In the drama she actually replied that it'll be worth to be buried with him if they don't survive.

And the line he told her before he left "I will repay you in the next life" was different in the novel. His original line was "I will come back to find you in the next life! I will not be short lived in the next life! Feng Xi remember me!" Their lips touched and their tears dropped.

Their love story is beautiful and impactful that the drama had to cut it because there will definitely be a lot of
YYZ x BFX shippers.

You're welcome~ The 2nd half of the novel was my favorite with the conflicting emotions of fl with her responsibilities and personal feelings. She even got mad at ml for hiding the truth about YYZ because he knew all along.

And the fact that the fl actually had a first love unlike most stories where the fl has to stay pure and untouched for the ml. She is a well written character.
The first love was genuine, and YYZ played by a hot actor also helps. Quite a few viewers felt the chemistry with ZLS even though their love line was toned down in the drama.

Okay, gotta stop now. It's getting obvious that I like the novel. lol

The drama didn't make him come back.

In the novel, when fl killed him on the battlefield she didn't know it was him because he was wearing a mask.

It was for her sake, because he knew that she will have a hard time if she knew who he was.

I feel the need to add this detail because despite their romance being short lived, it was a genuine first love.

Iirc, its China's internet/online valentines day because May 20 or 520 sounds like "I love you" in mandarin. It became popular as a romantic day or day to express love. So dramas/movies release something on that date (tomorrow) for the fans.

Can't help but expect something for 520 since this team is good with their cp and posters.

What is up with ml's 10 years..? I did not sign up for Aragorn-Arwen 2.0. This is why JW was important. Since the drama didn't have him I thought those masters would be useful. Turns out a chef is more powerful. Now I'm back to being annoyed at LH because if she didn't backstab fl, literally, then the flower would've been useful.

Someone really had to cut the eps down to 40 and decided to keep the maid and cheating scenes but not BFHX's heart wrenching scene on the battlefield.. ZLS's arms worked hard on that scene. lol

I like HC just like novel-HC so I don't mind him getting the world. But what was the point of focusing too much on politics and the token if they're gonna follow the novel ending anyways.

Its bittersweet. LX better leave XY with FR (or FP..?). I guess she can always take FR/FP back to Qingzhou or wander again, visit the lake HC built for her.

Anyways, as a novel fan I still enjoyed the drama overall. And thanks to the stylist for ZLS's look at the end, gearing me up for CSS.

39-40/40 So the drama had the scene that moved me in the novel, but it didn't have the same effect. Maybe because it wasn't intimate.

Anyways, it was really HP that got novel-JR'd here. I was worried about QS and LJ because they had moments with fl, but I guess my consolation is she didn't lose any of her generals. And her fengyun army protecting and dying for their King Qing is what I'm here for.

Though I got clowned, I thought there'd be a kiss. At least a light one since they'll never show us the papapa from the novel. But most importantly..

And..?
I don't disagree with those. The point of Levitate and I's convo was king Yong being an awful father if Levitate's thought was true.

..?
I'm getting more confused with your replies. I didn't mention BL.

Yes extra. The scene where ml was touching/putting/doing fl's make-up/face.

Yes extra.

They kept it pg here. So I'm not judging YY's skills. lol But yeah, still ZYC.

Hahah there's just words in my 2nd language that has no direct translation. But hey, you learned something right? 😅

What I meant above was the punishment. The king was cruel watching FJ turn mad if he did that on purpose. Death would've been showing mercy as it was the appropriate punishment.

You mean the feeling of having no family left?
He still have his father and half brothers.

I liked it when FC has to tell LX to stop spacing out. Shows that even when LX is the heir, he still needs big bro in those times.

But what I loved was seeing cool fl having QS' back and her little chat with LJ (he's cute lol). I'm taking all the crumbs I can get of XY and her "few" generals while she hasn't lost any of them yet.

The wedding was nice, but since ZLS is still breathing and fully clothed, then ZYC has not been dethorned. lol FC was kilig and YY was gigil.

37-38/40 Its so good to see the phoenix by fengyun army from the novel in action.
And I like how they got king You right. He's entertaining even if we didn't get the massive shock of realizing BFHX is XY and LX. lol

But what's up with that fight of fl and HC..? So far fl's fight scenes have been good, yet this important one turned out like this.. But I can overlook because damn, the chemistry from previous sword bending is still there.

And most importantly, HC is still novel-HC so far. I mean, he better be since it seems we're having the novel ending here + the extra.

Same, if I was LX I would've left Yongzhou a long time ago and just live as FX in jianghu. lol

That's actually fckd up. Death would've been better than seeing your own blood become like that. But regardless I agree, still worst dad. And he looked shocked with FJ's words, like he really thought he was a good father keeping his kids on their toes.. the audacity.

Right? They made me hope since it was a while leading up to that.

Yes, and the shift of expressions/emotions too.
Same, I was worried because she didn't head straight home. I thought they'd only made her go when she's informed of XY's death so she really "have" to go since she seem much more concerned of Yongzhou. I mean, since they made XY make it to adulthood here, might as well give fl moments with him before the inevitable.

I have nothing against that if thats their message, but its just so sudden. Its kinda hard to immediately believe without being sus cause he's always been testing ml this whole time.

So ml really didn't know. I was expecting a pleasantly surprised reaction from him after finding out his first love and current love is the same person since they delayed the reveal this far. And also him realizing XY is fl's brother. It was kinda anticlimactic but I guess there's no time cause everyone around fl's gotta die now.

The fl saying she doesn't have family left and not replying awhile after ml said she still has him, reminds me of JW. It was always a comfort knowing she had JW, and will always have him. But he's not here.

Anyways, its still weird seeing king Yong being nice to ml. And LH is unpleasant now. lol She's lucky fl has a big heart and everyone around her is sane.

35-36/40 Finally, fl goes home. Though I still think she should've gone home the moment she heard instead of being informed, but its so good to finally have fl focused eps. even if its on the last week.

As expected, ZLS did well with what she was given with the script. XHCL director was right. And she looked so good as King Qing.

Anways, the "auntie" was ml's mom. lol
