the reason she transforms back to human form naked is that she lost her memory of what she was wearing before

it's pure conjecture, no one knows the ending,

It's not you at all! it's okay, flirty is okay to use, everyone says she' flirty but it's just me, I don't like that word for her. Nothing to do with your English, your English is great.

I know what you mean. It's just that I don't like that word for her. She was very calculated.
She didn't meet a man she liked until Mei Zhuyu.

I may be the only one, but I never saw Wu Zhen as a flirty character. I thought she portrayed Wu Zhen very respectable lady who stood up to anyone. She really did feel like Wu Zhen in the novel, just like the way Mei Zhuyu in the drama described her, "You are an excellent lady, You are the bravest, most determined, and most outstanding lady I've met. You're even more outstanding than most of the men I've encountered."

“You don’t know the ending.

You’re mourning a man in a picture—but the story hasn’t ended. What if he lives?

The sect leader said to him, "Zhu Yu, you've never left Changxi Palace ever since you came here as a child. It's only human for you to be bewitched by the splendor of Chang'an."

The last time he saw a female when he was 6 yrs old but Mei Zhuyu's first day in Chang'an, he was captivated by Wu Zhen riding her horse through Chang'an. It was love at first sight.

did Wordless Book have any memories before he knew Wu Zhen?

Some argue that rankings alone don’t tell the full story, and that you have to look at the raw data. But context matters. Moonlit Reunion debuted just five days after This Thriving Land—right as TTL was gaining serious momentum and breaking records across China. Despite going head-to-head with a juggernaut, Moonlit Reunion managed a 14% market share on Yunhe, which is a solid performance by any measure.

TTL debut on 8/13 and was gaining momentum. By MR's debut on 8/18, TTL was surging—and peaked to 46.1% on 8/21, and still going strong with 20.6% currently.

If another S+ drama that peaked at 24% or even debut at 33.6% had aired after This Thriving Land, its market share would almost certainly have been lower. TTL’s dominance reshaped the viewing landscape, and any drama airing in its shadow would be fighting for a much smaller slice of the pie.

His talent isn’t just in crying scenes—though those are exquisite—but in emotionally loaded moments that are pure, raw, and deeply nuanced. Quick shots don’t do him justice. He thrives in longer, uninterrupted scenes where the camera lingers and his understated style lets emotion quietly radiate from his face. He needs scenes that give him space to act, not just react. Xu Kai might really shine in shorter, male lead–centric dramas where he’s present in nearly every scene. That kind of format would give him space to fully showcase his range and emotional depth. The catch is, those types of dramas don’t tend to dominate the mainstream—they’re often overlooked in favor of ensemble casts or longer, plot-heavy series.

Do you think the way they handled the overseas rollout might’ve impacted its overall viewership? Or is the international audience still too small to make a noticeable difference?

that's mei zhuyu all right

first time

wait for 800 meter radius

"We can't change things. It's all predestined." 🌌😞

Ep 33 toward the end was very touching to me

I’ll never forget Mei Zhuyu’s little, unassuming carriage—so much like him. It’s the most charming detail in the entire drama.

it' really obvious they snipped out here and there in the scenes but left the crucial moments

OMG that's a real-life case that hits home for me, when she screamed at the herb doctor that the medicine he prescribed gave her baby diarrhea, then died. That's exactly what happened to someone I know personally in China, the herb doctor gave an adult dosage.

adorable
