asphyxia

i def find this plotline more logical bc the characters value all their relationships, i bet if LQY actually left Zhang Suan and went with Bai Jiusi he would be the final and most evil villain in the drama 😂

ty for the explanation bc now i feel like i need to rewatch to pick up all the details again after figuring out the plot twist 🙊

oh there are many scenes that explain later, basically before the LQY and BJS encounter, their mutual love became mutual hate so they both did many "vengeful things" to each other. trying to be vague to avoid spoilers: LQY felt abandoned after BJS left bc he didn't explain his intent to try to save her, so she suffered alone in mortal realm. she basically masked her hatred and betrayed him on wedding day so he feels hate too.

I was thinking xiaojingshan's face looked so familiar.. then I realized his actor played Shen Ting Bai in Arsenal Military Academy 😭😭😭facecard lowkey eats just like his wife's

maybe they had to work around schedules or couldn't anticipate that drama would release this early, will still appreciate any CP content tho 🫶

if they had a non-fantasy but purely historical drama with that setting, I would watch it too 😭

hi6 filming tmr, so excited 😭but ik the episode will take a while to come out so it'll be a pain to wait

iirc he started ascending the stairs when LQY and BJS were in Hong Lian's illusion and only arrived when LQY had been trapped in that jail cell. It's like different sides of the story so it's not exactly shown with proportional time frames, but we can infer that from escaping the illusion to fighting hong lian to BJS and LQY "breaking up", Zhang Suan was following the east direction to search and save her

poor guy walking up the stairs of doom only to end up in jail 😅

depends on what episode you're at, but ep 11-12 reveals all

I stick with red simply bc the heaven's immortals are always a bit bullheaded in every drama 😂

this would also affect like the entire cast: baijiusi's actions are proof of his loyalty/devotion to ruyue, being able to recognize her even through her act. it's also a challenge for bailu to be able to pull off Ruyue vs Ruyue acting as Qingyue. if they were separate people (like qingyue truly has no recollection of ruyue's past), she would never win baijiusi's affection and die under his inevitable suspicion. her path as HRY allows her to reconcile with him by chance along her revenge mission. but i agree that i will miss the ditzy Li Qingyue!!

it's zhang suan mass botting the website after seeing his crush all lovey-dovey with bai juisi in the poster 😂

im so glad i dont have to experience gaokao like all my cousins in china do, one of mine had all of her electronics taken away to focus on prepping for the exam, meaning she would miss the drama premiere 😭ik i would 100% have no self control in that situation

I think the details were in the microexpressions, you could tell that ling er accepted her punishment way too quickly for a "vengeful second female lead". also whenever she wasn't in front of baijiusi, she could be more lax when showing her care for qingyue. i feel like most of us are quite shocked/jaw-dropped from this, after all i only picked this up watching analysis posts on weibo 😖

right, should remind myself and others to add tags, sorry!

your xiewei pfp brings back memories of the SOKP days, i still remember it was ep32 in the cave where everyone went crazy over the choking 🙉🙊

im very 50/50 on this lol. EX. she was working with Fan Ling Er but the drama didn't show that as to not spoil the plot twist, but it makes sense how it was orchestrated (fan ling er played the crazy jealous SFL so she could get locked up and secretly release the white snake). for hong lian, her story seems too genuine to be part of HRY's plot, but it would be craazy if HRY actually wanted the fake widow woman to stab her so that BJS would expend his energy saving her (betting on the fact he would show up before she bled and died a mortal without completing her revenge plot). might be revealed later who knowwss

this is too much for me lololol
