Lol the author liked to play with our minds. He was an interesting character in the novel actually. Unfortunately…
He was very good in MJTY, I watched that before this just because I hadn’t watched any of his works at that time. ZY impressed me here, she worked hard on those action scenes and it paid off, and we get to see more of her acting range.

Agreed! They could’ve done it like Lost You Forever (but I heard this was not a high budget series?). It’s a shame, and I have to remind myself to treat this as a standalone drama because as a novel reader I obviously couldn’t not have expectations.
But regardless I am glad it at least came out despite the delays, and it seems like many ppl (who didn’t read the novel) are enjoying it very much. But also appreciate those like you who are feeling similarly and are sharing your thoughts

Yeah it’s not enough, but with 36 eps that’s all they could do I guess. There was more development in the novel, things made more sense there. Tbh they should’ve just focused on the main characters if there was no time for the supporting ones (but then we probably would get complaints on that too). I wish the 40ep rule was abolished before they made this series 😭
Maybe it’s the script, maybe there’s too much going on to fit everything well into 36 eps, but the show’s…
It’s a shame. I can overlook some things since I read the novel (which helped me fill in the gaps) but there literally isn’t time to develop the characters and plot (so many of the side stories feel random with no proper intro or ending).
I appreciate the effort to squeeze in as many characters and plot events as possible, but they have to balance that with the limited time they have.
Continuing mainly because the leads have great chemistry and the effort put into the action and choreography
Lots of similar names lol; He Yan, Yan He etc. lol

I don’t remember HY going back to her childhood home in the novel. I can’t even believe the audacity of HRF…
She did go back, well snuck in actually (with XJ). They went through the dog hole she dug out to sneak out when she was a kid and secretly went to HRF’s room to find the locked box to find evidence to bring him down.
That Li kuang guy seems like a decent man from the way Qi Luo described him. It was the war and the pressure of…
yeah i agree and feel the same. I can see why they wanted to change the approach to this emotional scene (and show XJ saving her again lol) especially since they took a more romantic route for the drama overall. It's not abnormal for her to lose composure and just breakdown right there (not knowing her enemy is approaching). But if we are talking about her character, the novel made more sense and was more consistent.
I liked the episode except for one thing...as someone that was General Feihong she should've focused on the mission…
in the novel, she was distraught but still continued fighting her way through (actually she was angry thinking XJ died and slaughtered all the enemies around her). This is more in line with her character, as she always fights to protect the ppl she loves (she only allows herself to grieve afterward). She only broke down once she saw that he was ok and cried from relief. I guess they wanted to create more of a touching moment in the drama (since it focuses more on romance than the original)
can someone spoil me. for those who have read the novel, what did Xiao Jue say to the emperor?
He sent a memorial/letter to the Emperor with a partially made up love story that they were in love and he wanted to keep HY by his side hence she disguised herself to stay by him. The emperor is a softie on these things so by the time they revealed her female identity at the palace, the emperor was not shocked and issued a marriage decree
