What are the chances that Cha Eun Woo would be in another drama about beauty? Though I fee like he our his team have a very strategic type of drama they pick for him. I picked True Beauty randomly because I thought it might give me My ID Is Gangnam Beauty vibes. Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone it took me a while to realize my beloved Cha Cha Eun was in this! Ha-ha!!! This was a very solid first episode. Starting right out of the gate introducing viewers to Lim Joo Gyung and how the world started ragging on her looks from baby strolling on. It's heart breaking to see how openly people call her ugly. Strangers seeing her as a baby and saying she's a boy. Then older playing a game with grandpa and they whole family just starts ragging on her. I just can't imagine your loved ones doing that and your parents just kind of snickering about it. The cruelty about her looks continues into high school. And can I say as someone who has suffered severe cystic acne I was offended that it's such a big deal. I never had judgements about it cause sadly acne happens. Though if there's truth to the obsession of skin and pores like I see in the dramas I watch . . . I guess I can see that. It's a cultural thing. What I love is seeing Joo Gyung's journey. Seeing what she bonded with to cope. The comics and horror things. Her taste in music. Even though she's bullied and runs errands for the mean girls she still has a sense of self. Despite it all she has confidence and stregth. Enough strength to ask a boy out! Go girl! Seeing the mean girl bait the guy Joo Gyung likes is heart breaking. Soon they're humiliating her as she's dumped recording it and adding injury to hurt. Not to mention this jerk of a girl takes away the guy she likes, but has the one person Joo Gyung thought was her friend join in the bullying. Because that's some seriously messed up psychological warfare. (I fear for this mean girl! What a on earth is going on in that head?) Things turn dark. Joo Gyung is ready to end it. She thinks things through and decides not to. Enter Cha Eun Woo's character, Lee Su Ho, who sees her still on the ledge and saves her. Things go to a more lighted hearted bits in a truly talented fashion. With a hilarious piggy back stair scene. Despite what just happens Joo Gyung's kindness and empathy are powerful as she realizes the guy who saved her, a mystery to her yet as she can't see, must have known someone who committed suicide. She perceives this and even tries to comfort him. Then the hilarity of realizing she left a suicide voicemail for her mother. Then things align Joo Guyng's dad messes up financially and they have to move back to their old house and a school transfer is an option! Woot! Joo Guyng's chance to start over comes and she's going to use the power of makeup to get her there. (And let's be real we all know she's really beautiful. Acne and glasses do not make a girl ugly!) I love seeing her journey with makeup! It was hilarious and reminds me of my struggles with it to this day! I also loved all the tie ins of Joo Guyng touching on Lee Su Ho's life! I love it when a drama shows how even though they don't know it the FL and ML are part of each other's lives. It was fun seeing her family's reaction about the makeup after Joo Guyng has mastered it. Not to mention I wonder if they'll keep her secret and how hard they will be on her for doing it. Or if they even realized the type of abuse she got for being "ugly". Another super appealing aspect of True Beauty is the family it feels so real. Especially Joon Guyng and her brother. Who decides to blackmail her with photos of her real face. The makeup discovering is going to be an interesting thing. Like the makeup is waterproof, but it rubs off on Lee Su Ho's school jacket just like that? It's so uplifting seeing Joo Guyng be immediately accepted and her shock of it. Making friends and actually getting to go out with them and have fun. Forget getting a guy. Just having gal pals!!!!!! I am shocked that Joo Guyng wasn't too nervous about going out without makeup on. Because of course she bumps into Su Ho immediately . Cha Eun Woo playing a different character a cold aloof person with made fighting skills. Very impressive. I love that they're fighting over a comic and end up just like on the roof. It's tickling my brain to wonder what Su Ho is gonna think seeing the girl that he thought he was saving from suicide in front of him. Er. On top of him. I will say the episode ran exactly how I thought the plot would go to kick off the story. The writing and acting made a very obvious plot and story fun. Refreshing. Joyous. This is a deep message, but it doesn't feel preachy. I'm curious as to how the writer will handle it from her. I love all the unique touches and how they will give this story depth. (Oh, and can I say how much I felt Joo Guyng's joy being in that comic bookstore!!!)

