Oh, before you say it, let me clarify: yes, I know the girl was an adult by the time they started their romantic…
I recently watched Manifest. Olive was 10 when she first met TJ and she was in a awe for him. Over 5 years they fall in love for each other and have a love story of several years, till the end of series, when TJ and Olive had the same age as they had when they first met. Olive has no memories about their love story, but TJ have them all when he returns 5 years back and meets an Olive of 10 Nobody found it weird, ppl understand it's fiction.
I have been putting off watching this drama for a long time. I would say I was saving it for dessert when I wanted…
it's your opinion, but it represents a minority. The majority loves this drama, chars, acting, that's why rating is high. And it's not like this drama has a small amount of reviewers. Fact. Well, you can take it or leave it

Checked out this drama because I've literally ran out of things to watch lol and went in with pretty low expectations…
I really dont think Lusi's fans hate the ML. They know TLI is a youth xianxia, the first/single xianxia Lusi has ("repetitive role" ?!?), so they were/are really protective and supporting. Kelulis like a lot Wang An Yu, I dare to say the most of all her co-partners. Not only WAY was very friendly during shooting and during (and after-see Versace Events) airing, but WAY fandom and kelulis never had a single fight.
Itās crazy cause I love zhao Lu si so much she one of my favorite actress but I just canāt get into this show…

Zhao Lusi's First Weibo Post in the Year of the Snake š§§
"Constantly "Day and Night" thinking, Extremely "Curious"ā Daily Life
A little daily sharing on the first day of the Chinese New Year! āš»
Happy New Year, everyone. Happy New Year, 2025.
Let me share something small firstā I finally dyed my hair the color Iāve been thinking about for 10 years!!! š
I used to think, "A sentence or two isnāt enough to explain, but saying too much ruins everything," so I just didnāt say anything. I deeply regret not keeping a record of the little details in daily life and forgetting how I felt about choosing emojis when sharing my daily moments.
Later on, my loss of speech came along with reading difficulties š¤·āāļø. I started keeping a little journal, but⦠only I could understand what I wrote. Unexpectedly, through this practice, I rediscovered my old habit of rambling, and I even learned to use punctuation properly again!
(The detailsāI'll share them bit by bit⦠Saying too much sounds like āself-pity,ā but saying nothing makes it seem like a āmedical miracle")
Since the outcome is the same whether I speak or not, I might as well prioritize my emotions! I'll say what I want to say.
āš» Being able to share different perspectives and attitudes, avoiding spreading false information or defamation, while protecting my own interests and emotions. That's how I learned to use words to process and release built-up emotions.
When feelings are being felt. That's what truly matters!
Since Iāve accepted my situation, I want to share more about my positive and active recovery process. I realize I may have overlooked the discomfort some fellow patients might feel, and I sincerely apologize for that. But please "rest assured". I am definitely NOT fully recovered!
Depression is a ālong-term battle.ā But whether it remains ālong-termā or becomes āshort-termā with more effort. We can at least TRY to make it shorter.
āš» What if we see ādepressionā as a debt collector? You canāt just make it disappear unless you settle the debt. So to me, the focus isnāt WHEN I will be cured, but HOW I will put in the effort to heal.
At first, I feared the unknown aspects of the illness, so I wanted to understand its roots better. I read books on psychology and listened to many generous fellow patients' experiences. From everything I learned, the most helpful approach for me at this stage is: producing endorphins + stimulating serotonin
Iāve always eaten sweets because the serotonin boost gives me brief moments of happiness. But working on producing endorphins is my long-term treatment strategy. (Not sure if itās rightājust sharing my personal experience~)
My friends and I have a group chat called "Get Better Instantly" We created it on December 21, 2024
At first, my friends secretly visited me and used the chat to coordinate daily updates. Later, they started sharing funny memes, recovery tips, and silly photos and videos of each other. My efforts were being recorded. Seeing even the smallest changes, they cheered me on no matter where they were.
