I barely made it through ep 1, in which the FL shows complete lack of professionalism by leaving her interview half way through for personal reasons and expects a very busy person to wait for her.

Then ep 2 starts with an even more annoying scene, she dares to complain that the guy didn’t let her finish the interview and straight up lied about the circumstances.

Nobody owes you time, when you yourself don’t respect theirs. Smh. I’m not even sure I want to continue.

Finished it! It was quite enjoyable!

Yes, I’d say so, but in China they could’ve never been able to adapt it. It wouldn’t have passed the censorship committee.

I think what you wrote is pretty obvious. However, I, as anybody else, am allowed to be unhappy that some of my favourite novel bits didn’t get included, right?

I feel robbed of their wedding night! Mu Sheng went all “You can’t ever regret this. From now on you’re forever mine”. And their kisses were great. At the end, as they were both heavily injured, he even asked her to meet him by the River of Forgetfulness so they could cross it together and be together in the next life. She agreed of course 🥲

Haven’t watched many episodes, but the FL’s acting really stands out. Her and the ML have got great chemistry. On a plot level, their actual relationship dynamics are a bit infantile, but hopefully that’ll get better.

It’s funny that they included Mu Yao and Fu Yi’s wedding in the drama, when their wedding happened later than MiaoSheng’s. Most importantly YaoYi had way less kissing, I’d almost call them prudish romance-wise in their behaviour.

The novel has plenty of hot scenes, Mu Sheng’s favourite thing is to ravish Miao Miao whenever the opportunity presents itself 🤭🤭

Having read the novel, I’m both happy and unhappy with the drama. Some things I preferred in the novel (Miao Miao & Mu Sheng got married inside the system), other things I felt made more sense in the drama (Mu Sheng already existing in the real world, whereas in the novel he goes to her world but has to live in obscurity, kind of). This is a confusing feeling…

Perfect actors for Male and Female Leads!!!

Having lived through communism, and had friends, relatives, and neighbours get deported and/or killed by USSR I simply cannot stomach this drama. A pity. I like both ZLS & HMH.

Yan Zi Jing said something that truly resonated with me: many people are miserable, yet they won’t lift even one finger to change their situation.

I’ve personally been through poverty and extreme loneliness, yet through hard work, I’ve been able to completely change my life and that of my family. I think there’s always a way, but one must have the will.

Ikr. Most importantly her dad actually does value her, she just keeps complaining all the time 😒

It’s obvious that she believes she’s been treated unequally to her brothers and that’s her heart’s thorn, but the way she goes about it is completely wrong.

Cui Shi Jiu is such a hypocrite. On one hand she asks what’s wrong with being a woman and participating in business, yet on the other hand she looks down on women and belittles the FL’s efforts to improve her life through business as well.

She thinks that dressing as a man makes her more powerful? Lol, what a joke. Cosplaying as a man doesn’t suddenly make you more powerful, it’s your ability to stand by your principles and using your smarts to outwit your enemies is what makes you powerful. She’s just a brat. Smh.

FL’s friend always wears elegant and feminine clothing, and that doesn’t make her any less trade savvy.

Your clothes do not make you one way or another, it’s your character. Be proud of your sex, and look to find strength in it, not shallow appearances.

Most importantly, Yan’s enemies aren’t the type who will let you live a peaceful life just because they feel like it. That young master of the Cui family is very blood thirsty. She’d take any opportunity to destroy him and his trade. The Cui family and the Xu representative are dealing in dirty business, they cannot stand anybody threatening to expose them. In Yan’s case, he must fight them, or he won’t even know how he died.

Money is meaningless if you’re alone. Once you die, all of your memories will be about just working hard all the time and hoarding money. Certainly not a life worth living imo.

Agreed.

What you have described is incredibly lonely. I hope she finds love and a haven from betrayal and despair.

I sincerely dislike ZJR. Every time he pitches in his two cents, I just want to roll my eyes. He’s got no idea what hardships people have gone through, yet judges anybody who wants to do something about it. I don’t endorse vengeance either, but the way he goes about it, just pisses me off.
