Ep 18 trailer : Jiang Yan confesses to ZW and ask why can't it be him instead of LXX.
Ep 19 trailer: LXX and Luo He fight, and this is the scene where he gets stabbed since LH kidnapped ZW. He's in a hospital bed & says "ZW 你要对我负责“ which means you now have to take responsibility for me. It's a bit romantic because it's his way of saying he wants to be with her for life & recognize her as the one. But LXX's grandpa tells off ZW and requests she leave his grandson alone & that if he had never met her - LXX life would've / should've been smooth. TLDR - you guys belong to 2 different worlds, so leave my grandson. This is so heartbreaking bc ZW is really alone :(( And I'm pretty sure that guilt forces ZW to leave him.

Trailers for the next episodes make me so sad :( ZW is all alone

I'm really curious too, but reading the novel & watching the drama so far, LXX has abandonment issues. His mother committed suicide in front of him, leaving him (a kid) alone. When he was at the hospital, only his aunt showed up and cared about him. He's someone who's grown up being abandoned. And so when ZW leaves him too – it really is the worst thing she can do to him and the ultimate betrayal. In his head its probably the idea that – "in the end you also abandoned me". I don't think he's incapable of being alone, but he and ZW are both lights to each other's darkness. They understand and heal each other in a way that other people won't be able to understand. Hence why he's willing to do so much for her. In the novel, a certain upcoming event forces them apart & partially also the way both characters' personalities are .... stay tuned :)

+1!!! Agree :)

Love this drama so far. Every episode has me wanting more. Love the chemistry between the 2 leads, and it gives slow burn, but you can evidently tell how much LXX cares about ZW. While ZW may appear aloof or not as affectionate as LXX, it shows the contrast between their backgrounds and personalities. LXX can afford to do what he wants because he comes from a privileged background. Sure, he has family trauma, but so does ZWW, whose situation is even worse! She lost both her parents (mother doesn't count) and only has her grandma, who's very sick (in & out of the hospital). She's only a teenager who missed her college exam, but has to shoulder the responsibility of caring for her only family member and figuring out how to pool together money for it to happen. Poor girl is really all alone :/ LXX is really a green forest sent to her by her dad. He's always there for her, cares for her, fights for her, and expects nothing from her (besides hoping his feelings are reciprocated, haha, but who doesn't). He never stays mad at her for long, either (boy is a yearner). Hence, her departure later on will hurt him so much. He just wants her by his side, and that's reflected in Ep 9 when he says he just wants her to stay by him while he works on his portfolio. She grounds him, and I think he sees her resilience and independence as respectable, but also someone he wants to protect because the world has made her like this. These 2 characters really heal and balance each other. And ZW, while aloof, definitely likes him and has grown protective of him, too. EP 10, when she fights against her mother and runs to get his portfolio to the teacher. The girl is so loyal and will give her all for the people she cares about & love. Also, she's not a pushover. I think the script doesn't fully highlight how smart she prob is or can be – given she's just a girl who's at the whim of money rn bc of her situation. But I think she can definitely be super badass, like how she handles her mother & LuoHe & LXX in the beginning when she refused to do business with him. Anyways, rant over – I want to see my leads get together & start dating already. I need their couple's arc before <3 break :(

Btw -- I love the novel too! But I definitely think the drama is lighter. Both are good in their own respective way, & I do implore fans of the novel to treat this drama as its own entity too. If its 100% adapted the same way, it can go well or super wrong. I think it's refreshing the way the director & scriptwriter changed some things up. Keeps me on my toes because it's not completely predictable, but I also feel excited when I see certain scenes adapted into the drama!

Correct translation is just Zhou Wan mother's name!

I think BFX and HFX are either 20years old or younger cause in episode 12 the first prince's advisor mentioned "it's been 20 years... you're still just as cruel". And I feel like the 1st prince was probably abandoned by his mother 20 years ago when HFX was prob born... Also given that the keep mentioning how he's at a marriage age he's probably relatively young.

Just watched the previews or ep37-42 and now I'm wondering if Chang Ge is going to be a princess of Mo Bei based on her outfit?

I completely agree with you. I watched up to ep 30 without subs, and I felt myself being frustrated at her when AS's nanny died. If she wasn't impulsive and trusted AS then everything wouldn't have happened. But after some reflecting I realized it wasn't completely her fault. A strength of CG's that makes her such a badass FL is because she sticks by what she believes in and fights for it. Her recklessness can also be due to her not really being afraid of death anymore. She's been through so much, from her entire family dying to her uncle betraying her to her country forsaking her. This girl just can't seem to catch a break. AS's loyalty and love towards her is something she is also slowly noticing too. I couldn't help but scream when she finally called him A' Sun instead of the formal title.

Based on the recent interview videos that were released it seems that CG is going to mature and learn from all her experiences. The actress mentioned her character is going to become stronger and be a character worthy of AS's love in the episodes to come, so I'm super excited for it!

I completely agree with you. This has actually become one of my favorite C-drama! I love the strong female lead character in this drama and it's so nice to finally see the typical gender role of damsels in distress that need saving. I feel like the rating is so low and people have issues with it just because they can't get over the age gap between the leads (which personally doesn't even seem so evident - just haters imo).

Yess tell this to all the haters!

Can someone explain to me the Ghost Valley? Like are the "Ghosts" actually dead and stuck in the middle between the Living and Dead World or are they a sect?

Just watched the ending briefly without subs and I wished Wu Chun showed more of her powers as the "Mother of the Earth" like where are her badass parts???? Also there better be a season 2 or epilogue series of some sort cause the ending got me so frustrated. It's just like Legend of Awakening all over again - why do Chen Xiao's characters keep dying even when she's the FL?

I'm excited and nervous about the future episodes. The first episode already foreshadows the FL losing her entire family and marrying Duke Su. Not ready for the waterfalls T^T

Agree ^^

Ohh sorry misinterpreted what you meant lol. I think watching listening snow tower would allow you to compare crystal yuan’s acting in both & there are some familiar faces too like Liu da ge

Yes her acting and character is sooooo much better here than in Listening Snow Tower (in my opinion)!!! I can’t believe she’s actually the same actress. I think it’s honestly the fact Listening Snow Tower’s plot and character is just written that way and I found her kinda boring tbh. In this one i felt more chemistry between her and the male lead than in listening snow tower and the plot is more interesting that I found myself rewatching the episodes. This is all my opinion but I would definitely recommend you watch this one

can't waittttt :)))))

Ohh do u know what is Feng she’s role/ purpose? Like who is he exactly?
