This is basically the whole plot for the first half of the Warring States period arc, where five people time-travel. Zimiao's ultimate move makes Ao Chi and Sha Lou forget their past, and he lies to Sha Lou that he is her husband. Meanwhile, Ao Chi is rescued by Chu Jiang (Chengxiao), so he makes a promise to marry her. When Ao Chi and Sha Lou meet again, time after time, they realize they are attracted to each other but because of their respective circumstances, they still keep their distance. Sha Lou finds it weird that she doesn't feel comfortable with Zimiao's affection, yet feels Ao Chi is strangely familiar. Sha Lou wants to break things off with Zimiao; he pretends to agree but secretly tries to imprison her. Then Sha Lou tries to escape.

Yeah, there is, but this is also one of the most annoying arcs beside the Bone/ Fox Demon. When I read this part, I just wanted to kill Zimiao. He's so shameless. He made Ao Chi and Sha Lou forget each other, and then he had the audacity to pretend to be Sha Lou's husband. And this happens after Ao Chi and Sha Lou were already engaged

This drama is so stingy with promotional stuff. Almost zero content, and the only official still is the birthday post for Qin Tianyu. I need a trailer to see Yi Jun's directing for this drama. I could tell from the Overdo trailer that the drama wouldn't satisfy me, and I was right, but it also had plot and dialogue issues, not just directing. I read the script of Fusheng and fell in love with Ao Chi and Sha Lou. Please don't ruin them, Yi Jun. His historical drama is not that bad so I hope Overdo is just one-time attempt at mimicking short drama style

The script for Fusheng is different, not the short drama type, and it has a lot of ancient parts. Yi Jun 's historical drama is not bad so I hope Fusheng will have better directing

No scenes together in the Xianxia era since Sha Lou only has human form after Cangzhu (Ao Chi) died/disappeared, and the Xianxia era is quite short, so I think they are done filming that era already or just need one-two more days of filming. They will share scenes in the Warring States period when the official filming for this era starts

Reunion after a long time, but it's quite a short scene. I want them extend it in final script

About 11 cases, not count the demon at the beginning that make Ao Chi's and Sha Lou's one-night stand happen since it's super short case, she is also one of main support character who will be in Sha Lou side

It has a happy ending, but in the draft script I have, it's kind of a 'How Dare You!?' type of ending. I hope the final script can extend the modern-day scenes a little more. If not, you can use the novel's content as supplementary material.

A demon disguises herself as Sha Lou to seduce men. Ao Chi, a young marshall , is responsible for apprehending a gang of thugs in the demon's area of ​​operation. The demon attempts to bewitch Ao Chi but fails. Later, Ao Chi encounters Sa Lou, still mistaking her for the demon, and tries to capture her. During their confrontation, the demon is also there, fearing Sha Lou will get into trouble and seek revenge (Sha Lou is a very powerful tree demon) and unleashing her full bewitching power in the form of smoke. Both Ao Chi and Sha Lou are affected by this power, resulting in a one-night stand (also influenced by their own physical attraction to each other, which is another spoiler for the plot later)

You remember what happened to Ao Chi in the novel just before their modern-day reunion. The drama will have a similar situation occurring in the pre-modern era then lead to modern time

In the drama, Ao Chi has significantly more screen time than in the novel. While Sha Lou might appear a little more in the drama, I think Ao Chi is the heart of the storyline. He's also become a much more active character. He's the one who redeemed Sha Lou and helped her to find her freedom. I really enjoyed the dialogues between them. Ao Chi is very gentle and loving towards Sha Lou. He sacrificed so much for her, even more than in the novel. He forgave and gave up so much for Sha Lou. In the novel, their love spanned thousands of years and was already established; we only see its gradual development through flashbacks, whereas in the film, when they first met during the Republic era, we witnessed their love from its very beginning.

"Having children or not" is too big a spoiler for this drama, haha. We can say that they did and also did not have children, haha. I think you can count this drama as a prequel to the modern content in the novel since most stories in the drama are from pre-modern days. Even if the plots of pre-modern-day novels and dramas are quite different, you can remove the pre-modern-day part of the novel by the plot of the drama and use the rest of the novel for something that will happen after the drama ends.

I'm talking about the drama script, which is different from the original novel (yeah, I read the original novel too). Loveline in drama script has some same essence but stronger; i love Ao Chi and their loveline in drama ver more since in novel they are not the focus

Yeah, of course Ao Chi and Sha Lou's love line is my favorite too; it's actually what makes me look forward to this drama so much after reading the draft script, even though I'm not a fan of anyone in particular. Their relationship is a healthy one, where they respect and appreciate each other, and Ao Chi is such a green-flag male lead. Two strong characters who love, support, and respect each other, who doesn't love it? Even though their love is healthy, the flirtatious tension between them is so strong, even when they're not official together or in the middle of a cold war, which keeps things interesting. I think international fans will love them since we all appreciate healthy relationships, though I can't really predict how successful it will be with domestic audiences. Actually, my account is the most active on this Fusheng page, even more so than the fans of main actors, haha. The lack of official promotion and hype for this drama makes me feel like I'm talking to myself here

We have the first outdoor kiss scene and I think they kiss beautifuly. It's actually the fourth kiss scene for our main couple in terms of filming order, but CZY and WCR still seemed a little shy haha maybe because it's the first time they're doing it outside

Both, a fantasy, time-travel drama with both republican and historical setting

You can buy it from Chinese sellers; I got mine from Xiaohongshu (XHS). You can have draft scripts for other Chinese dramas the same way too, but the accuracy of the draft script might differ for each cases. I think the draft script I have for Fusheng is about 60–70% similar to what was actually filmed

There are a lot of changes between the draft script and what’s actually being filmed for the Tang Dynasty arc, which makes me quite worried because I really liked the draft script for this era. The love line also seems to be weakened (though I’ll wait until filming for this arc ends to be sure). I’m also concerned about director Yi Jun’s storytelling and cinematography abilities, since his past works have been just so-so and the new trailer for Overdo feels quite bland compared to Reuters and fails to capture a Republican-era atmosphere (the filter is too modern). Fusheng has a large part of the Republican era too but since it has fantasy elements, then viewers might give it a pass, I hope.

But I think the novel is still a good read. The plot in drama is chance but the personality and essence of Sha Lou and Ao Chi is quite similar to the novel
