Oh noooooooooo 😭😭😭

He gave her war horses which could really benefit the Qiao clan. Lolol so I can't blame him because she would've definitely liked it if she hadn't been head over heels for him already. Hahah

I think he'll go to Yujun as well.

I'm not saying she's wrong to be upset though. She has every right to be. The king's the worst for treating his sons and wife like that. And she is cunning to me. She can be cunning and also be justified, sort of. To me, it doesn't contradict. Her intentions to fight for what her son deserves are justified, but you can't say she's isn't cunning with the way she has been scheming things.

The king's actually just as cunning, but I call him fake because he's never treating his sons sincerely. He's just using them, mainly Jin Xiu, to get whatever power he wants.

The thing is, even if they don't know about Bai Cha and Hong Ning colluding after the massacre, they knew Bai Cha was her friend because she asked Jin Xiu to take him in and let him stay in Cangwu. So they all knew she was friends with him. It just doesn't make sense to me that they hadn't thought about mentioning such crucial news to her. Her friend, that she brought to Cangwu, was killing her wedding guests and her Cangwu brothers, and Kun Lun saw and knew all that. He saw his brothers lock themselves in the main hall fighting Bai Cha. So regardless of what Jin Xiu thinks and knows at this point, Kun Lun should remember about Bai Cha if he remembers asking Jin Xiu to kill him.

About Muxian keeping her memories, I think he could have just assumed she didn't drink the soup to erase her memories at the bridge. Or he's just too occupied to question it yet, maybe.

Hahaha gosh, I'm honestly so tired of seeing him already. I just speed up the episode whenever he comes onscreen. I can't stand hearing another word from him anymore.

IKR! And since Kun Lun already mentioned Tai Zhen and even explained Lu Jiu's situation, and he knows Hong Ning and Bai Cha are acquainted, why did he not think to include that important information about Bai Cha too? Just for plot convenience sake so that Bai Cha could continue to control HN. Ugh. Waiting for the truth about Bai Cha's evil doings to be revealed is draining me so much. Haha

I think it's really a shame too that the story wasn't polished enough. Honestly too many plot holes just for plot convenience sake.

It's not even the whole truth though....lolol. They forgot to mention to Hong Ning that Bai Cha was the one who killed their brothers in Cangwu!

So does Kun Lun have memories of the Cangwu massacre or not? If he knows about asking Jin Xiu to free them from their pain so that they could be reborn, then why didn't he also mentioned that it was Bai Cha broke the demons free from the dungeon and attacked all her friends and family??? They were already clearing it up that Jin Xiu wasn't the one trying to kill those people. Then why not mention Bai Cha's betrayal, which was such an important fact?

The whole truth about Cangwu's been dragged on long enough to be revealed. And now only half of it is FINALLY being told. And that BC is still walking around freely like he owns the place and still trying to manipulate Hong Ning.

Also, quite disappointed that Lu Yao's character turned out to carry such little weight. She could barely accomplish anything. She argued that she had a plan to take back her kingdom, but she actually had no plan and needed to be saved by Kun Lun in the end.

I can also barely stand the emperor and empress anymore. They're such fake parents. Okay, maybe it's just the king who's fake, and the queen's rather cunning. I still suspect if Jin Xiu is really Zhong Tian's birth son. But I'm guessing he probably is, just that the mother could be a demon.

This show is SO GOOD. I wish we get like 5 episodes a day because I can't stop watching it!!

Exactly! Lol. I also understand the whole poetical approach, but we didn't even see her having the slightest bit of urgency when every second of it counts, even during those thousand years. And it didn't make sense even more the second time because she only had one day/evening. She even had the mood to look at masks and get one. Maybe it was the direction of the acting in that part. She was too chill that it seemed a bit ridiculous. But yea, like you said, maybe it's just us. Hahaha.

I need the truth about the Cangwu massacre to be out already....Waiting for Bai Cha's lies to be exposed is even more frustrating than watching Hong Ning taking her sweet time looking for Jin Xiu. Like girlllllll we don't have much time, walk a little faster please??? Start looking everywhere!!

I also kinda pity the snakes. They were just loyal servants to their owner and got backstabbed by stupid BC. Ugh.

