You are right! They both cooked questionable foods to each other. 🤣Regarding the shoes, isnt it not encourage…
Yes you are right. Esp in Chinese culture, its not encouraged to give your loved ones shoes. But I think its purposely done by the writer to subvert the message like she did in many parts of the drama that despite that gifts, our couples ended up together anyway thus not to believe in ‘superstition belief’.
Other examples of subvert troupes she did is by making A’Sheng the way she is. This kind of personality usually are for ML in Cdramas but here the gender is reversed.
Or the miscommunication troupes in most XianXia dramas another subvert troupe done by the writer since our couple solves everything by communicating openly and hearing explainations despite their own secrets are pretty damning.
Also the commentary on the 9th September Heavenly Talents which is one of the main mystery in the drama — to show on not to believe in divination since everyone, regardless of their birthdate can be heroes.
Rewatching this drama again for the past day and I just want to say I love our main couple. 🤗
The romance is truly a bonus for this drama. Lu QianQiao and Xin Mei has one of the healtiest relationship between husband & wife in XianXia dramas. They discussed everything together and understand each other on fundamental level. Lu QianQiao is right when he said he is so lucky to meet Xin Mei. She understand him, share the same sentiment with him regarding immortality and wasnt prejudice towards his origin. Her gentleness and sincerity made him fall in love for the first time in his life.
The highlight of their relationship is through mutual understanding. They are mature, have good communication and always discuss when they are faced with conflicts — in a nutshell, they behave like what their age supposed to be which are 200 years old and 70 years old respectively — a couple with very high EQ. So no unnessarily angst or misunderstandings, noble idiocy or petty games between them. And we know how Lu QianQiao got game and know how to flirt when he used his wife’s lipstick to draw the sun in his painting. 😆
Lu QianQiao and Xin Mei literally like a mirror/reflection of each other. Like they both started their relationship with their own ulterior motives. Or how the marriage bond saved Mei couple of times when she’s on the verge of death and not only him. Also the part where both went and beyond to help people in need where him against his bloody nature as a War Demon and while her breaking rules to do that at the cause of her cultivation. Also how they both experience ‘memory erasing’ spell since that is Lu QianQiao’s response to trauma. Apart from that, they both cook questionable foods for each other (lol), gifted each other with clothes and shoes (the emphasis on the shoes is kind of funny) and seek revenge for each other when other people wronged them. Their relationship reflect the Chinese title of the drama which is ‘ A Perfect Match Made in Heaven’.
Not bad. As expected of the tough douban crowd. 😆 Its on the higher end since most XianXia usually fall in lower 5 to lower 6 range. Perhaps it will increase later like Demon Hunter’s Romance from opening score of 7.3 to 7.6 later.
Nice Nice 👏🏽👌You gave a golden review of the drama Well written and with a very great understanding depth…
Thank you! 🤗 It made me happy to read that.
Ren Jialun play this role to perfection. The emotional weight he gave the character speaks thousand of words. And I love how he potrayed that emptiness and suffering of Lu QianQiao through ‘silent’ instead of dramatic expressions. It made the whole potrayal more heartbreaking and sting somehow. 😢
The blood pact should remain as they only wipe his memories. If any one of them on the verge of death, it would…
Yes she could actually. But if he didnt response, then she wont be able to talk to him. Without his memories, he might think people just out to get him since he is a war demon. 😅
The blood pact should remain as they only wipe his memories. If any one of them on the verge of death, it would…
They met again. Its only time for them to fall in love again. We see it how she falls for him even without her memories, so he could too. Its just a matter of time. The ending is very hopeful instead of bleak. 😀
He is alive but his character dies. Idk why they say it’s a HE.
He is indeed an empty shell since he lost his memories. But pay attention to details as he still got his personality like his costume design doesnt change, he loves to eat once he got his taste back and everything else is still the same. Just like Mei when she lost her memories, she is still Mei.
Remember when he asked Chu Yibg to remind him again if he forgets? And once he sees Mei and know her again, he will still fall in love with her again. They will create a new memory together again. And maybe someday, certain memories will make him rememebr everything again. And also remember their blood pact is still there and will alwaya be.
If we start seeing this from all the foreahadowing and clues the writer gave us in the last 2 episodes, its all lead to happy ending. It might take time, but we know they will get there.
It wont cheapen their relationship but instead elevate it since the decision he has to make at that time for a greater good has weight. And that weight is their entire relationship together.
Just like Asheng ascend to Heaven just by killing Xia Xuanzi, LQQ contribution is much bigger and will be rewarded even more.
