Unfortunately, it was unmemorable as I couldn't recall the scene 😅 doesn't matter though. It didn't affect my overall sentiment.

Ain't it ironic to pair these two together lol. Allen's fake kiss with Xing Fei in Miss Crow was weirdly angled and rather funny looking; I'm actually leaning toward tons of hugs, caressing, hands holding as opposed to fake kiss in regards to this project. Since it's a historical romance, I think it's more plausible to put it in that way. I don't think he did fake kiss in Under the Power as far as I remember and the romance, as far as it goes, was believable (despite the nonexistent kiss scene).

If you don't skip opening/ending theme, you'd see Nian Qin, sitting on hospital bed, sporting a bandage wrapped around his eyes. There's more clues he regains eyesight so you might want to rewatch the opening/ending theme.

Evan Lin's expression when he slipped off the staircase was on point. I know I shouldn't laugh but that was super realistic 😂

He is/was.

And when Sayaka-san noticed baby sprout of the tree! AHHH!!!

Suganami-sensei's left brain quickly pouring facts when Mone wonders the possibility bumping into him in Tokyo had me lol-ed so hard XD Ah! Off to second arc now! So excited!

Bai Jue asking Gu Jun why didn't he stop Houchi from confining herself in Hidden Mountain and subsequently had the newlyweds separated — that hurt so bad.

EP38-39 broke my heart 😭

I know we all have started to despise her but can we acknowledge Jenny Zhang's acting is on point? She's straight out charismatic and poise that whenever she starts to berate others or indulge her greed — I pause because she's elegant 😳 her acting is sharp yet not overdramatic.

Osamu Dazai...fu? 😂😂😂

Yeah, I noticed this while watching Reunion: Sound of Providence. Second season was aired right after and it confused me a bit. Thought it's simply plot fragmentation since they did kickstart subsequent season with newer arc and utilized time-lapse. I'm also guessing not every production has this advantage. ALP has notable ensemble (actors, OST singers, behind the scene team) but unfortunately, I get the impression the book it's based from isn't wildly popular/written by household author. And the premise is neither state of art. I'm comparing this to JOL and R:SoP, and ALP negotiating power is evidently much lesser (and I know this comparison isn't 1:1). I'm not sure if they filmed this during pandemic and if they did, it could've added budget issue as well.

Ah no wonder! If that's the case, must be distressful for Wuxia and Xianxia screenwriters to properly write up screenplay and cram in events since these genres typically contain multiple arcs 😯

I don't read the novel but it seems like 49eps is a tad short? I'm at 26th episode and somehow, it feels far from climax and nowhere near to it. Nevertheless, I'm hoping they wouldn't give us half-hearted ending because I think there's a lot to pack up and squeeze in at this rate.

I swear his childishness is so charming hahah. He's like a kid wanting to share his toys but only he can give the permission. No one else can pass around the toys except him. This duo better not split or sacrificed 💀✊🏻

For once, I'm glad she spoiled the ending. I'm not exactly the type to root for main leads and would usually sit tight on sidelines, clutching the plotlines but this pair somehow makes me really wanna see them together lol. Their chemistry is subdued imo but ain't they look cute standing side by side 🤭😅😂 Also I feel like this drama is moving fast. By far, this pacing is the speediest among all Xianxia I've watched. Granted, it has the shortest episode length but it seems like the production hardly put in 'brooding' / 'purposeless' scenes. Like the time Houchi on the swing and Qingmu magically popped out plates of fruits — obviously that's a semi-filler but it's briefly done. They quickly moved on to the spear matter. I was like, oh I thought you two gonna waltz out of nowhere or do something to nourish the romance lol. We're almost halfway through and while I'm ready for HE, it feels like everything happened in the blink of an eye 😯

Forever parted?! 👀

The repartee between Tianqi the facetious lad and his trusty, well-matched in humour divine beast, Zihan didn't disappoint. Zihan debilitating whether to salute Qingmu or not in the heat of moment, also served. I need no further proofs to stamp these guys as my favourite male ALP characters. Fengran pointing out and defending Changqin deserves a round of applause. Qingmu somewhat getting ready to leave the world and briskly changed his mind when Houchi assured he'd not go anywhere and would be granted a wish — that was quick and pure gold. Qingmu is made of sparkles, me think. The reappearance of Baijue's spear and Hongri — I've been waiting and truly, it made my heart raced. Now, next episode please.

EP21 delivered. Keep the engine heated.
