I doubt it, I haven't seen that in any trailers yet. And if the drama sticks to the novel, she's not going to make any dying declarations of love. One of her final lines before she dies (in the novel), she says to him: "I only wish that for now and forever, even at the end of darkness, there won’t be you. (translation credit: Second Life Translations). I recall this line did appear in a past trailer (but rewritten differently as: "I only wish in our next lives, we'll never meet again.")

So, it wouldn't make sense that would say she loves him or anything and then still cut him off FOREVER with that "I never wanna see you again" line (and continue still try to cut him off later-- there's a later scene from a trailer where they likely meet again for the first time (?) in immortal arc and she tells him they need to continue on their own separate paths and TTJ's tear falls). So most likely no declaration of love at the end of the mortal arc/tower scene is my best guess. But it's still just a guess... so anything is possible...?

Thanks @RAMking and @insideout91. I was watching it on wetv so I guess I never checked my Netflix then. I stand corrected 😂

Even if they did, Netflix likely wouldn't drop it until way after it's done releasing anyways, especially not until after the VIP run. To my recollection, none of their past cdramas have released during/before the end of it's run on it's native platform anyways. (i.e. LBFAD dropped on Netflix way after iqiyi finished, and even viki if I recall. Untamed, Word of Honor and Who Rules the World dropped weeks/months later too). It's never truly "new" (real time) on the Netflix end sadly. I've never seen it with their past cdramas yet.

Can't remember if the drama explained the white tiger, but in the novel, the tiger belonged to his brother (Tantai Minglan) who raised it and used it to put fear in people. When Tantai Jin became Emperor, the novel said he just kept the tiger. And in the novel, it's actually also a tiger demon. However, YXW thinks it's a pretty dumb tiger (so does TTJ) though and she always chases it around/kinda bullies it and it tends to stay away from her cause she scares it, lol. There's a funny scene in the novel where TTJ came upon YXW feeding a random man and he was kinda jealous/feeling murderous until YXW pointed out she's just feeding his tiger (who just gained a physical body), lol! Doubt we'll see all that in the drama though, we probably don't have time 😂

As someone who watches wayyyyy too many true crime dramas (but otherwise no way an expert), I think he also exhibits anti-social personality and sociopathic tendancies with his lack of empathy for others. Perhaps that's some of the darkness within him that Yue Ying Xin & Jing Lan An see and fear (and why they called him a monster too). But that's not to say it's horrible or something that automatically makes him bad, someone could be both anti-social and a sociopath and still be productive member of society, it's all in how they handle those traits. So he's not without hope!

As much as she hates him, I love that her character realized very early on as YXW that because she traveled back in time, she's trying to punish TTJ for sins which he hasn't even committed yet. So I do enjoy that she was torn by her feelings of trying to hate him, but also staying true to her original self (who unlike YXW is not at all a naturally cruel person).

Right? For someone who said they couldn't dance (she said that right before picking up the harp), she did pretty good and Tantai Jin enjoyed every moment of it too!

He really is! Even his name is Cinder (if you go by youku's translation). I've also seen it referred to as ash/embers (like fire). As soon as I saw that I'm like, wow, he's literally the c-drama Cinderella! He's motherless, unloved/bullied, talks to animals, and basically marries a noble/rich girl but with tons of other stuff thrown in along the way, lmao. It's like a dark reverse ML/FL take on a fairy tale, and I'm loving it so far!

TROTAR = The Romance of Tiger and Rose

Omg, thanks so much! I totally missed that point, but that makes sense. I hadn't planned to go back and rewatch those episodes again but was pretty sure it had to been revealed at some point (cause we had specific killers in all past cases so pretty sure I was the problem and the show gave us a killer and I somehow blinked and missed the reveal, lol). Thanks again!

