunLong). The harder and undetectable the villian may be, makes the winning more impactful and meaningful to watchđ€·đ»ââïž. It dos make the story very dramatic to watchđ, with lots of death and sacrifices especially such strong villian.;) Yup, always the all mighty God creates the evil to challenge human kindđ€Ł.
Will you be finishing this? Or you decided to drop it?
