They seemed to have replaced the whole episode.
Now we have the usual farewell credits at the end with all the snapshots.

Currently watching episode 6.
And I need to vent a little.
What’s up with the soundtrack in this drama?
It’s called background music for a reason. Only brought center stage, when it suits the narrative.
Not attention seeking nearly the whole time.

Unpopular opinion, but I like the color change in their clothes.
Our girl as the baddie that she is in black, and JBZ and Buxiu in these crème burned mashup colors. All three are rocking their outfits.
And I think it’s cute, that 27’s new hair matches the color scheme of JBZ’s clothes. 😅

From the level, I react to his character, I would say, he does a great job at being a villain in disguise of a babyface. LOL
MQB was a great villain too. Nicely portrayed in an ambiguous way, where you were never completely sure, how he would play out his next move.
But these innocent baby faces like SL have the ability to sneak up to you because the face doesn’t display anything (yet). Only their actions. And even these come sometimes your way disguised as “good deeds”.
Imo until now the actor for SL does an amazing job with the role given. He switches easily between the innocent fanboy and the villain in the making.
But - everybody has a different take on things. So your opinions are valid as mine. 🤷🏻‍♀️

How much episodes did you watch until now?
There is a reason, the handsome 2ML Situ Ling has A LOT of comments here dedicated to him. And not in a good way. LOL
And until now his character hasn’t had a redemption in the aired episodes.

Or she puts the puzzle pieces together in the next episodes since in the preview she presents JBZ as the CP.

Shouldn’t have MY recognized the mark between JBZ’s eyes during her heart to heart talk with him, since her empress “mom” has the same?

That part of the story was triggering. Ngl.
And I needed a break afterwards from this drama too.
( Today’s episode healed me quite a bit, after our stalker left the screen. Afterwards it was a wholesome episode for the most part. )
But to drop the ratings for it? Why?
You can find fault with the script as a whole like some viewers, who find it boring or annoying because “always the same tropes”. But that didn’t seemed to be the case for you, or you wouldn’t have rated it a 9 until now.
The actors did an excellent job with this difficult scenes. Or we wouldn’t react so heavily. (For me was Situ’s behavior afterwards adding to the massive discomfort I was feeling already.)
The writing is - until now - plausible for the character development of the Situ role. Sadly in a dark, twisted and violent direction. Which can be unbearable to watch. That scene included.

Reading all these categories felt like “everybody gets a trophy”- version of the famous Oprah line. 🤣🤣🤣

After Situ left the screen the rest of episode healed me after yesterday’s trauma from too much exposure to stalker boy.
How Situ violated her free will and kept pestering her … it was difficult and disgusting to watch.
Today instead, seeing this motley warrior crew of underdogs (besides our MLs) going to that tea tournament, and the lovey dovey moments of our love birds brought some inner peace back. 🥰

Or bro talk after 27 is back and JBZ’s body has a relapse from the poison.

That’s a scarily apt description 🤣🤣🤣

Definitely.
She tries to distance herself to make it easier for him, if she dies.
And he? Does in reverse the same as her. Not telling her about the given antidote to avoid, that she will feel guilty if he needs it in the future.
No surprise, the heart bound spell against the netherbeasts worked.
One mind, indeed, with these two lovebirds.

Meanwhile both acting like the married couple they ….. are. 😅

Finally someone else who paid attention to the names of their sword and fan. 🤗
Our brainy inventor did not only forge a perfect weapon for him, no,, it does even protect him if he is incapable to defend himself or otherwise occupied. That’s a pure expression of love.
Named “Nirvana”, because she wants a happy peaceful future for him.
And “Embers”? If you look the meaning up, it’s beautiful and heartbreaking all in one.

Situ had the advantage to witness a signature move by her as a warrior while she was fighting the netherbeast.
And since he himself lives under a fake ID that possibility is more present for him.

I encountered the same issue today in the app.
But their YouTube channel worked regarding subtitles.

Watch on YouTube. There they have subtitles.

Him shamelessly flirting with his wife had me grinning the whole time.
But also his more serious side in between had me “awwww”. His deep understanding and the resulting patience, that being her true self and being honest about her own feelings is difficult for her. After all, she was forced to led a double life the whole time. Under harsh conditions.
