Check the endings of Chinese dramas recently, you will have your answer! 🤣

Bring it on! 🤣

I want CGH to be at his craziest, LMAO.

Ooh. Me likey! Been eons since I read the first book. I think GPG took this route too!

Me! The wedding and the three-way-stabbing scenes have actually ended up being so iconic! The BGM and the song placement are so well done. Tbh, I felt apprehensive when it was announced that this drama is going to have 40 episodes and had totally expected it to derail halfway. The stunningly strong pilot and the equally strong subsequent episodes hadn't allayed my fears. I so hope they stick the landing.

Exactly! She had grown to care for the Song Family like they were real people stemming from her own desire to have grown up with her parents.
So true! If you consider Hollywood, this phenomenon happens so often! Some of the child actors I grew up with, either want nothing to do with showbiz or are stuck doing supporting roles. If you are familiar with the show Malcolm in the Middle, the three child actors who were a huge part of the show's success, went onto pursue different careers as adults.

LMAO, good one! 😂

The SML seemed a little bit of a people pleaser, ngl. I feel you on the "lazy" part. Common folks like us have to work to the bone. 🙈
I don't know if any of my theories would be proven right. 😅 I'm hoping for a decent enough finale with a happy ending, no matter how ludicrous.

Did you notice how there was a slight flicker of annoyance on the SML's face during the meeting? But then who in that room wasn't annoyed by NF's attitude?! Also, the huge support staff he absolutely cannot do without? Probably a foreshadowing of how NH has his own crew of helpers. *cough* Nightwalkers *cough* Honestly, I don't know anymore. 😅
I had come up with another theory a couple of hours ago which I had written here. I'll just copy and paste it here. (I haven't been this obsessed with coming up with possible theories since Lovely Runner.)
What's a CDrama without a childhood connection trope? 😅 What if Nan Feng and Song Xiao Yu had already met as children? NH as LSL protected her from the fire both due to the mechanism of the script and because he genuinely wanted to. What if the fire that took away SXY's parents also somehow involved NF?
In the first episode, her manager told her that the only reason she got to star as the female lead was because presumably no big female star was willing to star opposite NF due to him being difficult to work with. What if it had been made to seem that way? NF is a big star and for the right price perhaps he could have gotten someone of "equal" stature to star opposite him. What if NF had a role to play in pulling some strings and casting her? Also, she was a former child actress. So, there's a possibility that little NF fell for her then. It may be that NF's already existing feelings for SXY are magnified when within the script as NH because NH fell for SXY the actress and not SYM the original fictional FL.

Great minds think alike! 😂
Exactly! That meeting is both meta-commentary and foreshadowing of what's to happen in the last few episodes. I remember thinking that it was absolutely hilarious to have LYN's character, NF, be such an arse.

Great minds act alike. 😬 I wouldn't put it past NF/NH to actually do that, LMAO.

Ikr?! It has high rewatch value.

Yeah. Hope it is at the very least satisfactory.

ZL's another drama, The Romance of the Tiger and the Rose too has a similar premise.

I was like her translation rivals those done by Google of Mandarin subtitles. You are so right, she'd totally be at home among whoever is responsible for English subtitles at Mango. 🤣

I think NH is NF! Only he's not aware of it yet. I rewatched the meeting of the cast and crew in the first episode again to look for clues. SXY had certainly grabbed his attention with her seemingly innocent suggestion to faint at his feet during the three-way-stabbing scene. He smirks knowing that she's just messing around. Also, once the meeting is over, on his way out, he pauses and looks at her for a brief moment. Moreover, on my first viewing, I had noticed how they zoomed in on SXY stepping on NF's poster. Maybe this was to indicate her overwhelming influence over him in the future...
I also have another theory, it's even more bonkers. It involves time bending. NF is NH. He transmigrated into her world after the events of the changed script, and in order for them to fall in love, SXY had to transmigrate into the script and set the events in motion. What was seemingly NF's arrogance is perhaps him still finding his bearings in the modern world, so he cleverly had NF's manager do all the talking. He seemed to be fixated on his mobile, watching himself in historical costume, kept playing with beaded necklaces and walnuts, and looked way too fascinated by his own place card. We have seen NH to quickly pick up on things and use the acquired knowledge to his advantage even when he doesn't fully understand them. Cases in point, he thwarted the three-way-stabbing and easily picked up on the algebraic equation.
Gosh, the wait is looooong and I need to get a hobby.

I have always been a bit curious about your username. You needn't answer my question if you deem it intrusive. Is your username a nod to the novel, "The Colour Purple" or is it a reference to the idiom?
