I do not understand why the writer killed off all of Yan's people and Shrimp. That is so cruel. Loud, Cao, Wei…
This is from a writer's standpoint: The director and writer(s) were aiming at a Chinese rebirth theme here. From the ashes of total death, the phoenix arises and we get the new person. Duan Wu, in Buddhist/Asian tropiness (is that a word), has to let go of/sacrifice everything to be the phoenix, Su Mu Zhe.
It's also a unique turn of the standard male gaze POV. In most male-centric stories, we have the Hero's Journey, where the young ML would lose everything to get to the next level of maturity. In Wuxia, he learns a new special kind of martial arts that would help him be the new person. In Xianxia, he steps into new powers through cultivation and thus saves the world.
Here, we have a female empowerment story that actually tries to embody these themes, but with the woman's POV instead of our usual male fare. There is no man to back her up; she alone is in charge of her destiny; she would be the King Arthur of her world, pulling that sword out of the rock. It's a pretty cool thing the director and writer(s) are doing in this drama.
Probably Yu Chi...He was the only one who didn't appear during the massacre.
Oh, that! Regina has a subtopic on the other forum inviting people to rewrite the wrong things in KMLM. I've been playing around there with many wonderful readers, sharing what we'd have done with the stuff we didn't agree with. Everyone's ideas have been very interesting to read!

What do I mean what, sweetie? What do I mean by saying I admire your restrain? I mean, I do. It's difficult to just read spoilers and not watch, so you have my admiration.
There is no book. There is only a prologue from which they adapted the story. Nobody knows anything, especially…
In C-Dramaland, when someone expresses their hopes and wishes about their future with the heroine and it's just early in the story, it's usually kaput for them. HHAHAHAHAHA. It's the law!

Oh, so you know the characters but haven't really watched any episodes? This guy is not a main cast character, so...oh well, never mind. I really admire your self restrain. Miss Regina will take care of your questions :).
I knew it was coming because I accidentally read a spoiler from someone who had read the book (come on, book readers,…