Dongfang had me swooning at the end of this! To only marry the one he loves. Which I thought was said with the confidence of the man in charge. Of course he can say this completely with faith. Of course I know he's gonna have to cave. Though I was totally disappointed that Jie Li didn't upon up her narrow mind more! I thought she figured out that Chang Heng | Xiao Run clearly can't kill his wife on his wedding night. The clear choice that fate is picking is Dongfang!!!!!! Also, my translation had Jie Li calling Fairy Dan Yin | Qu Shui a she not a he? I thought it was a he and that's why Shang Que was threatened. I'm going to hazard a guess it's my translation. Oh, and I figured Rong Hao was gonna do some mass murdering. Bummer. Bummer. Overall I thought this was another great episode. More hi-jinks! Dongfang finally claiming that Orchid is his wife so that Chang Heng will drop the matter. Not realizing how deep Chang Heng's love runs. Jie Li then claiming they're siblings. Then to cover her butt stating Orchid will marry Chang Heng and Dongfang to Chi Di! Great fun! I loved how much I laughed. The touches of Rong Hao's story kept it grounded enough to remind viewers that dark things are still going on. The lantern scene between Orchid and Dongfang was so moving. Though it broke my heart that he wishes for her to be with him forever. Orchid wishes that though she must leave him that he won't be lonely again and will have friends and happiness. It's so beautiful.

This was such a hijinks episode!!! Starting off with Orchid and Jie Li spying on Dongfang. Who is making besties with Chang Heng | Xiao Run and it was hilarous when Dongfang actually refers to him as "Chang Heng | Xiao Run"!!!!! Ha-ha! Things get serious at the start soon after as it's revealed what Rong Hao did to save his Master. More importantly whom he teamed up with. Soon it's clear that Rong Hao was totally duped in the beginning and at this point I think he's convinced himself that if he hadn't been tricked he'd have made that choice anyway. It's heart breaking to see how delusional he is, but also to see him pull away from Die Yi as she gives him that back hug. He's clearly missing out on the master connection there. You know full circle stuff. The biggest key is finding out Orchid is not Xie Wan Qing [Chi Di Nu Zi Former God of War] or Xie Wan Qing [Chi Di Nu Zi Former God of War]'s sister. I really thought this drama was gonna pull that . . . well drama! (Sorry I couldn't resist.) I like that we finally find out who and what Orchid is! It's so fitting and I kept thinking "our girl is gonna be super powerful!" She reversed forbidden magic! She healed Dongfang's emotional root!!!! Love Root!!! She purifies evil spirit! Which breaks my heart that Rong Hao can't see that his Master had a plan and she probably wanted to protect Orchid no matter what. So hi-jinks. That's what most of this episode is after the huge awesome info bombs that finally give answers!!!! Orchid soon finds out that Chi Di Nu Zi saw Dongfang and is in love with him. Dongfang finds out that Chang Heng still remembers Orchid. So they're trying to hook up Chi Di Nu Zi and Chang Heng together. We all know fate ain't letting that fly! Orchid is of course adorable trying to deal. I did not expect Dongfang to be so hilarious. When they both end up hiding together it was perfection!! I laughed so hard while chanting "kiss, kiss". I know the kissing wouldn't happen but still. Shang Que and Jie Li have some jinks as well. As Jie Li thinks she likes Dan Yin!! Ha-ha!!! It's gonna be so funny if Jie Li keeps pursuing Dan Yin and then finds out she's a female fairy later. Too funny. Though I'm so shocked how stupid Dan Yin is as a human. When she was putting things together so well . . . maybe that's what happens in LBFaD is that you become opposite of what you are as a human?Overall I loved this. It was great fun while tossing in some darker things. Because now all this crazy has been set in motion, but Rong Hao has to figure out how to feed the evil spirit again. I'm afraid of how he's going to do it.

Are Rong Hao and Xie Wan Qin the true love story here? I'm starting to think so. For some reason I thought Orchid would end up being Xie Wan Qin or a fragment of her. Or something. But a little sister . . . now I like that. What I didn't expect was how in to Rong Hao and Xie Wan Qin as a couple I'd be. He's done so many things to get her back! This is clearly the couples episode. Dongfang asking Shang Que what he feels for Orchid and how he reacts differently to her now what so cute. Espeically as Shang Que looks at Jie Li and confesses he has the same ailment. Poor Shang Que not being tortured by Jie Li as Jie Li constantly tries to "help" Orchid. Poor Orchid who has decided, despite caring fr Dongfang, she can't ally with him. Especially as she's trying to stop him from doing whatever he's planning and keep Chang Heng safe. Chang Heng who remembers his fairy love, but will marry Chi Di Nu Zi | Xie Wan Qin because of the promise. Funny that this time around Chang Heng is not being held to it by anyone but himself. It's even weirder seeing Dan Yin as a boy named cricket! Poor Dan Yin. I feel like the writers just want to torture her. I hope she get a Happily Ever After at some point.

