I agree, part of what elevates the show is the storyline that departs from the romance. they both have different things going on and her main goal is to stop the devil incarnate (literally). She doesn't really know the rules, she only gets one shot, and she's gotta stop this guy from killing her family.
He's so desperate for affection that he becomes obsessed with her. It's unhealthy in the beginning for sure but that changes. In the beginning, he doesn't even really know what emotions are. Also, even tho TTJ is an empathetic character and loves susu till death, ppl gotta be okay with FL not being obligated to like him back just because he loves her (I obviously love his character though). She ultimately does love him in the end, but it takes A LOT for them to get there. It's allll toxic as hell--which I love too LOL

i mean, you don't have to like susu or enjoy the show overall, but to really enjoy you need to be okay with imperfect and morally grey characters. you gotta like toxic romances

you can be our Magpie bridge or Crow Mail 🤣💕

hope they like us 🤣
we're just harmless fangirls 🌸

hope they know how much we love the show and that ppl have rewatched many times! 🤣

hi! 🌸

omg i wonder how much will end up on the cutting room floor due to editing ugh

hope all the best for him and his health!

from the costumes and coloring i thought it was serious and angst but it's fully hitting me that it's a comedy. looks delightful in the best way 😂😂

their friendship is hilarious cause they're so open and passionate
colleagues that fake 😘 for work--acting is such a weird profession lmao

bummer but i never go by the ratings! hope it rises tho

right?! i wonder if china would allow this type of plot considering their restrictions against like reincarnation despite the fact that almost all the xianxia's i've seen have some variation of loop hole that allows it to some degree lol

agreed! it kinda felt like she was created for his character rather than with

LiS definitely seems like a fan favorite!

yes! for susu, it got hindered that a lot of her dialogue was shouting TTJs name lol

Jiang Jun? i couldn't with the plot of LiS and the allergy to tears made no sense to me lmao but her chemistry with LYX was spicy!

Sangjiu being so sweet and then devilizing is what edges her past Shiyi for me (that line in the bamboo forest where she's talking about the story her dad to her and she says 'he didn't regret it so he became immortal but i can't. i regret it so much that i want to kill myself"--chills.. it was so good
shiyi i think felt the most like real idk she nailed the micro expressions

i so hope so 😂😂

yesss the answer i wanted 👏👏 i prefer angst over fluff
thank you!

loved her in TTEOTM! if i were to rank her characters i think it would be like this:
Sangjiu
Shiyi
Zhao Yao
Susu
Xie Xiang
Jiang Jun
Xia Jie

i want to say in terms of acting but i guess i'll just say my personal faves bc i'm probably biased lol

yes! wishing her character didn't get cuts due to the new regulations but thought she did great
i think ppl underrate her bc LYX is a phenom and ppl go in thinking TTEOTM is a "romance romance" if that makes sense... like they want her to go Bella Swan and fall for the Edward and never look back and they get annoyed that she doesn't love him enough... like first off, girl isn't obligated to love him at all or even bc he loves her, second the mission has always come first, third ppl think she's just sacrificing him to save her family but she's also sacrificing herself
when we finally get a show when "love doesn't conquer all" and a protag has to actually make a choice between love and duty (also their relationship is actually bananas too lol)--she chooses duty and ppl get mad lol. also ppl can hate the misunderstanding trope all they want (i certainly do and hate porridgegate) but LSS's decisions make sense to me bc at that point she is running out of time and think's he's the devil incarnate literally, the fate of the world is on her hands, and she thinks he's unsalvageable...
