To be correct, it’s the original general that pitched the Gu and xian family against each other and ended up killing both. Zhou zichen was only a helper that didn’t get his reward and decided to wreak havoc in between. It doesn’t make sense the general would support the ML as governor after all that was set up

It seems like the theme…and also any drama from this era do not have a happy ending…too close to wars/politics. I love the costumes/fashion from this era.

She doesn’t know until it was too late. You can’t blame her, the weight of her family’s revenge on her and the last she wants is having a child with said enemy. Her frustration and his obsession both killed their child. The ML realized fault when she tried to kilo herself and tried to do good by her. If this was a regular series, this drama would be super promising!

The actors did a great job in this series. I would love to see them in another drama. The ending had too many loose ends…to the point nothing makes sense…what a way to messed up what the earlier episodes built up to. I would like to enjoy the semi happy ending but it’s so off/impossible.

I hope they air everything!!!

Now I get why it’s call circle of love (more like revenge)…the Chinese title translates to 3 locked loves (cycle) - the plot seem like she will feign amnesia (after the suicide scene) to seek revenge on him by killing him on their wedding day. FL will most likely find out ML is not the culprit for her family’s doom etc….there you go: one dead the other regret. I hope I m wrong…I do like a happy ending.

My goodness, ep 13 was hot…how did that passed censorship

These type of storyline is as old as time lol but it sure makes for cheap entertainment!

You ll have to read the novel till the end of the moon. The ML IS 10000000x more psycho (drama version made him somewhat normal/good guy). In this drama, the ML has his demised family as the catalyst for his behavior.

LOLOLOLOL

Well according to him, her family destroyed/ruined his family. It’s their conflict and the theme for this mini series. It doesn’t seem like it will end well. One of them will die, the other one will regret type of scenario.

This is similar to maid’s revenge in some ways but with better actors, acting and storyline. Even so, some scenes are cringy lol but at the same time you want to watch more. I don’t get the short episodes …all the production and time spent on this…

I read it in Chinese and it was easy to look up the words and meanings when I got stuck. The English translation was only up to ch.75 - the city tower scene and the post math of what happen.

I rate it as is base on how much sense the drama makes. TTJ could die but the way everything wrapped up was so rushed. A lot of characters just get didn’t get closure. Overall, this drama felt like dragging in pace and storyline just doesn’t cut it for me. That’s my reason for the rating score. I do love the chemistry the FL and ML has.

Back then it’s not just one’s action you need to consider but the consequences of your actions effecting the family name. The most serious punishment death to the ninth degree (usually for a dynasty/emperor to order) in which anyone related to the family gets executed.

That’s how it was back in the days. Status in an Asian society is a type of social order.

It doesn’t explain if she’s an egg in the novel lol.. in the novel mi is 1k years old but still in the form of a child (like 6-7). She’s born as a god status since both of her parents are gods. She’s very cute in the novel.

I rather wait 3 months to watch Season 2 if it means a better coverage/depiction of the novel. The novel was such a good read and sooooooo different from the drama. Though, TTJ in the novel is a serious psychoPath lol. The drama version made him more human and warm.

It’s not just the ending that was the issue. The drama basically took the characters and partial plot/storyline and rewrite everything new. It did not stay true to the novel at all. If I did not read the novel and just watch the drama, I would still find it dragging and then the ending rushed without closure. The cast is amazing and the production was good. It was just disappointing to fans
of the novel for the
drama to turn out like that. No one is hating,
ratings/opinions are
each their own.

It’s when a aristocrat or family with a elite status falls from grace or committed a grave crime and as punishment, the women and children’s’ status are reduced to servants (working as a launderer, cook etc) or in some cases, brothels/entertainment (think of something similar to call girls vs prostitution). They are on the record and are bind to for life. They are seen as property/indentured servants. People in this status are limited in their social standings. The men in the family are sent to the border for hard labor.

Lowborn are more for people born in poverty or in environments of hard labor (farming, small business owners like street vendors). Lowborn females could marry other in their status or as a concubine .

MingLan is the first, not the latter.

They should film it in 2 parts like love like the galaxy. They will have enough ep to portray the last part of the story(from novel): TTJ reborn as Bai ziqian. It was a sweet closure for the main couple and explanation of what happen.