Picking right up from the last episode the emotional roller coaster continues. Dongfang Qing Cang's conversation with his father just makes all the feels go crazy. I honestly didn't expect Dongfang Qing Cang to decide to keep his feelings. Especially since he already went through the first part of removing his emotions. Deciding to keep the grief of killing his father and all those cruel emotions to try and keep the good. The goodbye between the two broke me as Dongfang Qing Cang could not give his father peace. (I don't blame him.)Dongfang Qing Cang immediately feels the consequence as the day is his fathers death and his brother execution. Dongfang Qing Cang stops the strikes and takes the majority of them in place of his brother. Orchid is amazing standing up for Dongfang Qing Cang and making his little brother face the reality. Even giving Dongfang Qing Cang advice later how to deal and mend fences. What's more Dongfang Qing Cang makes Orchid take care of him longer than she needs to and that was cute. Especially after she comforted him. Clearly from here out we're going to be getting way more emotional stuff. Which is great. But it's clear that Orchid expects Dongfang Qing Cang to change a lot and I doubt he's reading to give up his goal of taking over the fairies and war. This episode and the last one didn't do much to expand the other plots and characters. We're deep diving into Dongfang Qing Cang. I'm waiting for some of those intense LOVE emotions to strike with our forbidden romance.

Hats off to the writers for making Dongfang Qing Cang's back story so emotional and amazing! It's so good. My emotions are being put through the ringing! Every time I think it can't jerk at my heartstrings a new string is plucked. What's more is how Orchid has complete faith that there is more to it than what people are saying about Dongfang Qing Cang. Oh, My poor, sweet, Dongfang Qing Cang. To see what happens to the maid. Then watching him subject himself to having his Love Root killed again after him trying to set fire to it with his Hell Fire didn't work. I mean. His Love Root is fully revived and watching him face the anguish of feeling is so painful. Yet he didn't notice he was using Hell Fire to try and kill the Root. (Or am I just confused by what the Hell Fire looks like.) It's unclear of fear of losing his power or feeling those emotions drives him to go through that terrible torture again. Or something else all together. Orchid's belief that there was more is truly amazing. Searching for clues and finally figuring out how to get the answers. Orchid is going to have to face that she truly feels for Dongfang Qing Cang. That ending!!!!!!

This epsidoe took a very unexpected turn. Not in a good way. It reintroduces a character to who sold poison to Orchid. Jie Li . Jie Li . I really don't like her. Even if she got Shang Que to think of Orchid as his Empress for just a moment. This episode was mostly useless hijinks. I was . . . well let down. Orchid now knows about the Heart Curse. Also, because of Jie Li, she fishes for whether Dongfang Qing Cang really cares for her or not. His Love Root is gone. Ripped away with forbidden magic by his father. This makes Orchid happy because Dongfang Qing Cang doesn't hate her, he just indifferent. Or unfeeling in general. She now thinks that she can help him. Apparently she's seeing this snow island with the tree? I didn't expect that. I'm supper surprised how confidant she feels that she can help regrow his love tree. What's more interesting is that Dongfang Qing Cang doesn't say he no to her growing it back? Does he really want to feel again? Not to mention that he's been using the Hell Fire while feeling Orchid's emotions! Wouldn't that mean he should be able to than? Unless it's this convoluted thing about only his emotions mess with it, but I thin k feeling someone else's emotions and controlling it should prove total mastery. It also makes me wonder if Dongfang Qing Cang's father wanted to do that to his youngest son and Dongfang Qing Cang wanted to save him from it.Wow! Chang Heng's sudden absolute conviction t go back after Orchid is impressive. A little late, but I guess better late than never. He's decided that playing aloof didn't work. So everyone else be damned. I wonder how Chang Heng will react knowing that he's a person that will be betrayed by Rong Hao. He even said he knows Rong Hao will do anything to get his Master back. Wow, that's an understanding. Good plot setups, but honestly I wish Jie Li stayed away!