How's the romance in this one? Is it RJL's usual with a ride or die FL and an equal otp or is it more in line…
Love of Nirvana is great. Like totally great. So much substance and subtext in the script. I highly recommend it if you genuinely want to watch a great drama.
And the love really equally. One of the best love stories Ive seen in recent years. And RJL and Li Landi got great chemistry together. You will start the drama thinking how can they be lovers and finished the drama totally convinced they are soulmates. 🙂
Lu Qianqiao’s decision to be a Perfect War Demon in the end didnt cheapen his whole journey but actually put emphasis on the great sacrifice he has to make. Since at the end, he need to chose between his own personal wants versus the greater good. I actually expect that since the beginning of the drama since that decision has weight.
All XianXia and Wuxia dramas always have this as a the central theme. Its refers to Xia which translate to ‘Hero’. Thus his sacrifice for the greater good made him a hero in this story as this is his story. Can you imagine if he didnt have to make that decision? Then it ddidnt honor the genre of this drama which is XianXia which means ‘Immortal Hero’.
I think when the writer told us it would be satisfying happy ending, since despite his great sacrifice, he still get what he wants at the end — not only his power, his 5 senses as the curse against his clan being lifted INCLUDING reuniting with his wife and friends.
This drama is not messy. It is actually very well written with proper structures. Everything was set up way earlier…
They explained everything in the beginning of the drama about the 5 curses. Then you will understand why he wants to be human.
To be honest, its been a long time since I come across drama that is this well written. The details and subtexts in the script took my breath away aside from the heavy messages and social commentaries the drama wants to send across.
this is a call to all Xianxia/Xuanhuan fans, I NEED YOUR HELPI have a few questionsDo you think this is a good…
This drama is not messy. It is actually very well written with proper structures. Everything was set up way earlier before the events happened. They also show a lot than tell so you need to pay attention since they wont explain some things to you.
I didnt watch any of the drama from the same universe and I understand it just fine.
This kind of script is very intelligent with lots of social commentaries and food of thoughts arguments. Many of the messages in the drama can be linked to modern problems like the class system, high tax, high cost of living, socioeconomy matters, also lots of critique about economy and politic.
I would say this drama is a bit on the high end conpared to other XianXia dramas which usually focus on romance more. This drama main theme would be Mortal vs Immortality, Rules vs Moral and Segregation vs Fairness.
That said, you like what you like. But this drama probably will get high Douban ratings for how strong is the script.
What a ride! It was intense 5 episodes finale before they gave us 2 episodes to see the aftermath of the events. We can see how every character is doing even Ying Ying. 😃
That said, it is a very emotional episodes for me before the writer gave us our couple’s happy ending. I just wish it is more as she said **satisfying happy ending** lol.
All the scenes that gave me waterworks. Its is great how much this drama made me feel. Basically:
1. Xin Mei’s Shifu dies - 🥹 2. Lu Qianqiao reminisce all his happy times before he becomes Perfect War Demon - 😭😭😭😭😭 3. A’Sheng dies in Xin Mei’s arms - 😭😭😭 4. Then Xin Mei calling Lu Qianqiao many times but he didnt recognise her - 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 5. I even cry when Li Muhan is imagining his father - 🥹🥹 6. Basically all reminisce scenes - 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 lol
I actually like how the ending commented about the 9/9 Heavenly Talents. The overall message is to critique on people’s belief of divination. In the end, they all Heavenly Talents that saved the world regardless of their birthdates.
Also, despite hoping for more, I like how Lu Qianqiao got what he wants at the end even at a great cost. He becomes even more powerful, he has all his senses now and he reunited with Mei and Chu Ying.

So this already back to back happy endings
Remember when he asked Chu Yibg to remind him again if he forgets? And once he sees Mei and know her again, he will still fall in love with her again. They will create a new memory together again. And maybe someday, certain memories will make him rememebr everything again. And also remember their blood pact is still there and will alwaya be.

And he did kissing scenes if its required him to as can be seen in full romance dramas like Forever and Ever and The Blue Whisper. 😅
The writer said it would he satisfying happy ending. 🥲🤣 I feel being lied to. 🫠
I didnt watch any of the drama from the same universe and I understand it just fine.

This drama have only a little bit of romance as the focus is his character’s journey to become human.
That said, it is a very emotional episodes for me before the writer gave us our couple’s happy ending. I just wish it is more as she said **satisfying happy ending** lol.

I actually like how the ending commented about the 9/9 Heavenly Talents. The overall message is to critique on people’s belief of divination. In the end, they all Heavenly Talents that saved the world regardless of their birthdates.
