Agreed. I haven't really been emotionally affected by a drama since the ending of Goodbye My Princess. All the actors in LYF are so so good. They all are able to interpret and portray their roles so well that it makes me empathize with them, even the flawed ones. Such a good and sad story but I love it! lol

His marriage is merely for political alliance. His consort seemed very nice in S1 and I did feel sorry for her...being forced into a loveless marriage by her family. Here in S2 when he marries Chenrong Xingyue as his Queen/Empress, you'll see all his concubines. He had to take in all the central plains' clans daughters to pacify them. Lol. Even with a harem full of women, he could only think about XY 😬

I read from another platform a comment from someone who's read the novel. I don't know why the director left the battle scene like that and then cut to their reuniting in such an unsatisfactory manner. In the book, reinforcement troop came just in time to help Xiao Heng and Yan was able to win the war. They had a daughter and lived happily ever after. I can't seem to find the extra episode showing their happy family life together but it's out there.

Yeah, he seems off. I wouldn't be shocked if he is the mastermind.

Ruo Qian seems a bit sus with his constant happy face. I hope he's just a sweet guy and not a hidden villain.

Totally forgot about The Fated General. It's buried deep in my to watch list.

I'm curious, did Grandmaster Ye Luiyun intentionally restore FX's qi?

Just curious, which two dramas of his got cancelled?

yes! I started yesterday and I'm up to ep 14. lol

Lol, her boss' unlucky color. She looks stunning in that yellow dress, ep 3.

Story actually sounds interesting. I saw leaked still pictures of Yang Mi for this drama and I'm glad to see she isn't going to be made up in fancy makeup and pretty clothes. Curious to see her acting range outside of idol dramas.

I'm watching it on IQiyi and they originally listed it with 38 episodes. Perhaps it was cut to 36 but IQiyi is just now updating/correcting it. I thought it was weird.

Just noticed today the episodes dropped from 38 to 36. Wonder why the extra cut while drama is still airing?

I didn't read the synopsis but did watch the trailer. I assumed ML & FL met when ML is an adult. Didn't know she raised him from prepubescent years. Ngl, it is giving me weird vibes but I'll try to keep an open mind 😬

Same! Binging S1 all weekend long.

I was going to say, his side profile on the drama poster looks sooo different...in a good way. I think he looks very handsome with more muscle.

Thanks!

If I may ask, where are you watching the show? Iqiyi has ep 7-24 locked up, even for paid VIP members. They want subscribers to pay extra premium to watch the remaining episodes.

Just watched the trailer. Looks interesting. I'm loving that it's 20 episodes. I hope to see more quality shorter dramas from the Chinese entertainment industry. Anything above 30 episodes is just too long (for me).

I don't like big age gap as well, but the story is about a much older, experienced General/Prince who's never been married and because he "died" in the line of duty, they married off a young girl (ghost bride) to accompany him in his next life. In ancient times, girls married as young as 14/15.