My issue is that I am invested in these characters. I feel that there is so much to them, but I'm still stuck waiting for this drama to leave it's standard writing and stereotypes behind. It did tickle me that Fairy Dan Yin looked into that not and say that Orchid and Chang Heng get married. In both realms. I feel like that tree was all "you try and take me out with your tantrum I'll show you something!" Despite everything I do feel like this episode might be a turning point. Orchid showed all those terrible women that she is beyond better than them. She's smart and clever, and stepped up to save all their bacon. A truly amazing person. It was also interesting seeing Chang Heng's true feeling for Orchid. Poor sap is not hiding it well. There's also . . . something suspicious about Chang Heng's drinking partner, Rong Hao. He wants to know what Chang Heng is really feeling and he's picking up on things . . . in a lethal way. I don't know how to say it. I don't think he's just a friend, I think the man is shady. Bravo to this epsidoe for making Orchid such a real and amazing lead. Also, for making poor Dongfang Qing Cang and Shang Que just go crazing trying to help and keep her safe during that whole test!!!! Ha-ha!!!

So hear me out. Watching Dongfang Qing suffer is hilarious. He spent all that time stupidly collecting the morning dew. I mean what an imbecile put the bowl down to catch the drips and, I don't know, read a book while waiting. Seriously!!! So that's all fun and good. Not to mention hearing Orchid talking about him made him wonder why he should care, but he got to listen to her kind thoughts of him. However. Orchid doesn't know how to take care of herself? She just keeps buying expensive elixirs that don't work. Maybe even made her sick in the past. Or almost kill her like what happened now. Does she not know she's a Xilan Grass? Is it a lost knowledge thing? Or what? That annoys me. She needs to heal her roots . . . but hasn't bothered in the last 1,000 years to know how . . . or just was too lazy to do the work? I mean we find out the lighting there isn't ideal . . . but still. I find this odd. Then after Dongfang Qing puts all the effort in to healing her she drinks her elixir which poisons her. Would have killed her if Dongfang Qing hadn't been there!All of that only frustrates me more as we get to see past Orchid with Chang Heng. (And I feel like a moron I didn't realize that was grass on the handkerchief and it represented her!) Orchid of the past is so smooth and cute! I loved the continuing flashback scenes from 500 years ago. It made me so sad for Chang Heng when his older brother AKA the ruler of all chided him for having feelings for someone when Chidi (got it this time!) hasn't been seen. At least he gave him the handkerchief back. I don't like the trope that clearly Orchid is going to be Chidi or a bit of her or something. At least that's how it's going, especially if it's sticking to the stereotype. They're engaged, but one of them is missing/supposedly died, but now their in love with someone else. That someone else is the reincarnated person they're engaged to. When done right, it can be epic. Yes. We'll see here.Overall I liked seeing Dongfang Qing crack a little. But I don't like how the last episode and this one it feels like they're trying to make Orchid's character annoying. Cause I like her . . . I don't want to be annoyed. The star moment of this episode is when Dongfang Qing realizes Orchid is lonely. But better. Best! Is when he tries his own cooking and realizes Orchid suffered eating it so she didn't hurt his feelings! Ahhhhhh!

Again another stereotypical episode. There were some very cute moments. Yes. Again I am so surprised I'm not beyond annoyed with Orchid. It has to be the actress. She's bringing some kind of amazing skills to the role that's making me tolerate the character. Even with burned finger drama and stuff. (Which normally just makes me roll my eyes so hard.)The nightmare aspect is interesting. So Dongfang Qing Cang had felt fear in the past, but so long ago it took him a while to remember it. So . . . when did he quit feeling emotions? AND. He's never experienced a crush or love. The warm fuzzy emotions? Because when he mentioned the picture to Orchid he couldn't identify what she was feeling. Call me a hyprict but I actually like that Chang Heng and Orchid apparently have a past. She saved him, or at least helped him, 500 years ago!!! Goodness! Why was Orchid only talking about how Chang Heng saved her? So interesting, and I want more. But I don't like how quickly Chang Heng gives up on her and walks away all the time. The whole "but he showed up and just got pulled away before she could see him" is a trope I loath! But I'm still interested in their past. I'm a nut. A drama nut.The twist that Dongfang Qing is going to have to nurse Orchid is hilarious. Yes, sometimes the ML actually get to nurse and take care of the FL sometimes. But it's so good here because Dongfang Qing is just soooooo terrible. Ha-ha! Watching him suffer is going to be nice.

