The wonderful part about shipping is you can ship whoever you want regardless of canon or fanon. If you like TLC with a specific character, this drama will likely have a shippable moment for you. And if you aren’t satisfied with the amount you got in the drama, you can turn to fanfiction, fanart, edits, create communities and make fan projects for your ship. There’s no need to go after the writers and directors of the drama when enough food was given for various ships.
Shipping communities have always been the source of fandom creativity. Some of my favorite works still have many prolific artists and writers supplying material. And if it doesn’t then I can imagine it or write it myself. Rather than creating unnecessary drama, why not promote something positive for your ship?
Luo Yunxi’s acting in ep 31 and 32 was incredible! Those episodes were just devastatingly emotional for him. Loved the dream in episode 32 the most. Was also curious about some of the lore drops in ep 31. I’m honestly kinda worried how they’ll fit the entire backstory to the backstory in the remaining 8 episodes but we’ll see.
I get TLC's love for his "savior", but would Fang Zhou would have wanted this?
I think he would definitely want TLC to move on. But TLC said that everything he knows is from FZ so I guess the concept of "letting go" hasn't occurred to him yet. He'd rather let go of his own life than Fang Zhou's.
no in the novel she is a prostitute which obviously won't pass censorship so they gave her a softer storyline…
most women in prostitution are not doing it willingly, usually either sold into it or do it because of life circumstances. you are reading something in my comment that is not there.

i heard a lot of bad things happen to her in the novel so i'm glad they didn't adapt that. i'll probably continue reading it once the drama is done airing.
Drama is getting angsty and I'm scared. Loved the small amount of sweetness between the erstwhile brothers at Zhoudi Tower before all hell broke loose again. Finally got the full Fang Zhou flashback too. FZ is TLC's everything, his light and his life. He's holding so much pain over his death inside him ugh and it makes sense. Fang Zhou gave him the security to grasp his identity and become the person he is today.
Luo Yunxi & Fang Yilun acting is so phenomenal and tugs at the heartstrings. I'm so glad they are working together again in their next drama. I need more of their interactions, so layered & complex and the actors are bringing it out so well too.
Coming into this drama I expected more of a Tang Lici, Chi Yun & Shen Langhun trio setup similar to Mysterious Lotus Casebook, but it turns out it's actually Tang Lici, Liu Yan & Fang Zhou as the core of the story. I'm really enjoying this part of the drama most and I can see why their scenes were added to the updates especially with the direction the plot is going for the endgame.
Also wow at the Ah Shui reveals, her being so "blank" at the beginning makes sense now. Wonder what she will do next. Gui Mudan reveal had me shook too.
Additionally, really enjoyed the snippet of TLC's background during the festival. Hoping to see more about that in the next episodes!
I hate romance, recently Guardians of the Dafeng was the first cdrama I watched in years with a female lead who…
you can try dramas with female leads that are more about the FL than the romance - example is story of minglan. it’s not a problem to not like romance!
but this drama doesn’t have a romance plotline so you won’t be annoyed by it.
Some comments are vague enough to not be spoilers but now that we’re reaching endgame for the drama, can commenters please be mindful to new viewers and those who are catching up and utilize the spoiler tags?
