This story is dark whereas The Autumn Ballad is more delightful. The relationship is also more toxic here for many viewers, whereas TAB makes you feel good because the ML is very good. The FL does marry the SML but it is only a one-sided love and the SML uses the marriage to protect the FL; it's a marriage by name only and they divorce later so it doesn't leave a bad taste. The love story here is very sad, but it's worth to watch. Just have a happy drama ready when you finish this one :)

That (horrible subs) and also there are only 74 ratings as of now.

ML is Wang Dalu not Xiao Zhan, so yes, he has a lot of screen time with FL and their romance is very good.

I laughed my head off when she hit herself and those blue black eyes XD XD XD

Zhao Lusi is so hilarious. Great acting!

HE :)

... and in his present life, Lu Jingnian is called Hu Li which has the same homophone as "fox". Brilliant! :D

The more I think about it, the more I feel the ending is brilliant. Not only it puts our main couple back together again, it also resolves the Emperor's predicament whether to execute Lu Jingnian or not, as according to the law, Lu Jingniang should be executed for what he has done.

So viewers, don't be despair. Lu Jingnian didn't die. He just teleported to present day through playing the music from the magical script, similar to how Li Sasa came to him while playing her pipa. This time, he wouldn't be like Li Sasa; there's no return, so he wouldn't disappear into oblivion like Li Sasa did.

So viewers, don't be despair. Lu Jingnian didn't die. He just teleported to present day.

She leaves him because she doesn't want him to see her disappear into oblivion. She knows he will follow her in death, as indicated his father followed his mother in death and he's like his father. She thinks if she rejects him, he may feel she's not worthwhile to die for.

The Emperor gives Lu Jingnian second half of an ancient musical script that says 歸人當歸去向所去which literally means "go where you wish to go". The Emperor also hints, "Go and never return". The book has magical power that would take Lu Jingnian anywhere he wants to go.

This is my interpretation of the ending:

This is my interpretation of the ending:

The Autumn Ballad is very good in terms of romance but ruined by the haphazard ending. The Long Ballad's romance is pretty good too but not as good as The Autumn Ballad. Furthermore, The Long Ballad is ruined by the fighting scenes which are basically in comic drawing form. The Wolf is good but the relationship is rather toxic for some viewers. So I would recommend The Autumn Ballad first, then followed by the other two :)

Yes, it's delightful :)

This drama is very cute, and Zhang Binbin is so good looking. But it comes apart after the second half. Try the Autumn Ballad and A Dream of Splendor.

I couldn't get into Ren Jialun's dramas before this one too. But he looks exquisite in this one.