So freaking tropey!!! I'm bored. A few things were cute and fun. Dirty laundry time: I LOATH it when the FL thinks the ML is in to her. Because she doesn't know why he's paying attention to her/following her around. EVEN MORE. I PASSIONATELY HATE. HATE!!!!!!! When the FL finds things endearing or kind that the ML is only doing because they benefit him. Oh . . . LBFaD is gonna have to walk a very fine line to not tick me off.Overall this was okay. I really liked how Creeper, the vine, tried so hard to hit to Chang Heng that Orchid was in danger. It felt so odd he thought to go there and check in, but couldn't pick up on not thinly veiled hints!! All she needed was a freaking song and dance to make it any more obvious that Orchid was in trouble!!!!!! I will say Dongfang Qing Cang crying because Orchid is upset is hilarious!!!!Now I'm just waiting for this drama to step it up.

Good news! Visually things have clicked for me with LBFaD! The whole prison scene looked amazing! Especially those dramatic body swapping kisses! Sadly, everything else was pretty boring. It's very standard xianxia drama (Waxia) whatever you want to call it. The FL is in the right places as the right time. The ML is annoyed by her, but is finding out fast that feeling Orchid's pain and getting injured with her isn't a fluke. The mysterious Spirit Book that Orchid stumbled across is clearly the missing Chibi (is that right?)'s leaf. It's not confirmed, but he can't free his soldiers as her spell is still working and many discoveries. Overall I felt . . . meh. I know that C-dramas can take a while to get their footing. So I'll be patient. I oddly enough still like the lead and find her ridiculously adorable. So I'll take that as a win.Random thought. Does this mean any time FL and ML kiss they'll swap bodies? And will the hair turn white when Orchid is in ML body?

Normally when I'm this amped up and excited to start a drama the first episode may not live up to certain expectations. However, I've come to understand sometimes C-dramas have a bit of a rocky start. They don't have as long a run time and normally have info dumps galore! Instead we get a minor info dump and instead get into the current time line. We're introduced to Princess Ping Yuan. A sassy Princess right after my own heart! I do love her! She plays the people around her and we get to see how clever she is and loyal. Protecting Wolfie. Wolfie who gets one heck of an introduction. Phew! That is some seriously oogling candy there! I'm not complaining about over sexualizing the main. Oh, no. I'm just seriously observing. (And freaking out at the prospects of how they might introduce Xiao Zhan's character.) I mean the glisten and mini strip tease has to be enjoyed. https://kisskh.at/profile/silent_whispers/feeds/RdemBFPNo really. First we oogle and then we awe. Sure the awe is due to the Wolfie now playing with the cute cubs. Sure. That's it. So we find out fast that Princess Ping Yuan has known Wolfie for about a year. She's helping to make the place scary and close up the mountian to foolish hunters. With baby cubs that cute and Wolfies this hot it's the only smart thing to do. I like that she's trying to teach Wolfie about humans, as she assume he's the baby of a scholar who got lost or something. She sets up a play and it tells the story of how the two meet. It's pretty cute. I also like that we get a taste of how fast humans can anger, and that some people can care and help. And of course help a mob to chill out. It's a very interesting setup. This was a great episode in setting up players. Though the history lesson at the start kind of went over my head due to the speed. The writers really want to focus on the present storyline. Personally I applaud anyone who doesn't have to rewatch the opening, and honestly that's my biggest gripe. Which isn't much of one. Overall this a great start and I can't wait to see more unfold. I love Princess Ping Yuan and her relationship with her father. It's so cute! They're cute together! Some of the setups here are maybe over done and just meh. Princess Ping Yuan's half brother/step (not sure which yet) is against her as well as the new wife/mom. So that's standard. I do like how she played her brother. Setting up a evil man with power rolling in who just so happens is after wolf meat is a pretty standard step. Though I can't believe he thinks that will cure him? Is he there for another reason?The cliffhanger is well done. A cute wolf cub is in danger of being eaten and Wolfie is endangered by a daring rescue. Head right in to Episode 2. No point in waiting!