I used to feel like a ālifelessā person. I thought I was useless, I doubted myself. āWhatās the point of doing good things or being kind to people? It always ends up hurting me.ā
But because of these records, because of the genuine love behind them, I started affirming my past kindness, recognizing my recovery efforts, and stopping the cycle of negative emotions.
I became more willing to commit to proper treatment and seek validation through progress. I also explored healing methods outside of books. Ones that suited me personally; to generate endorphins
And naturally, I started feeling happiness again. Consistent, long-lost happiness. š This kind of approach is like giving yourself a "reward system" For any (difficult, painful, long, challenging) task, once you complete it, you earn a reward. So ANYTHING can become a driving force to earn that reward. (From personal experience: this includes fighting an illness.)
Rewards = Endorphins = Happiness
So nowāI no longer feel anxious about HAVING anxiety
On Chinese New Year's Eve, we renamed our group from āGet Better Instantlyā to āGet Better Gradually" Because my symptoms and overall state have improved significantly.
This, without a doubt, is the best New Year's gift I could give to the people who love me. š
And thank you all for calling me ābrave.ā I donāt think Iām brave! I just empathize easily.
People used to say my empathy was a sign of āsensitivity and fragility,ā a āsavior complex.ā So I resented this inexplicable ability to FEEL othersā emotions.
But during this time, through the words overflowing from my screen, through the unspoken messages in peopleās eyes, Iāve felt embraced
I now understand the power that empathy can convey.
So regardless of identity, experience, or circumstances, to even attempt to stand in anotherās shoes and feel their situationā that is both a gift and a flaw.
After all, each personās neural network differs, so whether one possesses this āgift/flawā or not is entirely normal. There is no right or wrong.
And so being unable to empathize is completely okay too.
Now, I can see my empathy for what it is and cherish it. š That is the best gift 2025 has given me. š
Even now, I still take photos and videos to document my days. I need to see myself trying every day.
So whether you call it āmarketing,ā or any other label for āmeā that you come up with, I can accept it.
After all, Iām a "medical miracle,ā right?
So even if just one person understands what Iām trying to say, if it brings them even a tiny spark of hope or motivation, then my āendorphinsā will be activated again.
For all my happiness, thank you And for my recover, thank you
ā "So this is just marketing, right?" Yes, thatās correct.
Because only through marketing and promotion can we help people see depression without the lens of bias and misunderstanding.
With more awareness, there will be more voices of understanding and support. Those suffering will have the confidence to face the lack of support. Empathetic individuals and organizations will step up to protect those in need.
Depression must be positively marketed and taken seriously. Depression patients must be protected and receive proper treatment.
Everything I āmarketā is to help people see the real severity of this illness.
Depressed individuals suffer just as much as those with physical illnesses. We need more people to understandā this is pain and torment, not just whining
Marketing can meet a need or create a need
I have gained time for treatment, and my story has helped raise awareness of mental health issues. That is the purpose of positive marketing
So when does āmarketingā become a derogatory term? āāā When it benefits the competition āāā In the entertainment industry
Marketing itself has meaning. If you say Iām āmarketingā⦠(Oh, no, no⦠I wouldnāt dare⦠Just a noisy little half-full water bottle š¦)
"Love, at its core, is the same. Itās only crowded because there are many people"
The first journal entry of 2025ā
Finally, two more things: While searching for happiness, also cherish your negative emotions
As long as you can still āignite,ā your situation isnāt too bad. Donāt fear it, and donāt feel guilty. š«
Depression is suppressed negative emotions accumulating over time, causing your bodyāskin, senses, muscles, brain, heartā to become uncontrollable. It can make you restless or slow. In pain or numb. Mute or blind. Paralyzed or manic.
I didnāt believe it at first either⦠Before my diagnosis, I underwent MRI scans, blood tests, and neurological exams; to confirm that it wasnāt due to any physical organ issues or medication reactions. And then I realised..
Before ānegativeā was a word, it was simply part of the natural human experience.
Both positive and negative emotions deserve to be understood and accepted.
That is the only way to love yourself.
When feelings are felt, thatās what truly matters.
Believe in yourself. Believe pain can create endorphins. Believe that even in lifeās cracks. Light will seep through"
