Yeh I agree especially after today's eps I think they both do, I wish we knew who the screenwriter was so I could have a look at their previous work, but I'm hoping there's not too much angst in their relationship, and we leave the angst/drama to the demon fighting part

I know they're settings us up for one, but I hope when they both find out each others identities, we don't have too much of a misunderstanding/cold war, preferably we don't have one at all, but if we must, let it be a short one

Ngl based on the ep 34 preview of CZ, did not see that coming. He seemed so in control of his emotions, plotting against his master, not giving anything a way to anyone. A little out of character for him, but thats just based on the preview.

He Ru Fei is so dumb, one important characteristic of a general is foresight, being able to see moves ahead and being patient. Like XJ letting the emperor know that HY was a woman, he saw HRF coming from a mile away. Meanwhile HRF is impatient, wanting to expose her quickly thinking he's smart. Outplayed by XJ so easily. Also how many times have HRF used the trick of delaying reinforcements, like no ones gonna notice. Man is a one trick pony.

You can only see it on the china version of the tencent website/app, click on the tencent link above should take you to the Chinese tencent website if it's not blocked in your region. Otherwise just have to wait and people in the comments will update or if you have access to weibo. It just passed 25k, probably won't reach 28k tonight, normally on weekends it will be higher.

Episode 29 absolutely served everything we wanted, one of the best eps so far

No problem some of my favorites, probably seen some if not most as they all pretty popular but:
Story of Kunning palace
One and only (super traumatic last few eps but very good)
The double
Joy of life 1 and 2
A journey to love, really good
Rise of Ning (some people found the romance a bit weird though)
Legend of Shen li
Flourished Peony (season 1 really good, season 2 not bad but not as good)
Coroner's diary, just ended good if you're into crime solving with a bigger plot type dramas
Imperial coroner similar to one above
A wonderland of love
Just off the top of my head those of some I really enjoyed

I found it decent/entertaining personally, novel written by the same person who wrote the double and legend of female general. ML's acting was ok, was a bit stiff/bland at times but I feel like thats how he was written, wasn't bad in my opinion but nothing special. The FL was the star, really good. But be warned it's a super dark type drama similar to story of kunning palace in tone (SOKP way better though overall in my opinion). Not romance heavy or action heavy, more about plotting and schemes. Revenge and scheming and secrets always come first in this drama. Also personally I didn't like the ending. It's not a bad watch, it's decent/good if you have the time, and like those types of plotting/revenge dramas. FL was very good but otherwise nothing that special. And don't expect happy endings. If you have the time it will keep you entertained, but for me, wasn't anything too special.

Highest heat index of 2025 on tencent is The Glory with 30,180 just ahead of prisoner of beauty at 30,055, only those 2 broke 30k

The novel did him so dirty it was sad, didn't deserve it

Honestly yeh, especially since this was an S rated drama not S+, the fighting and war scenes look so well done.

yes there should be quite a few

Yeh 100% almost completely different, most characters have the same personality but some different. And besides the world setting, pretty much everything changed, which I don't mind. I would really like to know who the screenwriter is though. See if their previous work is good or not haha

They changed it compared to the novel so drama may be different and has already started their romance differently, but in the novel he fell first. He liked her long ago, he proposed their engagement, he fell first. She first got interested in him after learning he proposed their engagement, slowly began observing him then over time fell in love with him. She liked his personality, and slowly through spending more time with him, fell in love. He fell first and harder, but she loved him a lot too and fell pretty quickly after spending time with him.

The actress playing Rongewi also was in Guardians of Dafeng, didn't have too large a role but she was so pretty in that as well! I hope the maid doesn't die even know I know she probs will, hopefully not in the same way in the novel, it was too tragic.

So far just some flirting and cute movements but in the novel it is pretty romance heavy, so likely will be romance heavy as well.

Yeh 100% always going to be about money at the end of the day, but so true, Ends up hurting the viewers.

100% makes no sense, especially being behind. Like one episode behind is fine, but a few episodes being is crazy. Should just let tencent/wetv stream this globally like they are in china. Would be so much easier for everyone.

Yeh idk why linmon doesn't just let whatever streaming service they use in china, stream globally as well. They always like to change it up, would be so much simpler if they just let tencent/wetv for example stream this globally, like they are in china. But probs have to do with money at the end of the day. Either way, so annoying, it's why pirate sites are still surviving.

No problem, fingers crossed it is!