Isn't it funny that no one else noticed that Chen Qian Qian is a different person? Or changed. I mean Han Shuo has found out that Chen Qian Qian is different, but he knows her through word of mouth and rumors. The Queen who loves Chen Qian Qian so much (which I'll talk about more) and sister Chen Chu Chu. While Chen Xiao Qian / Chen Qian Qian talked about how lonely she is and has no one I believe it's very true for the "real" Chen Qian Qian. Because her own mother and sister don't notice the huge differences, or pick up on the queues. Oh, but enemy Lin Qi has. And of course it's the thing that I wanted Chen Qian Qian to have merged/transferred to her. Oh, well. My dream would be for Han Shuo to teach Chen Qian Qian how to fight. Han Shuo was pretty awesome in this episode. Building off of last episodes heart to heart confessions from Han Shuo it's incredible to see him read Chen Qian Qian and for him to realize that she was very afraid of getting her shoulder put back in place. Which only makes the later events harder to stomach as the trust between the to is ruined when Han Shuo finds out that Chen Qian Qian was really trying to set him up.Which led to two things that I love and shocked me:1. Chen Qian Qian's mom really loves her. I mean that end scene was moving.2. Did Chen Qian Qian get the Dragon Bone that fast?!!! So it's always standard for Crossworlds Travelers to find out that their "family members" in the alternate reality all hate them and want them dead. With some lesser family members maybe actually caring. I'm not totally sold on Chen Chu Chu fulling caring for Chen Qian Qian, but there's no animosity there. HOWEVER, if it is there I feel like the story is setting it up for Chen Chu Chu to believe that Chen Qian Qian is working against her. It is obvious that Chen Qian Qian's mother loves her so much and I know it's mentioned that the Queen loves her. Favors her. It wasn't until that final scene that I fully realized how much she loves her youngest daughter. I mean the DRAGON BONE! She barely cares what her daughter just did. Oh, no. She's just worried about protecting her. *sniffles* I'm not tearing up!!Now about the Dragon Bone. I am still so shocked that this all happened so fast! So early in the drama! Which thrills me as now things are getting so real. I mean the bold turn means that The Romance of Tiger and Rose means business. This episode was a wild, moving, and hilarious ride!!!!!! I was so stunned by so many of the reveals. We're still left in suspense as to whether the cure worked for Han Shuo—I resent that. So that's a cliffhanger combined with what the ramifications for Chen Qian Qian is going to be. Not to mention what this means for the plot. *Happy Dance!*

I was beginning to wonder if Han Shuo had totally lost his edge. When he went begging and crying to the Queen so that Chen Qian Qian could have/help Su Mu. I mean I was worried. He's giggling. Slapping oranges and telling it it's cute. But the edge is still there. He brought in a spy by having all the musicians brought in, and then even placed them at Chen Chu Chu. Even while falling for Chen Qian Qian the temptation to poison her so that the Queen might bring out the Dragon Bone pops up. Oh, boy is he tempted. But one of the most important conversations, and character development scenes, happens and Han Shuo becomes a fully fleshed out character. Which is what I believe Han Shuo's other world self was telling Chen Qian Qian. More growth. My heart broke hearing how at sixteen he was diagnosed with heart disease and those around him already counted him dead. Wow, the emotions. This was also a solid way to show Pei Heng falling for Chen Qian Qian, but I feel like they should and are now good friends. I don't think Pei Heng could ever make a good love triangle, but I doubt a good friendship only thing will be embraced. Because you know. Though I like how he comes to her after the dislocation. Even if it dashes my hopes that Chen Qian Qian's fighting skills transferred over. Usually with this genre it doesn't happen. What's even more hilarious is seeing the men face the same abuse and judgement that women normally get. It's also saying "See a revolution needs to happen so that these men can have freedom." It's funny. What I would love is that if Both sides could see each other's views and the cities merge and embrace equality for all of the sexes. Using Su Mu as a way to show freedom of learning, and that Pei Heng is a man of power trapped in a woman's world and tries to break out of the "stereotype" was funny but brilliant.I do think this drama has definitely found it's groove! I love all the ideas and possibilities right now. The Princess School isn't being over done at this point, which is nice. It's also interesting seeing how the men like the more "conventional" Chen Qian Qian. I feel like I should be annoyed, but I'm not. *shrugs* YOu know cause this is a world where women are on top and Chen Qian Qian is just like "nah, I'm gonna let this man protect me", but she's sticking to her skills on survival. But that's why I was hoping the fighting skills transferred over. The one shocking thing this episode was hearing that Han Shuo may have been attracted to Chen Qian Qian when she was still Chen Qian Qian and he saw her riding her runaway horse. But his need to live was too strong for him and he poisons her without thought. That's deep.My episode updates: https://kisskh.at/profile/silent_whispers/feeds/4qm4otA
