Hi Hi! Under the Power was one of my favourite Wu Xia by him😍.

👍🏻your point make sense.

Based on this story, her character was guilty that she didn’t choose to trust SML. If ML didn’t 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 REN’s performance in costume dramas.

Below is the original Novel synopsis….feels like Allen Ren’s role is filled with suffering where he constantly face obstacles between love and responsibility…

“Branded 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: “Of all the men in the world, who but Lu Qianqiao could be the one I’ve been searching for?” With that, the bold and spirited Xin Mei throws herself wholeheartedly into pursuing him.

However, Lu Qianqiao is no ordinary man—he 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 Mei’s 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 poison—if 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 chain—a 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?”

👌🏻Understood. The FL’s 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 affairs…but this is not that kind of story.
Enjoy other dramas, no need to stress with one that is not working for you🤍.

Yup, Gong Jun and Yang Mi is in one of the series, it’s a trilogy: Red Pact Moon, Sword and Beloved (ChengYi and Li Yi Tong), and prequel to it is ‘Love in Pavilion’(Liu ShiShi and Zhu YunLong).
The harder and undetectable the villian may be, makes the winning more impactful and meaningful to watch🤷🏻‍♀️. It dos make the story very dramatic to watch😂, with lots of death and sacrifices especially such strong villian.;)
Yup, always the all mighty God creates the evil to challenge human kind🤣.

Will you be finishing this? Or you decided to drop it?

Well FL is in love with SML even after he abandoned her, she stays single till the persuasive ML came into the pic. She has to sort out her past feelings before she can receive her new romance. It’s a mess indeed.

In a cast interview, Elvira Cai who played FL said, she is also not sure what’s so special about her character that can make two men fell for her so deeply😅

This is really a safe, easy and happy watch with an inspirational themes such as career aspiration, healthy relationship and kinship as well as friendship. Gave me a fluffy feeling from beginning to the end.

Yup, she always knew YK is up to something, she is waiting and watching.🤩🤩🤩

Awesome!!!🤩😍 The 2nd watch always leads to more new discovery;).

You are most welcome😘.

Yup, it will be so sweet!

They made it just for fans service;) and part of promotion for this drama CP🥰.

👍🏻Absolutely both are HE;)

I am surprise that it drops 😓😓😓

👍🏻 Sorry, mis-interpreted, thought you drop this. I have dropped it, but will come back to see how’s the comments and may pick it up again some day.

I totally agreed with Anitfa’s comment on this drama. However if you didn’t watch season 1, then watching this with a fresh eye, you may enjoy it better. It’s a WuXia focused with heavy theme of slavery and fighting for freedom, with female centric plot. The ML, SML and FL have relationship entanglement. There were flashbacks in each ep., to help re-capped their past and back story, it’s actually pretty decent, if you follow the flow, you will catch its essence.
As Anitfa, I also can’t bring myself to continue this series.