Hello all!
Sorry if I missed this (watched all episodes already), but can someone clarify for me who the real killer was on the Peony case? So I understand that the detective/Lao Liu's son killed Ka-Ka's mother during his thunderstorm ptsd induced rage and Lao Liu covered it up trying to blame that death on the original Peony killer (by using the moutan vs peony hairpin), and also pushed the blame onto Han Zheng for Lao Hu's death. But then who was the real Peony killer of all the other people... I don't think the son killed everyone else. So was the killer one of the bodies they found like they had originally suspected or they just attributed it to the overall killer/mystery figure they hadn't figured out yet (aka Mu Yan)? I somehow missed who the real Peony killer was and when that was revealed...? Jiu Er had closed her case (when she writes it all up and closes her case book(s) ) and I'm like, yeah I get the cover ups happened but who was the original killer....?

Novel ending is she ended up with both ML and SML according to earlier comments from those who have finished the book (I've never read it yet btw).

Tell that to the White Hair Maiden drama series, that couple must not be doing it right, so many versions and she never got her black hair back, lol😂

Also, funny note:
* FL/Huang Ri Ying's most recent drama before this one (Cry Me A River of Stars) ended with her ML's hair turning white and he never got it back (she tried dying it multiple times but failed miserably, lol. He even said her latest dye turned his hair green, haha!).
* ML/Li Hong Yi's older drama "Love Better Than Immortality" had white hair at the end for him and he never got it back either.

So in conclusion, it's unique to ginseng fairy magic + sex for the cure if you're a guy, and a magical flower to regain lost fairy powers first + ginseng fairy magic if you're a girl/already a ginseng fairy, no sex required 😂

Wow, these two are so oblivious, they didn't even bother to close the door before kissing on the bed (probably sexy times too based on her comment that they have a long night ahead, lol) when she regained her memory again that final time! 😂😂😂

I guess Bai Yue is really living up to his earlier comments to her about how he's willing to be shameless for her now. Even his pickup lines/dialogue got a lot cheesier towards the end there too (looooove it!), like how he suggested she "hold him from the back" when he gives himself acupuncture or when she's like "Dude, how long you gonna stalk/follow me?" and he goes "A lifetime!" 😂

All the kisses and sexy times in the last couple episodes made the headaches that I got from its frustrating beginning/flashbacks soooooo worth it now! ❤️

The beginning is a bit confusing. I was just as frustrated too initially .

The drama actually opens in middle of the story, that's why it's so hard to follow at first. Then it flashes back periodically to when when FL met Bai Yue/ML, with some time skips to how she met the other guys (#2: Tang Yang, #3: Cang Nan, #4: Cang Qi (current SML) & #5: Tang Huan) and how she was "killed off/died" as a result of half those guys. She "died" and came back to life again twice if I recall at the beginning of the drama, and has forgotten every thing that happened in her past lives, including forgetting about ML ☹️

After meeting guys #4 and #5, the timeline does catch up and moves more chronologically in the second half of the drama and starts to show us how it connects back to the beginning and all the earlier flashbacks as well so that helps to smooth out the timeline/plot now.

Yep, she's very flirty with him and wants to kiss him all that time (hey, who can blame the girl, he's a HOT brooding doctor 🔥) , whereas his character just seems to be more naturally stoic/reserved. Like when she was trying to kiss him the field and he's all "don't, it's broad daylight." and she's all, "oh, that means I can misbehave when it's dark?" 😂

And although Bai Yue is not as showy about his feelings (even though he loves her to death and does also initiate some kisses/hugs too), I think the show kinda implies he does actually enjoy how she's super showy/outright with her love for him.
These two are very "opposites attract" kinda personalities and have very different love languages. She likes physical touch, he likes words of affirmation/acts of service (keeping her safe and healthy).

However, I wish their kisses were more than pressed lips though. She has nice interactive kisses in other dramas, so I'm a little bit let down by the quality of the kisses here even though there's many of them. They're not horrible, but could definitely be better too!

Thank you! I searched and found the ending ost on yt.

Thank you! I also just happened to notice the titles in the ending credits yesterday too and found the opening ost on yt now (still no luck with ending ost so I'll just be patient til someone shares it).

Does anyone know that the titles are to the opening and closing theme songs? Thanks!

He should tell her. It's not like she's gonna retain it. She'll just forgot it again the next time amnesia hits, lol 😂

She's been killed off and came back multiple times. Maybe he has tried to tell her already in a past life and it didn't work out? We don't really know that right now either the way the drama's unfolded so far. I have so many questions....!
