Windchime

Ok that was no sismance, it was S̶t̶r̶a̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶u̶p̶ gay up romance between the leads.. So you all better watch this drama before chinese censorship find it and make it disappear from the face of the earth. I'm not even kidding :|

I loved it! What a shame the episodes were too short T^T

@奶茶圈在逃公主殿下 on Weibo posted them yesterday.

I 100% agree with you, especially on the last part of your comment. It's honestly kind of funny how some writers are so naive to think that just gore is enough to make a drama or movie "dark" like nah, gore shows rawness and it's much appreciated when something isn't sugar-coated just to avoid making the viewers uncomfortable but the plot is still the MOST important part. If I only wanted to see a guy get beaten, I can just watch the news or visit sketchy websites like your local edgy 12yo who's too afraid to even ask for extra ketchup at Mcdonalds but want to prove to his equally edgy friends that he's a badass who can handle gore. I wouldn't waste my time on a 2 hours long movie if I wasn't there for the plot.
It sucks even more that you can't openly criticise the lack of plot in these kinds of "dark" movies/dramas because you might end up offending users who so love to claim they're fan of 'dark stuff' and we're just being squeamish because of the gore.

Ngl judging by the synopsis alone, it sounds like a plot from that... Umm.. forbidden website.

It seems like the adaption changed a lot of stuff from the original movie because:
1. The protagonist was an agent.
2. The protagonist's gf didn't suffer from cancer but she was pregnant with their child at that time.
3. The antagonist wasn't married but he did had a son who he abandoned at his parent's house, His son's mother was never even mentioned.
I think the changes they made in the Indian adaption somewhat filled the plot holes and maybe made the protagonist more likeable though, cause in the original version - the antagonist's motive for raping/killing/cannibalism was never shown, and the protagonist was a huge dumbass who made a nurse raped by sicko treat that mf just so he can beat him again... Who tf in their right mind would make a rape victim treat her own rapist like that? I couldn't understand his logic at all, but since they kept the 'revenge' plot exactly same then I understand why it might be boring too.
This whole movie honestly felt like the writer's childhood dream where the protagonist is unbeatable and wouldn't die even if he got hit with a missile, while his gf only exists just to get murdered by the antagonist (because how else would we introduce the super villain?) furthermore the antagonist is only smart and have fighting skills until he meets the protagonist. It all was basically a 90's anime show lol.

Gore and body horror is fine, but how do I erase that poop scene from my memory?

𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁: If my joke suddenly affected some innocent poop-lover's feelings an year later, I'm genuinely... not sorry. Weirdo.

Idk about you all but all my doubts about the casting choices for the main leads was cleared after I saw Tan Jianci wearing a monocle in that one bts pic. He's not the gu yun we expected but he's still the gu yun we need.

Damn I thought my plan was foolproof (˵⊙_⊙˵) Are my schemes that obvious? I really need to learn a thing or two from jealous consorts in historical cdramas...

Lmao I feel you. I've dropped 'Love and Redemption' centuries ago because I couldn't bear to watch the dumb fl getting fooled by everyone and their grandma, but whenever I search (or ask for recommendations) anything related to Xianxia, this drama gets shoved on my face. Wish mdl had a feature that the drama we dropped doesn't show up when we search for a tag or genre.

Awwe don't worry about the reporters. Do I look like the kind of friend who'll make you go through that? ^^ I'll just bribe them with your money so you won't have to deal with them. If necessary, I would pay them (again, with your money not mine) to write nice articles about our drama too.

If there's no corruption or reverse harem tag then you can just add one. As long as the FL has more than a one guy chasing after her (like in 'A story to read when you first fall in love') and the politicians are being politicians or nobles are being nobles (like in 'The Treacherous') as always in a movie, you're not breaking the rules by adding and voting on those tags yourself. Reverse harem and corruption is too common hence people often don't think it's necessary to add them, that's probably why you're having hard time finding movies with those tags.

You saw that board yet still assumed there's going to be a FL? From which angle do I look like someone who doesn't get jealous easily? Nevermind some FL, I won't even allow a female mosquito around him (︶︹︺)

"Let's togther invest on chen feiyu coz your choice isn't wrong at all." It's a deal then. You're not allowed to go back on your words, regardless of how boring and cliché the script I write is (☛ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☛

Zhang Xiao Jing is like a old Nokia phone, he can survive anything and everything.

I haven't completed it yet but It's not dragging at all imo. The storyline is consistent, well written, realistic and there's no plot-holes so far. I'd suggest you to give it a try ^^

Edit: Alright now I'm on ep 22 and I admit that it does feel a bit draggy but I still don't regret watching it tbh.

Edit 2: Just completed it today and the only thing I regret is not watching this drama sooner. It's my most favourite historical now. I don't think I'll ever get over this ￗ-ￗ

This drama's cinematography, historically correct costumes, makeup and sets are so gorgeous that it's title should be 'Try not to take a screenshot challenge' instead.

Get your eyes checked and here's the "source": https://i.postimg.cc/Z5rkMdd3/0084p6-JWgy1gga5ijrf1jj30v91nm4qp.jpg
I can't find that weibo account anymore but there's still this screenshot all over the Internet. If you're still doubtful, go hire a private detective and find them yourself because I can't make a weibo account reappear from thin air just to make you believe me, and It's not like I even care about whether a stranger on internet believes me or not. That's it, I'm not going to waste more of my time on this useless argument. I've provided all proofs and the source. Meanwhile, you only had a doubt in your defence that it's an another actor whose name you don't even remember nor are you even trying to have a respectful civil discussion with me (what's up with those random ":)"? I've never cringed so hard at someone trying to pick a fight on internet lmao), so there's no point in continuing this. Goodbye and have a nice day~

As for why Xia Sini is younger in the drama or if it's actually Xia Sini, I don't know either. I never actually said that it's 100% him in the title or description of this picture, I just said that in a reply and even that was supposed to be my personal theory. The confirmed actor playing Xia Sini is indeed closer to his age in the novel

But maybe they made some changes and increased the time Xia Sini spent with Mo Ran, and Xixi is with Xia Sini in some pics because these are supposed to be scenes of Chu Wanning's actual father who looked exactly like him and his son/him in his past life? Or maybe it's just a live adaption exclusive plotline? Idk, it could also be from the chapter after rufeng sect got burned and they went to an island to evacuate the people there, including a little child who thought Chu Wanning eats babies lol. The crew didn't confirm the baby actor or ever told his real name but a few crew members did called him Xia Sini in their personal weibo posts. Wind does not come from an empty cave without reason. Anyways back to main point, even tho I'm not completely sure that baby is Xia Sini, It's still a pic from Haoyixing so your accusations are false.

Nah! That's 100% Feiyu (his side profile when he's smiling for proof https://www.pinterest.com/pin/592786369701455345/) and there's MANY bts pics of ranwan with a lil baby:

You're telling me these are from some other drama too?..
Come on, even a single Google reverse image search could reveal that it's indeed from Haoyixing. Please at least do some research before accusing me of spreading fake leaks. That's incredibly hurting because I'm a huge fan of Feiyu (so there's no way I would think a random actor is him), Xixi, 2ha and just trying to share the bts pics I liked because I feel happy to discuss and anticipate a danmei adaption together with other fans of the original novel.