Just finished D&D and absolutely fell in love with her!!!! Her acting was so good!! She deserves more lead roles!!

I love this short drama so much!!! Except for the ending T^T but I guess I'm in the minority thinking the ending for Pei made sense (even though I hate it!). If he didn't kill the midwife, Ning's life and position would be threatened. She hadn't built a strong support in the court yet, so having her true identity exposed would've been a great risk and many people would come for her life instead of his. He didn't want that, so he took the secret with him to his grave.

Though I think Ning also deserved knowing the truth, she obviously wouldn't have continued taking the throne if she found out. But Pei knows she'd be a better emperor than he would, and he wanted her to continue that path without feeling any guilt.

I was reaaaaally hope there would be a way to turn things around. Seeing how Ning ended up all alone really broke my heart. T^T

BAI. CHA. NEEDS. TO. GO!!!! Get that psycho aggressive obsessed stalker away from Hong Ning!!!!

SAME!!! It makes me sick thinking I pitied him in the beginning. But he definitely gave off obsessive stalker vibes the moment he fell in love with Hong Ning at first sight. I hope Hong Ning kills him off herself when she finds out the truth.

Also makes my skin crawl thinking Hong Ning fell for the lies of someone who murdered her friends and family, betrayed her, deceived her, and is frighteningly obsessed with her. That's just terrifying. Bai Cha is the kind of scary aggressive person every girl and woman are afraid of when rejecting them. None of his actions are justified. He's honestly turned into such a sickening character.

In xianxia dramas, the celestial realm is always the one that's filled with the evilest people. Not to mention they always think they're above everyone else just because they physically are. The celestial beings are always such a pain to watch in xianxia dramas, and the heaven king is often the meanest of all, and the worst parent ever.

Just completed this. Really love it. Love that we've got both FL and ML that are actually smart, and not dumbed down for the plot to move forward. Leads had great chemistry. Both were fun characters. The mystery aspect was solid too! Need to search for theories on the ending!

Since FL worked with ML for most of his career as a director and was his producer, I'm sure she's developed basic ideas of how to direct and what instructions to give on set. Her directing skills may not be award-winning quality or have a lot of artistic value, but if she could deliver what the clients wanted (which could be very basic stuff), then obviously she could still get the job done. And later on, she was just producing films instead of directing them. So I can overlook this plot hole because it's not entirely impossible.

Not to forget, she had a team of people who had solid skills, like the editor and cinematographer, helping her in the beginning. So even if her directing skills weren't the best, those two could help make the end product look much better.

What really irked me was how she acted like it was HER biggest dream to make that film, when in fact it had been the ML's all along. She did play a part, but it wasn't entirely hers. And the ML didn't even say he'd given up on making the film, he just made a very realistic choice, which the rest of them including the FL all did at some point. This is why I'm so mad thinking about it again. It's just very double standard. I just don't get why the FL was acting all righteous and their friends looked at ML as if he was the biggest betrayer. Daheck did he do??? She always minded that the ML was taking the spotlight, and in the end she chose to steal his script and make it her career. Wow. Thinking about this again just makes me so pissed.

And yes, I agree. If the roles were flipped, people would've hated the ML for doing that and pity the FL. And what the young girl from the present said just solidified this whole weird perception the writer had.

Remember the scene during the meeting in the present, with FL's whole team plus the ML in the room? They were arguing about how the male character in his novel was a jerk, making excuses trying to look pitiful. And then the young guy from the present defended ML, saying it wasn't fair to call him a betrayer. And the young girl said if they made it into a film, viewers would be cursing the ML out. At that point, it just sounded so ridiculous to me, and I knew I was right to question the writer's logic. Basically, the FL is never wrong, and that's just so biased. All the blame had been thrown at the ML, and the FL is the one becoming successful living her dream, while the ML gave up his big dreams BECAUSE of her. Honestly, the ML owed her nothing.

I don't mind flawed characters as long as the story makes sense. But this whole concept making the FL always right just doesn't feel right at all. I'd feel the same too if the genders were switched. IDK, maybe the writer's got a whole misconception about feminism or something.
